       Anthony,
       It feels like an eternity, but the whistleblower’s complaint was
       released less than one month ago. New revelations continue to
       emerge daily, but the underlying imperative remains the same:
       Congress must impeach and remove Donald Trump from office.
       Trump’s White House has gone into full stonewall mode by trying
       to block testimony and refusing to comply with lawful subpoenas.
       Their efforts are failing – administration officials are
       starting to defy the White House coverup and are telling
       investigators what they know.
       While Congress went on recess earlier this month, some
       representatives stayed busy in D.C. Members of three committees
       conducted hearings and listened to testimony during the break,
       issuing subpoenas for individuals involved in the Ukraine
       scandal and paving the way for a House vote on impeachment.
       Here’s a recap of the latest events:
       &#9658; October 22: Bill Taylor, a senior diplomat in Ukraine
       who objected strongly to withholding military aid to Ukraine in
       exchange “for help with a political campaign,” testified before
       Congress. Rep. Ted Lieu called the testimony “incredibly
       damaging for the
  HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/styles/renewablerevolution/files/809_84688966.jpeg<br
       />President.”
  HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/1/3-210818180844.png
       &#9658; October 17: Former European Union Ambassador Gordon
       Sondland testifies that Trump delegated Ukraine policy to
       Giuliani, a private citizen whose Ukrainian associates have been
       arrested for funneling foreign money into US elections.
       &#9658; October 17: White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney
       admitted in a press conference that Trump had withheld military
       aid in exchange for investigations into his rivals saying “Get
       over it. There is going to be political influence in foreign
       policy.”
       &#9658; October 16: Michael McKinley, a former senior advisor to
       Secretary of State Mike Pompeo steps down from his post and
       tells congressional investigators he was “disturbed by the
       implication that foreign governments were being approached to
       procure negative information on political opponents.”
       &#9658; October 15: Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s attorney, was
       subpoenaed by the House Intelligence Committee and ordered to
       hand over documents about his work in Ukraine. He refused to
       comply with either request.
       &#9658; October 15: George Kent, a top diplomat in Ukraine, told
       lawmakers he was sidelined by Trump’s associates, and that Trump
       and Giuliani had pressured Ukraine to investigate the Bidens.
       &#9658; October 14: Fiona Hill, Trump’s former Russia adviser,
       testified before committee members and confirmed she saw
       “wrongdoing” regarding Ukraine. It appears some of that
       testimony was explosive, including that Former National Security
       Advisor John Bolton took care to distance himself from the
       arrangement, comparing Giuliani and Mick Mulvaney’s scheme to a
       “drug deal.”
       
       Thank YOU for all that you do for our democracy, we would not be
       where we are today without your tireless efforts to hold the
       most corrupt &#129408; president in history  accountable

       explosive and damning to Donald Trump. Taylor's statement

       Shirley Kennedy | 11:45 pm EDT October 22, 2019
       Palmer Report » Analysis
       Acting U.S. Ambassador Bill Taylor took the wheel from Gordon
       Sondland and threw everybody under the bus in his testimony
       before Congress today. Politico reported that “sighs and gasps”
       could be heard as Taylor read his 15-page opening statement.
       Reading the statement will certainly induce these sounds, if not
       downright anger. Unlike most Trump appointees, Taylor is an
       experienced ambassador. He was initially appointed by President
       G.W. Bush and served under President Obama. Taylor is clear that
       he is nonpartisan and serves the American people and no one
       else. It is refreshing to hear that we do still have people
       working in our government who do it for their love of service,
       though many of those were shoved out by Trump.
       Taylor’s statement is very detailed and cannot be fully covered
       in this article, but we can certainly look at some of the
       highlights and know exactly where his head is and where his
       loyalties lie. Taylor was appalled at Rudy Giuliani’s
       involvement in government business, as are most of us. He wasn’t
       elected to anything and has no right to be involved in
       government business. Leave it to Trump to bring one of his
       lackeys into something he doesn’t belong in.
       Unlike Trump, Taylor is concerned with Russia’s attempt to take
       over Ukraine and become a threat to not only its European
       neighbors, but the entire world. When he was approached by Mike
       Pompeo to get involved in Ukraine, he was reluctant. Taylor did
       not appreciate what they had done to his predecessor, Marie
       Yovanovitch. He consulted with his wife, who urged him not to
       go, before his mentor convinced him to go. He was also assured
       that U.S. policy supported Ukraine and that all of the negative
       things he had heard about Giuliani were of no consequence.
       Little did he know that he, like the rest of us, was being
       hoodwinked.
       It was only after Taylor agreed and traveled to Ukraine that he
       discovered “two channels of U.S. policy-making and
       implementation, one regular and one highly irregular.” Guess who
       was on the irregular team? You’ve got it: Giuliani, Kurt Volker,
       Rick Perry, and Gordon Sondland, who tried his best to mislead
       Congress and did to a certain extent. Then, Taylor testified and
       completely blew Sondland out of the proverbial water. Sondland
       has certainly earned back the cool million he donated to Trump’s
       inauguration, while trying to cover his complicity.
       Taylor’s testimony was detailed, according to Politico, clearly
       outlining just how much the promised military assistance was
       tied to Trump’s personal endeavors. Harley Rouda (D-CA) said
       that the “body language of the people hearing it was ‘holy
  HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/styles/renewablerevolution/files/3104_shit%20bitmap.png,'”<br
       />while Stephen Lynch (D-MA) said that the testimony “could
       accelerate” the impeachment inquiry. Bring it on, please. Taylor
       gave a clear timeline of events, and Tom Malinowski (D-NJ)
       hinted that Taylor presented evidence to corroborate his
       account. Whatever Taylor provided and said must have been good,
       as Politico reported that Jim Jordan left for lunch
       “tight-lipped.”
       Trump and company are likely very unhappy that Pompeo brought
       Taylor back. They should have known that a career diplomat would
       refuse to get involved in their bullshit, and that’s exactly
       what he has done. It appears that Sondland might be recalled, as
       Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) said, “Mr. Sondland is going to have
       some explaining to do.” He certainly does, as does faux
       president Trump. Tick-tock, Trump. We’re coming for
       you.

