It's falling apart on them.
Week in review. It's bribery just wait until you see the transcript, oh well you have to read between the lines and a brief claim it constituted a campaign finance violation. Then it was just wait until you see the whistle blower report but now that it's clear this person doesn't even qualify as a whistle blower they are moving onto the "cover up" angle. Let's see how long it takes to find out who the leaker is and if the rumors that Schiff was involved in writing the phony whistle blower report are true.
:lol What batshit conservative news bubble have you been spending the last week living in?

I don't see anything in that article suggesting Schiff wrote the complaint himself. The article says the whistleblower never even met Schiff.
My "batshit" comment was related more to the rest of your post insinuating that the call memo and report were all big nothingburgers that completely fizzled in the news cycle over lack of substance.

Trump melting down at another presser.
Dude is off the deep end man.
His former COS used to keep some of the crazy right-wing nutosphere news from him. The new one, does not.
Trump thinks he can handle it himself by inside accounts.
The last weekend talkshow massacre was a symptom of that. No coherent strategy for handling the inquiry. No new bodies to throw at what is, in essence, an information war. Unstaffed, and detached from reality.
He has surrounded himself with sycophants at the expense of talent or ability, as he has always done, and this is the result.
First few polls show slipping of support, increases in disapproval, and increasing support for impeachment. The momentum is for it at the moment.
Barring (HA) something dramatically changing in his approach, that momentum will continue. Give it a few weeks or months and at some point, the wavering herd of sycophants will smell the predator and the grass and bolt. Once that stampede for the exits starts it will happen shockingly quickly. I think Graham probably has some dirt on him, and he will stay to die on the hill for that reason. I expect that dirt to come out at some point.
Trump will continue to talk of coups, treason, and executions, encouraging stochastic violence. I give it better than even odds of bloodshed at that point.
Hard to predict anything, but I would give the odds of impeachment as much better than even. Prediction markets put it at 70% at the moment.
Once Trump is out of office, we will face real possibility of the spectacle of Trump being actively prosecuted for obstruction of justice. President Pence will not have the time to pardon him.
This will continue to haunt the Republican party for years.

Still no vote for formal inquiry. I wonder why.
The impeachment proceedings against both Presidents Nixon and Clinton began with a vote by the full House of Representatives directing the judiciary committee “to investigate fully and completely whether sufficient grounds exist for the House of Representatives to exercise its constitutional power to impeach” the president in question. In both cases, the resolution granted several specific powers to the committee for it to use in the course of completing the investigation with which it was charged by the full House. First, the authorizing resolutions outlined procedures for issuing subpoenas. Second, the measures laid out a process for taking staff depositions.
Specifically, the Nixon and Clinton resolutions allowed subpoenas to be issued by the chairman and the ranking minority member “acting jointly.” If either declined to act, the individual proposing the subpoena could issue it alone unless the other requested the issue be referred to the full committee for a vote. (Alternatively, the full committee vote could be the first step in the process.) As described in the 1998 report from the judiciary committee accompanying the authorizing resolution, this approach balances “maximum flexibility and bipartisanship.”
Can't have the GOP issuing subpoenas can we :lol

CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin explains why Team Trump’s usual stonewalling tactics won’t work on impeachment
Their standard playbook for blocking House Democrats from investigating the administration are not going to work against an impeachment inquiry.
“You know, one of the broader questions about an impeachment investigation in its entirety is,
will the Trump administration allow anyone from any party of government, from the White House, Justice Department, State Department, to testify?” said Toobin.
“Because as the oversight committees have been going forward, basically they haven’t.
They have stonewalled almost everything.”
the one thing that’s different from the oversight problems versus impeachment is that
the members of the — particularly the Intelligence Committee, have said,
if we get no access, we are not going to court.
We are going to list this obstruction from the committee as part of the impeachment investigation,
that they will basically say,
‘Look, your stonewalling is evidence of why the president should be impeached.'”

