(21,635 posts)There's no way the media would have glibly assumed that he or she meant 'fire'.
They'd be screaming: " (blank) threatened ambassador's life!"
"Is the U.S. descending into third-world-style lawlessness!? This, and sports with Stu, at six."

(11,309 posts)Trump removed this person (quite legally) some 13 months later.
Repeating nonsense time and time again .. does NOT make it any more true .. or plausible.

(62,444 posts)Parnas and Bondy have given hours of televised interviews. Neither one of them happened to mention, Oh, by the way, Trump ordered a murder that never happened.
Because Trump cant have someone killed unless they are in Ukraine?
Maybe they talked about it at Erics sixth birthday party. You were pretty convinced about that one too.
Parnas and Fruman, incidentally, werent the only ones there.

(8,231 posts)boss'. I really can't believe so many would jump to he is ordering HER DEATH from this.
EndlessWire
(6,531 posts)But, I think the way I do, which is that he is giving permission to assassinate her if necessary, because he very recently blithely ordered the assassination of another country's official, and it was done. Because of the callous way he talked about her when he didn't even know her name. And because something was definitely up, else, why were they talking about her? And, why did those who were in a position to know hustle her out of the country so quickly?
Also, I believe that he was in on the Kashoggi murder. And I remember that he bragged he could shoot someone on 5th Ave.
The government of Australia wouldn't let him invest there because he was mob-connected in Atlanta. And, he had a Russian mob guy living in his Tower after the mob guy got out of prison. Because he had a mob guy partying at Mar a Lago. And because he is apparently a lover of Kim, who is partial to killing his enemies himself.
Because I believe he raped a little girl, and he's capable of vile acts.

(42,703 posts)Parnas made it quite clear in his interview with Rachel that Trump's "get rid of her" command was directed specifically to his aide, Joe DeStefano. And that makes sense since DeStefano is the guy that carried out Trump's decision to fire Sally Yates, writing her a letter telling her Trump had fired her. So for Natasha Bertrand and Tribe to assume that Trump was talking to Parnas simply shows that they are shooting from the hip without actually knowing what Parnas said happened.
Parnas also made it clear in his interview that DeStefano responded to Trump by pushing back against firing Yovonovitch before Pompeo was confirmed as Secy of State. [Actually, Pompeo had been confirmed but hadn't yet been sworn in] Trump has the attention span of a gnat so the fact that Yovonovitch stayed in office for another 13 months isn't surprising. Nor is it surprising that DeStefano resigned the very same day that Yovonovitch was relieved of her position

If you surround the truth with a phalanx of lies and exaggerations, you can get people to dismiss the truth amid the noise.
"get rid of her" -- fire her
"I don't care"
"take her out" -- kill her if you have to.
And then someone somewhere was wondering who they should get to do it. Trump always requires layers of removal from his deeds. Finding the right way to do it could have taken that long.
C'mon. We all know what "take her out" means.

And, is there a reason for so much blank space after your content, requiring smartphone users to scroll for quite a bit? Or is that some tactical thing to make it appear there are no further replies?
