The Trump Infallibility Doctrine
The president cannot fail—he can only be failed.

....

The Republican embrace of “Real America” talk has hardened from political rhetoric into ideological principle. Those who are not Real Americans cannot legitimately wield power or criticize those who do, and therefore no effort to deprive those who are not Real Americans of power can be illegitimate. Nationalism, by definition, draws lines around who belongs and who does not; the core of Trumpist nationalism is the claim that the minority of voters who support the president are the only ones empowered to shape the direction of the country, and the only ones who can confer legitimacy on the U.S. government. The president’s supporters have begun arguing not only that the constitutional process of impeachment is illegitimate, but that Trump losing reelection would be a “coup.”

If the Trump 2020 campaign is holding phony contests to raise money by offering a prize of meeting President Donald Trump that is not honored then it is "out-and-out fraud," a former White House lawyer said, and could lead to prosecutions.

The Popular Information newsletter reported that the Trump campaign has held 15 contests since 2018 offering the prize, which includes a meal, travel and hotel expenses, and a photo with Trump for the winning donor.

Other campaigns have used the same cash-raising tactic, including those of Jeb Bush, Barack Obama, Elizabeth Warren, and Pete Buttigieg. These contests are typically followed up with an announcement of a winner and images from the meal.

But there appears to be little, if any, public evidence of any winners to date of the Trump campaign's contests, raising questions about who has won the prizes.

O. Zeggen ze hier nou dat de mensen die geld overmaken in de hoop een overheerlijke lauwwarme Fish-O-Filet sandwich van MickeyD met de prez te mogen verorberen in de luren worden gelegd?

Het zal toch niet waar zijn?

After weeks of selective leaks from behind closed doors in the basement of Capitol, Chairman Adam Schiff just announced plans for public hearings.

Don’t be fooled. Public hearings are not the same as FAIR hearings.

Je verzint het niet, dit. Wat een volk :-) :-)

Bill Taylor transcript

docs.house.gov/meetings/IG/IG00/CPRT-...

Al Kipone 6 november 2019 20:07

excerpt:

Mr. J0RDAN: I thank the gentleman for yielding.
I would just too echo the notice that we got yesterday
that the minority witl not be given access to the transcript,
and even members of this committee or these three committees
can only view the transcript in the presence of someone from
the majority. I don't know that I've seen that happen
before. And just when I thought this process coutdn't get
any more unfair, we find out how the transcripts are going to
be treated.

en als anwoord:

THE CHAIRHAN: Mr. t.{cCaul .
I would only say, because I don't want to get into
extended debate, and we can discuss th'is without taking up
the witness' time, that members of three committees have
access to the transcripts when the transcripts are completed
and they have had a chance to be finafized.
The one transcript that the mjnority was able to
download and print was leaked to the press promptly. That's
a problem, and that is part of the reason we have to maintain
the secu r i ty of the t ransc r i pts.
Fina11y, unlike the past impeachments where there was a
special counsel doing these proceedings before the grand
jury, there js no special counsel here because the Department
of Justice decfined to even investigate the matter so we have
to do that work ourselves.

(Chairman is Adam Schiff)

Roger Stone rechtszaak

Voor de duidelijkheid.
Deze rechtszaak is niet aangespannen om aan te tonen welke rol Roger Stone heeft gespeeld in mogelijke malversaties richting de 2016 presidentsverkiezing.

Roger Stone staat terecht voor:
-Lying to Congress gedurende hoorzittingen
-Witness tampering ( andere getuigen overhalen valse verklaringen af te leggen, om het verhaal kloppend te maken en er geen schuld bewezen kan worden)
-Obstruction of Justice

Aanklager Zelinsky legt het bij de rechter duidelijk aan de jury leden uit :

This case is not about who hacked the (DNC)'s servers.
This case is not about whether Roger Stone had any communications with any Russians.
And this case is not about politics.

This case is about Roger Stone's false testimony......and his efforts to obstruct.
twitter.com/ZoeTillman/status/1192125...

Wanneer justitie wel een rechtszaak had aangespannen over de contacten met WikiLeaks en de GRU(Russische Militaire Inlichtingendienst), dan hadden de aanklagers ook moeten uitleggen wat de rollen en het aandeel zijn van andere potentieel verdachten.
Denk daarbij aan Donald Trump jr, Eric Trump, Jared Kushner, Steve Bannon en 'last but not least' Donald Trump zelf.
Dan hadden deze potentieel mogelijke verdachten al direct een verweer in de pers kunnen voeren om aan te tonen dat ze er niets mee te maken hadden.
Nu, met deze rechtszaak, hebben ze nog geen idee op welke punten zij aangevallen kunnen worden in een toekomstige rechtszaak. Hebben dus ook geen mogelijkheid schoon schip te maken, want ze weten niet op basis van wat zij zich schoon moeten praten.

Justitie isoleert de groep rond Trump, door deze groep kleiner te maken, door ze te berechten voor mindere vergrijpen.

Vandaag(donderdag) staat een House hearing gepland met John Bolton, NSA(voormalig National Security Adviser).

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7632...

Het is de vraag of Bolton wel zal verschijnen.
Zijn ontslagbrief was uitermate kortaf, zodat het er op lijkt dat men niet in der minne uit elkaar is gegaan.
Dit zou een goede reden zijn om wel te verschijnen en de waarheid over Trump te zeggen.

Aan de andere kant zijn er ook redenen om niet te verschijnen. Hij kan bijv denken aan zijn toekomstige carrière en dan is het niet kies om af te geven op je vorige werkgever. Hij kan bijv ook denken dat Trump wel eens represailles kan nemen. En misschien heeft hij nog een andere reden om niet te komen.

