In Death, Khashoggi Exposes the Corruption of Kushner and Trump NOV 17, 2018There is a term for the exchange of U.S. intelligence — or, worse, policy — for money. The term is espionage. It is punishable by death.
I fully admit avoiding details of much going on since the election (I know, it's embarrassing, but for sanity reasons...) yet this story has slept in the background for a YEAR. Why has no one in the press loudly followed up on potential espionage until now, for goodness sake?
Excellent article - thanks for posting this. Kick for truth!
This isn't an issue where reasonable people arguing in good faith can disagree. This is a black-and-white, wrong-versus-right issue.
This is far from politics as usual. I don't think Pence is going to be spared.
It once looked like a long shot that both Trump and Pence would be impeached, but with this latest news being so grave that scenario is now up in the air. Pence is likely in the soup up to his neck with the rest of them - at the very least, he knew and said nothing. Leaving him in place would be too dangerous.
Welp, yesterday's headlines
that impeachment charges 'might broaden beyond Ukraine' sound a bit quaint now. This is treason, plain and simple.
'Wrap it up before the holidays!' Not happening. Anyone who was hoping for pardons if they got caught was kidding themselves because that isn't going to happen either. Thank goodness a pack of buffoons were in charge of this mess. Cleaning up is going to be long and bloody.
What a nightmare.
Just the paragraph I was going to post
This a long, well written article that lays out the entire Ukraine mess very well, with pertinent Mueller investigation information included. If you wanted one article to give a great overview of the whole situation, this would be the one.
If it were necessary to pick the most important paragraph, especially given how chilling it is, that one [points up to tableturner's post] would be it.
My question is: isn't doing a hatchet job on our own intelligence services a a bit... disloyal to our country?
Yep. Brazenly out in the open in more ways than one.
VMware on White House Cybersecurity: ‘The Night’s Watch Is Very Thin’Dimitrios Vastakis, a senior White House cybersecurity director, wrote the Oct. 17 memo, which also served as his resignation letter. He previously worked in the Office of the Chief Information Security Officer (OCISO), which the Obama administration established in 2014 following a breach of an unclassified White House network by Russian hackers.
In July, the Trump administration dissolved the OCISO and gave its tasks to the Office of the Chief Information Officer.
Axios also reports that the Trump administration is trying to force out these senior-level cybersecurity staff — especially those hired under Obama — and sources familiar with the changes said this could leave the White House vulnerable to a “network compromise.”
Sure seems like the people who wanted to 'wrap this up before the holidays'
are dragging their feet. It takes as long as it takes, and if they insist on dragging it out, fine. More time to make themselves look bad, more time to get the public informed and ready to kick them to the curb.
As frustrating as they are, the stalling tactics are going to bite Kupperman, McGahn, & co rather than help them.
