Today’s hearing. 3 of 4 witnesses have firsthand knowledge

In 1973 the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Art Buchwald wrote this handy list of excuses for Nixon backers during the Watergate scandal. You'd think trump backers are reading this same list of excuses. LOL!!



1. Everyone does it.
2. What about Chappaquiddick?
3. A President can’t keep track of everything his staff does.
4. The press is blowing the whole thing up.
5. Whatever Nixon did was for national security.
6. The Democrats are sore because they lost the election.
7. Are you going to believe a rat like John Dean or the president of the United States?
8. Wait till all the facts come out.
9. What about Chappaquiddick?
10. If you impeach Nixon, you get Agnew.
11. The only thing wrong with Watergate is they got caught.
12. What about Daniel Ellsberg stealing the Pentagon Papers?
13. It happens in Europe all the time.
14. People would be against Nixon no matter what he did.
15. I’d rather have a crook in the White House than a fool.
16. LBJ used to read FBI reports every night.
17. What’s the big deal about finding out what your opposition is up to?
18. The president was too busy running the country to know what was going on.
19. What about Chappaquiddick?
20. People that live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
21. McGovern would have lost anyway.
22. Maybe the Committee for the Re-Election of the President when a little too far, but they were just a bunch of eager kids.
23. I’m not for breaking the law, but sometimes you have to do it to save the country.
24. Nixon made a mistake. He’s only human.
25. Do you realize what Watergate is doing to the dollar abroad?
26. What about Harry Truman and the deep freeze scandal?
27. Franklin D. Roosevelt did a lot of worse things.
28. I’m sick and tired of hearing about Watergate and so is everyone else.
29. This thing should be tried in the courts and not on TV.
30. When Nixon gives his explanation of what happened there are going to be a lot of people in this country with egg on their faces.
31. My country right or wrong.
32. What about Chappaquiddick?
33. I think the people who make all this fuss about Watergate should be shot.
34. If the Democrats had the money they would have done the same thing.
35. I never did trust Haldeman and Ehrlichman.
36. If you say one more word about Watergate I’ll punch you in the nose.
A. If the person is bigger than you: “If you say one more word about Watergate I’m leaving this house.”B. If it’s your own house and the person is bigger than you: “What about Chappaquiddick?”

Who did this Vindman report his concerns to? His immediate Commander or someone outside his Chain of Command, ms/mr davik62?

Former independent counsel Ken Starr, who led the prosecution during former President Bill Clinton’s impeachment in the 1990s, blasted the House Democrats’ inquiry into President Donald Trump, describing it as a “coup d’etat.”

He added that the current inquiry is “far removed” from the Watergate scandal that ensnared former President Richard Nixon, ultimately leading to his resignation.

If Vindman wants to deal with with foreign leaders, he can run for president.

Trump's actions were personal and not in the interest of the United States.


Were they wvit? For all you know he was concerned about national security. Just like Obama's administration when they started spying and investigating Trump and those working for him.

Vice President Mike Pence’s national security adviser issued a statement on Nov. 19 disputing his subordinate Jennifer Williams’s claims that the president’s call with Ukraine was “unusual.”

Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg noted that he had listened in on the July 25 call between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and felt that “nothing wrong or improper” was mentioned during that call.

“As an exceedingly proud member of President Trump’s administration and as a 34-year highly experienced combat veteran who retired with the rank of Lieutenant General in the Army, I heard nothing wrong or improper on the call. I had and have no concerns,” he said.

He confirmed that Williams did not report any of her concerns to him or to any other members of the vice president’s staff despite testifying about them on Tuesday.

“Ms. Williams was also on the call, and as she testified, she never reported any personal or professional concerns to me, her direct supervisor, regarding the call,” he said in the statement. “In fact, she never reported any personal or professional concerns to any other member of the Vice President’s staff, including our Chief of Staff and the Vice President.”
