Whaa...? They hid the call transcript in a highly secure server, not for national security reasons? Someone stop the presses!! https://www.wsj.com/articles/white-...eak-could-be-politically-damaging-11573942481 White House Official Feared Trump Transcript Leak Could Be Politically Damaging Timothy Morrison asked lawyers if transcript of Zelensky call should be closely guarded, said it was mistakenly put on secure server WASHINGTON—A White House official sought to restrict access to a rough transcript of a July call between President Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart because the official feared that a leak of the conversation could be politically damaging, according to the official’s testimony to House impeachment investigators. Timothy Morrison, who until recently served as a senior national-security official in the Trump administration, said he approached White House lawyers after the call ended to ask whether the rough transcript should...

Mr. Morrison did not believe anything improper occurred on the July 25 call. (p. 60) 2. Mr. Morrison testified that the memorandum of conversation (a phrase used to describe the call transcript) of the July 25 call was complete and accurate. (p. 60) 3. Mr. Morrison, who listened to the July 25 call, testified that he was not concerned about the substance of what was discussed on the call – only that the transcript might leak. (p. 46-47) 4. Mr. Morrison was told by National Security Council lawyer John Eisenberg that the July 25 call record mistakenly ended up on the highly classified system, debunking the Democrats’ allegations of an attempted “cover up.” 5. Mr. Morrison repeatedly testified that he purposefully kept Lt. Col. Vindman out of the loop on this matter because he had concerns about Vindman’s judgment, which were also raised to him by Fiona Hill and others. 6. Mr. Morrison testified that, as the final clearing authority for any edits made to the 7/25 call package, he accepted all of Lt. Col. Vindman’s proposed edits. (p. 61-62) 7. Mr. Morrison testified that he does not believe Burisma came up on the call or that anyone suggested edits to the mem-con to include the word Burisma. (p. 64) 8. Mr. Morrison testified that Lt. Col. Vindman relayed two concerns to him about the July 25 call: that the call did not get into the subject matter they had hoped, and the fidelity of the translation. (p. 72-73) 9. Mr. Morrison testified that Lt. Col. Vindman never reported to Morrison any of the “light queries” that he received from Ukrainian officials in August regarding the hold on aid. (p. 93) 10. Mr. Morrison confirmed that President Trump generally does not like foreign aid generally, and specifically held concerns that corruption in Ukraine may cause U.S. aid to be “misused.” This should end the Democrat impeachment proceedings. There is no crime. There was no crime. And Democrats continue to lie to the American people about their secret sham investigation! Democrats will pay for this.
https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/17/in-trump-nixon-impeachment-comparison-pelosi-talks-resignation.html Pelosi says Trump’s actions are worse than Richard Nixon’s and suggests he should resign In a CBS interview broadcast on Sunday, U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi alluded to Nixon’s resignation after the Watergate scandal. Pelosi, the top Democrat in Congress, told reporters last week that Trump’s pressure on Ukraine to investigate one of his potential opponents in the 2020 election “makes what Nixon did look almost small.” Nixon is the only U.S. president who has resigned from office. U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is amplifying her unfavorable comparison of President Donald Trump to fellow Republican Richard Nixon, saying that disgraced president at least cared enough about the country to leave office before his impeachment. The top Democrat in Congress told reporters last week that Trump’s pressure on Ukraine to investigate one of his potential opponents in the 2020 election “makes what Nixon did look almost small.” In a CBS interview broadcast on Sunday, she alluded to Nixon’s resignation after the Watergate scandal involving a break-in at Democratic Party headquarters and the subsequent cover-up. “I mean, what the president did was so much worse than even what Richard Nixon did, that at some point Richard Nixon cared about the country enough to recognize that this could not continue,” Pelosi said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” Nixon, whose name has become synonymous with scandal and ignominy for many Americans, resigned in 1974 after the House Judiciary Committee approved articles of impeachment against him but before the full House voted on the issue, and he was not impeached. He is the only U.S. president who has resigned from office. Pelosi for months resisted calls from her more liberal Democratic lawmakers to initiate impeachment proceedings, but said Trump’s call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy compelled her to open the inquiry against the president. Since launching the proceedings on Sept. 24, Pelosi has not been in the room as the House Intelligence Committee held public hearings on Trump’s impeachment. However, her voice is loud and clear on the outside, where she drives messaging in a nuanced but sharp manner. Her Nixon comparison came amid the trial of longtime Trump ally Roger Stone, a self-proclaimed “dirty trickster” who worked for Nixon’s re-election campaign and has Nixon’s face tattooed on his back. Stone was convicted on Friday of lying to Congress, obstruction and witness tampering during the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election. Trump and his supporters have attacked the impeachment probe as politically motivated. Trump says his call with Zelenskiy was “perfect” while Republican lawmakers criticize the impeachment process as unfair. “Do you have any evidence at all that the president did anything criminal or illegal? And the answer is no,” Republican U.S. Representative Chris Stewart said on ABC’s “This Week.” The president has “every opportunity to present his case,” Pelosi told CBS, including coming before the intelligence panel. “If the president has information that demonstrates his innocence in all of this, which we haven’t seen,” she said. “If he has information that is exculpatory -that means ex, taking away, culpable, blame -then we look forward to seeing it.” She accused Trump of bribery last week in having his aides dangle a White House meeting, then $400 million in suspended U.S. security assistance, if Zelenskiy announced an investigation into a Democratic 2020 political rival, former Vice President Joe Biden. Bribery is one of three articles of impeachment in the U.S. Constitution. In the CBS interview, taped on Friday, the House speaker called Trump an “imposter” whose insecurity drove his real-time Twitter attack on former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch as she testified in the impeachment inquiry. “Everywhere Marie Yovanovitch went turned bad,” Trump said on Friday as she testified, an extraordinary moment that Democrats said amounted to witness intimidation. Republicans at the hearing expressed support for Yovanovitch’s public service and some later openly criticized Trump’s actions. “I find the president’s tweet unfortunate,” Representative Mike Turner, a Republican on the intelligence panel, said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “He made a mistake,” Pelosi told CBS. “He knows her strength. And he was trying to undermine it.”
Congressman Jeff Van Drew said, "Our Founding Fathers had vigorous debates of whether they would even allow impeachment in the Constitution. You don’t disenfranchise voters.....millions upon millions of voters. Voters choose their leaders in America."
once again, conservatives, just like evangelicals, pick and choose what part of the constitution, or the bible, they'd like to follow. Let's ditch the 2nd, and the electoral college while at it. After all, I'm sure there was debate about those among the founding fathers.
uhhhhh.....Congressman Jeff Van Drew is a demorat! Representative (D-NJ 2nd District) since 2019 Nice canned response.
Go tell the Democrat Congressman that. Great evidence that you two are regurgitating parrots that are incapable of critical reasoning.