In ieder geval meldde iemand, die woensdag arriveerde op DCA (Washington luchthaven, Ronald Reagan National Airport DCA Washington) dat hij Bolton op het vliegveld had gezien. John Bolton stond vooraan in een rij mensen, die aan boord gingen van een toestel dat uit Washington vertrok.
Dat maakt de kans op het verschijnen op Donderdag bij een hearing committee, in Washington, niet erg waarschijnlijk.

Bill Barr did not decline my request to talk about Ukraine. The story was a Fake Washington Post con job with an “anonymous” source that doesn’t exist. Just read the Transcript. The Justice Department already ruled that the call was good. We don’t have freedom of the press!

Earl Matthews, a senior National Security Council official who attended several of the meetings now at the center of the congressional impeachment inquiry, will depart from his job on Friday, according to two people familiar with his plans.

During his time on the NSC, Matthews, the senior director for defense policy and strategy and one of the highest ranking African-American members of the Trump White House, worked closely with former national security advisor John Bolton. He was part of a small group that sat in on meetings with Ukrainian officials that House Democrats are now scrutinizing as they investigate whether President Donald Trump pressured Ukraine to investigate a political rival.

Story Continued Below

Matthews traveled with Bolton to Ukraine in August and Poland in September, where he sat in on meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and senior American officials. The meetings included figures like William Taylor, the top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine, and senior NSC Russia expert Tim Morrison, who have been called up to Capitol Hill to testify about whether they believed Trump and his allies were conditioning security aid and other political favors on Ukraine opening politically advantageous investigations.

Story Continued Below

During the Poland trip, Matthews was also in a meeting between Zelensky and Vice President Mike Pence, who was filling in for Trump after the president called off his trip to monitor potential hurricane damages in the U.S.

Still, Matthews has not been pulled into the Democrats’ impeachment probe, according to an administration official.

Lindsey Graham on impeachment: I think this is a bunch of crap in the House. I let Mueller do his job because I trusted him. I don't trust Adam Schiff to be getting to the truth.

Ok then. :-)

(oplettende lezertjes weten dat Mueller niet tot de hele waarheid kwam omdat hij konstant en categorisch werd gedwarsboomd door het WH. Zie Roger Stone trial. Zie het Mueller rapport en zijn getuigensi later. Nu Schiff en de Demcoraten laten zien dat dwarsbomen niet langer wkert, en zelfs tegenwerkt, is er lichte paniek waar te nemen bij de repugnicunts.
Lees bijvoorbeeld de transcripts van de interviews, en haal daar de relevante vragen die de onschuld van trump bewijzen uit. (hint: die vragen zijn niet gesteld, want het antwoord zou erger zijn dan de vraag)

Volgend week start het cicrus!

Schiff writes to Nunes requesting the GOP list of witnesses for next wk's hrngs. Notes that resolution ok'd last wk gives minority until 11:20 am Saturday to ask for witnesses. Schiff says majority won't ask for all witnesses who came in for depositions.
GOP has until midday Saturday to announce its witness requests for next wk's impeachment hearings. But GOP tells me that roster is still being discussed
Dems remind GOP requests for witnesses must have a "detailed written justification of the relevance to the inquiry of the testimony of each requested witness." Majority can veto GOP witness requests

Al Kipone 7 november 2019 19:58

en ook nog even dit.....

Sr GOP Congressional source tells Fox that they are “worried” about the possibility of a gov't shutdown this month citing no movement on the border wall. Source also expressed concern about how impeachment could impact the President and upend effort to fund gov't on interim basis

When asked if impeachment could affect adversely affect the President’s mood when it came to agreeing to government funding, sr Congressional GOP source replied “yes.” The government is funded through 11:59:59 pm et on November 21.

(zou op zich een grappige stunt zijn als we een herhaling krijgen van het debacle van vorig jaar :-) )

President Donald Trump must pay a $2 million judgment for improperly using his Trump Foundation charity to further his 2016 presidential campaign, a New York state judge ruled Thursday.
The order appears to bring to an end the New York attorney general's lawsuit against the president and three of his oldest children over the now-shuttered foundation, which the attorney general said had engaged in repeated wrongdoing.

“Our petition detailed a shocking pattern of illegality involving the Trump Foundation — including unlawful coordination with the Trump presidential campaign, repeated and willful self-dealing, and much more," then-Attorney General Barbara Underwood alleged in a statement late last year.

In her seven-page ruling, New York Supreme Court Justice Salliann Scarpulla wrote, "Mr. Trump’s fiduciary duty breaches included allowing his campaign to orchestrate the Fundraiser, allowing his campaign, instead of the Foundation, to direct distribution of the Funds, and using the Fundraiser and distribution of the Funds to further Mr. Trump’s political campaign."

Bolton is dus inderdaad niet verschenen op de hearing van het House Committee.

Wel verscheen er een statement namens zijn PAC (Political Action Committee).

Subject : my opening Statement

John Bolton PAC

(onleesbaar gemaakt) (waarschijnlijk een naam waaraan deze statement gericht is)

Here is a truth we all need to take seriously :

While America is preoccupied with events on Capitol Hill, Russia, China and Iran and North Korea are doing everything in their power to take us down.

This is a moment of opportunity for those that hate us. We're doing more to destabilize ourselves than they could ever accomplish in their wildest dreams.

Think about it.

Radicalized Democrats normalizing Socialism, Medicare-for-all, anti-Israel presidential candidates and open-borders.

America is distracted. Our enemies are not.

They are advancing dangerous agendas that directly challenge American power and our global leadership.

What do you think (onleesbaar, doorgestreept) ?

Recently I launched the National Securities Attitudes Survey.

It's also a short questionnaire for conservative voters likely to vote in the 2020 election.

I want to know where you stand on the most dangerous threats facing the United States. I'd like to personally invite you to participate. You can complete the survey in under a minute.
