Republican Counsel Misquotes Former Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal | All In | MSNBC
Is this the “4-dimensional chess game” that people say Trump is playing? Weak sauce.
It’s 11 dimensions String Theory Chess! Trump is a quantum President. He is everywhere at the same time and entangled with Putin.
@Tommy Vasec Haha.. Funny description!
Little donnie hasn’t even mastered tic-tac-toe.
He certainly could not play Chess. That requires intelligence.
I just thought it was funny when his defense is like “look right here… exactly next to the perfect description of Trump’s emoluments clause and nepotism violations.” “We just wanted to remind the American public that this is also happening on top of the treason and bribery we’re arguing about here.”
Omit the facts, keep the hypothetical part… Ummmm
Original statement: “Russia, if you’re listening, please release the emails.”
Republicans quoting the statement: “…if…please.”
😆😅
Ro G
They are beyond shameless.
Ro G 😂👍🏻
😂😂
Russia, if you are listening, take me out of troubles.
It’s like what Barr did to the Mueller Report. Take half the text out so it now says the opposite of what was written. And then… A-ha! Gotcha!
I’m sure the “transcript” of the “perfect call” is much the same. It’s bad enough as it is. Un-doctored by the Trump administration, it’s probably worse.
Neal Katyal should have tweeted in real time to correct him and get an apology like Melania did!!!! Neal should be called as a witness since the Republicans invoked his name! Ha!He could also clarify the DOJ Rule for everyone since he wrote the official eval of it!
Makes me wonder what is behind the ellipses in Trump’s transcripts. Nixon tried getting away with that bullsh*t too. But they didn’t fall for his edited transcripts of the tapes offer.
Those ellipses in Trump’s transcript were the words that LtCol Vindman tried (twice, I think) to have put back in the call logs, as they had been left out. I’m sure you can find his testimony online
Makes you wonder what they “ellipsed-out” of that [not a real] “transcript” …hmm.
Meanwhile…..
Trump has even used our own military to prop up his failing golf resort in Scotland.
Trump could literally be impeached on his egregious violations of the emoluments clause alone.
Not only have the U.S. and foreign governments spent money at properties owned by Trump, but the Trump’s own political campaign and affiliated political committees have also spent about $16.8 million at his businesses since he launched his 2016 bid, according to an analysis of federal election spending records. Trump is literally using his own campaign’s money to line his pockets with millions. It’s basically the same crime he committed with his fake charity foundation.
Republican political campaigns and PACs have spent just under $1.8 million at Trump-owned businesses so far this year in the 2020 election cycle, according to the latest examination of spending by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, based on spending reports to the Federal Election Commission.
Most of that has been spent by the Trump campaign ($1.3 million), the Republican National Committee ($123,000) and the Great America political action committee ($104,000), records show, the center reported.
The Washington Post explained in a story in July how such Trump campaign events create a “two-fer” benefiting Trump. When he holds a fundraiser at one of his properties, not only do donors contribute to his campaign, his business collects funds from his campaign for space rental and catering, some of which ultimately ends up in his pocket.
But 48 Republican members of Congress also spent campaign money at Trump businesses through their campaign and affiliated committees, according to the center. Some of the top spenders for the 2020 cycle included campaigns for former Rep. Sean Duffy of Wisconsin ($21,000), who resigned last month, Mike Pence’s brother, Indiana Rep. Greg Pence ($14,000), Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio ($12,000) and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California ($8,000).
Spending will continue to grow as the election nears. Senate Republicans are hosting a two-day “Save the Senate” retreat at Trump’s Washington, D.C., hotel early next month, according to The Intercept. Room rates during that time will be nearly triple the average, according to the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
The top preferred businesses by spenders were Trump’s Washington hotel, followed by his Florida resort Mar-a-Lago, according to the center. Trump’s Doral golf resort in Miami was in fifth place for the amount of incoming campaign expenditures.
Traitor Trump is making a fortune while fleecing America and violating the Constitution. And his supporters defend this by saying he donates his presidential salary of 400k a year, so that makes it okay for him to fleece the American people out of tens of millions of dollars since he’s been in office. His presidential salary amounts to slave wages compared to what he’s actually making illegally by using the office of the presidency. If this doesn’t make your blood boil, then you’re probably a Trump cultist.
and now he’s cutting back on food benefits for the poor.
@makesmefeellikeatalltree Which are mostly in red states. Repubs have been voting against their own interests for decades.
Just when you think they can’t stoop any lower…
Republicans you cant even tell the truth in the hearing what a bunch of clowns you dont deserve to be in power your just a joke
GOP mastered the art of the dark force, only selectively seeing and hearing what suit them
Even their lawyers lie in congress now.
Sadly, it’s just an omission. But it’s certainly not the truth, *the whole truth* and nothing but the truth
And we are surprised by this??? the republican party is being run by Russia. The republicans know that they can only win a national election by cheating, like they did in 2016.
We haven’t had a legitimate GOP potus since Bush Sr. That proves our democracy has been broken for decades. And that’s just the presidential office!
Yet no one says peep about all the unqualified people in Trumps government or the unqualified judges chosen by Trump that are being put in courts.
Trump is … innocent.
Full quote: Trump is NOT innocent.
Let me quote selectively from this book I hate, which makes the case for the impeachment of my dear leader Donald Trump. And don’t you dare read the rest of the book!
Neal is right, their defence is so bad and PATHETIC.
Lying by omission is a particularly insidious way of pushing untruth. And it’s frequently relied on by Fox “news” pundits and the GOP.
I thought that didn’t sound like Neil when I heard that liar misquote him.
Love how they left out parentheses so the ellipsis wouldn’t appear as conspicuous.
Also isn’t that republicans intentional omission —falsely commenting at a congressional venue. Cheaters ain’t making america great
