Mr. Nice!: Oct 13, 2005; bone shaking.
soul baking.

Guiliani said that he sent over the documents the state IG took to congress today back in March. For those that weren't keeping up, the State IG came to report about the active smear campaign against biden and yovanovitch coming from the white house. The IG rolled up with an envelope that was given to the state department with a bunch of conspiracy theory nonsense in Trump hotel folders.

So wait, was the IG trolling congress or was he showing up with documents to show the lengths Trump, Pampeo, etc. are going to discredit things?

Check out my edit. Here's a statement from the three chairs:

quote:

Three Chairs Statement on State Department Inspector General Briefing
f t # e
Washington, October 2, 2019
Washington, D.C. (Oct. 2, 2019)� Today, Rep. Eliot L. Engel, the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Rep. Adam Schiff, the Chairman of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, the Chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Reform, released the following statement after committee staff received a briefing from the State Department Inspector General:

�Today, the State Department Inspector General provided an unclassified briefing and documents to House and Senate Committees. The Inspector General believes this matter is urgent in light of the complaint filed by a whistleblower regarding the President�s July 25, 2019, call in which he pressed the Ukrainian President to smear President Trump�s domestic political rival.

�The briefing and documents raise troubling questions about apparent efforts inside and outside the Trump Administration to target specific officials, including former Vice President Joe Biden�s son and then-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Masha Yovanovitch, who was abruptly removed as Ambassador in May after a sustained campaign against her by the President�s agent, Rudy Giuliani.

�The documents provided by the Inspector General included a package of disinformation, debunked conspiracy theories, and baseless allegations in an envelope marked �White House� and containing folders labeled �Trump Hotel.� These documents also reinforce concern that the President and his allies sought to use the machinery of the State Department to further the President�s personal political interests.

�The Inspector General stated that his office interviewed Secretary Pompeo�s Counselor, Thomas Ulrich Brechbuhl, who informed the Inspector General that Secretary Pompeo told him the packet �came over,� and that Brechbuhl presumed it was from the White House.

�Earlier this week, Pompeo attempted to block Brechbuhl, Ambassador Yovanovitch, and other State Department employees from testifying before Congress.

�These documents only underscore the need for the Trump Administration to comply with our requests for documents and interviews.�

Word was that it was about Pompeo punishing people. Instead, it was Giuliani's oppo dossier on Biden, conspiracies, and the Ambassador that made it to Pompeo. State IG decided to enter in because he had given the bullshit to the FBI earlier, and it became congressional-adjacent because they want to interview the fired Ambassador that Rudy got spiked.

It also involves John Solomon, notoriously bad writer on The Hill, giving advance notice to Rudy and Co before his poo poo got published.

Okay, it makes sense now. I saw Raskin earlier and thought he was saying that the IG was trying to sell them a load of poo poo. I get that he was showing them the files to discredit the smears before they happened.

Trump believes this poo poo. He's a loving moron and is genuine in his belief. He still sincerely does not think Obama was born in Hawaii.

Man, this is a loving good origin story.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-10-02/trump-s-impeachment-saga-stems-from-a-political-hit-job-gone-bad

This whole thing started because Peter Schweizer (Clinton Cash writer) and Steve Bannon tried to do a Clinton Cash-type thing against Biden, funded by Rebekah Mercer, called Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends. The whole concept was to put the Hunter Biden poo poo into conservative media, make it allege shady-but-not illegal poo poo, then get it eventually picked up by mainstream media. Then, you get the *mainstream media* to tar the Bidens as shady, without the "conservative attack" fingerprints on it. Bam, you have another Hillary.

The main problem was that it wasn't really a Biden book - Biden was just a part of who was mentioned in the book and it was just his son. So, the poo poo in the book swirled around conservative media, as projected, but never really leaped past that point. It was still just another "conservative attack" not worth covering.

It all went wrong because Trump is impatient and watches Fox News too much. WHY WON'T THE NEW YORK TIMES COVER THIS LIKE HANNITY ON FOX??? RUDY, GO INVESTIGATE IT.

He's going to get impeached because he watches Fox News too much. It's fuckin great.

Crakkerjakk: Mar 14, 2016

I'm still deeply skeptical that he'll be convicted by the senate. Maybe this time is different (and Lord knows he's done plenty of impeachable poo poo). But I don't see why the political calculus for Republicans has changed, and without that changing I have no idea why they'd choose to throw the most popular figure to their voters out, regardless of the facts.

He did comics that were fringe crazy but not to where he is now. 4Chan started doing light photoshop jobs on his stuff to make it overtly racist, he got butthurt about it, but now they're his prime audience.

I rewatched Veronica Mars. At the end of season 2, which was filmed in 2005 I believe, the titular character is going on a trip to New York and says "I'm bringing my pepper spray in case I run into that Trump character".

11 years before his election it was an open secret that he was a gross rapist/perv. We still elected him. :negative:
