ASU Reporter On How He Broke The Story On Trump's Ukraine Envoy Resigning | Morning Joe | MSNBC

    1. Nothing credible indicating he had a complaint in August. It’s like the GOP cry that the rules changed about definition of whistleblower. Proof besides some blog?

  1. The whole world has realized that your president invents a new alternative to the truth every day! The question is, how long will it take before this is not tolerated!

    1. Jake MacHine, when he admitted asking Ukraine president and submitted the summary of the call where Ukraine PRES: asks about the Javelin missiles, Trump literally says I have a favor though.. and goes in specifically talking about the company Biden’s son worked for.

      This was for political reasons, don’t kid yourself. That is a violation of both of these:

      §30121. Contributions and donations by foreign nationals
      (a) Prohibition
      It shall be unlawful for-
      (1) a foreign national, directly or indirectly, to make-
      (A) a contribution or donation of money or other thing of value, or to make an express or implied promise to make a contribution or donation, in connection with a Federal, State, or local election;
      (B) a contribution or donation to a committee of a political party; or
      (C) an expenditure, independent expenditure, or disbursement for an electioneering communication (within the meaning of section 30104(f)(3) of this title); or

      (2) a person to solicit, accept, or receive a contribution or donation described in subparagraph (A) or (B) of paragraph (1) from a foreign national.
      (b) “Foreign national” defined
      As used in this section, the term “foreign national” means-
      (1) a foreign principal, as such term is defined by section 611(b) of title 22, except that the term “foreign national” shall not include any individual who is a citizen of the United States; or
      (2) an individual who is not a citizen of the United States or a national of the United States (as defined in section 1101(a)(22) of title 8) and who is not lawfully admitted for permanent residence, as defined by section 1101(a)(20) of title 8.
      (Pub. L. 92–225, title III, §319, formerly §324, as added Pub. L. 94–283, title I, §112(2), May 11, 1976, 90 Stat. 493 ; renumbered §319, Pub. L. 96–187, title I, §105(5), Jan. 8, 1980, 93 Stat. 1354 ; amended Pub. L. 107–155, title III, §§303, 317, Mar. 27, 2002, 116 Stat. 96 , 109.)

      § 11.448 Abuse of office.
      A person acting or purporting to act in an official capacity or taking advantage of such actual or purported capacity commits a misdemeanor if, knowing that his or her conduct is illegal, he or she:
      (a) Subjects another to arrest, detention, search, seizure, mistreatment, dispossession, assessment, lien or other infringement of personal or property rights; or
      (b) Denies or impedes another in the exercise or enjoyment of any right, privilege, power or immunity.

    2. Jake MacHine, then when he compared a whistle blower (protected by law) to a treasonous spy who should be dealt with the way we use to (Ie shot in the head) he likely committed the following:

      18 U.S. Code § 1512. Tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant.

    3. Jake MacHine, is he looking into his own children who are making 10 times that amount in foreign countries. Take ivonka’s Trade name in China, did you know China approves of less than 1% of foreign countries trade names and patents in China? Less than 1%!!!! Your obviously a partisan hack!

    4. @Andy Smitty What special skills does the crackhead Hunter Biden have ?
      Biden is guilty. Obama , Hillary, many in the fbi, cia, are guilty.
      Why do you refuse to criticize after the Obama administration?
      The Obama administration did everything you listed and much more.
      Just to be clear, Biden is not a political opponent of Trump.
      You are nothing more than a partisan hack if you can’t tell me how Hunter recieved his jobs after being thrown out of the military.
      Trump has every right to take down the bad guys.

  2. I love how the truth is calmly coming out while trump and his minions are throwing hissy fits all over the airwaves in front of America. No wonder support for impeachment is growing.

    1. Marchant2 Lol do u really believe that? Trump is gonna win in a landslide, can’t wait for “liberal” meltdown volume 2

    2. Trump’s blundering stupidity will win again and the world will have it’s satirical entertainment. Keep the lulz coming Muuurricaah!

  3. What? Someone resigned. Well, there you have it. But lets get Trump to just use a Plastic Reset Button, then all is A-O-K

  4. Panic In DC!! Running FF’s to try to change the narrative!!!
    The Declass cannot come fast enough! Pray for this country and POTUS and Military!

  5. Dear “President” Trump:

    I would like you to do us a favor though … please continue to make these sorts of threats and innuendos to members of Congress and whistleblowers so as to demonstrate to the entire country that you are unfit for office and must be removed immediately.

    Sincerely,

    A concerned citizen

  6. Awesome news, I go to ASU too and it’s cool to see a student at our university is involved in the reporting of this whole Ukraine story.

  7. Hire him now before anyone else hires him! Smart, calm and well spoken and big plus, handsome too! I would appreciate hearing also what college students and young people are really thinking about politics and our country. GREAT SCOOP Andrew Good job! Thank you!
