re: WAPO: "The Democrats’ impeachment bombshells aren’t exploding"

Seems like the play is to compare the actual chain of events to hindsight 20/20 most ideal/perfect chain of events that the most innocent person in the world would have done, and any deviations are a sign of guilt.

That's wrong. The Repubs want to focus on the call itself and claim that no one who heard the call thought there was anything out of the ordinary on it.

The DEms have said that the people that listened in were concerned right away and that White House security lawyer Eisenberg (who they talked to about the call) decided to put the transcript on the secure server so no one could see it.

Try as you may wish there is just no there there, this narrative is never going to catch on outside of the cellar dwellers at DU.

It does not matter what anyone thought about it one bit.

This entire dog and pony show was held for one reason, to bait Trump into testifying and it failed, there will be no perjury trap triggered, surprisingly he did not take the bait.

Every Democrat gets his Russia moment. This one is yours. Enjoy. Even mentally ill people deserve happiness

Wow. This is stupid drivel.

Both stories can be true. Do you think trump tell people where to put every phone call he has?

We heard that it is common that trump places these phone calls on the secret server. I don't know if we heard him say I told them to put it on the secret server.

We also heard Obama placed lots of calls on the secret server.

We then heard well it makes sense for him to have placed this call on the secret server because there are so many leaks.

So, based upon the explanations above, I don't care about what you said.

Let's go even further. Let's say that trump did say I had them put that call on the secret server. Well trump likely places many calls on the secret server. He probably doesn't remember every one he said to put there.

He thought if it's on the secret server, I probably told them to put it there. Reasonable conclusion.

So the worst you can say about this is trump spoke before he had all the details... Yeah. Obama did that all the time.

Let's say this is your gold mine. He knew they accidently put it on the secret server and he told a lie. Well no one will know why. Is it a significant lie? No. Does anyone really care about this lie? Nope.

Politicians, including trump lie all the time. On the realm of lies I care about, this is insignificant and mean nothing.

You can keep your doctor if you want is a way bigger lie that really pissed of a lot of people.

So likely this whole point you being up is a nothing burger. Even if he lied in the biggest possible way, it's a nothing burger.

And by the way I saw last night a story making the rounds. It's going to be Dems next impeachment attempt if it gains any traction. It's about trump people pressuring the IRS not to audit him...

Imagine having TDS so bad that you want to undo an election because you think Trump was hiding a transcript on a secret server so nobody could read read, despite the fact that the transcript was immediately release so everyone could read it. Sad!

Still waiting on evidence of a quid-pro-quo

The whole charade was a fool’s errand. We have the phone call. Every witness testifies that in their opinion the call was “improper.” But none of that matters because the President sets the nation’s foreign policy and if an underling in an alphabet agency disagrees with the policy and doesn’t want to carry it out, they should resign.

because he was using his influence to cover for his son

but he did not do that anyway

Let me explain to you how things work in the classified world. Things get overclassified or put on classified networks when there's no reason to ALL THE frickING TIME.

FFS I have lunch plans that are stamped SECRET//NOFORN because it was easier to coordinate on SIPR than NIPR because no one payed attention to NIPR.

You have zero understanding of what you're talking about. But then again you never do.
