Republican congressional leaders accused Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Democrats of rigging the impeachment scheme after news broke that Schiff was in contact with the whistleblower before the complaint against President Donald Trump was filed. The report from the New York Times claimed that Schiff received an “early account by the future whistleblower” days before the person filed the complaint accusing Trump of presidential misconduct. The report seemed to be confirmed by a Schiff spokesman, who said: “Like other whistle-blowers have done before and since under Republican and Democratic-controlled committees, the whistle-blower contacted the committee for guidance on how to...

However, the Intelligence Community Whistleblower...

Robert Ellsberg speaks on whistleblowing, truth-telling and the Pentagon Papers Oct 2, 2019 by Heidi Schlumpf JusticePolitics The autumn of 1969 has been on Robert Ellsberg's mind lately, as the 50th anniversary of a life-changing request from his father approaches. A half century ago, as a 13-year-old, Ellsberg agreed to help his dad photocopy documents from a government report he had worked on. Those documents, which came to be known as the Pentagon Papers, revealed the United States' role in the build-up to the Vietnam War and the lies told to the American public and to Congress about U.S. actions...

Former White House Deputy Assistant Fred Fleitz took a victory lap on Chris Cuomo after the CNN anchor was “pretty hard” on his contention that California Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff likely knew about the whistleblower complaint before it was filed. Fleitz made his argument on Tuesday night’s “Cuomo Prime Time,” receiving considerable pushback from Cuomo. (VIDEO) Drawing on his own experience with whistleblower complaints, Fleitz told Cuomo he thought this one “was very unusual.” When I saw this one, I thought it was very unusual, not just that it was extremely well written, but it had legal references and footnotes....

President Trump and his supporters now have at least one unifying, if inaccurate, message against the impeachment inquiry. It is, they say, an unconstitutional coup. Mr. Trump posted that conspiratorial message on Twitter on Tuesday night, saying, “As I learn more and more each day, I am coming to the conclusion that what is taking place is not an impeachment, it is a COUP, intended to take away the Power of the People.” Early Wednesday, the president tweeted out a ready-for-TV video made by his re-election campaign, repeating the “coup” claim against a backdrop of grainy shots of House Democrats...

The unidentified whistleblower at the CIA makes scores of references to Rudolph W Giuliani in the complaint against president Trump with most of the information coming from Mr. Giuliani's own public statements and news reports. Whistleblower complaint's typically contain inside information not known to investigators until they are tipped off. In the case of Mr. Trump's lawyer, who is a private citizen, congressional Democrats could have gathered most of the whistleblower's tidbits about Mr. Giuliani from the internet. ...

October 2, 2019 The Honorable Eliot L. Engel, Chairman Committee on Foreign Affairs House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Dear Mr. Chairman: I am writing to strongly object to the abdication of the Foreign Affairs Committee's oversight jurisdiction to the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. It will damage the credibility of our committee and minimize our Members' expertise in the exercise of that jurisdiction. On September 27, 2019, you and two other chairmen sent a letter to the Secretary of State claiming to "schedule" without subpoena the depositions of five State Department officials to "be conducted jointly by the Committee...

For Chris Matthews, impeaching and removing Donald Trump was now a given. The Hardball host on Wednesday moved on to impeaching and removing Mike Pence. Matthews repeatedly pressed his new obsession with Democratic senators and liberal journalists. Talking to Chris Coons, he demanded, “The Vice President now, according to reporting as of tonight, seems to be engaged in the same thing Trump was engaged in, which is basically shaking down a foreign leader to get dirt on a political candidate, the candidate you're supporting, Joe Biden. Shouldn't he be the subject of an impeachment inquiry as well at this point?”

And just like that they are gone and out of the news cycle. What's happened to them? There's failed FBI head James Comey, the man to end Trump's presidency Robert Mueller, two court jesters John Brennan and James Clapper, former president and womanizer Slick Willie Clinton, and sex-crazed politician-connected celebrity-connected and snuffed out in jail Jeffrey Epstein. There are probably a few others who have seemed to drop off the edge of the Earth. Makes one wonder!

There, in the German Criminal Code, between the laws on murder and abandonment, sit paragraphs 218 and 219. They pertain to — and criminalize — abortion in Germany. On Saturday, activists will be taking to the streets to demand the paragraphs’ removal as part of a global abortion rights demonstration. Sarah Thibol, activist with the feminist organization Frauen*Kollektiv in Cologne, is one of many planning to protest. Her personal goal is “that women realize abortions are not legal in German(y). So many people are surprised the first time they hear that.” According to German law laid out in paragraph 218,...