SENATOR KING SUGGESTS AT LEAST 20 MINUTES ARE MISSING FROM TRUMP UKRAINE CALL TRANSCRIPT
Independent Senator Angus King has claimed that some 20 minutes of the phone call between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are missing from the White House memo detailing the conversation.
King told CNN host Anderson Cooper Tuesday that he and his staff had reconstructed the call using the memo, determining that more than two thirds of the call time was unaccounted for.
The full transcript of the now-infamous call between the two leaders has not been released. Though the document makes clear that the read out has been edited, it is not clear exactly how much has been cut, and what those sections may contain.

“In his meeting with Zelensky, Pence conveyed the news that hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S. aid to Ukraine was not going to be released amid concerns about the country’s lagging efforts to combat corruption. He also emphasized Trump’s frustration that he thought the European Union was not doing a sufficient job in helping to provide aid. A participant in the meeting said Zelensky was “crestfallen” by the news, though a second participant described the meeting as “cordial” and Zelensky as understanding of U.S. concerns.
At that point, Ukraine’s president had already spoken to Trump and was familiar with the president’s demands. Pence did not mention Biden or the dormant probe of Burisma, the company for which his son had served as a board member. But former officials said that Pence’s emphasis on corruption probably would have been interpreted by Zelensky as “code” for that issue, whether the vice president intended it or not.”

This son of a late Deutsche Bank exec offered a trove of documents to the FBI and House Democrats
Broeksmit, Enrich reported, has been in touch with the FBI and members of the House Intelligence Committee,
trying to blow the whistle on what he believes is far-reaching corruption — and is offering a cache of documents to back it up.
“For more than five years, Val Broeksmit has been dangling his Deutsche Bank files in front of journalists and government investigators, dreaming of becoming the next great American whistle-blower,”
“He wants to expose what he sees as corporate wrongdoing,
give some meaning to his father’s death —
and maybe get famous along the way.
“his trove of corporate emails, financial materials, boardroom presentations and legal reports is credible — even if he is not.”
Deutsche Bank’s accounting records were so haphazard.
warned that the American division was shortstaffed and not taking the Fed’s stress tests seriously.

it was discovered that Schiff had close ties to a Ukranian arms dealer who moved his corporation into the lawmaker's California district. The arms dealer then held a fundraiser for the House Intelligence Committee chairman, which could suggest a quid pro quo situation between them, as Schiff traded political capital for campaign cash.
"Here’s something no one in the media is covering -- Adam Schiff’s ties to Ukraine. How deep do they go?" she asked.
"First, I want you all to meet Soviet-born arms dealer Igor Pasternak... the founder and CEO of worldwide arrows corporation. Pasternak grew up in the Ukraine, but some 25 years ago, his company moved to a location near Schiff’s district in southern California.

Former CIA analyst Fred Fleitz said Wednesday that news reports that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff knew details of a whistleblower's complaint before they were formally filed "confirmed" his analysis last week that Schiff colluded with the individual in the "latest Democratic ploy to take down" President Donald Trump.
"Schiff knew about the CIA whistleblower in advance — way in advance," Fleitz, who also worked at the Defense Intelligence Agency and the State Department, said in the first of eight Twitter posts. "Before he even filed his complaint.
"This is a much bigger scandal that people realize," Fleitz continued. "At a minimum, Schiff should recuse himself from this impeachment inquiry."
In a similar eight-tweet thread last Wednesday, Fleitz said that his analysis of the redacted compliant released by the House Intelligence Committee "suggested the author had a lot of help.

Trump is ‘exhausting’ his staff and allies with ‘egregious’ lies and personal-attack laced tirades
President Donald Trump’s personal attacks on lawmakers are getting so “egregious” that
even his own allies on Capitol Hill and in the White House are “exhausted” trying to stand by him.
“He’s really attacking various Democratic lawmakers, Congressman Adam Schiff, the chairman of the Intelligence Committee,
calling him a ‘sick man’, a ‘lowlife,’
and said that Schiff and Jerry Nadler, the chairman of the Intelligence Committee, and
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the other so-called members of the Squad, women of color,
are ‘savages,'” said Blitzer.
“The president is really — he must be
so angry, so frustrated he’s going off the rails with this.”
“What was striking also was to hear how many times he just flat-out lied about things,” continued Bash.
“Whether it was what went on with Joe Biden and Hunter Biden,
but more importantly even basic things,
like he said on several occasions the transcript was a verbatim transcript and it is an exact transcript
of the phone call with the Ukrainian president. On the actual document that they released from his White House,
it says on the first page, explicitly this is not an exact transcript.”

