NYT states the obvious: the whistleblower complaint itself is not applicable

Wow, a degree of sanity at NYT?!?! Shocking!

I'd love to believe this, but I'm going to need a credible news source.

Let's see Biden's and Obama's conversations with foreign leaders.

I don't give a shite! I want the goddamned whistleblower dragged before Congress and made to answer Jim Jordan. I want every Rep. Representative on that committee to pass their time to Jim Jordan, your next Speaker of The House!

Who filed the complaint? The intelligence officer or the IG? I understood the events to mean an intelligence officer went to the IG, who filed the complaint?

And isn’t the President the Intelligence in Chief?

“If the president is essentially withholding military aid at the same time he is trying to browbeat a foreign leader into doing something illicit, providing dirt on his opponent during a presidential campaign,” Adam Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said on Sunday, then impeachment may be the “only remedy that is coequal to the evil.”

You didn't seem to be very concerned when Joe Biden was doing this.

quote:

---

But Congress cannot subject the president to the supervision, control or review of a subordinate officer. As the Supreme Court made clear in a 1926 case, all executive branch officials exist to assist the president in the performance of his constitutional duties. An intelligence officer cannot file a whistle-blower complaint against the president, because the president is not a member of the intelligence community; nor does a presidential phone call with a foreign leader qualify as an intelligence operation. The intelligence community works for the president, not the other way around.

The democrats seemed to forget the part in bold during Mueller's Russia "investigation," and they seem to have forgotten it now.

quote:

---

Democratic presidential candidates are calling for impeachment. But they should realize that they themselves remain the framers’ primary remedy for presidential abuses of power. The Constitution trusts the American people, acting through the ballot box, to render judgment on President Trump. Democrats should trust the framers’ faith in the American people, too.

---

Future Democratic presidents will be immune as Congress and the media will turn a blind eye to their alleged misdeeds. This has nothing to do with national security or upholding the Constitution. This is 100% about "getting Trump."

None of that is relevant

Sounds good to me.

You know what the shame is though right? After Obama ramming ObamaCare down our throats, Bush and the Patriot Act, and now the brave new world of precedents being set by Trump...if nothing happens, and it’s the new norm to just stop asking questions because all of these Politicians, even Nixon really, are immune to the Law, it’s what will happen next.

The next time a Dem controls the WH, and any branch of govt, new precedents will be set. Old ones will be used and most certainly abused, and this guy will be worse than the last guy.

In our lifetime, we will see a collapse of every institution, pillar, etc and there won’t be any turning back.
