45th President of the United States, Donald Trump (Vol. 7)

[Byker28i]

Lets not change behaviour, after all it was a 'perfect call'. Lets stop witnesses instead

President Donald Trump's senior aides have further restricted the number of administration officials allowed to listen to the President's phone calls with foreign leaders since his July 25 call with Ukraine's President was revealed and became the centerpiece of the impeachment inquiry, according to multiple White House sources.

Transcripts of Trump's calls with world leaders are also disseminated to a far smaller group of people inside the White House, those administration sources say, continuing an effort to limit the number of people with insight and information about the conversations.
It amounts to a concerted effort to prevent Trump's conversations -- which officials have said sometimes veer off into unguarded or undiplomatic territory -- from becoming known to even those inside the administration.

"Nobody is allowed on the calls," a White House official said, describing the new effort to limit those with access to the calls to only the President's senior-most aides, barring some senior and mid-level career staff from listening in. "The barn door officially closed after the horse escaped."

Alex Vindman, who after testifying before impeachment probe is still working in the White House, was mocked today by President Trump, who called the decorated veteran "a piece of work."

Vindman's lawyer, David Pressman, issued a response this evening, and it brings some heat:

Rep. Devin Nunes’ critics have obsessed over how he is paying for the six lawsuits he filed this year, but there are no public records showing how he has paid his Virginia lawyer.

That means Nunes is either paying for the lawsuits out of his own pocket, promising to pay his lawyer a portion of any money they’re awarded in court at a later date, or flouting House Ethics rules that would require him to publicly disclose who is funding the legal work.

Rachel Maddow looks at former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi's uncomfortable interaction with Donald Trump's fraudulent charity, as well as her awkward proximity to elements of the criminal investigation tied to Trump's impeachment, even as she is meant to be working on Trump's impeachment defense.

You mean the hand sign for “ok” which was turned into a white power symbol as a meme by a online forum called 4chan?

Also know for things such as:

“ The "OK" Symbol is a hand gesture[7] typically used to signal that "all is well." The symbol has been frequently associated with supporters of the 45th President of the United States Donald Trump, with some speculating it is used by members of the alt-right to mimic a Smug Frog depiction of Pepe the Frog. Additionally, the symbol has been accused of being a symbol for "white power" following a 4chan hoax operation to trick news media outlets into reporting that it is a symbol of white supremacy.”[url]

What can even be said, at this point?

Some people will have to explain this to their grandchildren one day.

Since we're discussing (and I was reporting the story of military cadets doing it in trumps prescence)

The ADL describes the symbol as a "trolling gesture" whose use began to increase in 2017.[46][43] According to the ADL, by 2019 some white supremacists had begun using the symbol "as a sincere expression of white supremacy". Many white supremacists have acknowledged using the symbol as a gesture of white power.[40] A number of people have been accused of genuine use of the sign in support for white-supremacist ideology:[37][47][48]
From wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OK_gesture

The "OK" hand gesture, commonly seen as a way of indicating that all is well, has now been classified as something else: a symbol of hate.

On Thursday, the Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish civil rights organization, added 36 symbols to its "Hate on Display" database including the index finger-to-thumb sign that in some corners of the Internet has become associated with white supremacy and the far right.

Trump impeachment: President ‘a clear and present danger to democracy’

Top Democrats have urged Republicans to cross party lines and side with them in impeaching their own leader, US President Donald Trump.

The Judiciary Committee issued an impeachment report overnight alleging Trump committed "multiple federal crimes" in the course of his conduct toward Ukraine, including bribery and wire fraud.

the report is here: https://rules.house.gov/sites/democrats.rules.hous...

President Donald Trump committed criminal bribery and wire fraud, the House Judiciary Committee alleges in a report that will accompany articles of impeachment this week.

The report, a 169-page assessment of the case for Trump’s removal from office, contends that Trump committed “multiple federal crimes” — ones that Democrats addressed under the broad umbrella of “abuse of power,” the first article of impeachment against the president.

“Although President Trump’s actions need not rise to the level of a criminal violation to justify impeachment, his conduct here was criminal,” the panel’s Democrats argue, labeling Trump’s behavior “both constitutional and criminal in character” and contending that the president “betrayed the people of this nation” and should be removed from office.

