[move]The statement by the powerful Iowa senator did not mention
Trump's attacks on the whistleblower.[/move]
Oct. 1, 2019, 1:17 PM CDT / Updated Oct. 1, 2019, 2:09 PM CDT
By Dareh Gregorian
A top Republican senator Tuesday defended the whistleblower at
the center of the Democrats' impeachment inquiry following
repeated attacks from President Donald Trump.
"This person appears to have followed the whistleblower
protection laws and ought to be heard out and protected. We
should always work to respect whistleblowers’ requests for
confidentiality," Sen. Chuck Grassley, head of the powerful
Senate Finance Committee, said in a statement.
The Iowa Republican did not mention Trump by name, but said, "No
one should be making judgments or pronouncements without hearing
from the whistleblower first and carefully following up on the
facts. Uninformed speculation wielded by politicians or media
commentators as a partisan weapon is counterproductive and
doesn’t serve the country."
Trump and some of his allies, including Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan and
South Carolina Sen. Lindsay Graham, have said the identity of
the intelligence community whistleblower whose complaint sparked
the House's impeachment inquiry into the president should be
made public, even though it's protected under whistleblower laws
that Grassley helped write.

Support for impeaching Trump hits new high 👍

[center]Support for impeaching 🦀 Trump hits new high

A batch of recent polling confirms the Democratic impeachment
push is gaining steam — including a new POLITICO/Morning Consult
survey that shows for the first time that more voters support
than oppose proceedings to remove Trump from office. The uptick
is primarily among Democrats, as Republican voters surveyed
continue to have Trump's back.
In the POLITICO/Morning Consult poll, 46 percent of voters said
Congress should begin impeachment proceedings vs. 43 percent who
said they should not. Eleven percent had no opinion. That
support represented a 3-point bump from last week, when voters
were evenly split.
The new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll comes as at least a
half-dozen other media outlets have released surveys showing
support for impeachment rising. The polls suggest that Democrats
are gaining support for the impeachment inquiry as the Ukraine
scandal unspools. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had resisted
escalating the House’s investigations of Trump because of the
political risks, but the latest surveys suggest the party is
unlikely to bleed support from Democratic voters over the
decision to challenge Trump head-on.
Still, the move isn’t without risk. The percentage of voters who
disapprove of Trump’s job performance in the latest poll, 56
percent, still exceeds the 46 percent who think Congress should
begin impeachment proceedings to remove him, or the 51 percent
who say they support the current impeachment inquiry — a step
short of actual impeachment proceedings. Those findings indicate
that there is a slice of moderate voters who disapprove of Trump
but think Democrats are going too far.

House investigators are looking into an allegation that groups —
including at least one foreign government — tried to ingratiate
themselves to President Donald Trump by booking rooms at his
hotels but never staying in them.
It’s a previously unreported part of a broader examination by
the House Oversight Committee, included in the Democrats’
impeachment inquiry, into whether Trump broke the law by
accepting money from U.S. or foreign governments at his
properties.
“Now we’re looking at near raw bribery,” said Rep. Gerry
Connolly (D-Va.), a House Oversight Committee member who chairs
the subcommittee with jurisdiction over Trump’s hotel in
Washington. “That was the risk from day one — foreign
governments and others trying to seek favor because we know
Trump
HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-040718162655-14231561.gif💵<br
/>pays attention to this.... It’s an obvious attempt to curry
favor with him.”
The investigation began after the committee received information
that two entities — a trade association and a foreign government
— booked a large quantity of rooms but only used a fraction of
them, according to a person familiar with the allegation who
isn't authorized to speak for the committee.

Our Republic is at Risk
We just learned that attorney general Bill Barr, who engineered
the 1992 cover up of Iran Contra on behalf of Reagan and Bush,
was in Italy last week trying to find evidence that the Mueller
investigation, the FBI, and US intelligence agencies were
corrupted by the Clinton campaign.
Meanwhile, Mike Pompeo‘s state department has notified dozens of
people who sent emails to Hillary Clinton that their emails have
been retroactively classified, and they may therefore be subject
to criminal action, meaning Trump is now talking about
prosecuting and locking up Hillary Clinton.
We have stepped fully through the Looking Glass. Trump, the
Murdoch family with Fox News, and bizarre right wing sites
funded by cranky billionaires are leading a small but well armed
group of Americans toward what Trump himself calls a “Civil
War.“
This is all extraordinarily dangerous, In ways we have not seen
in this country since the 1850s.
If Republican lawmakers do not step up and stop this, our
country may well be torn apart in almost unimaginable ways.

