    Well, see, that's the thing. News Organizations don't routinely share things like this. I suppose Reuters and AP could handle it, but there's a very big impact on an organization's credibility when they can say they have a credentialed photographer at such a prominent event.

    For a photographer, something like this is bigger than the Olympics...

    I have gradually come to the conclusion--tentatively, at least--that President Trump will be impeached by the House. (This is certainly not a done deal, as there are many Democrats from districts that Donald Trump won in 2016; and they will presumably be reticent to put the interests of Nancy Pelosi ahead of their own interests. Still, it is looking more and more like impeachment is a strong possibility.)

    There is no way, however, that the Senate might convict, as that would require 20 Republican votes--if all 47 Democrats were to vote in lockstep, for conviction. (Well, there is actually one possible way: If public opinion were to shift sharply, against the president, then it might be possible. But I seriously doubt that this will happen.)

    I believe the Democrats are merely trying to injure the president, so that he will be less electable in 2020.

    This will surely rile up their own base. But it will do the same with the Republican base.

    And independents--who make up the swing voters--are likely, in my opinion, to be turned off by this tactic.

    Just my own thoughts on the matter...

    Robert E. Allen,
    Since its creation, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has always been used as a political arm of which ever administration was in power. As to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) was at fist am arm of the Treasury Department for the purpose of collecting income taxes from business, which are the ONLY entities who legitimately generate income, but since the advent of the Federal Reserve Banking System (FRBS) wage earners pay income taxes which is not supposed to be in general practice. Being that Communists has taken over government through scholastic indoctrination of the General Public and through governmental practices. Government will NEVER inform the Populace of these facts because it (government; federal, state and local) depends upon the ignorance, psychological enchantments, and entrapment to persuade (see force of coercion) the general public into obedience and compliance.

    What in the Hell does that have to do with my comment?

    "There are news services from all over the world which have credentialed photographers there..."

    The bolded is factually incorrect. This is the statement:

    Special attention should be paid to the problem of interference in the political processes of the United States especially with the alleged involvement of some Ukrainian politicians. I want to declare that this is unacceptable. We intend to initiate and complete a transparent and unbiased investigation of all available facts and episodes, including those involving Burisma and the 2016 U.S. elections, which in turn will prevent the recurrence of this problem in the future.

    Mis-clicked. Meant to respond to the post just before that one about Schiff interrupting the questioning.

    You just showed that it is factually correct. Burisma was corrupt and there were corrupt actions originating from the Ukraine involving the 2016 election.

    I thought you wanted to prevent interference in US elections? No?

    Maybe you should slow down a bit and relax. Breathe.

    You seem to be getting all worked up lately...

    He's doing his best to keep a brave face on. I think even he knows wearing a seat belt isn't going to help.

    No, he showed that it was more specific than a general statement on corruption... Fail on your part.

    You think so? RNC council just made Taylor to admit there was nothing really outrageous in the famous phone call. Yea... but the pre-call! The context! The shiit! From where I sit, both STAR witnesses are visibly shaken and stumbling. Thats, besides knowing jack :roflol:

    Who is very much important when that person is a domestic political opponent of trump.

    Have you ever seen trump call for an investigation into someone who was a domestic political ally?

    Why don't you tell us? I cannot interpret Trump rambling on forever live, much less in a transcript...

    You mean on the testimony that said Trump claimed no quid pro quo? You want to hear that again?
