U.S. lawmakers hear from 'corroborating' witness in Trump impeachment probe
2019-10-27
(Reuters) - A senior U.S. diplomat told lawmakers on Saturday he did not know whether President Donald Trump had withheld aid for Ukraine to force an investigation of a political rival, two sources said, even as Democrats said he corroborated evidence gathered in their impeachment probe.

Philip Reeker, the acting assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs, spent about eight hours with the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs, Intelligence and Oversight committees behind closed doors at the U.S. Capitol.

Reeker told lawmakers that in the June-August period he had no knowledge of the possibility that U.S. security aid to Ukraine may have withheld to pressure Kiev to launch investigations that could have helped Trump’s 2020 re-election bid, as some have alleged, according to the sources familiar with the matter.

#4  And then patriots of the actual United States take out power, water and shoot up food trucks attempting to feed the Democrat cesspits...strongholds in their nice urban cities. In two weeks all food is gone and they start eating rats. A week later the attempted mass breakout ends when the front ranks are annihilated by concentrated rifle fire. They start to eat each other, disease killing many as water becomes quite scarce. Fires destroy much of the cities. 3 months later, the last remnants of the democrats are cleared by volunteers from the Deplorables.

#3   Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire.

Old news and quite a bit more is known today about the genesis of efforts to take down Trump (most likely posted at RB at the time). The MSM media seems to have conveniently and completely forgotten about this 1/11/2017 article. Maybe Barr and Durham will flesh out the finer details of all this in the criminal investigation.

#1  The Congress will vote to impeach. The Senate will veto. Pres. Donald Trump will be re-elected. The Dems will protest, declare the election invalid, and establish a separate government.

An ex-offico president and cabinet will then be appointed. The newly appointed president will be known by her initials and will immediately begin work to establish a new 'Green' constitution along with a more gender and diversely appropriate national flag. Congressional sessions will held via on-line websites and twitter. All servers will of the "home brew" type and will be managed via a no-bid contract with Platte River Networks of Denver, CO. Screen names will be gov't approved (sorry, “Pierre Delecto” is already taken).

Civilian ownership of firearms and home schooling will be immediately outlawed. The New York Stock Exchange will be declared racist and illegal, and be forced to close. Onerous fees will be charged for anyone owning a deadly gasoline powered combustion engine. Huge financial donations from unknown sources will fund the new government until new and different money is printed. With the CBC leading the way, illegals from across the globe, federal employees, the AFL-CIO, NEA, along with disaffected current and retired senior military officers, Google, Shep Smith, the FBI and CIA, will flock to offer allegiance and party membership. The media will gleefully follow.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will no longer be needed and abolished. All personal income will be provided by the US Gov't and 'guaranteed', officially making everyone a government employee (no downside here, they make considerably more anyway).

The new government (and the Pope) will declare, electricity, medical care, food, and guaranteed income, all 'human rights' until there is no more.

Foreign travel will be restricted to For Official Use Only (FOUO). Only the rich and famous will be permitted to leave. Restructured passport fees and visas will see to that.

It will be soon be a brave new world.
