    Yes but not all Presidents make the news by getting two scoops of ice cream either.

    Exactly we need to know the details as to why the whistleblower felt compelled to blow his whistle. OMG did POTUS promise to do something traitorous? Did he promise to go to war by bypassing Congress? Did he promise to give Russia something that he had no right giving?

    We will not see any story where CNN says POTUS ODL is a Russian spy. There will be or has been a story of CNN quoting someone that said test POTUS ODL was a Russian Asset". CNN must report legitimate news and they do.

    A contributor to CNN or, Fox, or MSNBC, or ABC, or ABC, or CBS, or any network may have said it but that is not the same as the network saying it.

    The fact that the Whistleblower felt obligated to blow the whistle there has to be something there.

    You are arguing with Trump fans who seem to be genetically prone to hate any network other than Fox.

    No the whistleblower took legal legitimate steps and went to the Insoector General not CNN.

    Right on target you are an American patriot and Trumpers could learn from your example but they will not.

    I don't believe urgent and of concern whistleblowing is unprecedented... I saw a stat somewhere yesterday that roughly 40% of the reports the IG gets are rated that way. What is unprecedented is the report not automatically being forwarded to Congress... Do not pass Go... Do not consult the Department Formally Known as Justice..

    Within the next couple of days this will be a confirmed story reported by several outlets and conservatives will be forced to switch from the “#fakenews” defense to the “so what?” defense.

    With Barr being the president's personal attorney going to the DOJ would only stop the process. Barr will not allow anything truthfull to be said about ODL if it is negative.

    Do not blame real conservatives it is the Trumpettes who apparently gave up on doing things honestly and patriotically. SAD.

    Using history as a guide any contradiction between the news media and Trump should be likely settled in the news media's favour. They have rarely made a mistake but Trump lies every single day, repeatedly.

    Who, what when and where are all pillars of any good news article. Let's break this down.

    Who filed the complaint? Don't know.

    What was the complaint about? Trump talked to someone?

    Who did he talk to? Don't know.

    What did he say or talk about? Don't know.

    When did it happen? Don't know.

    Where did it happen? Don't know.


    There isn't anything to talk about. It's just another blathering article published by CNN, per usual. In summation, Trump talked to some unknown person on some unknown date about some unknown subject. Kinda sounds like an accusation that the left would make against a SCOTUS nominee. And the left wonders why they are losing validity in the eyes of the public.

    That isn't true at all. Just because someone says something, or does something, doesn't mean it true. Just look at this article.

    Looks like CNN stepped in to the fake news shi* pile again.

    ~Doesn't say which leader
    ~Doesn't say/conform what promise
    ~Can't even say if this story happened
    ~Use anonymous source


    Fails every part of the fake news/crap test

    Nah, some make the news by wearing mom jeans or putting mustard on his burger, or wearing a tan suit.

    Promises or any type of hint of a promise (especially flexible promises) is only bad if you are a black guy...

    There isn't even a need to do the "what if Obama did this..." game anymore because all we have to do is use our memory...

    By the way, no one knows what country Trump was talking to that triggered a whistleblower to file a complaint....

    However, I find it interesting that no Trumper is concerned about how information is being withheld from the Intelligence committee in direct violation of the law

    Where was the hyperlib outrage when Obama was overheard asking Russian President, Medvedev, to tell his boss, Vladimir Putin, that he (Obama) would be much more "flexible" after he won the 2012 election...?! Democrat, thy name is HYPOCRITE!

    [​IMG] Meanwhile, since elected, Trump has ADDED more sanctions.

    By now everyone knows that CNN = Fake News.
    I suppose some still pretend they haven't figured that out yet.

    "In the story, Cohen was reported to have claimed he had personally witnessed Donald Trump Jr. informing then-candidate Trump about the June 2016 meeting. Such a claim from Cohen would directly contradict Trump’s statements about his knowledge of the meeting, where Russians were set to offer dirt on Hillary Clinton.

    CNN’s July 26 story has come under fresh scrutiny in recent days after Davis acknowledged he had served as an anonymous source for multiple news outlets who were seeking to confirm the CNN article in the hours after it published. Davis has backed away from the story in recent days, telling the Washington Post that he is not certain if the claim is accurate, and that he could not independently corroborate it."
    BUZZFEED, Lanny Davis Says He Was A Source For CNN’s Trump Tower Story,
    Davis, Michael Cohen’s lawyer and spokesperson, said he also regrets lying about his involvement in the story on CNN last week., By Steven Perlberg,
