Citing a “betrayal of our national security”, Nancy Pelosi goes all-in on impeachment

Things appear to be taking a decisive turn in Washington. With evidence mounting that Donald Trump had attempted to coerce the President of Ukraine into assisting with the swiftboating of Joe Biden, and news breaking that the intelligence community whistleblower who first brought the charges to the attention of the IGIC had reached out to request a meeting with members of the House Intelligence Committee, things have really begun to unfold rapidly. By the end of the day, not only had another 62 Democrats in the House of Representatives announced their support for a formal impeachment inquiry, but every member of the Senate — Democrat and Republican alike — had voted to pass a resolution calling for the whistleblower complaint to be transmitted to the House and Senate Intelligence Committees. And, not just that, but Republican Senator Richard Burr of North Carolina joined with Democratic Senator Mark Warner of Virginia to formally request that the whistleblower appear before the Senate Intel Committee, letting it be known that they intend to pursue the inquiry in a bipartisan fashion, which is something that we haven’t seen a lot of in the Trump era… Could this mean that we might see some Republicans joining Mitt Romney, who, a few days ago, publicly said that he found the allegations against Trump “troubling in the extreme“? I’m not going to get my hopes up, but it certainly feels like Trump, for the first time in a long while, might be feeling his Republican support slipping. I guess time will tell.

Oh, and then there’s the really big news of the day… Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, as you can see in this video, finally got comfortable with saying the “I” word publicly, announcing to the world that the House of Representatives had officially launched an impeachment inquiry into the President of the United States, referring to his most recent actions as a “betrayal of our national security”. [Apparently it’s a bad thing to block Congressionally-approved aid to a foreign country — aid which had been allocated in the interest of our national security — in order to advance one’s own political objectives. Who would have thought?]

[Over 200 Democrats in Congress now support this impeachment inquiry into President Trump. This includes every Democratic Representative from the state of Michigan.]

Donald Trump, the perpetual victim, has responded by tweeting “PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT!” in all caps. He also promised to release what he referred to as a “transcript” of a call he’d had with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelensky, which, given this administration’s track record when it comes to telling the truth, I expect will be incomplete at best.

Here are just a few things to keep in mind tomorrow, assuming Trump stays true to his word and releases something. First, according to the whistleblower’s complaint, it would appear as though there were several instances, and not just a single call, that prompted the complaint that the IGIC found to be “credible” and “urgent,” so the transcript of a single call likely won’t tell us much. Second, as other’s have pointed out, Nixon also offered written transcripts when it was discovered that he’d surreptitiously been taking his conversations in the Oval Office, but, as we’d later come to discover, those transcripts didn’t reflect what was actually said in context, so we should acknowledge that there’s precedent for deceit when it comes to such things. Third, the administration is legally obligated to release the whistleblower’s complaint to Congress, and we shouldn’t accept a transcript in it’s place. And, fourth, the transcript, assuming it’s legitimate, does not need to demonstrate that Trump threatened to withhold foreign aid until such time that the Ukraine President agreed to investigate Biden. It is an impeachable act for the President to ask a world leader to open an investigation into an political opponent, regardless of whether or not there’s a quid pro quo involved. [By the way, if Trump really thought a crime was committed, he would have taken this to the FBI to investigate instead of the Ukrainians.]

So, why is Trump offering a transcript? Well, my guess, having lived through “the Barr memo“, is that he wants to establish a false narrative before the details of the whistleblower’s complaint are made public. So, whatever it says, I’d take it with a grain of salt, and wait for few days before announcing that this whole thing amounted to nothing… If that was really the case, Trump’s appointed IGIC, Michael Atkinson, wouldn’t have determined the whistleblower complaint to be both “credible” and “urgent”, and Trump’s acting DNI, Joseph Maguire, would have done his duty, followed the law, and taken the complaint to the members of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees. But he didn’t do that. Instead, he took the complaint to William Barr, who continues to hide it from view. So, yes, I think it’s safe to assume there’s more to it than just a simple, innocuous call between Trump and Zelensky.

One last thing. I really like this idea of Dan Pfeiffer’s to draft either Sally Yates or Preet Bharara to be the point person on this as we move forward. We need someone who can make the case 24/7, reminding the American people why it’s absolutely necessary for us to prosecute the President and defend the rule of law.

OK, I know I said that was the last thing I was going to say on the matter, but it’s probably also worth noting that the President’s private attorney, Rudy Giuliani, just said publicly that he only initiated conversation with the Ukrainians on the subject of Joe Biden after being instructed to do so by the State Department, meaning that this whole initiative was being directed by the federal government. [Who’s going to be called to testify first, Mike Pompeo or Rudy Giuliani?]

Oh, and while we’re talking about Giuliani quotes, check out this one from this past May’s New York Times, in which he does a pretty good job of articulating the crime for federal prosecutors. [God, I can’t wait for him to testify.]

