Kinda hard to believe when his own people are running from the sinking ship he created.
Don't be so hasty. The Schiff Show under way is a farce, and whatever CNN tells you, you can guarantee is overblown, and probably wrong. Already there are reports his testimony was third or fouth hand, and not direct.
Irregardless of the media source, transcripts of the testimonies are available on-line.
Well, that was quite the spin.
Probably right on the first count. Clinton probably "mishandled" classified information. but also, probably not with malicious intent, like "i'm going to purposely mishandle this so that our adversaries will get hold of it".
Yeah, but in honour of the season, she continues to rise from the dead.
I don't fault her for commenting as a civilian. You and I are commenting as civilians. Only difference is she's got a larger following on Twitter so what she says gets amplified, but she's not shouting any louder than you or I.
Totally separate question, and yeah of course. But be it Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump or anyone famous, the deeper problem is not what they're saying, but who's listening to it.
Ok, now that rhetoric is crazy. Does a DA interview witnesses and put together his case in a public gallery where the peanut gallery gets to watch and critique (and other witnesses also get to see everything everyone else is saying, contaminating their story)? No. This is the gathering of evidence, not the trial. There is absolutely no reason for that to be public. Wait for the impeachment trial before you start complaining about transparency.
Because the Republicans have always turned public forums into a gong show attempting to get those 10 second sound bites that the deplorables eat up like gummy bears.
The only false rhetoric to be mindful of here CT is when a "leader" of a country tells the populace that anything you hear
The transcript of the call with the Ukrainian president was released for everyone to see. That was what the Democrats based their impeachment on. It was totally public. All the rest of the information they are bringing forward behind closed doors is Russiagate 2.0. I am not saying that Schiff didn’t legally have a right to do it. But morally it turns into an impeachment searching for a crime. I am actually hoping that it makes it to the Senate so that the Republicans can bring all their witnesses forward to testify in public.
My understanding is that the whistleblower's report is what they based the impeachment on. The call transcript is something secondary that they found to (in their opinion) corroborate it, and that they could reasonably release to the public, to attempt to satisfy demand for information without compromising the investigation.
So it was ok the Republicans had closed door sessions when investigating Benghazi but now protest the same closed door session for the Impeachment Investigation?
Clearly we're waaaaay past any hypocrisy arguments. I've asked several times why those that support 45 so vehemently ignore the mounting evidence and only attack those willing to come-forward. I just do not understand the grip he has cuz it's so obvious to me that he's using his seat as a simple cash-grab. His followers are so deeply ego-invested that they're unable/unwilling to look objectively.
