Uh-Oh: Fake "Whistleblower" Lied to IG About His Contacts With Adam Schiff
Or, rather, he did not disclose that which must be disclosed.
He attested -- under pain of penalty -- that there were not other contacts he had made about his complaint. That's a lie.Per Catherine Herridge: IC Inspector General told lawmakers the whistleblower did not disclose contact w Schiff/Committee staff - so IG never looked into it. IG “had no knowledge of it”.
— Shannon Bream (@ShannonBream) October 4, 2019
The complainant’s failure to disclose his interactions with Schiff or his staff could put him in legal hot water, as the whistleblower form he submitted requires individuals to disclose "other actions you are taking on your disclosure" under penalty of perjury. An entire page of the whistleblower form is dedicated to collecting information about previous disclosures so the ICIG can take appropriate action in response to the complaint. "I have previously disclosed (or am disclosing) the violations alleged here to (complete all that apply)," the form requires the complainant to attest. The form includes checkboxes for disclosures to other inspectors general, other agencies, the Department of Justice, the Government Accountability Office, the Office of Special Counsel, other executive branch departments, Congress and its respective committees, and media.
The form submitted by the complainant required him to disclose all contacts he had regarding his allegations. If he failed to disclose those interactions with Schiff before filing the complaint, he could be subject to felony false statement charges. https://t.co/QGFh9vNFvC pic.twitter.com/aOXUpotkNl

@RepRatcliffe
Since the ICIG has no evidence whatsoever about the relationship and contacts between the whistleblower and Schiff's staff, the investigation has to get that information from other fact witnesses. Who also happen to be running the investigation.

It would seem to me the next step for the Repub's in the House is to send a criminal referral of the WB's potential felony to the DOJ either directly or through the ICAG although I wouldn't trust the ICAG.
Having the DOJ subpoena the WB, Schiff, and his staff would be beautiful. I mean somebody lied, right?

The kicker is that he has nothing to testify about! Anything he says is worthless, because he only said "someone else told me something had happened."
And to be legal for a second, the reason Hearsay testimony is tossed out is because there is no way to tell if the statement is true or false. Of course someone else said this to you - but was this second person lying or telling the truth? We don't know, they're not here to question, we don't even know who they are. That is why hearsay is worthless.

Congress is supposed to be forwarded urgent whistleblower complaints as their need to know, once an IG has decided that redress is only possible by sacrificing classification for addressing the complaint.
In this case, the weiner-blower made the decision for themselves and jumped ALL administrative review.
It's ridiculous for the IG or the DNI to say that this was all above board. It wasn't.

Let me put some learning on everyone...
Withholding aid for the Ukrainians not investigating 2016 is NOT the same as withholding aid for not investigating Vice President Kinnock and his drug-huffing spawn. Because Barr and company are digging on the former, the strategy is make people believe it is the latter. That's what every bit of this is about.

"I weep for you," the Walrus said:
"I deeply sympathize."
With sobs and tears he sorted out
Those of the largest size,
Holding his pocket-handkerchief
Before his streaming eyes.

"You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?'
But answer came there none--
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd eaten every one.

"The probably accurate suspicion that the media and the Democrats would behave as badly - or just almost as badly - as many Republicans and media conservatives are behaving now isn't an excuse. But it is part of an explanation. It took a long time to get us here, and pretty much everyone deserves some portion of blame (including me).
I'll write more about that another time, but suffice it to say, I'm dedicating a big chunk of the rest of my life to trying to do something about it.

I'll go with: The whistleblower probably approached staff (probably even already well known to them) with a juicy tidbit he thought they could use. In that sense he is real. He was directed to the left preferred shady law firm for laundering this into something usable. The law firm added to the tidbit all the things Schiff needed to add to make it a juicy media story. Then it was given back to the whistleblower to file.

All apologies to the guy on the bus on Seinfeld, Ukraine was weak. They were a relatively new country being attacked by Putin. Our defense was the only game in town--because you can't cash European concern to buy weapons.
So, Washington profiteers moved in and told Ukraine just how they were going to have to play the game to get people in Washington rich in exchange for a modicum of protection.
I would be that much surprised if the reputation of "rampant corruption" in Ukraine isn't part of just reflection on Washington's participation in it + Russion-ish oligarchs.
There seems to be this feeling of a coverup that the Dems practically ran Ukraine and squeezed them whenever they were short on cash.