    What’s most important is that the public is brought along through the entire process. The Dems need a majority of Americans to be on board with this. It’s really important that people understand why each and every action is taken.

    Trump has changed the reason he’s giving for why he held up aid to Ukraine.

    I don’t see how EOS and HW could believe Trump’s statements and actions are well planned and thought through. When he changes from one explanation to another, how could that be a good strategy or indicative of clear thinking?

    His statements have forced scrutiny on the Biden/Ukaraine dealings, and the China business transactions, which will result in criminal charges for at least Biden’s son, if not additional Obama administration officials.

    You have a point, HW. I suppose there could legitimately be multiple reasons for withholding the aid initially. Still, it doesn’t come across well if Trump seems to be offering differing justifications at different times. It would make more sense if he mentioned both reasons each time he talks about it. To me, it suggests he is just winging it. That’s the way it comes across.

    If there are in fact some 50,000 sealed indictments around the country right now what does that represent? Has there ever been anything like that in history? Housecleaning comes before the party starts, correct? If your house is alllll kinds of fucked up it’s going to take time and effort to get ready (compromised politicians, judges, agency heads, spies, etc.) If you are putting on the biggest bash in the history of the universe that takes a good deal of planning and execution to pull off.

    Think of the enormity of removing the corrupt establishment with all of their wealth and power. It’s been planned for many years. I’m not worried about time. I have plenty of popcorn to enjoy the entire show I’m sure.

    I’m confident Trump isn’t in the know regardless. I’d say none of the individuals we hear speaking on behalf of the administration are.

    Addressing Lynne there in case that was unclear. Usually I just expect it will be obvious who I am referring to but a lot of times some derp comes on and is like “Duzhennybadi no wut HW izh tokkeen abowt?”

    So another false story Bark and the Baynardites got wrong. Your record is abysmal. Do a little self-reflection and go back to try to count every single lie you attached to. A lot of reflection actually because that is a mountain of bullshit YOU championed.

    As for Republicans turning on Trump, I see that 11 voted against him on the border wall today.

    From ABC NEWS:

    Senate passes measure blocking Pres. Trump from using emergency powers to raid budget for military construction projects to pay for his proposed border fence.

    11 Republicans voted to rebuke the president, though the measure is doomed to be vetoed.

    iRob, don’t forget I said Epstein would go down long before he was arrested also. Fairly powerful individual I would think with all those famous and powerful guests. If I am correct about it being a blackmail scheme and the powerful are indeed compromised then his power increases exponentially. Don’t forget either that DJT told us back in 2015 or whenever that Bill Clinton has “…a lot of problems with the Island…”

    I suppose sometimes it is hard to stop those deep state assassins. You have to put him in prison somewhere so you put him in a high security prison. If the warden is compromised then there might be a problem with the guards and cameras and someone might walk right into his cell and crush his throat. Then there will be people like you insinuating the you allowed it.

    Aloha FF, I’ve been spending my time with the real resistance, walking a picket line. I support Tulsi’s position on impeachment, ie. investigate and if there is evidence of crimes, then impeach. Much of the Democratic Leadership has now decided to pursue the impeachment strategy. I don’t know what was said between Trump and Zelensky. I believe that Trump is a rather open violator of the law–but so is all the plutocratic elite. It seems obvious that Trump’s attempt to expose a plutocratic rivals corruption for political gain, has pissed off the Establishment Democrats, thus we have impeachable actions. Notice how Pelosi wants to limit impeachment just to the Ukraine business. His open violations of the Emoluments Clause and his violation of the War Powers Act, and his unilateral abrogations of the Paris Accords, the INF Treaty and the JCPA with Iran are far more serious and should matter more—but we live in a world where a reality TV star is President of the US and a comedian is President of Ukraine.

    Aloha, My thoughts on the “50,000” sealed indictments–immigration and deportation proceedings. Nothing to do with HW’s and Q fantasies.

    If it is what HW want’s to believe, then our President has been allowing a massive criminal conspiracy to continue for over two years–that equals complicity and grounds for impeachment I would think.

    Trump didn’t make the indictments himself obviously. Eat some blueberries or something. Your brain needs a boost.

    Something of this magnitude has to be done with precision at the right time. If the rats truly know the end is imminent they will scatter.

    If the indictments are for illegal immigrants why would they need to hold them back? I think you would see some action on it if that was the case.

    Clinton is not able to run in more ways than one. She could graciously accept a never-before-seen ‘double bill’ candidacy as Vice President to Warren though and acting as sort of a Dick Cheney scheming in the background. Just a thought.

    You have to feel sorry for people a little bit. This has all been a real shock to their systems. Most liberals had a very rosie view of how politics works. Many are suffering from a sort of shock.