It's there Sanctions, Stupid

It's All About the Sanctions

I watched Rachel Maddow interview Ambassador McFaul this
evening, and a number of things about this whole unholy mess
became clear. Let me see if I can lay it out:
In 2014, Russia invades the Crimea. In response, Obama and the
EU impose sanctions and kick Russia out of the G8 (not G7).
In July 2016, Russian operatives sit down with the Trump
campaign to discuss lifting sanctions.
In 2016, Russia interferes with the US elections. In response,
Obama imposes more sanctions.
Russia’s economy is not very robust, and the sanctions really
bite. In particular, they hurt Putin and some of the people
whose support he needs to stay in power.
During the transition, incoming NSA Flynn talks to the Russians
about lifting sanctions.
After Trump is sworn in, he tries to get the sanctions lifted,
but is balked by Congress.
Now, add in what we’ve been learning this week:
Trump was pressuring the Ukraine government to investigate
Crowdstrike, the company which had helped expose Russia’s
hacking of the DNC.
Trump also claimed the DNC server was being hidden somewhere in
Ukraine.
Trump also urges Zelensky to make peace with Russia on Putin’s
terms. (He did it again at their meeting, and the look on
Zelensky’s face was priceless.)
Barr travels to England, Italy, and other places trying to get
countries to reopen whether Russia really did interfere in 2016.
Barr also urges Trump to get Australia to look into their
diplomat’s breaking the story that the Trump campaign was
coordinating with Russia.
Put all that together, and here’s what it’s shaping up to be:
Putin desperately wants the sanctions lifted. His economy and
his political survival depend on it.
The original sanctions were put in place to punish Putin for
taking over Crimea, so if Ukraine makes peace with Russia, Trump
can argue there’s no more need for those sanctions.
The second set of sanctions followed Putin’s interference in our
2016 election. If Trump can show that it wasn’t Russia (but
maybe Ukraine or maybe some rogue actors based in Ukraine), he
can claim that the sanctions were a mistake all along and they
should be lifted.
All that is in addition to the benefits Trump personally gets
out of it:
He can “prove” he won the election without Russia’s help. (That
he is trying to do this by showing someone else helped him
instead just show you don’t understand Trumplogic™.)
He gets dirt on his most likely opponent.
Most important, he satisfies the puppet master, who will now
help get him another term (and also not put polonium in his diet
coke).
***
I use anyone interested I this topic to review the transcript of
the Rachel Maddow show for 9/30. She has just released a book
that includes, among other things, a section on Dmitry Firtash,
a Russian oligarch who gets paid on every unit of hydrocarbons
that transits through Ukraine. And she bottom-lines the end game
for Putin and his Manchurian "President."

Americans who believe their country stands for more than the
venal impulses of a 🍊🐒 failed real-estate
developer were understandably outraged at Mr. Putin’s mocking
response to a reporter’s question about Russian interference in
the 2020 elections.
🐻 "I'll tell you a secret - 😈 yes, we'll
definitely do this to cheer you up over there once and for all,"
The “joke” was so outrageous and offensive to those who believe
in democratic ideals that many missed the Russian president’s
comment a moment later:
--- Quote ---
> Putin said he would not mind if his phone calls with Trump
were published and that, because of his intelligence background,
he always assumed that his words could potentially be published
whenever he speaks.
>
> "I haven't done the work I do now my entire life and my
previous experience taught me that any conversation can be
published," Putin, who once worked for the KGB, said.
>

--- End Quote ---
The first, widely-discussed, jab was general trolling, something
at which Mr. Putin is much better at than his American
counterpart.
The second statement was a specific message for an audience of
🍊🐒 one.
I assume the news agencies’ interpreters gave a reasonably
faithful version of Putin’s words, but so much of the actual,
quite personal message was lost in translation. If I may, I’d
like to offer my own version:
”Yo, dumbass. I can break you in a second, because of your
uncontrollable mouth. Go ahead, read the transcripts. I never
said anything explicit, because I actually know how governments,
and successful criminal organizations, work. You, on the other
hand, are a wannabe movie gangster who thinks talking tough
makes the man tough. And because you’re not really tough at all,
you can’t stop talking.”
Putin gives exactly no f u c k s whether his conversations with
the Hamburdler go public. And he knows his 🍊🐒
pet can’t afford such insouciance.
Yes, his mocking laughter at us rankled. But I imagine his
message to his 🍊🐒 vassal probably evoked a
rather different response.