Conservative columnist says Congress ‘has the goods’ on Trump
https://www.rawstory.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Nancy-Pelosi.png
President Donald Trump is “unnerved” by the rapidly escalating impeachment inquiry,
“I’m of two minds,” Rubin replied. “On one hand, I think he’s completely lost it. He’s in some sort of emotional tailspin.”
“And, on the other hand, this is very conscious,” she continued. “He is trapped, he is snared.”
“If tomorrow the Intelligence Committee announced they did not have another fact,
there would be plenty of information to impeach him and in my view, convict him,
because it’s in his own words, it’s in that transcript,”
“They have the goods,” she concluded.
“And I think at some level he understands that and that’s why he’s going nuts.
That’s why he’s trying so hard to threaten and to bluster.

A spokesman for House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., had acknowledged for the first time on Wednesday that the whistleblower alleging misconduct in the White House had reached out to Schiff's panel before filing a complaint -- prompting President Trump, in an extraordinary afternoon news conference at the White House, to accuse Schiff directly of helping write the document.
Schiff had previously claimed in a televised interview that "we have not spoken directly with the whistleblower." A Schiff spokesperson seemingly narrowed that claim late Wednesday, telling Fox News that Schiff himself "does not know the identity of the whistleblower, and has not met with or spoken with the whistleblower or their counsel" for any reason.
"It shows that Schiff is a fraud. ... I think it's a scandal that he knew before," Trump said, as Finnish President Sauli Niinisto stood at an adjacent podium. "I'd go a step further. I'd say he probably helped write it. ... That's a big story. He knew long before, and he helped write it too. It's a scam."
On "Special Report," Bevan called the report "valuable" and also discussed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's apparent reticence to schedule a formal floor vote on impeachment.
He said Pelosi, D-Calif., has afforded herself maximum flexibility in that without the vote, her committees can issue subpoenas but the minority -- Republicans -- cannot petition for them.
On the flip side, he said, Republicans can tag the inquiry as mostly political because the San Francisco lawmaker has not taken the formal step of making it a "serious inquiry

Fox News legal analyst argues Trump has already admitted to ‘criminal behavior’ — and must be impeached
Andrew Napolitano strongly suggests President Donald Trump has committed an impeachable offense by withholding Ukraine military aid as leverage to seek campaign dirt on Joe Biden.
“The criminal behavior to which Trump has admitted is much more grave than anything alleged or unearthed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, and much of what Mueller revealed was impeachable,” Napolitano wrote.
He lays out the definitions of federal law prohibiting the solicitation by a political campaign of anything of value from a foreign national or foreign government, along with bribery and witness intimidation.
“The president need not have committed a crime in order to be impeached,” Napolitano wrote, “but
he needs to have engaged in behavior that threatens the constitutional stability of the United States or the rule of law as we have come to know it.”
“Can the president put his own needs and wants above the nation’s? In a word: No,” Napolitano wrote.
“Is violating campaign finance law by involving a foreign government in an American presidential campaign an impeachable offense?
Yes, it is.”
He said the president doesn’t seem to understand the laws :lol he has sworn to uphold, and he argued that impeachment was the only remedy to preserve those laws.
“It was to remedy just such reckless, constitutionally destructive behavior that impeachment was intended,” Napolitano wrote.

