Republicans Seek to Swamp Democratic Offices With Anti-Impeachment Calls
The Republican National Committee paid to generate thousands of calls to the congressional offices of nearly three dozen House Democrats in recent weeks, an effort that was aimed at both shaping opinion around the impeachment inquiry and tying up the phone lines of the elected officials,” The New York Times reportedMonday, citing “two people briefed on the effort.”
The calls were part of a broader effort by Republicans to influence public opinion around the investigation into President Trump. The Trump campaign and the Republican committee have taken the lead on political messaging defending Mr. Trump at a moment of political vulnerability, using television and digital ads, as well as the phone calls,” the newspaper noted. “The fact that the calls to congressional offices, estimated to number 11,000, were partly intended to jam the phone lines of House Democrats — potentially thwarting access to government offices — was described at a recent dinner of more than a dozen Republican aides, advisers and elected officials, known as the ‘Off the Record’ dinner.”

:floor:So you seriously think that I had a hidden agenda when I started this obvious Trump bashing thread?

No, it was just the typical Progressive knee jerk response amplified by the FACT that you woke up with Donald Trump as your President. We had to endure the MSM fawning over the "community organizer" Muslim for eight years and we did not use the instruments of our republic to harass him, even though Obama used the IRS to harass conservative groups.

Now that the whiny infantile crazies are in control of the House here we are.

a recap:

Trump is a genius but you can't see his grades

Trump is healthy but you can't see his medical report

Trump is rich but you can't see his tax returns

Trump is innocent but you can't see the unedited transcript

Trump is honest but you can't question the White House lawyers.

- Jeff Tiedrich

Trump did a very bad thing with Ukraine but you can't see the persons who say he did the very bad thing. And you can't be part of the partisan process to try and reverse a legitimate Presidential election.

Whistleblower identities are legally protected, why this has to be repeatedly emphasized is just willful ignorance on your part. Also, read the Constitution, impeachment is in there. Holding a crooked president accountable is only “reversing an election” in the bubble.

Trump himself essentially confessed on the phone transcript he released.

We didn't just wake up with Trumpism. That pathogen has been around a while lying dormant.

While Pompeo told ABC News last month that McKinley never raised the idea of issuing a statement of support for Yovonovitch, McKinley directly contradicted that statement while under oath, telling lawmakers he mentioned it on three separate occasions.
Specifically, McKinley who testified behind closed doors on October 16, said that he raised the Yovanovitch matter with Pompeo three times and proposed releasing a statement of support for the former diplomat, who was abruptly recalled from her post, but did not receive a response from the secretary of state, including when he told Pompeo he was leaving the department.

Why lie?
Good question.

I stand by my numbers. Clearly a third of Walton County residents, isn't a majority, but it is significant. I see no reason to go north of Chowctawhatchee, unless I'm visiting my Trump hating friends BTW. Also it's not difficult to avoid the the Trumpers in my own midst, unless of course I want to mess with their heads. The very few Trumpers I associate with are there for entertainment purposes. You should have seen this board a few years ago. There are a LOT of residents who agree with our position, and they used to post regularly. Some of them just don't like the rancor, and they've moved on to other things, or found other venues to express themselves.

This is such a sad and pathetic post. So very shallow. My best to your "friends" North of the bay.

US Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland amended his previous closed-door testimony with House impeachment investigators to say that he told a top Ukrainian political aide that the release of US security aid was conditioned on Ukraine publicly announcing an investigation that would help President Donald Trump politically.

'It kept getting more insidious': What Sondland and Volker told Trump impeachment investigators
Volker told Giuliani he didn’t believe Joe Biden had done anything improper.
Volker dismissed the idea that Joe Biden pushed Ukraine’s government to oust a prosecutor to benefit his son Hunter, an allegation that has been fueling much of the conservative pushback against the impeachment process.

And Volker said he tried to convince Giuliani to let that notion go at breakfast on July 19.

“He was repeating all of the things that were in the media that we talked about earlier, you know, firing the prosecutor general and his son being on the company and all that,” Volker said. “And I said to Rudy in that breakfast the first time we sat down to talk that it is simply not credible to me that Joe Biden would be influenced in his duties as vice president by money or things for his son or anything like that. I’ve known him a long time. He’s a person of integrity, and that’s not credible."

Volker says that at the time, he wasn’t equating Burisma with Biden.
Volker’s testimony indicates that there were so many different events happening that he didn’t always make the links that can seem obvious in retrospect.
For instance, he says he was fine with the idea that Ukraine’s government would release a statement that mentions the gas company Burisma and the 2016 election as matters they would investigate as part of an anti-corruption effort, and that he even helped propose language.

But, although he admits he knew that Hunter Biden was on the board of Burisma, he didn’t quite think through the implications. Those implications later became clear when the White House released a transcript of a July 25 call in which Trump urged Zelensky to investigate the Bidens.

“In my mind, those are three separate things,” Volker explained to lawmakers. “There is Bidens; there is Burisma as a company, which has a long history; and there is 2016 elections.

“And part of what I was doing was making sure and why I wanted to make sure I was in this conversation that we are not getting the Ukrainians into a position about talking about anything other than their own citizens, their own company, or whether their own citizens had done anything in 2016.”
