      Don't be ridiculous. On the contrary - had you not been spoon fed how 'harmless' the call was from your preferred sources, you'd be joining the call for his impeachment.

      The truth here can be seen by just imagining how 'harmless' you would have considered those same words in the same circumstance if spoken by Obama, or Hillary.

        Little is known about the whistleblower, who, according to the complaint, was not a direct witness to the conversation but was told about it by White House colleagues.


        You know what that's called, Jim?

        Hearsay.

        Are you so desperate in your "hate Trump" campaign that you'd jump on rumors and hearsay?
        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          Reread the opening post. And Not only that, Trump has accused those that brought to light this call of spying, and implied they should be executed for their actions.

          Again, are you really this naive?

            To repeat the idea you have corrupted for clarity: Given the content of the transcript of the conversation between Trump and Zelensky where Trump clearly tied the aid to Ukraine with the 'favor' of investigating biden ('regarding that ...") coupled with the fact the aid for Ukraine was put on hold just before that same conversation and remained on hold for months, coupled with the fact Trump is in power and still holds sway over whether and to what extent the US will in fact help Ukraine repulse Russian aggression, Zelensky MUST NOT offend Trump, he has no choice, and THEREFORE we must assume that the probability is very his he is lying to avoid offending Mr Mob Boss.

            Only an naive idiot could not perceive coercion in the content and juxtaposition of Trumps conversation about the Javelin missiles and the request for a 'favor'. So again, please stop pretending to be so naive. You may as well be walking around the room naked and telling me to believe you have great new outfit on.


            Jim
            Translation: "I'm not delusional! The voices on my television told me so!"

            Seriously, Jim, get help. Not necessarily professional counseling, but maybe take a break from politics for a few weeks? It might do you some good.

                      Pffft. What would the whistleblower's own lawyers know especially if it goes against the pontifications and proclamations of the MSM?

                          When a Christian allows himself to be worked into a frenzy over a politician doing the kind of things politicians do, It's not healthy. And, yeah, Trump takes it to a whole new level, but you really don't need to let his jackassery steal your joy.

                              "60 Minutes," which first obtained the letter, originally reported that the contents suggested the whistleblower was under federal protection. However, lawyer Mark Zaid said in a statement to The Hill that the news outlet "completely misinterpreted the contents of our letter."


                              I think Ox only read that parts that confirmed his bias.

                                The letter states - in its entirety:

                                Source: letter from whistleblower firm to Macguire

                                On September 26, 2019, the
                                President of the United States said the following:
                                Right? With spies and treason,
                                right? We used to handle them a little differently than we do now.
