'Toontime: The Unraveling

Update: A second whistle blower from the 'deep state' has emerged.  This staffer from the National Security Council reportedly has first-hand knowledge of the now infamous call to Ukraine's President by the Malignant One to ask "a favor" in return for release of previously appropriated military aid. He corroborates the first whistle blower's complaint.  The second whistle blower has contacted the Inspector General for the Intelligence Community, but has yet to file a formal complaint.

It is worth repeating that a "quid pro quo" is not necessary for a criminal violation of federal election laws, merely a "solicitation" is enough. Don Veto's statements to the Ukrainian president is beyond that legal standard, and could even be reasonably construed as attempted extortion. The first complaint mentions six people with first-hand knowledge of the conversation with President Zelensky as well as a verbatim transcript created as SOP by the Situation Room staff. The reconstruction of the call released by the White House is not complete.  It is now very likely that Trump will be impeached by the Democratic majority in the House of Representatives.  Hold the vote formalizing the inquiry Ms. Nancy, you have the votes, and the regime will be deprived of another argument in court for not responding to Congress' subpoenas.

On another front, and potentially more damaging, is the news that an enormous cache of financial documents from Deutsche Bank relating to Donald Trump's business dealings has been turned over to the FBI.  According to the NYT on Tuesday, a son of William Broeksmit, a senior risk executive of the bank, found a trove of bank records--including minutes of board meetings, spreadsheets, and financial plans --in his father's email account.  His father died of suicide in 2014.  The son met House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff at a party. Val Broeksmit reportedly demanded money for sharing the documents with his committee, but was refused. Schiff subsequently subpoenaed Broeksmit for the documents. Shortly thereafter Broeksmit turned them over to the FBI.


{05.10.19} We know that Don Veto, but apparently the rubes thought you would grow out of it while shouldering the burdens of the nation's highest office.  Instead, you only continue to demonstrate your unfitness for it's heavy fiduciary responsibilities.  Your criminal behavior began well before occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, however--your dad set you to military school in an effort to set you straight.  The Houdini-like escape from the Mueller investigation only heightened your narcissistic sense of invulnerability, but the Ukrainian shakedown ("Do us a favor..."; "Potus really wants the deliverable") one day after Mueller testified to Congress about your 2016 collaboration with Russia to illegally influence an election will prove your demise*.  Apparently, you have been relieved of "the humiliating chimera of conscience", but ignoring congressional subpoenas is not going to save you.  If not removed from office because of craven sycophants like Moscow Mitch in the Senate, you will nevertheless be forced to ask for re-election with a red letter "I" imprinted on your forehead in shame and disgrace. History will remember you as the only the third president to bear that distinction, as well as its most corrupt.

*Any bill of impeachment should include, at least, the obstruction of justice charge investigated by Mueller.  Mueller found ample evidence of Don Veto's attempted obstruction of his investigation; the only reason he did not indict him on that charge is because of the Office of Legal Council's unsound policy of not indicting a sitting president.  That policy has no application to an impeachment. The investigative work is already done, and the evidence supporting the charge of record.
