Full Kennedy: All Pelosi Said Was The ‘Impeachment Investigation Continues’ | MTP Daily | MSNBC
Hey John Kennedy did you know the whistle blower wants to appear before Congress?
Congress will get to hear directly from the whistle blower who filed a formal complaint involving President Donald Trump’s communications with foreign leaders.
Lawyers for the whistle blower, who lodged the complaint to the Intelligence Community’s Inspector General in early August, have been in touch with both the House and Senate Intelligence Committees regarding potential testimony, according to the panel’s top Democrats.
Rep. Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, separately tweeted on Tuesday that the panel had “been informed by the whistle blower’s counsel that their client would like to speak to our committee and has requested guidance from the Acting DNI as to how to do so.” He added: “We’re in touch with counsel and look forward to the whistle blower’s testimony as soon as this week.”
@Jon Webster He withheld 1/4 of a billion dollars in aid just before the call…and it is a violation even without a quid quo pro such as that…to ask for election interference from a foreign government. Also if he really felt that way the FBI should be investigating not a corrupt foreign country. The military aid was to help keep Russia from invading like they did with Crimea. The lifted sanctions by McConnell was punishment for that. So Trump keeps military aid from a country Russia wants to invade and McConnell lifts sanctions on a weapons manufacturer that we were punishing for Russia invading their neighbors. Sounds like pure collusion to me. Trump’s campaign manager was paid $10 million a year to convert foreign governments to pro Russia states from Oleg Deripaska. And who’s election in the west does he head up? Agent orange’s of course. Where is he now? Prison just like Trump’s attorney.
THATS fabulous news! Now, let’s see how the WH and/or the senate will try and stop it.
Michael Dollar AND did you know that McConnel lifted sanctions on an aluminum co owned by Oleg Deripaska (very close to Putin) so they could invest $200m in an aluminum mill in Kentucky, Mitch’s state?

Mother: I think this baby is a joke so, let’s named him “John Kennedy” future numbnut congressman from Louisiana .. 😀😂🤣
I can’t stand to listen to him speak
HE’S A CURRENT NUMBNUT FROM THE RACIST STATE OF LA
Poor guys is so confused
He’s not confused, but he sure wants us to be. Mr. Kennedy certainly is adept at Soviet style “whataboutism”.
At least he knows what state he’s in, unlike Joe biden!! Lol….
Kennedy is wrong. It wasn’t an impeachment before it was just an investigation for crimes Trump has committed. That’s the intelligent committees job. Now they have all this evidence against trump and it’s officially an impeachment process.
Pamela Gater You should try harder to focus. This isn’t about Obama or Hillary. Haven’t you heard yet that it’s BEYOND lame and a ZERO defense of trump? LOSER!
Purple Flame Tarot which was already happening. She even said that the 6 committees would continue their investigations. So, nothing has happened yet. By making it “formal” all she has done is to make sure that the 6 committee chairs will have a meeting at some stage to develop articles of impeachment. This would have happened anyway. All she’s done is brought it to the forefront of the news, which is important.
Pamela Gater the house impeaches (votes on articles of impeachment) and the senate then holds a trial to decide whether or not to convict.
@D So many stupid people don’t understand procedure versus hyperbole.
I wanna hear from the whistleblower thanks Mr Kennedy.
While I believe we will, it’s not entirely necessary: Michael Atkinson, the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community (ICIG) — and a tRump appointee — found the WB’s complaint to be both “credible” and “urgent” (as defined under the law); the IG transmitted the complaint to Joseph Maguire, the acting Director of National Intelligence (DNI). Under the law, the DNI “shall” within seven days of receipt forward the complaint to the Senate and House Intelligence Committees. Maguire did not do so. (I believe that obstruction will be remedied.)
Do you think you are the greater arbiter, in these circumstances than the ICIG?? Prolly not. We pay people to do these jobs as our fiduciaries — Let them do their work.
Yes, we need to hear from the whistleblower himself. Forget transcripts released by the WH. We know they’re going to be doctored to muddy the waters.
@Brett Nine You mean the whistle blower that was not even there listening in on the call? I can’t wait to hear it all, especially about the Joe Biden son thing. I think Pocahontas is going to carry the Dems against Trump. This is so much fun.
@John Be Bad why are they so desperate to block the whistle blower complaint then?
That guy is felonious😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭
Wikipedia bruh? Really? You are an embarrassment to the State of Louisiana and we can’t wait until you’re gone!
Better Vote him out or he’s gonna keep comin’ back just like an old Vampire! As is more than half the Senate! All of those Dinosaurs need to go! Especially Moscow Mitch! Can you imagine how terrible it will be for our Democratic President to have to deal with Him Again??!!! Shame on Kentucky! We’ve got to have term limits. It’s gonna be the Only Way to get these Geezers Out! We All need to re-start our Blue Wave Campaign again too! #Blue Wave
@S H He just gets Pity Vote’s in his State! Smdh
bruh? Yeah, you sound soooo articulate.
@John Be Bad I’ll surprise you every time.
@ElSmusso The Ted Kennedys have their place in history too. Right?
These Republicans love to lie gaslight and avoid questions.
They are a rot on this country.
NEED TO BE SQUASHED LIKE THE COCKROACHES THAT THEY ARE
You just literally described your own party!!
@Aaron Weiser the party that he never mentionef. As usual, people like you hear thinga
Sen. Kennedy sounds just like Foghorn Leghorn! I say ,I say…
He sounded like Michael Cowen when he said “who?”
@CHARLES SCOTT No. That’s Chickenist!
LOL! Thanks for the laugh. 🙂
haha yup
We are in the process of ending the Trump Crime Family Syndicate, sending the Don and his kids to Prison.
Yea, someone who has been in DC only 32 months is more corrupt than the career politicians who tell you HE’S corrupt?? Good SHEEPLE.
That’s the Only Kennedy I cannot stomach!! His voice alone is like scratching a chalkboard. Like a cat in heat He screeches!
And the screeches sound worse when he implicates your man Biden whose campaign is now beginning to implode.
Unfinished puberty.
The Republicans trying to say that this is just a continuation. The trump administration wont be able to stonewall the investigations any more
THE END IS NEAR FOR TRUMP/REPUBLIKKKLANS
Why not? They have been pretty successful so far. I don’t see why they would fail on this one, they already grabbed the whole thing by the horns and turned it back against Biden, and not only that, now they’re going to release a “”transcript”” of the conversation, which, much like William Barr did, will muddy the waters so that when the whistleblower complaint comes out, it will be too little too late.
Number one , stop violating the law and give the House Committees the evidence and testimonies they’ve subpoena! Number two , the false equivalency is there was no bank robbery, the money was ascribed to Ukraine before it was released as aid.
Wake up john, do your work, you are paid by the people and not trump!
Ask Kennedy why the Senate hasn’t looked into it. He would likely be embarrassed to answer.
He is as convoluted in his reasoning as Rudy Juliani OMG 😲 makes my ears hurt 😢
I will NEVER vote republican again.
WELCOME TO THE SUNLIGHT !!
I dont think you ever did before.
This mouth-breather is trying so hard to confuse the subject.
Good Lord who in the heck voted for this huckleberry ?
THE RACIST REPUBLIKKKLANS OF THE CONFEDERATE COUNTRY OF LOUISIANA

So someone went into a line for hours and then got in to a voting booth and then they voted for this character? what were they thinking?
