Ask a judge about the identity of a jury or witness. Good luck and tell me how that goes for ya.
— > Let’s test Tubin’s claim:
True or False: If the U.S. was a corporation like TrumpUSACorp .org, something like this (threatening a whistle-blower) would never happen.

@First Last A whistleblower is not a witness, though he also may be that too.
Unmask Trump’s transcripts from the secret server.
@Wake Up
seriously?
3 years and multiple investigations later, and youre still prattling on?
very small brain there dude
very very small brain
@Wake Up you need to wake up
@Rod Allen
The transcript is not a transcript at all.
It’s a redacted, edited summary of a transcript of a phone call.
And why was it moved to a highly classified server?
@Merrilou Neigenfind lolol you keep telling yourself that are Bahrr, Durham,and Horowitz privide the proof of democrat interference in 2016 and the use of the fbi, cia, and the doj to undermind the president and try to set him up. It has to hurt to lose an election you were rigging lolololol. The truth will come out. And now in 2020 you won’t have all those people helping, Trump will win in a landslide. Popular vote and electoral college lololol. If he gets impeached it will be a bigger slap in the face because he won’t be removed. So he will be the first President to get impeached and re-elected lololol. You democrats are making him a martyr and a hero. Dumbasses lolololol.
Plan A fell apart “it didnt happen”….Plan B, who do we smear.
Rapepublikkkans tactic 101.
It gives them a Boogie man. They really need a Boogie man right now. Badly…
Ancel Rick You mean “Bigly”!
Ancel Rick they have one… in plain sight… TRUMP!
The whistleblower’s credibility is fantastic simply because everything he’s said about the call has been accurate.
@Franky B So you’re saying he’s innocent because he only did it once
Spicy Meatball I wonder how that can be when the “whistleblower” said they were NOT on the call listening.
@Don Williams Guess you’re going to keep ignoring the part about tRUMPs administration confirmed what the whistleblower said to be true. I’m starting to see that no tRUMP defender has common sense
Don Williams So, you would have us believe that the whistleblower (who was honest about hearing the info second hand) reported a damaging false complaint to discredit the president—that, quite by coincidence, was confirmed by actual firsthand witnesses? What are the odds 😆
He protests too much, maybe he himself is the whistleblower?
…well he kind of is. 😂🤣🤣🤣
@KAY KhicKhic not protesting with you KayKhic.
Well he gave the proof of his crimes and gave a confession on live tv. He did blow the whistle on himself. And the other whistle blowers don’t matter anymore at this point. But to a narsisist there is nothing more annoying than not being able to attack your “enemy”…. to not control that person. Its about trump being mad someone didn’t obey him.
@Maaike R Narcissist are incredibly hard on themselves than others, that is 100% true.
Well, it’s not like intimidating a witness is illegal.
It makes sense if you don’t think about it.
tubruton intimidating a witness is illegal it’s called harassment
tubruton – Can you provide a link to the source which shows that it is not illegal? I’ll wait
Trump needs to unmask his tax returns and testify under oath!!
Factz !!!!!
The story has move beyond the “Whistleblower”.
@P. Hamilton Your POS Master Trump is a Leftist? Since he can not STFU about the Whistleblower. I wonder how your POS Master Trump feels that one of his good dumb sheep calls him a Leftist. You think he will drive a bus over you like the POS you are?
@FLAG BANDIT 😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴
@Dobs R Good, so what is this orange fool worried about? He’s got a solid legal defense…according to a moron like you.
His actions are very telling, and they’re not actions that an innocent man would do.
The orange turd is his own worst enemy.
Why is he still obsessed with the whistleblower? His own words have screwed him.
@mr smith Because he kill us all? How about that?
The whole story with every link needs to be engraved in stone, so that Trumpaholics have nowhere to hide from the truth.
@mr smith while chump is obsessed with Obama. It’s so pathetic.
@Daniel Perez Arguing with a troll only gets them a bigger paycheck.
@mr smith Because he is the acting ‘president’ and is dividing our country, he has made a joke of the US around the world, and because he is so stupid and clueless, dictators are flattering/humoring him so they can act with impunity., which endangers us and our allies.
Oh I forgot it’s mafia Don. He’s above the law!!
He’s to dumb, he cant run the Whitehouse like his golf courses
HRC just kills off her staff who tell the truth about things she has done in case you havent noticed
It’s not only illegal and harassment, it’s also witness intimidation and defamation of character….something ttump lacks!
Democrats “invented” Hypocrisy….and Harassment….and Defamation That’s all they’ve been doing since Nov. 2016…..you imbecile.
susan galam But Dems and FAKE news media can call him a RACIST and every other IST or ISM known to man and it’s not defamation of character? WOW!
Anyone that talks about themselves in the third person should be locked up: „ he never liked Trump“.
That is very odd of him. The man isn’t right!
No one speaks in third person than the idiot in the oval office
Like Hulk …
😂
TheToff What is more concerning is Trump seems to think if he can discredit the whistleblower, then the primary witnesses to the call (who corroborated the whistleblower) will magically go away.
Trump believes he is the above the law because his lawyer Rudy Colludie has told him so.
They should be held criminally liable for these acts.
Johnny Wadd – Please go study the law, to the point that you understand more than Congress does, and THEN re-state your point with all of the supportung detail. I won’t hold my breath
Yes, the president’s behavior is disgusting. You would think he was an all-around loser. He is. He perpetuates his bully behavior against anyone who disagrees with him. He CANNOT follow the law. Get him out.
The Democrat Party should be BANNED forever….as a Treasonous Criminal Cartel.
@P. Hamilton – Hitler used to call treason against his enemies so your comment makes perfect sense
@P. Hamilton – “Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peace makers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country” Hermann Goering
Release all the sealed court decisions – Trump has been involved in.
Hazel McCloy Then release all of Hillary and Obama’s calls.
@Don Williams what about tactic is a weak position to take
It matters not who the whistleblower likes or dislikes…his testimony must comport with other testimonies and the facts.
It doesn’t really matter who the whistleblower is or what his motives where, the only thing that matters is if what he is claiming is true or not. Full stop.
Right!? the message is out. The white house even released the quid pro quo comment by trump. Who said it is now irrelevant
One who hates trump doesn’t narrow it down any.
Zack Brumis
👏👏👏👏👏👍👍
This is all to intimidate future whistle-blowers.
GWINE Hmmm Where is Snowden? Who was POTUS when he came out? What did he call Snowden?