I don’t understand why people don’t see the shocking fact that the president of the US admitted he tried to get the president of a foreign country to essentially out a political opponent in OUR elections.
And then they are surprised when the foreign leader says its no big deal?
Is CC the only red team member who understands the significance...? he’s the only one I have seen (on the board) Maybe he does not consider himself on the red team so I got it all wrong. What I thought were very obvious standards of conduct have been ignored. This shows a complete lack of understanding of how our democracy and elections are supposed to function.
So next time you are at a party, take a dump in the middle of the floor while everyone watches. It’s standard conduct now.
I don’t understand why people don’t see the shocking fact that the president of the US admitted he tried to get the president of a foreign country to essentially out a political opponent in OUR elections.
Part of it is that what otherwise would be crazy behavior is now the new normal.
We’re also in a post-modern era in the sense that we no longer believe in truth or facts. It’s all relative. Facts get discounted or even ignored because we don’t trust the media. We also believe everyone, no matter how ignorant or uninformed, is entitled to an opinion and to be heard on a playing field equal with those who are more informed or educated about particular topics. Modern politics is more like a sport where people cheer either team blue or red, gobbling up the narrative that supports their ideology and refusing to do the work to get educated. That’s how you get guys like twitter feed Chris who think tweets from a guy ambling for more followers count as political commentary. Or who discount commentary from, for example, a legal scholar opining that the president has committed an impeachable offense as “partisan” and therefore irrelevant.

Fox Analyst Napolitano Keeps On Hammering President Trump
Napolitano railed against Trump for his infamous July call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky,
writing that the scandal is “much more grave” than Robert Mueller’s findings in the Russia probe.
“The criminal behavior to which Trump has admitted
is much more grave than anything alleged or unearthed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, and
much of what Mueller revealed was impeachable,”
Napolitano also took issue with Trump’s allusions to violence that are “palpably dangerous” such as how he suggested that his impeachment would “produce a second American Civil War.”
“[Trump’s allusions to violence] will give cover to crazies who crave violence, as other intemperate words of his have done,”

I'm not going to vote for someone who wants to tell us what words are acceptable to use, who to like and who to dislike, what kind of food we should eat, what kind of car to drive while taking our guns. They want us to pay money out of our pockets to support those who we don't want in our country and tell us how we should raise our kids. I'm against elective and late-term abortions. They even want to dictate what we can eat. They have no sense of humor and criticize those of us who actually like to have fun . They are miserable and want us to be too. Equality to Democrats means conformity and compliance. They want to take our individuality and run us like cattle. Sorry, but the country you want us to become sounds really terrible. I'll never vote for any Democrat for any position ever. I will vote against them no matter who I have to vote for to keep them out of office and imposing their agenda on me. Furthermore, things like the President's character or his finances doesn't mean a thing. We aren't required to like the guy. We elected him to lead this country and make life better for AMERICAN CITIZENS!

Literally no mention of a) DJT's request to Ukraine to investigate a political rival b) DJT's repeated request to Ukraine to investigate said rival or c) DJT's request that China do the same. In doing so, this fails to provide any factual basis as to why impeachment is solely politically motivated as opposed to being grounded in, you know, facts.
It fails to grapple with the fact that use of presidential power to exert influence over the electoral process is a violation of the "fiduciary duty" owed to the country. ("The phrase "high crimes and misdemeanors" does not stand alone, but is rather within the same category as treason and bribery, which are both crimes against the fiduciary interest of the United States.").
Heavy on rhetoric. No facts. Keep on pushing that narrative though.
And that brings us back to the word "other." What distinguishes certain offenses as "high Crimes and Misdemeanors" must be not the fact that serious crimes are involved but the fact that those offenses are similar, in ways relevant to what the devices of impeachment and removal are for, to treason and bribery. But that in tum means that, like treason and bribery, high crimes and misdemeanors, as terms of art, must refer to major offenses against our very system of government, or serious abuses of the governmental power with which a public official has been entrusted ( as in the case of a public official who accepts a bribe in order to tum his official powers to per#sonal or otherwise corrupt ends), or grave wrongs in pursuit of governmental power ( as in the case of someone who subverts democracy by using bribery or other nefarious means in order to secure government office and its powers, or in order to hold onto such office once attained). And, sure enough, even a cursory examination of the precise history of the phrase "high Crimes and Misdemeanors," and of the path that phrase took as it found its way from fourteenth-century England into the Constitution of the United States in the summer of 1787, confirms that understanding of what the words meant.

