Wow. Can't believe a union would endorse a former Republican. Their members must be low information voters!
Do you guys remember the Trump Towert Meeting and we thought it was the biggest political scandal in American history
This seems to be the constant through line in this Trump Saga.
Our systems haven't failed us. The cowardice of the people tasked with upholding them failed us.
Maguire, Comey, even Mueller to an extent.
I think whatever else is hidden on the server is more than just protecting his reputation, it's probably similarly illegal.
But there is no more IHOP in Kilmeade's hometown of Massapequa (where I live). The restaurant that took over the signature IHOP building is now called the Breakfast Barn.
Mattis. Mad Dog refuses to speak candidly even after leaving the administration.
Edit: But as years of polarization have shown us, a system is only as good as the people that work within it.

"What I have done is endeavored to follow the law," Maguire says.

Yes
Sooooo Forma won by 11 points but they're still endorsing Bernard as well? Were they just trying to placate the bros?
Indeed a tough spot, but he did choose to sideline the whistleblower law with loopholes to effectively bring the matter to the attention of the parties directly involved ahead of anyone else. It is indeed a "unique and unprecedented" situation where the whistleblower law wasn't quite codified for the consideration that the highest operatives in gov't are at fault, and yet he agreed the complaint was verifiably urgent and problematic and his rational judgement possibly just got clouded in procedure.
Not the best thinking from the Director of National 'Intelligence'. Proper mayhaps, but the content and concern of the memo was no longer of primary worry in that timeline.

Maguire says that people who see wrong doing should refer it to DOJ (which is run by a guy implicated in this particular issue).
Um. No, the correct answer is to raise it with IG.

I know. I feel like my time is better spent sleeping.
*rapidly spams f5*
This guy is pathetic.
It's almost worse than a Lewandowski type. At least that sycophant knows what he is.
Maguire, as Schiff just put it, left the whistleblower twisting in the wind for weeks. Maguire knew what he needed to do, and didn't do it, NOT because he wanted to carry water for the WH (fair), but because he just didn't want to be involved. He didn't want to be That Guy.
Well fine, but spare us all the honorable talk.
Part of me really thinks so. But wouldn't he go directly to congress when the report got blocked? I think someone lower level would be more circumspect. Or perhaps he wants to make every effort not to look partisan.
I mean I don't really know whether a gap of 11 between Warren and Sanders is close, but then a gap of 16 from Sanders and Harris isn't.
But also, ultimately it's a whatever.
Methinks Trump may have told Putin about this (and it'll be recorded on a call, no less).
(Note the timestamp on the first tweet)
Ohio 10th is only R+4. Swing district even though it includes the Dayton suburbs. Huge military district, too.
If you seen the heat the WFP got from the bros I don't blame them. I don't have issues with Bernie but his supporters tend to be way to agitated to root for.
Turner won by a comfortable margin last year (about 13 points) but this whole ordeal is a reminder that not everyone can afford to play Trump patsy.
Good, they'll probably win it too.

Quigley: "To your knowledge, does [Giuliani] have security clearance?"
Maguire: "I don't know."
Q: What's your understanding Giuliani's role?
Maguire: "My only knowledge of what Mr. Giuliani does ... I get from TV & news media. I am not aware of what he does for the President."

So turns out my actual rep (Ken Buck) and the rep for the rest of the county I live in (Joe Neguse) are both on Judiciary.
Should be quite the contrast.
Should be quite the contrast.
If Trump talked and committed impeachable acts on the phone with UKRAINE, just imagine the juicy shit he gave to Putin over the phone and in private.
Trump is literally an idiot who likely gave up US secrets to curry favor with fascists.
I can't get over how easy this whole scandal is to understand. Dems usually suck so bad at messaging, but this is just easy lay-up after easy lay-up.
She thought she was making some amazing point about the whistle blower quoting them saying they weren't a firsthand party to all events, and then Maguire proceeds to tell her that the IG did a thorough investigation and found the information in the report credible and urgent.