1st question, recusal: recusal is a big joke, there *are* no actual rules to force it on Congressmen or anyone else, but Republicans do it because Democrats and their partners in the MSM screech about it nonstop.
Sessions could have told those demanding he recuse to STFU, and nothing would have happened. But he folded like a cheap lawn chair. Nunes recused because Ryan forced him to, because Ryan was playing for the other team.

Posted by: Lizzy at October 04, 2019 04:17 PM (bDqIh)
Because Democrats run the entire House. Each committee has an odd number of members, of which the majority are Dems. Each Committee has a Dem chairman who sets the agenda, the timeline, witnesses, etc. And Nancy is Queen of it all.
This is why this morning I was headshaking at the poster who was screaming that the Republicans should be calling all these people in to be witnesses. The Republican's have almost no power to call witnesses, unless the Dem chair agrees.
Does anyone think Schiff is going to actually allow witnesses that counter an argument for Impeachment or even are going to present facts?
This is why Nancy declared an impeachment inquiry without a vote, so while it's illigitimate, it's still going on no matter how much the republican's protest.
The Democrats aren't interested in rule of law, traditions, or House Rules. They own the House, they make the rules, daily.

I am so tired of no one even trying to enforce the rule on the Dems because it's known they won't follow them. We need to Alinsky#4/apply the broken window enforcement on them -- which is why I'm glad Trump has skipped recusal and gone straight to demanding Schiff resign. Alinsky #4 bitchezzz.

And I got on my knees
And begged you not to leave
Because I'd go beserk
Well you left me anyhow
And then the days got worse and worse
And now you see I've gone
Completely out of my mind
And they're coming to take me away ha-haaa
They're coming to take me away ho-ho hee-hee ha-haaa
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see those nice young men
In their clean white coats
And they're coming to take me away ha-haaa
You thought it was a joke
And so you laughed
You laughed when I said
That losing you would make me flip my lid
Right?
You know you laughed
I heard you laugh, you laughed
You laughed and laughed and then you left
But now you know I'm utterly mad
And they're coming to take me away ha-haaa
They're coming to take me away ho-ho hee-hee ha-haaa
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to take me away ha-haaa
I cooked your food
I cleaned your house
And this is how you pay me back
For all my kind unselfish, loving deeds
Ha! Well you just wait
They'll find you yet and when they do
They'll put you in the A.S.P.C.A.
You mangy mutt
And they're coming to take me away ha-haaa
They're coming to take me away ha-haaa ho-ho hee-hee
To the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see those nice young men
In their clean white coats
And they're coming to take me away
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to take me away ha-haaa!

One of the goals, I'm sure. Well, maybe not sure - they're all insane - but it will be an outcome.
Just like the way they treat Trump's appointees. If they can, they'll derail his nominees and impeach him. If they can't, though, they'll ice him because no one will want to work for him or talk to him on the phone.
They keep failing at the primary goal, but they're doing quite well on secondary objectives.

Oligarch refers to a member of an oligarchy. As monarchies are run by a monarch, so oligarchies are run by oligarchs.
In economics, you have oligopolies, and oligopsonies, as well as monopolies and monopsonies.
An oligarchy is a small cabal of the powerful. When they get together and control a market, you have an oligopoly.

So, Washington profiteers moved in and told Ukraine just how they were going to have to play the game to get people in Washington rich in exchange for a modicum of protection.
I would be that much surprised if the reputation of "rampant corruption" in Ukraine isn't part of just reflection on Washington's participation in it + Russion-ish oligarchs.

An Oligarch is a member of an Oligarchy, which is a system where a handful of wealthy individuals or families run the government for their benefit, using the law as a weapon to smother all competition and give them special perks.
The economics of fascism, the modern Chinese system, and the modern Left could be said to be a form of curated oligopoly (oligarchic monopoly), where the entire economy is basically run by a handful of chosen winners in each industry, all of whom are Party loyalists.

The "Full Beria" is hard to accomplish. They not only offed him, they purged him from the record. To known subscribers of the Soviet encyclopedia, they mailed out a razor, a piece of transparent tape and an entry about "Bering Strait" - and instructions to excise the prior entry on Beria and tape in the replacement.