During a phone call with Xi on June 18, Trump raised Biden's political prospects as well as those of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who by then had started rising in the polls, according to two people familiar with the discussion. In that call, Trump also told Xi he would remain quiet on Hong Kong protests (https://www.cnn.com/asia/live-news/china-hong-kong-oct-1-live-intl-hnk/index.html) as trade talks progressed.
The White House record of that call was later stored in the highly secured electronic system used to house a now-infamous phone call with Ukraine's President and which helped spark a whistleblower complaint that's led Democrats to open an impeachment inquiry into Trump.

Part of it is that what otherwise would be crazy behavior is now the new normal.
We’re also in a post-modern era in the sense that we no longer believe in truth or facts. It’s all relative. Facts get discounted or even ignored because we don’t trust the media. We also believe everyone, no matter how ignorant or uninformed, is entitled to an opinion and to be heard on a playing field equal with those who are more informed or educated about particular topics. Modern politics is more like a sport where people cheer either team blue or red, gobbling up the narrative that supports their ideology and refusing to do the work to get educated. That’s how you get guys like twitter feed Chris who think tweets from a guy ambling for more followers count as political commentary. Or who discount commentary from, for example, a legal scholar opining that the president has committed an impeachable offense as “partisan” and therefore irrelevant.
If we cant live by some sort of truth and facts, we cannot communicate properly.
Not communicating properly, especially for social animals, is in the long run, an evolutionary dead end.
If this truly gets established as a norm we will not get anything accomplished. Goals agreed upon mean nothing.
Society stops working. This makes absolutely no sense to me unless one desires anarchy.

Impeachment frenzy rattles Trump as the out-of-control president goes to war with the CIA
The long-impending constitutional crisis has arrived, courtesy of a CIA whistleblower.
If his or her complaint (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/09/26/us/politics/whistle-blower-complaint.html) was conceived as a covert political action operation, it could not have been more effective.
The nine-page letter (https://deepstateblog.org/2019/09/26/the-ukraine-whistleblowers-complaint/) did what Robert Mueller’s 448-page opus did not: jump-start the impeachment process.
. It’s just “BULLSHIT,” (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1179422987684077568) tweeted the rattled Trump.
there is a subterranean conflict that pulses beneath partisan clashes between congressional Democrats and the Republican president.
It is a clash of bureaucratic factions, fought with leaked (or planted) narratives disseminated by allies in the media.
Not only do U.S. intelligence agencies see
the American presidency is vulnerable to manipulation (or capture) by pro-Trump intelligence services (https://deepstateblog.org/2019/09/14/israels-dangerous-interference-in-2020-race-unifies-the-democrats/) in Moscow, Riyadh, and Jerusalem,
but the president himself is viewed as a threat to the national security process.
the Trump crisis pits a president who says
there are no limits on his freedom of action against the institutional forces of the CIA and FBI.
Trump is willing to mobilize popular hostility to his bureaucratic antagonists.
the whistleblower to a spy (https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1177579380819845120) who should face “Big Consequences.” (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1178442765736333313)

‘Is this thing on?’ FEC chair forced to remind Trump that it is ‘illegal’ to solicit election help from foreign governments
“Oh, it’s on—but someone isn’t listening or can’t read (or both).”
Ellen Weintraub, the chair of the Federal Election Commission, took to Twitter Thursday afternoon
to muse over whether or not President Donald Trump understands that
soliciting or accepting foreign assistance during an election is against the law.
“Is this thing on?” Weintraub wondered, linking to a tweet she made in June drawing attention to the fact that it is illegal for any American—a political candidate, a regular citizen, or even the U.S. president—to solicit or accept “anything of value from a foreign national in connection with a U.S. election.”
