'Donald Trump issued a direct order to halt disciplinary measures against a Navy Seal officer accused of war crimes in Iraq, the US defence secretary has revealed.

Mark Esper said the president gave him an instruction on Sunday for Navy Chief Petty Officer Edward Gallagher to retain his right to wear the Trident pin, the insignia of the elite Navy Seal unit, reversing a demotion by a navy disciplinary board.'

'The withholding of $391m of aid - and whether the move was used to pressure Ukrainian officials into launching an investigation into Mr Trump's political rival Joe Biden - has become the centrepiece of the impeachment investigation against the president.

Now an internal investigation by the White House's legal department has reportedly uncovered hundreds of documents that reveal the extent of the Trump administration's attempts to justify the delay of the financial support.

Among them, according to The Washington Post, is an August email between Donald Trump's chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) that shows him asking the department if there was a legal justification for the aid to be withheld.

The conversation came after the president’s now-infamous 25 July call with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky - during which Mr Trump said he would like Kiev to “do us a favour” regarding an investigation into Mr Biden and his son, Hunter.'

She's still strangely reassuring.

Adam Schiff: "As required under House Resolution 660, the Committees are now preparing a report summarizing the evidence we have found this far, which will be transmitted to the Judiciary Committee soon after Congress returns from the Thanksgiving recess."

Seems like good news but they will appeal. (Again)

This is grotesque. Just as well they don't bother with security clearance anymore.

'Internet trolls don’t troll. Not the professionals at least. Professional trolls don’t go on social media to antagonize liberals or belittle conservatives. They are not narrow minded, drunk or angry. They don’t lack basic English language skills. They certainly aren’t “somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds,” as the president once put it. Your stereotypical trolls do exist on social media, but the amateurs aren’t a threat to Western democracy.

Professional trolls, on the other hand, are the tip of the spear in the new digital, ideological battleground. To combat the threat they pose, we must first understand them — and take them seriously.'

Judge Jackson has an Orwellian footnote ...

'The House Judiciary Committee just announced a public impeachment hearing one week from this Wednesday, which will coincide with the impending release of a report containing findings of the House Intelligence Committee’s public hearings into President Trump’s bribery scheme to extract foreign campaign assistance from Ukraine.

For the first time, Trump’s lawyers will be invited to participate in that public impeachment hearing, which is being held by the committee which the sole group in charge of drafting articles of impeachment.

House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) didn’t specify which expert constitutional scholars would be called for the hearing entitled “The Impeachment Inquiry into President Donald J. Trump: Constitutional Grounds for Presidential Impeachment.”

So if Rudy wasn't Trump's client in Ukraine...as Trump just said...does that mean he doesn't have attorney client privilege?

I'm not sure Rudy has enough control of his mouth to make it work anyway.

Trump has mastered the art of drunk-tweeting, sober.

Interesting.

Interesting view.

There’s Just One Problem With Dems Fast-Tracking Impeachment
His name is Mitch McConnell.

OMG, have you heard the way he's starting to throw Rudy under the bus?? Saying "Rudy has other clients" when what Rudy has said is "The President is my ONLY client" when he was quizzed about a potential conflict of interest. And saying he had 'no idea' why Rudy went to Ukraine when he (Scrotus) was telling the '3 amigos' and diplomatic staff to "talk to Rudy, Rudy knows". Next he'll be saying "Rudy Giuliani? I hardly know him. I mean I think I've met him, but maybe not".

And so it begins......
Will Rudy flip? Will he stay loyal? Stay tuned to this station!

I don't mean to be offensive but how much time have you all wasted by just copy and pasting things about Donald Trump?

He's not going to be impeached and he will almost definitely be reelected.

Is it worth it?
