Everything tRump touches dies!

He wanted to be first to sneak over to the WH, with names. Traitors in the gop need to be exposed, after removal from office. Where does he find time to do his job, considering all the lawsuits he has going on?

charge?

And this isn't the only example. Dangling pardons is another. Was always disappointed Mueller didn't have a section on witness tampering because he complained bitterly that the only reason he wouldn't cite Trump on collusion was that nobody would talk and provide the hard evidence, including documents, phone logs, texts, etc.

Are we really going to surrender to the third-world tactics of a grandiose bully and his cult followers? Can he be deposed privately with just attorneys present, and the deposition made public immediately? This is deeply unsatisfying and immoral, not to mention unAmerican. This is the "not keeping" part of the quote about "a Republic, if you can keep it."

the Republicans would want to be a part of the process, which puts the whistle blower in jeopardy. I think it's a very good idea for them to do a deposition, but Repugs would make it difficult.

Officials, their numbers will protect them. The former Ukraine ambassador had the courage to walk in the front door defying Trump. Time for others to stand-up.

and moves to a "Trial" in the Senate, will Moscow Mitch be willing to protect witnesses? These patriot Americans are risking much.

We must first impeach, whenever Speaker Pelosi decides to do so. It is in Democrats and America's best interests for Congress to conduct the investigations at a pace that allows citizens to hear and digest. This transcends party and self interests. imo

in our country right now. Really? We’re compelled to basically hide a real American patriot from our own President for fear for his/her life. Until now, only the wildest fiction would make this imaginable.

Impeach and hold this MF and his henchmen accountable!

Germany allowed a racist madman to slither into power, after which he manipulated government to do his bidding. Someone, anyone, please convince me that we're better than that (right now I'm having my doubts).

the Syria thing — we aren’t/won’t be any better than Nazi Germany. We are being orchestrated by two diabolical mad men — tRump and Putin who both aim to rule the world.

tRump is no dummy despite what everyone thinks. He is following Hitler’s play book. He is also willingly compromised by Putin. However, in my view, he knows it, but thinks he can beat Putin in the end using our (his, in his mind) military and economic might — once he has established firm, unassailable control over all three branches of our government.

I’m convinced that is his plan. tRump is and always has been a gambler, taking enormous risks and getting away with them. This is his ultimate gambit. He hopes to rule the world — as did Hitler. It’s a mad man’s pursuit.

Republicans could claim they were hiding a witness from, say, President Obama? Because of fear of being killed? Just, damn it !

fingers crossed

Maybe Maria Yovanovitch has some texts and other evidence that is just as powerful.

That said our hopes always seem to get dashed one way or another.

With all he has done, Trump should have been removed from office and retired to Mar-a-Lago months ago. But he’s still sitting in the Oval Office, lying through his teeth and making one bad decision after another. The blood of many dead Kurds is now on his hands and those of his Republican sycophants. I shudder to think what he will do next that will cause chaos and destruction. I lost faith long ago that he would be removed. Our only hope is 2020 IF the Russians and Republicans do not steal that one too.

He needs to be in prison, hopefully before he dies.

added to the impeachment charges. The orange turd is a danger to the lives of whistle blowers. How repugs continue to back this thug I do not get?

The WB provided everything to the IG and considered it credible to pursue.

If the whistle blower doesn't testify, all we will hear is the turd screaming SEE, IT IS ALL A HOAX! Over and over and over... till many believe it.

The truth shouldn't hide. If we can't ensure the safety of our patriots we should go ahead and throw in the towel. We manage to do it daily in the criminal justice system.

You can be damn sure the republicans could manage the security situation.

There may be plenty of corroboration as well as new evidence that the testimony from original WB is no longer essential.

As someone said above, the parade of witnesses now coming forward may provide a "smoking artillery range", and Trump's witness intimidation of original WB will be just one more article of impeachment.

A G-man..although others claim, actually, it was many people...

Lots of people, mostly women, have stepped into the light to accuse tramp...

Why not the whistleblower ? The whistleblower job is protected

We need no further proof that we are dealing with a large criminal conspiracy that will murder to get what it wants. The Whistleblower is afraid of being “Epstiened”!

the idea of this plan and I love it! Perhaps Schiff and Pelosi have planned to gig Trumpy to set him off and ho-boy, it will!

Nice!

Pardons in one pocket, and threats of physical harm to witnesses in the other? And we fold like a cheap tent?
And a steadfast refusal to cooperate with subpoenas, the compliance of which can be tied up for years in the courts.


I don't really see any hope for justice in the US at this rate.

protect him better.
