Shep Smith’s ethics are admirable but good luck finding any network that would require ethics to be part of a journalistic job description.

This is Gulen… the same guy that people think that Flynn was trying to get out of the country when he was secretly working for turkey while serving as National Security Advisor.

Rudy straight up works for Turkey while being the president’s personal lawyer.

Yep.

I don’t know if it is sinking in with Trump supporters how bad this is for the President yet… but it should.

It’s all repellent, and it’s been so for years. But nothing has stopped Trump so far. And his dark, broken cult clings to him tighter every day.

Anyone have a guess as to when Rudy will be arrested? I predict it’ll be in less than a month.

Someone else arrested. This guy turned himself in, so he might be cooperating?

This is one of Rudy’s associate that was arrested this morning.

So happy that this is another “Florida Man”

Somehow its supposed to mean something that Sondland checked with Trump. Of course he did. Some other guy tells him that Trump is wanting Ukrainian corruption investigated for political reasons. I assume he didn’t agree that this should be done. How the heck is he supposed to find out if this is true? He’s going to contact the WH and ask them if they are pushing an investigation for political purposes.
How else is he going to check this out?
And yet the fake media pretends this is a real finding.

Trump’s supporters have pointed to Sondland’s “no quid pro quo” IM as an independent voice proving Trump did nothing wrong.

If Sondland testifies that Trump dictated the “no quid pro quo” IM, that’s another Trump defense down the drain. So yes, it means something.

It’s big, but its actually very simple. Two Russians with criminal intent in the Ukraine hire Giuliani and start giving (illegal) donations to a flock of Republican politicians. Trump then gives Giuliani permission to take over US foreign policy in the Ukraine pushing all the professionals to the side.

When was it that Lindsey Graham turned into a complete Trump bootlicker? 2017?

Except the fact that he had to ask Trump if there was a quid pro quo signifies that he did not know of the existence of one…otherwise he wouldn’t have had to ask Trump if he knew there was.

Demon · 2019-10-16T21:01:29.040Z

Or, it could mean that he was letting Trump know there were suspicions and Trump told him what to say.

How do you know what Sundland asked Trump? All I’ve seen about this are leaks that Sondland and Trump conferred and Trump told him to reply the there was no quid pro quo.

If you have “facts”, what is your source e?

Additionally, we learn today of Sondland conducting State Department business on an unsecured personal phone.

I would expect Hillary-level denunciations, but I’m not seeing any.

I wonder why that is?

DougBH · 2019-10-16T21:13:10.508Z

What office is Sondland running for? Feel free to denounce him…actually you just did. Nobody gains anything by denouncing Sondland on that.

The “fact” involved is the report that his testimony was that he got the information from Trump, of course, and that he had no personal knowledge of whether it was true or not. Its the “fact” that was reported in the papers.
How the heck would Trump have just happened to call him up and say “you know, I don’t have a quid pro quo involved in that Ukraine thing- have a nice day”. Of course he called the WH.

Conclusion you made up a “fact” about Sondland asking Trump what was going on. I could make up my own “fact” in which Sondland says to Trump, “We’re up the creek big guy… what do you want me to say?” But let’s stick to hat’s known

Sondland was an Ambassador representing the Untied States. As surprising as that might seem to some people, such a role comes with responsibilities. Your unwillingness to be concerned about his lack of concern for security shows what utter hypocrisy lies at the heart of all the criticism of Hillary Clinton’s security lapses.

I’m not his boss. Its not my job to be concerned about how he handles his job. Its idiotic to think I would be concerned about it.

This is how people shed themselves of their responsibility for the people they put in power.

At least it’s a tacit admission that something is wrong, which is an improvement.
