Lawyer: Whistleblower willing to take written GOP questions

Haha! Brilliant move to remove ammunition from Trumpophiles. Trumpophiles prefer to degrade our institutions and norms to maintain power. It's repugnant and a danger to our democratic republic.

Invalid CSRF, which is weird because I validate it every morning before my first post.

This is just so pathetic and transparent - the Whistle Blower is old news, they've been bypassed....

They initially identified the QPQ - but since then Donnie, Crazy Rudy, Mulvaney, Hill, Taylor, Sonland, Vindman, and a host of others have all confirmed it.

Repubs just want to distract from the fact that even Kelly-Ann couldn't say that there was no QPQ in an interview today.

Bolton is going to blow this out of the water when he testifies - he knew what was going on and called Rudy a "hand grenade" waiting to blow everyone up. He was in the room when Sonland offered the QPQ and shut down the meeting. He directed Vindman to go to the follow on meeting where Sonland brought the QPQ up again.

The SS Trump Titanic almost completely under water...

Why would she say something that wasn’t true. Wallace thinks he’s his father who really was good.

Probably not, if Bolton really wanted to get the President, he would be running to the Dems, but Bolton has a serious disdain for the Democrats and even though he and Trump parted ways bitterly, he’s not going to play their weaselly games.

He directed Vindman to go to the follow on meeting where Sonland brought the QPQ up again.

Once Vindman is on the stand I can’t wait for the Republicans to question his loyalties because it seem the guy is a bit torn.

The SS Trump Titanic almost completely under water...

Yeah, we’ve been hearing that for 3 years and every so called gotcha moment the Dems thought they had the had the President in a vice. No cigars...again.

If written questions were acceptable for Trump's testimony during the Mueller Investigation, the same goes for the Whistleblower. Right, Republicans?

The big difference is, now that we know who this person is and his history and what his true motivations are, it’s not the same at all since we now know it’s fully and completely politically driven. Now if Schiff were a real man of his words and not the viper he is, he would allow Trump’s attorney’s along with his ask any questions they want, but we Schiff is not that kind of person, but hey, he wants this to blow up in his face again, go for it.

Lolololol Who is he and what is his motivation?

I love how willing the right, who claim to support veterans are so willing to trash decorated vets in defense of a draft dodger.

The big difference is, now that we know who this person is and his history and what his true motivations are . . .

Really? Who is he? What is his name? What is his history? What are his true motivations and how do you know what they are? Where did you get your information, or is all of this conjecture on your part?

 it’s not the same at all since we now know it’s fully and completely politically driven. 

Only to Trump loyalists.

The fact is, the Whistleblower (whoever he or she is) does not have to appear at the hearings and is protected by the Whistleblower Act. That person can simply tell the Republicans to (and I am using your words from the past) "go pound sand."

Really? Who is he? What is his name? What is his history? What are his true motivations and how do you know what they are?

Most likely estimates is it’s Eric Ciaramella a deep Insider Obama holdover and a former CIA analyst who’s boss was none other than Trump hating John Brennan and if it is indeed him that would then explain Brennan’s boasting of his connections to the WH where he was also fired from the Obama administration. The guy has a history of being THE perfect fetch yes, man. And again, if it is him and it probably likely is given his less than colorful history it shouldn’t be difficult pin down his ulterior motives especially being a loyal partisan Democrat. Either way, the confirmation of his identity will be out soon enough.

That person can simply tell the Republicans to (and I am using your words from the past) "go pound sand."

And the President can do the same by not cooperating and what will the Dems do then? Aren’t him? Not going to happen, so it’s all going to end up in the SC. My wish is, he doesn’t give an inch until he gets to face his accuser ans knows his identity and until then, he should be their living nightmare through this faux scheme.

Most likely estimates is it’s Eric Ciaramella 

Ah, so by your own admission, we don't really know who the Whistleblower really is! In other words, this is just another one of your baseless accusations. Please, get back to us when the real Whistleblower is revealed.

And the President can do the same by not cooperating and what will the Dems do then?

The President doesn't have to cooperate during the investigation if he doesn't want to; however, he does have to follow the Constitution when it comes to not obstructing Congress' oversight and investigation role, or they can add "Obstruction of Congress" as yet another article of impeachment. Review what happened to Nixon if you have any doubts.

 Aren’t him?

Yep, he "aren't."

My wish is, he doesn’t give an inch until he gets to face his accuser ans knows his identity

Only in a court of law. Again, the Whistleblower is protected by the Whistleblower Act. Since you seem to have forgotten, the U.S. whistleblower laws exist to protect the identity and careers of people who bring forward accusations of wrongdoing by government officials. They are not required to testify in an open setting, but if you think so, then please show me where in the law it says this. Therefore, go review it first before coming back here and making demands that aren't part of the process.

Bass:. Once Vindman is on the stand I can’t wait for the Republicans to question his loyalties because it seem the guy is a bit torn.

Howso?

Most likely estimates is it’s Eric Ciaramella

It wasn’t. Debunked.