       Anyone surprised is naive.
       When someone tells you what they are, believe them. I've been
       telling everyone I see that Trump is interested only in himself
       and will start a war (outside the US, as opposed to his daily
       domestic attacks) if that's what it takes to save his orange
       hide. In the final days in the bunker, Hitler told senior Nazis
       that “everyone has lied to me, everyone has deceived me” just
       eight days before he killed himself, This per declassified
       diaries that Guy Liddell, former head of counter-espionage at
       MI5, kept during the 1940s and 50s. Hitler ranted that the
       German people had not fought with enough heroism and they
       “deserved to perish”, according to the documents.
       Ivana is on record saying Trump kept a book of Hitler's speeches
       by his bed. Just saying'.

       [html]</div>&#13;<p>About a week ago, Rudy Giuliani learned
       through the media that he&rsquo;s the target of a federal
       criminal investigation that&rsquo;s already snared his henchmen
       Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman. This prompted Rudy to part ways with
       the attorney who had been representing him in the impeachment
       inquiry, and announce on Twitter that he doesn&rsquo;t need a
       lawyer going forward.</p>&#13;<p>This made sense to no one but
       Rudy, of course. He&rsquo;s going to be indicted and arrested,
       and he&rsquo;ll need a criminal defense attorney to represent
       him at the resulting court proceedings. Even if Donald Trump
       were to pardon Rudy on federal charges, New York State would
       presumably sweep in with parallel state level charges, and Rudy
       would still end up arrested and on trial. That&rsquo;s on top of
       the court battle he&rsquo;ll be fighting over the House
       impeachment inquiry subpoena.</p>&#13;<p>There was no scenario
       in which Rudy wasn&rsquo;t going to need a lawyer unless he was
       planning to represent himself, which meant he must have been
       planning to represent himself. That would be an absurd and self
       defeating move, but Rudy is all about absurd and self defeating
       moves. But when Parnas and Fruman appeared in court on
       Wednesday, they tried to invoke executive privilege, which is a
       clever way of dragging Donald Trump into their trial and making
       the whole thing his problem.</p>&#13;<p>Shortly thereafter,
       Palmer Report noted that Rudy Giuliani finally came to life on
       Twitter after a prolonged quiet period, and made a point of
       asserting that all of his actions with regard to Ukraine were on
       Trump&rsquo;s behalf. In other words, if Lev and Igor are making

       Rudy Giuliani knows too much about what REALLY happened on 9/11
       and who were the TRAITORS IN THE U.S. GOVERNMENT 100%
       responsible for that false flag attack, including himself. It
       was Rudy Giuliani that was in the WTC 7 New York "Command Post"
       when the first two WTC Towers were demolished, leaving the third
       9/11 building targeted for explosive demolition, WTC 7, only a
       few minutes before "office fires" ::) demolished it almost
       exactly in its footprint.
       Rudy Giuliani KNEW WTC 7 had to be demolished with pre-planted
       explosives BECAUSE it had the 9/11 TREASON smoking gun (totally
       unrelated to the financial Worldcom, etc. "records that were
       lost". SEE: Limited hang out head fake). For those who don't get
       it, I suggest you follow the money involved in the contracting
       for and installing of all the electronics in the "Command
       Center" in WTC 7.
       Rudy Giuliani was the ultimate bought and paid for INSIDER
       needed by Cheney & Pentagon pals, on 9/11 at ground zero, to
       make sure everything went as murderously planned, including
       playing the hero after electronically aiding in the destruction
       of three buildings. EVIDENCE of that is his complete "Everything
       is under control" expression on that day. You can see people
       around him still in a state of anger and/or shock. It is super
       easy to play the big brave "hero" when you are in on the False
       Flag TREASON.

