Pence would get crushed in 2020. 1 minute ago, sho said: I see the House Intelligence Committee is subpoenaing Giuliani. Is he forced to talk or provide papers? Would that fall under attorney/client privilege? Any lawyers that can break down what Giuliani is obligated to provide to this committee? Since he isn't officially serving as Trump's lawyer in this capacity, privilege doesn't apply. 3 Link to comment

That’s what I had heard about others and it seems like nothing happens. What us interesting is that he has said “I will not take all the heat for this” So, who is he going to blame this on?

knapplc Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 The Inspector General of the Intelligence Community issues a statement basically skewering all of the nonsense proffered by Trump's stooges over the weekend. It would appear there is a LOT more to this whistleblower complaint than Trump is letting on (surprise, surprise) and that the whistleblower appears to have done their homework very, very well. 2 Link to comment
knapplc Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 Maybe we need a Bill Barr impeachment thread, too. Sheesh. Anyone who's interested in the rule of law and having a government based on justice should be horrified at this. 1 Link to comment

If he chooses to resign, great - we'll lock him up on the criminal offenses when he gets on that fricking golden escalator in NYC. If he chooses to stay, great, we'll take him out in handcuffs and straight to jail. The good guys have the goods, there's no reason we should give him any gifts. 4 Link to comment