Howso?

He was born in Ukraine of course. Nothing else matters, that’s proof he’s a communist.

His years of service and entire rest of his life as an American were all in preparation for the chance to screw Trump, whom he knew would be president cause he saw it on the Simpsons.

Ah, so by your own admission, we don't really know who the Whistleblower really is!

But “more” than likely we do.

The President doesn't have to cooperate during the investigation if he doesn't want to;

Thank you.

Only in a court of law. Again, the Whistleblower is protected by the Whistleblower Act.

Yes, we know all that, but as I’ve said before, if the President is judged by flimsy evidence based on a political Obama holdover act who’s boss was that communist Brennan, then by all means, Trump should tell these people to go pound sand. He won’t be removed anyway so the Dems can do their foulest.

It wasn’t. Debunked

I wish we could take bets because you would owe me a lot of cash or apologies and this one should be no different, but I’m game, let’s see.

No, Vindman is a partisan who spent an entire multilateral exercise degrading the USA to a bunch of Russian military.

he had to be admonished by his superior officer. Who could testify but Schiff isn’t going to call him.

Military service itself doesn’t mean someone has good character.

It was not “Debunked” that Eric C is the whistleblower. Just the liberal media is afraid to say it because his lawyers threatened them. Plus it helps Trump so they won’t announce it.

Repubs just want to distract from the fact that even Kelly-Ann couldn't say that there was no QPQ in an interview today.

Why would she say something that wasn’t true. Wallace thinks he’s his father who really was good.

You mean when Trump says "No QPQ", she can't say that's true? Oh-oh...someone is in hot water - watch out for the bus Kelly-Anne!

Bolton is going to blow this out of the water when he testifies - he knew what was going on and called Rudy a "hand grenade" waiting to blow everyone up. He was in the room when Sonland offered the QPQ and shut down the meeting.

Probably not, if Bolton really wanted to get the President, he would be running to the Dems, but Bolton has a serious disdain for the Democrats and even though he and Trump parted ways bitterly, he’s not going to play their weaselly games.

"Probably" being the operative word...Johnny has an ego as big as Trump's - what do you think Trump would do if Bolton called him a "disaster"?

He directed Vindman to go to the follow on meeting where Sonland brought the QPQ up again.

Once Vindman is on the stand I can’t wait for the Republicans to question his loyalties because it seem the guy is a bit torn.

More smearing of a military hero...Trumpers just can't stand our military...even Repubs in the Senate won't go along.

The SS Trump Titanic almost completely under water...

Yeah, we’ve been hearing that for 3 years and every so called gotcha moment the Dems thought they had the had the President in a vice. No cigars...again.

Yep, can't smoke cigars underwater...

But “more” than likely we do.

"More than likely" is not the same as "We know . . ." now is it?

It was not “Debunked” that Eric C is the whistleblower. 

Yes, it was. But feel free to show actual, irrefutable evidence that he is. No speculation.

Just the liberal media is afraid to say it because his lawyers threatened them.

Fiction.

Yes, we know all that, but as I’ve said before, if the President is judged by flimsy evidence based on a political Obama holdover act who’s boss was that communist Brennan,

The only "flimsy" thing here is your lame character assasination attempt because you don't have any actual facts to support your assertions.

The GOP doesn't care about asking questions, they just want to know who this person is so they can start attacking him personally and Trump supporters can start issuing their death threats...

The Whistleblower should be aware that there is nothing that will satisfy McCarthy, Nunes, or any of the GOP enablers of Trump. They are blowing smoke.

Yes, we know all that, but as I’ve said before, if the President is judged by flimsy evidence based on a political Obama holdover act who’s boss was that communist Brennan, then by all means, Trump should tell these people to go pound sand. He won’t be removed anyway so the Dems can do their foulest.

This is why the Trumpers and Repubs trying to defend him are spinning their wheels - they're trying to make the argument that its all about the Whistle Blower - when all they did was highlight a possible QPQ.

After that, we have Donnie releasing the summary that said "I'd like you to do us a favor though", then Mulvaney said when asked abut a QPQ; "Get over it, we do it all the time", Crazy Rudy when asked if he talked to the Ukrainians about Biden went rogue and said "Of course" when 30 seconds before that said "No!", Hill, Taylor, Sonland, and Vindman all testified that it was QPQ. And Our Man Bolton said it was a "drug deal"...

The Whistle Blower is OBE - they've been overtaken by events - it doesn't matter if he was Hillary's butler or Bigfoot, what they alleged has been confirmed by Trump himself, his cronies, and many others.

Bolton will seal the deal when he testifies he was in the room when Sonland offered the QPQ, on Trump's direction. Then Sonland is going to have to explain why he lied under oath.

Notice after being on TV non-stop, we haven't seen Crazy Rudy in awhile? Wonder why?

Debunked means disproven, that you can factually show something is untrue. You can’t show it’s untrue, Eric C meets all that we know about the whistleblower and his buddy Sean got a job in Schiff staff. At the same time the whistleblower spoke with that same staff.

did you not see the threatening letter to the media from the whistleblower lawyers?

fine subpoena Eric C and ask him under oath if he is or not. Man if people thought I was and I wasn’t- I would be begging to testify to clear myself.

