Hat me!

This is a great thread regarding Peloton.

Nunes: We won't hear "what actually happened" with the aid because Democrats won't release the testimony or call the OMB staffer to testify in public. OMB Staffer Testimony is Released: The Office of the White House Chief of Staff and the Associate Director of National Security (appointed by Trump) both directed the OMB to withhold aid to Ukraine at the direction of the President, but did not provide a reason why the aid should be withheld. The Associate Director also soon took control of the apportionment authority of the funds away from the OMB staffer. So two different Trump appointed positions would not clarify to the OMB why the aid was to being withheld and ultimately took authority of releasing the funds at the direction of the President. Both Trump appointees that provided the direction to OMB have refused to testify. Oh and two OMB staffers resigned over concerns about the hold on aid.

And that is the issue, you are the one that is moving the goalposts with limited levels of government and 'scale' of corruption. Are you fine with Enron 'scale' corruption?

Limiting government isn't going to get rid of corruption, its just going to move it someplace else.

Sorry, I thought that's what the topic of the thread was.

Pretty sure corruption is also not limited to government, there is plenty of corruption in the business world.

Is that the point? Is that why Trump shouldn't be held accountable for withholding foreign aid for an investigation into a political opponent?

Smaller government officials can also be corrupt. List of United States local officials convicted of federal corruption offenses

That's not true at all, people are corrupt at smaller levels of government too.

You have to take that into full context! Trump mentioned the Crowdstrike server AND the Biden's on the phone call with the President of Ukraine! Not to mention the Ukraine / Crowdstrike thing is nonsense! You can't tell me to look at things into context when you are ignoring the entire context of the situation.

I heard: Mulvaney: "Did he also mention to me in the past that the corruption related to the DNC server? Absolutely. No question about that. But thats it, that's why we held up the money." Did you hear something other than that?

The White House Chief of Staff confirmed that the aid was tied to the investigation and meeting. He's also the Director of the Office of Management and Budget and has oversight of the aid.

Now do offense!

AND ADD BRADLEY! right...?

That picture makes it look terrible.

Inconceivable!

This is why we can't have nice things.

A JUCO/Transfer NT might be needed whether he stays on the DL or not. Not convinced going into a season expecting a true freshman to deliver depth on any line is a good idea.
