The Rat Schiff

The lying rat Schiff----

Another idiot cartoon from Stalker--he isn't even bright enough to form his own opinions.

P-s-s-s-s-s-s-t !

The whistle-blower is Eric Ciaramella [idenitified in poor old DonDiego's post of 10:06am on 1 November within the thread entitled "The WhistleBlower"].

If poor old DonDiego knows, . . . Representative Schiff knows.

So who the fuck cares? The important thing is that the information he reported has been corroborated by multiple witnesses. The only reason to identify him now would be to bolster the nutty Fox News/Republican conspiracy theories about the whistleblower being a clone of Hunter Biden or a space alien from the Intergalactic Deep State or some other such tommyrot. At this point, the whistleblower's identity is about as important as that of the security guard who discovered the Watergate break-in.

Republicans are touting the asinine theory that the whistleblower acted out of partisanship, but the only flaw in that theory is that he is a TRUMP administration official. We know he's a member of the intelligence community, because that's where whistleblowers come from. Sean Hannity has already said that he's a killer robot smuggled in there by Hillary--or was it a giant radioactive space hamster? I forget.

I, for one, care. Please name the article or posting where Sean Hannity said what you have stated he said.

Kevin Lewis inquires: "So who the fuck cares?"

Well, . . . maybe, . . . some folks, . . . are interested in the motives of a whistleblower.  Like if he has political leanings one way or another, . . . or a history of, umm,  discontent.

From Meet Eric Ciaramella published in Summer 2017:

***

"Ciaramella’s ascension is surprising considering pro-Trump sources within the Obama administration disclosed to me in December, 2016 that Ciaramella’s helped draft Susan Rice’s anti-Trump talking points before the Inauguration.

In fall of 2016 as Obama’s director for Ukraine on the NSC, Ciaramella was the main force pushing Trump-Russia conspiracy theories.

Some suspect Ciaramella was one of the original leakers who told the media about classified conversations Trump had with Russian diplomat Sergei Lavrov. While it’s unproven that Ciaramella leaked that conversation, it is now a fact of life that he will have access to every conversation Trump has with foreign officials, as part of his official duties for McMaster."

Somebody shoulda listened.

Kevin is deaf to the truth. 

That's the current Republican playbook. State that the whistleblower acted purely out of partisan malice and made up the whole thing.

However, DonDiego should note that the White House released two transcripts (albeit not complete) of the phone call that the Republicans have been saying did not happen, and since then, over a dozen witnesses have backed up the whistleblower in one fashion or another. There is no reasonable doubt that the conversation took place and that its substance was as the whistleblower claimed.

As to the motivations of the whistleblower--they are irrelevant. Of COURSE Trump and the Republicans say that anyone reporting his crimes must be motivated by partisan considerations and be out to get him. It's a pretty standard tactic to, when you can no longer refute an accusation, attack your accuser. Trump's doing that now, or at least trying to.

If I report that my neighbor is selling illegal drugs out of his home, and the police come and find that he is indeed doing that and arrest him, the fact that I dislike my neighbor doesn't enter into it. The fact that I dislike him may introduce an element of skepticism into any evaluation of my accusation. But after he's caught--do my feelings about him and my motivations for reporting his conduct actually matter?

I hope that DonDiego understands what I'm saying. I have no such hope regarding Stalker and the rest of the screaming Trump parrots here.

What? You have obviously lost your mind...

As I said, I have no hope that Stalker will understand what I'm saying...
