    Which way do you want it, the whistleblower is lying and should be prosecuted or someone violated the espionage act and should be prosecuted? The President is free to discuss matters of criminality and corruption between our country and another with the head of state of that country so it doesn't matter as far as Trump. The fact remains the DNI whistleblower statute by statute does not include him. The issue here is who told the whistleblower what and who was it. They should be prosecuted for leaking information.


    The IG issued a criminal referral for Comey it seems.

    The OLC certainly had one and they know what what was discussed which is CLASSIFIED information. I have no problem with the President discussing matters of possible corruption between officials of the US government and another country especially if a quid pro quo was involved, it's one of their jobs. Is Biden above the law or something?

    You think it’s appropriate for trump to ask a foreign nation to start an investigation into his rival? Based on his knowledge of the case? Or his expertise in Ukrainian law?

    Now we have the leader of Ukraine coming out publicly completely puzzled and saying that President Trump did not try to improperly coerce or pressure him.

    So.... THIS IS IT!!!!!

    The ridiculous part is the number of Democrats that have come out publicly for impeachment on this matter WITHOUT KNOWING CRAP! Pathetic.

    From Biden's video and his son's ridiculous position, there should be an investigation and EVERYONE should be calling for it.

    It's called the law, the statute that governs DNI whistleblowers, but then when did the law matter to you? And urgent is just a normal classification and it was immediately addressed by the OLC, the statute does not apply the person does not qualify as a whistleblower on top of the fact it is hearsay.

    We’re going to just investigate people for being successful now huh?
    Had this come from the SOS or DOJ it would have a smidge of credibility! From trump? It’s obvious what this was. Especially when their aid got held up. He was trying to get a foreign govt to invesigate a rival because he thought it would help him win. Why pretend otherwise? You know in a few months you’ll admit it and just say it’s fine because it’s not illegal. Just like with the trump tower meeting, you’ll blame everyone else.
    So why don’t we just skip forward to that?

    The Washington Examiner + "unnamed sources"?

    LOL.

    That's just damage control.

    And it doesn't seem to be working.

    How much you wanna bet that Giuliani gets the ax in the coming shitstorm?

    Even though trump admits it they’ll say the WB made it up and just happened to guess right lol
    They did the same thing with the trump tower meeting. The Russian lawyer was a plant who just guessed correctly that Russia wanted trump to win and was going to help him.

    And what happened to the "Trump Tower meeting" narrative? It died just like The Russia investigation.

    It must be one heck of a coincidence that the whistleblower made it up because Trump has admitted to doing exactly what the whistleblower said. Now the narrative has shifted to "so what." Have you not been following your conservative echo chamber?

    Yes it turns out republicans don’t mind that trump knew Russia planned to meddle on his behalf, just like they didn’t mind when he said he’d take it for 2020 happily, or now when he admits to asking for some help from Ukraine.
    Didn’t you say this was fake news before trump admitted it?

    It always shifts there.
    He didn’t even know stormy!
    So what, we knew he was horny.
    Trump tower was about adoption!
    So what, she didn't deliver Russian assistance that day!
    Trump didn’t ask Comey to lay off Flynn.
    So what, that’s allowed!
    Trump didnt fire Comey over Russia.
    So what, it didn’t work anyway.
    And on and on and on....I don’t know why they just don’t skip right to that.

    I just wish some republicans would say this is wrong and improper, but they don’t care.

    ROFL!!! Successful? Hunter Biden has ZERO Energy Industry Experience and they put him on the board for $188K a month. Then when the whole shady operation is investigated, his Dad threatens the prosecutor and the entire nation with a BILLION DOLLAR threat to get the prosecutor fired. You are good with it!? Of course!

    So why no official request? Why blackmail instead?
    There was no invesigation when the US and our allies called for the prosecutor to go. Nor is there one now. Why not? They needed the legal genius of trump to tell them their own laws??

    Totally different situations. Your attempt to equivocate the Ukraine prosecutor general situation Is silly, foolish, and just posing wrong. Ukraine like every other former Soviet constituate republic ( except for the tree Baltic countries) has had a corruption problem even going. Ack to Soviet days.

    We have not had that ingrained type of corruption here.

    The Trump complaining about Comey was nothing more than Trump admitting that he was corrupt and his administration is The Seamp.

    Shokin was purposely not investigating corruption. The company that Young Biden worked for was corrupt way before Biden got hired. Shokin also failed or refused to investigate and prosecute corrupt officials left over from the pro Russian scum turd Yanukovych gang of gangsters.

    Does Biden being a political rival put him above the law? If there is evidence of possible corruption and a quid pro quo do you believe it should be investigated?
