Tiberius Posted October 8, 2019 Author Posted October 8, 2019 Congress is now being blocked from question one of our nations ambassadors. The cover up is right out in the open. Ambassador Sondland has questions they need answers. The impeachment train is rolling, a Rollin down the line.,,

Cinga Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 and I'll be damned, but this crap of keeping ANY of this investigation, or ANY of the witnesses secret is beyond the pale! WE ARE AMERICA and have the RIGHT to know and see the proceedings! 5
B-Man Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 IC Inspector General Atkinson’s Coup by William L. Gensert Original Article With the dispensing of “firsthand” knowledge as a requirement for making a whistleblower complaint, ICIG Michael Atkinson unleashed what he must have known would result in multiple complaints where the basis was purely political. And in doing so, he has converted whistleblowers into nothing more than leakers and complainers. Think about it. If there is no requirement for actually having witnessed the actions a “whistleblower” is complaining about, complaints can include anything because the protections afforded a whistleblower provides him not only anonymity but also immunity from any repercussions for making claims that aren’t true -- absent provable malice, of course. 1 1

Lol, and if they did it publicly the Trump cultists would call it a show trial. Blah blah blah from the Trump cultists
B-Man Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Democracy Dies in Darkness, Indeed. “Talk about Democracy dying in darkness. It’s looking more and more as if the Democrats really are going to try to overturn the 2016 election based on testimony from an unnamed individual they won’t let the Americans see. That’s what we take from a bombshell report that House Democrats are considering masking the whistleblower when he testifies before the impeachment caucus.” They’ve learned from the Christine Blasey Ford debacle — don’t tell a story that can be checked. .

Deranged Rhino Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Some context / commentary from various figures: 1 2
B-Man Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 House Democrats are trying to impeach U.S. President Donald Trump based on information they are so far keeping secret from the public. The Democrat-led House Committees on Oversight and Reform, Intelligence, and Foreign Affairs pursuing the impeachment inquiry are refusing to release the full transcripts of the testimony provided by the first two witnesses. Last week, former U.S. special envoy to Ukraine Kurt Volker and Intelligence Community (IC) Inspector General (IG) Michael Atkinson provided their testimony behind closed doors. Reps. Eliot Engel (D-NY), Adam Schiff (D-CA), and Elijah Cummings have chosen to release bits and pieces of the evidence gathered so far that favors their impeachment effort. Engel, Schiff, and Cummings are the committee chairmen leading the impeachment investigation. Irked by the Democrats’ refusal to release the full transcripts, Republican lawmakers who witnessed the testimony first hand and pundits have called for the information to be made public. Via Twitter, Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) on Saturday urged Democrats to release Volker’s testimony — which lasted more than eight hours — “so all can read it.” “He candidly [and] professionally obliterated the bogus charge” by Democrats that President Trump made a quid pro quo offer to his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky. 2
