Desperate Dems roll out the tin.

“I was concerned by the call,” Vindman said, according to his testimony obtained by The Associated Press. “I did not think it was proper to demand that a foreign government investigate a U.S. citizen, and I was worried about the implications for the U.S. government’s support of Ukraine.”

Yes, yes, the concerns… Again, he’s entitled to his opinion, as wrong as it might be. In my opinion, the people running the fake impeachment racket are enemy combatants staging a limp-wristed coup. It’s a testament to Trump’s patience that there is anyone left to hold these sham hearings.

Undermine what? The members of Congress are only slightly less stupid than the people who elected them; most could not even find Ukraine on a labeled map of Europe. Or, was the support thing referring to the deep state and their ties to the cabal trying to keep the lid on an on-going criminal investigation in Ukraine which likely involves US citizens and which Trump had ever right AND RESPONSIBILITY to urge along?

Thank you for your service.

The CIA v. The Donald

Ukraine! Ukraine! Ukraine! just doesn’t have the ring of Russia! Russia! Russia! Regardless, the CIA’s lawyer saw fit to interject herself.

Weeks before the whistleblower’s complaint became public, the CIA’s top lawyer made what she considered to be a criminal referral to the Justice Department about the whistleblower’s allegations that President Donald Trump abused his office in pressuring the Ukrainian president, U.S. officials familiar with the matter tell NBC News.

The move by the CIA’s general counsel, Trump appointee Courtney Simmons Elwood, meant she and other senior officials had concluded a potential crime had been committed, raising more questions about why the Justice Department later declined to open an investigation.

Maybe it’s because the domestic law enforcement (just the jurisdiction and all) didn’t find a crime??? And, this is from an NBC story, so it’s possible it’s all cleverly edited like a Florida 911 call. But, as-is, it’s double hearsay – reporting on a report about things that might have been heard… Impeach!

But, remember: Steve Bannon will now tell you that any conspiracy theory about “THE DEEP STATE” is totally nuts. No word on whether he would tell you that from Jeff Epstein’s house in Paris – where Bannon was a guest just last year. No deep state at all! It’s just the friend of a dead pedophile racketeer and foreign spy telling you to ignore what the fake news broadcasts about the Trumped (ah!) up allegations of a hysterical Congress contrived and based on the complaint of a leaking “asset” (and lawyer) (neither of whom are authorized by law to operate within the US) about the way the chief law enforcement officer and diplomat handled a criminal probe in a foreign country involving yet more usual suspects. Totally nuts…

Come to think of it … the obviously co-opted Judge Napolitano (sad, yeah) would say this is all very criminal. He may be right about the crime but wrong about the suspect.

An unnamed CIA agent, probably a sinecure paper-pusher if he even exists, is at the bottom (or somewhere) of the Ukraine! hoax.

The White House learned that a C.I.A. officer had lodged allegations against President Trump’s dealings with Ukraine even as the officer’s whistle-blower complaint was moving through a process meant to protect him against reprisals, people familiar with the matter said on Thursday.

The officer first shared information about potential abuse of power and a White House cover-up with the C.I.A.’s top lawyer through an anonymous process, some of the people said. The lawyer shared the officer’s concerns with White House and Justice Department officials, following policy. Around the same time, the officer separately filed the whistle-blower complaint.

I’ve known several CIA agents and other intel types. They generally come in two classes: the field guys who do the dirty work and the office guys who do the really dirty work. As silly and self-serving as this sounds, I’m interviewing Tom Ironsides about this and other matters. He’s already confirmed what others have told me. Maybe it’s time – past time – to abolish the CIA?

At any rate, this impeachment show may throw a curveball into the 2020 election that even I didn’t foresee. It may well be that this crazed process, successful or not, is what hands Trump his victory over Pocahontas. Who’d a thunk it?

Another prediction: the process moves forward; the House impeaches; the Senate acquites; Trump is reelected. Worst-case scenario (for Trump): Impeachment; CONVICTION; resignation; pardon; … reelection with a vengeance. (Yes, that can happen). It’s more likely that the show trial will expose even more dirt on Biden, the Clintons, and the rest, though I expect absolutely no repercussions for them either. In short, nothing will change.

Speaking of nothing… Anyone heard from “Q” lately? I was wondering what the tally for the sealed military indictments is up to now. Can’t recall if the growth was “natural” or geometric. It could be anywhere between 400,000 and 400 Centillion.

And, every day, 2033 inches closer and closer. Tick, tick, tick…
