Subject: RE: Deep StateOriginally posted by Porfirio Originally posted by Rogillio Vindman and Sondland serve at the pleasure of the President - evidently the President is not pleased with them. I also think it is clear Vindman was the source who leaked to the whistleblower. My guess is reassignment is the least of his worries. Senate is going to investigate the whistleblower who will likely drop dime on Vindman to cover his own arse. These are interesting "issues" to focus on. Trying not to sound sarcastic etc, but how does any of this justifiably detract from the POTUS' attempt to influence a foreign gov't to meddle in U.S. elections? I understand how we go here but how long can we tolerate this? (Rhetorical. ) So you're advocating that candidates with dirty hands are off limits? Trump asked Ukraine to investigate what happened around the investigation of Biden's son being shut down. He didn't ask for a specific outcome nor did he ask for favorable timing of any release of information so how is he asking for Ukraine to "meddle" in our election? Were Biden not running for President, anything coming out of a Ukraine investigation would be newsworthy, but only 1 column-inch on page 9 newsworthy. For as long as he's still running, it's elevated to page 1 newsworthy (ok...page 3 for the NYTimes & Washington Post...) This is true even if the "news" weren't coming out of Ukraine but rather is domestically sourced speculation. I suspect there will be a lot more dirty hands exposed during a second Trump term. |
