crickets's JournalMore about NSC head counsel Eisenberg
For context, from this post: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100212632837#post14
comes a link to this article:
The lawyer at the center of the Ukraine vortex
Eisenberg is thought to be the one who ordered the Ukraine call transcript sent to the secure server. For that, his seat is about to get plenty hot.
Also disturbing is Repub line of questioning
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla:
"They've been unsuccessful," she added.
Everyone with a conscience (sometimes a small group, I know, but still) should be loudly calling out and shaming them for this, over and over again.
edit to add a name
Ollie should have gone to jail for a very long time.
Instead, he barely received a slap on the wrist and walked away with his public reputation mostly intact. His convictions were reversed and he's toodled along over the years with numerous books, a radio show, and his own TV show. He managed to make a career out his criminality, twice.
Nauseating.
I love, love this little bomblet Vindman dropped in his statement:
That is how you say what Alexander Vindman comes to say to the Congress on Tuesday. He makes sure to note one more thing in striking a blow against this threat to the republic he swore to preserve and protect.
"I sit here, as a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Army, an immigrant." [emphasis mine]
*Boom.*
Moving and inspirational-
What hope he shares here, and faith in our institutions. It's a beautiful message, closing with a quote from Barbara Jordan. It's a must read.
Plain talk, well delivered.
Denny Heck clearly and methodically covered all the necessary points using everyday language that is unlikely to be misunderstood.
*applause*
*ding!* WINNER!
Why can't someone muzzle this idiot? How dare he tweet about an op while it is ongoing? I just can't even. Will someone in the media PLEASE nail him for not bothering to think about intelligence protocols and about the safety of his own troops? I long for the days when we had someone with enough sense to stay silent out of respect for the gravity of the situation, send out the appropriate representatives to give a proper statement to the press, and later step up to the microphone when the situation is stabilized to thank those responsible.
Instead of statesmanship and respect for the military trying to do their jobs, we have embarrassing little snotnosed Donny tweeting "I-know-something-you-don't-know!" to the entire world. *headdesk*
eta - sorry if I got a little het up, there.
The country is still under attack
from without and within. The redacted information in the Mueller report belongs to the people of this country, and if it's too sensitive for public release, at the very least our representatives should be able to see it. They need to, to assess the risks as well as the context of their current inquiries.
Emphasis mine, and I agree it's time the media stopped second guessing and playing spin games and just do their jobs: report the facts, so that people know what is going on.
I'm torn.
On the one hand, I agree with you. An open government should insist that the vote of our representatives is public, and any secret ballot sets bad precedent. On the other hand, for the sake of this country's survival, Trump has got to go.
Oh, great laughs!
