Dastardly enemy, and anyone who questions that, is probably a tool of Vladimir Putin and therefore, a traitor to our country. One current member of the House Intelligence Committee put it this way. Why were the russians in the white house . And i mean that seriously. They had just attacked our democracy. They are being there is exactly what we have all feared all along, is that donald trump would Say Something to them that is not really in line with u. S. Policy. They are not our friends. We should share nothing more than pleasantries, certainly not National Security secrets. Tucker congresswoman stephanie murphy, a democrat from florida, went a step further than this.

Congressman hunter has temporarily stepped down from his three Committee Assignments and congress under pressure from p chris Speaker Paul Ryan who l forcibly strip him of those assignments and thats a sign of how much political hot water hes in right now. Stepping down from the Armed Services panel had to be particularly hard for hunter and for a man who quit his job after 9 11 to serve as a combat marine. Also ps stands accused of misusing Campaign Money in some cases, intended for wounded warriors.

Faith in mueller. A lot of people. That is mueller saying, curious to see if democrats will accept this conclusion since that came from mueller. On obstruction, katy, i fully understand if there is a debate and dispute over this, because this was not muellers definitive word. This was bob barrs word. This is where theyll be a fight. Again, politically the toothpaste is already out of the tube as they say. Yeah. So, you know, this isnt getting resolved in this country until november 2020. No doubt about that. I think what we can take from this is that the investigations will continue in congress, but ultimately and who knows how long it will take to potentially see the rest of this report, or what we are able to see, but ultimately this is going to go to voters in 2020 and what the president s going to do, chuck, and the Steve Bannons made this clear and anybody who followed the 2016 campaign would assume as well, hes going to use this to his advantage and the way

Todays proceedings. I would like to recap my recognition of the timeline in which these events played out. I testified about all of this at length in my deposition. In july, i became aware of a hold being an obligation of the State Departments Foreign Military financing and dods usai funds. In a series of interagency meetings, i heard that the president had directed the office of of management and budget to hold the funds becausf his concerns about corruption in ukraine.