Vice President Pence urged President Trump not to release a memo detailing his call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky this week amid a scandal over Trump's efforts to persuade the Ukrainian leader to direct an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden.
The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that Pence fell in line and ultimately supported the report's public release, but privately counseled Trump against the matter when it was first raised. The White House eventually released the rough transcript, according to the Journal, because Trump felt that Republicans were losing the messaging battle in the press. - The Hill

Dig it, I would never have believed the stuff we've found out about Hillary unless it had come bubbling up from the swamp.
If I'd heard that she was using her office as SecState to personally enrich herself by extorting foreign leaders and businesses, all the while hiding her dirty dealings in a secret communication channel that was actually 100% readable to US enemies, I would have said This is the sort of thing that makes us look like lunatics, now stop this raving and solve some real problems.
I never believed a word Hillary said and considered her utterly cynical and corrupt, but I never dreamed she was total banana republic on us.
I was clenched up over the idea of her becoming president the moment she announced, but I was nowhere close to imagining how dire the choice was.

And to be fair, I heard about the irregularity of Nancy's declaration first from Mark Levin. He said early this week that what the Democrats were doing was counter to almost three centuries of Congressional rules. Impeachment should be difficult, as you should not be able to do what the Dems are doing on a daily basis to the President.
He said he hoped the president's lawyers and the Republicans were listening to him.

Nancy Pelosi apparently decided that least bad solution to her dilemma was to not schedule a vote to convene an impeachment inquiry (so there in fact isn't one at this time) and allow scheduling of a series of cheesy public relations stunts that are falsely labeled an impeachment inquiry.
And the Democrats still look like idiots. This non-process resembles impeachment closely enough to cause the damage Pelosi had feared.

Not surprised - Pence was advising what was the conventional wisdom of every politician on both sides, and given his background I would expect him to be cautious and conventional. Conversations with foreign leaders are to be kept private, no one ever broke that rule.
But this was the response that Schiff was counting on. Schiff could not imagine the thinking of someone like Donald Trump, who can throw all conventional wisdom and conventional advice out the window - and be Absolutely Right.

maybe but then you have to wonder, how this relates to the phone volunteering?
You know nothing of the caller awaiting you when you answer the phone at a hotline, however, you know exactly what you are responding to when you read, copy, paste, and reply to a comment.
Hanging up when you receive an unwanted dirty call is one thing Responding to a comment net even addressed to you is more like deciding to ring the caller back and discuss his original call.
Not sure the hotline analogy holds here.

What they've ignored is that Trump was speaking English, Zelensky Russian, and after every sentence there would have been a pause while the translators relayed the message, and then that sentence would have been repeated in the appropriate language. It's also why there is not a word for word transcript of the actual conversation - half of it would have to be in Russian.

The problem is the whistleblower is essentially beyond prosecution, because he isn't swearing to anything falsifiable. He's swearing to what he heard someone else said. This is one of the main reasons they never allowed second hand info before. Not only is it less reliable, it's open to abuse. Like, this, for instance.

Young Ones was so terrible that it was awesome.
Do like The IT Crowd though.

That is why I was wondering if it was good or I just happened upon it at t time that I would find it to be good.
There are lots of shows like that. As a rule, never go back and watch the shows you liked as a kid, until you are in you 80s.

The parties still run the House with the Speaker directing the parliamentary process nuts and bolts absent much of the partisan bullshchtick.

Too bad there is no penalty for demonrat lying - it's assumed to be in a good cause.

USA Today says that's about enough for 1.38 seconds in an AR-15. .85 seconds if you have a bump stock.

No. They don't have control over dick. Their functionaries at best, courtesans at worst.

I simply adored the Young Ones. It was too brilliant, but I guess the timing was a perfect parallel to my life at the time. I still quote to this day.

Yup. Just recently I reached the point where Gunsmoke is good again. Watch them with my Dad when I visit. His dementia has him mostly noncommunicative (talking - he still follows conversation and laughs at funny things), but we both enjoy watching TV shows like Bob Newhart.

Now, their news apprentices are the leftiest of the left, I figure because they are the top grads of the most respected schools, who compete with Patrice Lumumba. And the editorial page staff are, two out of three, hard line Nevah-Trumpahs of the old water, plus Drunk Before Noonan, "simply not our type, Thurston." So there is an awful lot of "assigned journalism" going on over there. It's really a lot more shocking than the Times.

Its worse than that.. You squeeze Ukraine for chump change. Then you get the US and World Bank to float loans to Ukraine and take a big chunk of that for the real big bucks.