The staff report, which was filed to the House Rules Committee just after midnight Monday, argues that Trump directed a months-long scheme to solicit foreign interference in the 2020 election, the allegation that forms the core of the two articles of impeachment — abuse of power and obstruction of Congress — approved by the Judiciary Committee last week. Democrats emphasized that proving a criminal violation is not required to justify impeachment.

Any one seen Trumps twitter today? Going all in retweeting bot accounts, pushing Rudys story about Ukraine corrupt.

Republicans have lined up behind Trump for 2020.

Senior republican senators are already saying they will side with the President in the impeachment trial

Which is how juries are supposed to work right?

Being called republicans is the ultimate miss-labeling

Giuliani has a article pushing in the NY times, how he passed along to Mr. Trump “a couple of times” accounts about how the ambassador, Marie L. Yovanovitch, had frustrated efforts that could be politically helpful to Mr. Trump.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/16/us/politics/giu...

He actually said: “I believed that I needed Yovanovitch out of the way … She was going to make the investigations difficult for everybody.”

He is boasting that he successfully pushed to get a United States Ambassador fired so that he could carry out his criminal acts for trump in Ukraine.
https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/12/23/the-...

He's back from his trip away saying how the sacked and disgraced Ukraine prosecutor and a politician have suddenly come up with proof Giuliani was right all along, how Joe Biden killed a man that was still alive...

Edit: Whats noticeable is Giuliani saying that Yovanovitch was in the way of delivering their illegal scheme, trump was fully informed and removed her because of it. Giuliani just dropped trump in it again...

Meanwhile the Rissuans have started trolling trump. Russian commentators note, that “sooner or later, the Democrats will come back into power," and they’re already joking about offering Trump asylum

Russian commentators are also drawing parallels between Trump and ousted Ukrainian president Yanukovych, who fled to Rostov-on-Don in Russia upon his ouster in 2014. “Should we get another apartment in Rostov ready?” joked one,



As Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov returned home from his visit with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office last week, Russian state media was gloating over the spectacle. TV channel Rossiya 1 aired a segment entitled “Puppet Master and ‘Agent’—How to Understand Lavrov’s Meeting With Trump.”

Vesti Nedeli, a Sunday news show on the same network, pointed out that it was Trump, personally, who asked Lavrov to pose standing near as Trump sat at his desk. It’s almost the literal image of a power behind the throne.

Remember how Flynn was so close to getting a no prision time plea deal, but then screwed it up by ditching his legal team and chosing a lawyer known for selling anti-Mueller t-shirts, demanding not to be sentenced until after the Department of Justice Inspector General report came out because someone (he still talks to trump) or Barr, told him it would prove he was framed for the crimes he has admitted to and that there was overriding evidence for - including in that storage unit he hid away.

Remember - trump has tweeted praise for Michael Flynn’s new legal strategy, is still trying to keep him quiet.

Now he's definitely screwed. Judge Sullivan has denied Michael Flynn's motions to obtain new evidence from prosecutors, effectively sealing his fate, short of a pardon.
https://twitter.com/kyledcheney/status/12066618832...

Sullivan accuses Flynn's legal team of having " lifted verbatim portions from a source without attribution."

Edit: due for sentencing on 28 Jan

'Many people' are saying that trumps social media team are now making false accounts so that trump can retweet them, not believing that trump or his social media handlers just happened to come across an obscure tweet from a brand new fake account that perfectly fit their messaging and think that trump’s social media team created this fake account so it could retweet it.


Trump retweeted a self-identified Jewish man in New York who is now voting for Trump in 2020 because of impeachment, a guy named “Joseph From Boro Park” who claimed in his Twitter bio that because of the actions of his local Congressman Jerry Nadler, he’ll be voting for Trump.

NBC News reporter Ben Collins noticed that the account had only been created the day before, and that Trump retweeted the very first tweet that the account posted. Also, the account used a fake profile picture that was stolen from a newspaper.

Giuliani realising what he's done then went on Fox to say: "I didn’t need her out of the way, I forced her out because she’s corrupt" pushing the corruption line again...
