Have you even read the report ?  I wonder if this guy did either.  Simply because the media keeps pushing that Trump was attempting to see if the Ukraine would investigate Joe Biden it was more on Hunter Biden's business transaction.  The only way that ties into Joe is that Joe threatened to withhold $1 billion in U.S. funding to the Ukraine for his son's business deal.  That's it plain and simple.  There is just as much evidence in Russia helping with the 2016 election.  The left screams they helped, they helped, but offer not one bit of tangible proof or example that they did other than by a left wing news opinion piece saying that's what happened.  Well, guess what the Mueller report was a big bag of nothing.  So here we are all over again.  Either poop or get off the pot.  Quit wasting time, and call these witnesses before an impeachment process and not an investigation for impeachment process.  It's not going to happen.  The only thing that is happening is the Socialists are attempting to portray Trump as in the wrong, when in fact it was Hunter Biden and his father who used taxpayer money to fast forward the Ukrainian deal and the deal in China.  Trump simply wanted it investigated by the Ukraine, because the State Department and the Justice Department aren't doing anything about it.  

Today I was talking to a friend who religiously watches CNN for whatever reason.  I said I see the Democrats think they're going to be able to impeach President Trump again, and started laughing about it.  This incensed him to the point of screaming that Trump was guilty of meddling in the 2020 election with the Ukraine.  I asked him where he got his information.  He said it's been on CNN for the past two weeks.  He said that even Trump had admitted he asked for the Ukraine to become involved in the election.  When has he ever said that, because I have never seen or heard him say that in all of the research that I have done on this subject.  Since I know CNN is a fake news source I wasn't going to look at any of their sources.  Even YouTube does not have any such video or recording of him asking for that help.

Your friend is probably brain numb for watching that mess day in and day out

I think it should be investigated.  We all know that the Mueller investigation would have never started had it not been for the DNC paying for the Steele Dossier, which kept an open investigation including wire taps on the Trump campaign.  Of course the left sees no wrong doing with that aspect.  Yet, if President Trump wants to get to the bottom of the witch hunt he's in the wrong.  The left is pathetic.

This is an investigation into the actions of our intelligence community, and Russia, prior to, and shortly after the 2016 election.  There’s the appearance of wrong doing.  It should be investigated.  Heaven knows we’ve investigated the Republicans long enough.

Old News. President Trump was saying in May that they were looking everywhere to make sure that they investigated all means of the Russian investigation, Mueller Report, and all other crimes committed by the Democrats. But now we have an organized attempt to take down a President because the other side is power hungry. Bring it on, Barry, the American people will speak at the polls in November 2020. We will see if we lose our way to socialism, or stay an independent nation.

I will just put this right here, and everyone can look at it, at their leisure, after they finish with their Breitbart articles.

Another whistleblower has come forward, this time alleging ‘inappropriate steps’ were taken to influence Trump’s tax audit

  • Another whistleblower complaint has been lodged, this time alleging that there were "inappropriate efforts to influence" the mandatory audit of the Trump and Vice President Mike Pence's tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). 
  • In an August 8 letter, written by House Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal to Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, Neal says that his committee received "credible allegations of 'evidence of possible misconduct'" from a federal employee in July.
  • Though the president is not required by law to release their tax returns, every president has voluntarily released their tax returns or a tax summary since 1974⁠ — except Trump.
  • Trump is also dealing with another whistleblower complaint, lodged in August, which sparked the House to launch a formal impeachment inquiry.

A new whistleblower complaint alleges that "possible misconduct" occurred in an effort to influence the audit of President Donald Trump's taxes.

US House Ways and Means chairman Richard Neal, the committee which has jurisdiction over taxes, tariffs, and other social assistance programs, sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin saying that a "Federal employee" submitted an "unsolicited communication" on July 29, 2019, which alleged that there were "'inappropriate efforts to influence'" the mandatory Internal Revenue Service (IRS) audit of Trump's and Vice President Mike Pence's tax returns.