       That is probably why he thinks he is "untouchable".
       In a way, he is right. Publicly, TPTB will probably never go
       after him. But, he forgets how it easy it is for "lamentable
       accidental deaths" and "unexpected lethal heart attacks" to
       occur... TPTB are not boy scouts. Rudy is expendable, whether he
       wants to believe that or not. So is Trump, though they will
       never cause visible bodily harm to Trump. Some drug (or repeated
       small doses of toxic heavy metals in his food like lead or
       arsenic will quickly mess up cognitive functions enough to
       produce dementia or alzheimers symptoms) that surreptitiously
       (i.e. to Trump's knowledge) produce "lamentable premature
       dementia" is probably they way TPTB will get rid of the current
       POTUS embarrassment IF Trump doesn't go quietly. The way Trump
       has started to babble incoherently (see: the "U.S. border wall"
       of Colorado), the cognitive impairment campaign by TPTB may
       already be active.
       Agelbert NOTE: The Palmer Report keeps trying to frame Giuliani
       as a nut case or an incompetent criminal. He is evil, but he is
       neither crazy nor incompetent. Giuliani and Trump are being
       exposed by people with integrity.
       Criminals arrogantly believe that ethics based guys and gals
       "always lose" to the "smart" people like him and Trump. That is
       the flaw in all these POTUS Criminal Conspiracies, not
       "incompetence".
       Palmer does not want to go there. I read the Palmer Report
       almost every day. It has great reporting on the criminal
       activities of Trump and his wrecking crew. However, Palmer
       thinks Biden is a "good guy" and Sanders is "unelectable".
       That's just not true. He is also a worshipper of all things
       Pelosi. So, his objectivity is questionable when Democratic
       Party issues are the subject, even if he is fairly accurate
       about all things Trump.

       Rep. Bennie Thompson, chairman of the House Homeland Security
       Committee, demanded on Wednesday that the chamber's sergeant at
       arms take action against the dozens of Republican lawmakers who
       stormed a secure impeachment hearing room with their cellphones,
       a brazen violation of House rules. The stunt delayed the
       testimony of Pentagon official Laura Cooper, a witness in the
       impeachment inquiry against President Trump.

       [center]House Democrats score major court victory in impeachment
       battle against Donald Trump[/center]
       Bill Palmer | 6:15 pm EDT October 25, 2019
       Palmer Report » Analysis
       Even before Donald Trump’s Ukraine scandal surfaced and forced
       the issue, House Democrats were already taking the necessary
       steps to acquire evidence and testimony in the impeachment of
       Donald Trump. One of those legal battles has finally been
       decided, and it’s a major victory for the House Democrats – on
       two different levels.
       Today a federal judge ruled that the grand jury evidence from
       the Mueller Report must be turned over to House Democrats within
       five days. Donald Trump can attempt to file an emergency
       injunction with the appeals court, but even if it’s granted, the
       precedent set here suggests that the Democrats will win this
       battle once the appeals have been exhausted. Even as we wait to
       see if an appeals court is willing to step in, today’s ruling
       also hands the Democrats a broader victory.
       Team Trump tried to convince the judge not to release the
       Mueller grand jury evidence by asserting that the House
       impeachment inquiry was invalid. There’s no legal or
       constitutional basis for such an assertion, of course. So not
       only did the judge side with the House Democrats on the Mueller
       material today, she also ruled that the House impeachment
       inquiry is indeed legally valid. She went even further by
       finding that Trump is “willfully” trying to obstruct the
       impeachment inquiry.
       This ruling helps set the legal precedent going forward that the
       House impeachment inquiry is indeed a constitutional proceeding,
       and that Trump has no legal basis for trying to suppress
       evidence or stop anyone from cooperating with the inquiry. As is
       increasingly the case with the Trump regime, his lawyers used an
       argument in court that had no legal basis and was instead the
       kind of foot-stomping nonsense that Trump loves to hear. And, as
       is going to continue being the case, the judge laughed him out
       of court for it. Trump’s people aren’t even trying to win;
       they’re just trying to keep Trump sated as everything falls
       apart for him.
