Trump: We're trying to find out' who the whistleblower is."

How absurd. The real investigation occurs in a black box controlled by the IC IG who has seen nothing and knows nothing first hand.

The IG doesn’t have first hand knowledge? How do you figure?

Well, we cant really tell what he has. That is the nature of a black box.
That is not the nature of our judicial system, however.

Sure it is. A suspect is not privy to the evidence against them until their case goes to trial

The IG also doesn’t conduct a trial… He merely determines in the evidence is urgent and credible… that’s it

The DOJ is here to investigate. It currently has an investigation to find the origins of the Russian investigations. That is its job and what it should be doing.
It is not the job of the DOJ to defend Trump from impeachment.

Though I do concede that the current outrage over contacting foreign governments may indeed be for the purpose of chilling the DOJ investigation into the origins of the Russian investigation. Kind of like obstruction of justice, isn’t it?

I would argue that the DOJ, and especially Barr, are compromised in the Ukrainian matter because Barr was involved in the conversations with the Ukrainian government and the calls in question. Yet, when the WB complaint was taken to the DOJ he did not remove himself from the equation but ruled that the complaint did not need to go to congress.

As far as investigating the investigation, for what purpose does it honestly serve? Is it to blame someone else for the DNC hack? Trump is already free and clear by the ruling of the DOJ that he cannot be charged with any crime, so what purpose does this serve other than to overrule previous findings from the Intelligence Community that Russia hacked the DNC? All that would do is give Russia the right to request a lifting of sanctions, yes?

First, there is no “compromise” in being discussed in that conversation. He has stated that Guiliani didn’t even talk to him about this. Being mentioned in a conversation is not the same as being involved in a conversation.
Second, the DOJ OLC career professionals are the ones who made the decision about the whistle blower report. You have no evidence or reason to believe that Barr personally had anything to do with it.
The purpose of the investigation into the origins of the Russian investigation is to find out the truth about what happened and why it happened. An investigation that is making some very very nervous.

what do you think would happen if Trump was the whistle blower using hearsay to pull their finger?

[Weedhopper]

Like the IG saying Comey should of been locked up for his actions and the DOJ decided other wise?

Where did the IG say that?

[Weedhopper]

In front of Congress

Can you link to something ? I would be very surprised to hear an IG say someone should be locked up… referred to the DOJ, sure

[Cratic3947]

We all know it’s a dem hack and CIA swamper… Hiding behind the law!

Did he check the box saying he had first hand info or not?

DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz testified before congress today on matters relating to the overall IG office. However, with Democrat majority chairs refusing to call Horowitz for testimony …

He referred them to the DOJ, didn’t call for them to be locked up…

So you support those dirty cops, sick why?

@NebraskaFootball

Rid the party of Trump and his acolytes, elect conservatives who promote conservatism and we can talk. But it will take a long time for this stench to be removed from the party.

But what would it take for you to change your mind?? Even a little bit??

I mean he can’t be ALL bad, can he??

@Weedhopper

If the evidence is so weak that Trump’s DOJ can’t get an indictment then that’s what justice is all about… Alternatively, perhaps the Trump DOJ is just incompetent…

[ohknow35]

@NebraskaFootball

I don’t have to prove anything. It has already been proven. The Mueller report, the SDNY filings with the Cohen plea, etc. The evidence is already there. I’ve read it all and it is as clear as day. Add to that what Trump has already admitted to with regards to his call with Zelensky and he deserves nothing shy of impeachment. He really deserves prison, but we don’t send powerful politicians to prison that have reached his stature.

Okay.

Was the complaint deemed credible upon review or not?

[Weedhopper]

So you think that’s it?

I’ll remind you there is other investigations into those Obama scandals still going on!
