The Federalist: OCTOBER 31, 2019 By Sean Davis
A top National Security Council (NSC) official who listened to President Donald Trump’s July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky testified to Congress today that he did not believe Trump had discussed anything illegal during the conversation.
“I want to be clear, I was not concerned that anything illegal was discussed,” former NSC Senior Director for European Affairs Tim Morrison testified today, according to a record of his remarks obtained by The Federalist.
Morrison testified that Ukrainian officials were not even aware that certain military funding had been delayed by the Trump administration until late August 2019, more than a month after the Trump-Zelensky call, casting doubt on allegations that Trump somehow conveyed an illegal quid pro quo demand during the July 25 call.
“I have no reason to believe the Ukrainians had any knowledge of the [military funding] review until August 28, 2019,” Morrison said. That is the same day that Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the chief anti-Trump inquisitor in the U.S. House of Representatives, disclosed on Twitter that funding had been held up. Politico also published a story that day, sourced to anonymous leaks, that military funding had been temporarily held up. read more
Doesn’t matter.
“Impeachment” is a purely political act.
Always has been, always will be.
No President (including the odious Bill Clinton) was any greater a liar, thief, pervert, womanizer, corrupt-o-crat, or “quid pro quo” politician than any of his accusers.
All these assholes pretending to pose as “protectors” of the Constitution are greater hypocrites than those they accuse – and they KNOW it. The present parade of hypocrisy is a blatant attempt to undo the 2016 and sabotage the 2020 (as everyone knows) and it is also the (hopefully) last gasp of nihilistic totalitarianism – presumably that now that they have removed the mask of “democracy” from their true, tyrannic face, there’s no “going back” (which is, of course, a gross misunderstanding of America and the American people, considering that we vacillate between Liberty and imbecility).
The reason that the Dems cannot define a specific “high crime and [or] misdemeanor” perpetrated by President Trump is simply because none exists – but the Constitution is sufficiently vague that the question is meaningless. If the totalitarians could be honest for even a second, their excuse would simply be that President Trump is a threat to their corruptions, extortions, and exactions.

‘I Was Not Concerned That Anything Illegal Was Discussed’
…rightly so. The only thing illegal HERE is this COUP attempt.
…you know, in most strangulations, the eyes tend to “bug out”, one of the reasons for the hood.
…I wonder if we can talk the executioner into leaving Schiff’s hood OFF, so we can see if his eyes fall COMPLETELY out so he can look at his feet while they’re airdancing when he swings from the gallows after we retake Washington in the coming Civil War…
Won’t make any difference to the Leftists in Congress and the Deep State, they will continue to see it the way they want to see it, the only question is will it make any difference to the general public.
This is the only chance they have of defeating Trump 2020 and they know it…
When does Schiff lie= everytime his mouth moves and he looks to the upper right….
scumbags…..anyone else losing sleep after hearing someone say “President Pelosi?”
No way the Democrats will hold any public hearings on impeachment. Ever. Maybe there will be some bullshit rigged “towne hall” media event dressed up to look like a legal proceeding, but it will turn out to be a shout-down against Republicans. Schiff’s impeachment vampire in the basement would burn to ashes in the sunlight.
Reminder to Schiff: We’ve all read the transcript, and now we know the “Whistleblower” is a spy. You are setting up your NPCs for bitter disappointment, and galvanizing the rest of us to back Trump.
Apparently, I was the only person not invited to listen in on this phone call.
Yet the opening story on CBS (can’t broadcast shiite!!!!) was this man had just hammered in the last nail in the coffin to impeach PJT, it must be true as Nora Spaztic was drooling w/glee to pronounce sentence for final impeachment witness’s statement, fucking skanks still blowing their way up is no way to achevieve success, whore mouth.

From Tim: ” If the totalitarians could be honest for even a second, their excuse would simply be that President Trump is a threat to their corruptions, extortions, and exactions.”
Which is just another way of saying, “He’s not Hillary.”
