Second whistleblower comes forward in Trump-Ukraine scandal

The latest whistleblower "has first-hand knowledge" of the events in question, the person’s attorney said.


A second whistleblower has come forward with information about President Donald Trump’s call with the president of Ukraine, according to attorneys representing that whistleblower and the intelligence official whose earlier complaint set off a series of events culminating in an impeachment inquiry.
The second whistleblower "has first-hand knowledge" of the events, according to attorney Mark Zaid.
The first complaint, filed in August with the intelligence community's inspector general, centered on a July 25 phone call during which Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to look into why Ukraine's top prosecutor had apparently ended an investigation into a Ukrainian gas company that once employed former Vice President Joe Biden's son as a board member. House Democrats launched a formal impeachment inquiry last month as details of the conversation were made public.
Trump has publicly maintained that the call was "absolutely perfect" and "totally appropriate."
Text messages given to Congress Thursday and released by House Democrats suggest the call was part of a broader effort from Trump and his administration to pressure Ukraine.

You really do like the smell of your own excrement, don't you.
It is all a nothing burger until Pelosi puts this to the house for a vote . How does all this confidential information find its way to the press?

Inside the Republican paralysis over Trump��s possible impeachment


The GOP faces a reckoning as lawmakers weigh their political futures, their legacies and their allegiance to a president who has held them captive.

��Nobody wants to be the zebra that strays from the pack and gets gobbled up by the lion,�� a former senior Trump administration official said in assessing the current consensus among Senate Republicans.

I think Trump might emerge from this latest drama in better shape than he went in!

Sure it's possible.


Is it *likely*, that's more the question I think.


And I don't see HOW. He outright admitted to wanting another government to investigate a potential rival for Presidency which is against the law in the US during an election.


The only way he could be 'better' for it all, in the end, is if the law and Constitution - which supposedly the right holds to be the best thing ever created - no longer matters.

Hard to know! Maybe there's fewer shallow people than many think!

Not sure what you mean by shallow here. Shallow people - how?


I'm surprised you aren't familiar with the term. There's lots of versions of it. One that I encounter a lot is people who form negative opinions of people from news reports w/o actually witnessing in person what the subject may or may not have said or done. In other words who "give legs to gossip". :)

Oi...


I know what shallow means, I just didn't understand what you meant by it in this context.


Trump himself has proven the kind of person he really is, repeatedly, with his own words and actions.
