The State Department’s been fighting presidents since long before Trump

House Democrats are grilling a stream of disgruntled career diplomats in a basement hearing room of the Capitol. The hearings are supposed to be secret, but Democrats leak snippets of the testimony daily. They are hoping it will add up to a case for impeaching President Trump.

So far, all the testimony actually proves is these State Department diplomats think they, not Trump, ought to be running foreign policy. Never mind impeachment. The most pressing constitutional issue is who decides the nation’s foreign policy, the president or the permanent bureaucracy.

House Democrats are accusing Trump of offering Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a quid pro quo: dirt on Joe Biden in exchange for nearly $400 million in aid. Trump’s July 25 phone call with Zelensky is the subject of the hearings, but these witnesses have no first-hand knowledge.

I don’t like the weasel words out of McConnell today. I DONT TRUST the deep state OR anyone in congress. And they DONT CARE that we know that we are not a free country anymore, not really. They want Trump out and they are working on blackmailing enough Rs to make it happen.

Partner, we agree on all your points.

Our government is corrupt to the core and we have 3 million employees in our Government right now. We did not know this number of employees in our government. Now we see why we have the $5 trillion in Government spending and we have over $4 Trillion coming in the IRS. It seems like we will have a deficit forever.

It is terrible what has happened in our great country.

We call him Mitch McConJob in Freeper language.