Was so many statements like this during Mueller time. And none of them actually happened.

Bolton will seal the deal when he testifies he was in the room when Sonland offered the QPQ, on Trump's direction

You can’t show it’s untrue,

Uh, yes we can. It's called the absence of actual evidence. You tried to once again provide speculation as actual proof. However, the burden of proof is on you because you've made the accusation. In the U.S. legal system, a person is innocent of any accusation until proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

did you not see the threatening letter to the media from the whistleblower lawyers?

No, not in any credible media source.

fine subpoena Eric C and ask him under oath if he is or not. Man if people thought I was and I wasn’t- I would be begging to testify to clear myself.

No need to. Go back and look at what is in the Whistleblower Protection Act and then get back to me.

Blacklabel: No, Vindman is a partisan who spent an entire multilateral exercise degrading the USA to a bunch of Russian military.

And?

he had to be admonished by his superior officer. Who could testify but Schiff isn’t going to call him.

Why would Vindman's superior officer be called to Trump's impeachment trial? Makes no sense at all.

Bass: He won’t be removed anyway so the Dems can do their foulest.

Yep. The GOP will work to make sure Trump doesn't pay for his crimes because it would be too much of a blow to their party. We've been saying "party before country" for years. They just took it to the level of burying crimes by their party's leader. Nothing more, nothing less.

And that's how it will be written in the history books.

if the President is judged by flimsy evidence based on a political Obama holdover act who’s boss was that communist Brennan, then by all means, Trump should tell these people to go pound sand.

There's really no need to even bother smearing the witnesses. The GOP should take the high road, thank them for their service, then vote to let Trump off for his crimes. At least our diplomats and military leaders won't be dragged through the mud for no reason.

Once Vindman is on the stand I can’t wait for the Republicans to question his loyalties because it seem the guy is a bit torn.

Ah, the questioning of loyalties. It's been done to Jewish Americans and Muslim Americans. And now it's been done to an American who came to the country when he was 3 years old.

Perhaps it's fair game now to question Trump's loyalties to the US?

"More than likely" is not the same as "We know . . ." now is it?

No, but definitely more confident it is.

Yes, it was.

So wait until they say it’s his name

The only "flimsy" thing here is your lame character assasination attempt

I don’t need to because Schiff, Brennan and Ciaramella are doing a pretty good job of it themselves.

Why would Vindman's superior officer be called to Trump's impeachment trial? Makes no sense at all.

What he did knowing 12 other people were listening to the call doesn’t make sense.

Yep. The GOP will work to make sure Trump doesn't pay for his crimes because it would be too much of a blow to their party.

Hey, the Dems didn’t pay for theirs and they are doing just fine.

And that's how it will be written in the history books.

Democrats read books now? Hallelujah.

There's really no need to even bother smearing the witnesses

He’s doing a good of it himself

Tulsi Gabbard conspiracy theories much?

Shifty Schiff keeps talking about it but he never brings proof. I think the man is full of garbage because he can’t keep up with his own lies.

I thought you were against name calling. I think all of us find it difficult to keep up with Trump and his supporters lies.

Lawyer: Whistleblower willing to take written GOP questions

Lawyers are under no obligation to tell the public, or anyone else, the truth. Their only legal obligation is to represent/protect their client (aka the whistleblower). Will the whistleblower, or his attorneys, collude with team "lying Schiff", or team "1st woman President Pelosi", before, during, or after they've received written questions from Republican lawmakers?

Why would the Republicans ask the alleged whistleblower anything AT THIS POINT IN TIME? I believe Republicans should wait until there is an actual impeachment, and then question the whistleblower under oath, and in public.

Yesterday at an event in New York he was again booed.

Saw that. This is what happens when he's not in his safe space. Which reminds me, it would be fascinating to see him have to testify. He would crumble and fast. This is why the GOP blowhards are terrified of the whole impeachment process. They know that the man is thin skinned and a pathological liar. Hell, we all do.

Do you guys really think all these Dems in Trump districts who lied to get elected and are now supporting impeachment will survive another election?

Pierre Delecto won’t.

Yeah. A video of a guy booing into his own phone. Why are all these videos of booing ones that capture people right next to the phone?

But cheering ones capture the entire arena? Propaganda. No one is booing trump at UFC fights.

Here’s your whistleblower and his two homies, both hired by Schiff:

“The whistleblower was an NSC official — a career CIA analyst with Ukraine expertise — who worked with former Vice President Joe Biden and who has expertise in Ukraine, theWashington Examiner has reported.

The Washington Examiner has also reported that two ex-NSC staffers are now under employment by Schiff. Abigail Grace, who worked at the NSC until 2018, was hired in February, while Sean Misko, an NSC aide until 2017, joined Schiff's committee staff in August, the same month the whistleblower submitted his complaint.”
