Nowhere to run...

Journal by fustakrakich

My discomfort in the last few years, first with Russiagate and now with Ukrainegate and impeachment, stems from the belief that the people pushing hardest for Trump’s early removal are more dangerous than Trump. Many Americans don’t see this because they’re not used to waking up in a country where you’re not sure who the president will be by nightfall. They don’t understand that this predicament is worse than having a bad president.

Here's looking at you, DNC!

When is she going to announce?

    Those are based on testimony, not recordings. All the good whistleblowers from the past came with real documentation. That's what we need here.

      A Memorandum of a Telephone Conversation.· (TELCON) is not a verbatim transcript of a
      discussion. The text in this document records the notes and recollections of Situation Room Duty
      "Officers and-NSC policy staff assigned t_o listen.and memorialize the conversation in written form
      as the conversation takes place. A numper of factors can affect 'the accuracy of the reco�d,
      including poor telecommunications connections and variations in accent and/or interpretation.
      The word "inaudible" is used to indifate portions of a conversation that the notetaker was unable
      to hear.

      It sounds like the same thing as a court record where someone types in what is being said as well as they can in shorthand.