In his August 8 letter, Neal argued that the allegations made by the whistleblower were "credible" and pointed to "evidence of possible misconduct."

"This is a grave charge that appreciably heightens the Committee's concerns about the absence of appropriate safeguards as part of the mandatory audit program and whether statutory codification of such program or other remedial, legislative measures are warranted," he wrote. 

Neal also stated that his committee had "raised these concerns repeatedly," though IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig had previously referred to the concerns as "unfounded." He said the whistleblower complaint "underscore the pressing need for complete and meaningful oversight." 

Though the president is not required by law to release their tax returns, every president has voluntarily released their tax returns or a tax summary since 1974⁠ — except Trump. The president's taxes are automatically audited by the IRS.

In July, Neal sued Mnuchin and IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig to get a hold of six years of Trump's tax returns. Democrats claimed in the court filing that under Section 6103 of the US tax code, the Treasury "shall furnish" any document requested by the House Ways and Means Committee chair.

The Department of the Treasury did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

It's unclear why Trump has not released his tax returns.

A New York Times investigation suggested that he may have engaged in tax schemes, including fraud, during the 1990s.

The president is also at the center of another explosive whistleblower complaint that a US intelligence official filed against him in August. At the heart of the complaint is a July 25 phone call Trump had with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in which the US president repeatedly pressed his Ukrainian counterpart to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son ahead of the 2020 election.

The White House last week also released a memo about the call, which appeared to confirm that Trump pressed Zelensky to open an investigation into corruption allegations against former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

Doesn't quite do it, but I thought it was a little catchy. This POTUS is unhinged, and it is about politics his willingness to shoot and maim and kill immigrants trying to cross our border illegally. If they can't be granted asylum, and they try to cross, BOOM, an alligator????? Snakes and shooting them? How do his minions keep a straight face in a room with him? And, surprise, surprise, he's sexist? No way.

President Trump talked about shooting migrants, using alligators at the border, according to new book

USA TODAY Savannah Behrmann, USA TODAY,USA TODAY 4 hours ago 
 

WASHINGTON — A book excerpt published Tuesday describes a turbulent week inside the Trump administration in March as the president ordered staff to shut down the United States' 2,000-mile border with Mexico. 

According to reporting from the New York Times, President Donald Trump had at times privately talked about “fortifying a border wall with a water-filled trench, stocked with snakes or alligators, prompting aides to seek a cost estimate. He wanted the wall electrified, with spikes on top that could pierce human flesh.”

Additionally, after aides told him that his public suggestion of soldiers shooting migrants if they threw rocks was illegal, he backed down. But, he later suggested that they “shoot migrants in the legs to slow them down.”

"That’s not allowed either, (staff) told him," according to the excerpt.

The article published Tuesday was adapted from “Border Wars: Inside Trump’s Assault on Immigration,” a book to be published on Oct. 8 by Times reporters Michael Shear and Julie Hirschfeld Davis.

The article is based on interviews with more than a dozen White House administration officials who were granted anonymity, describing a "frenzied week of presidential rages" that included "around-the-clock staff panic and far more White House turmoil than was known at the time," according to the Times

Adding profanity, Trump shouted, "You are making me look like an idiot! I ran on this. It's my issue,” during a meeting that included White House Aide Stephen Miller, former Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, then-Customs and Border Protection chief Kevin McAleenan, acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, as well as presidential adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner, according to the book excerpt.

The comments came around the same time the President publicly threatened to close the border, saying he would if “Mexico doesn’t get with it." Trump later backed off from that threat. 

“The president was frustrated and I think he took that moment to hit the reset button,” Thomas D. Homan, who served as Trump’s acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, told the Times. “The president wanted it to be fixed quickly.’’

The book excerpt includes details that Trump “routinely berated” Nielsen as “ineffective and, worse — at least in his mind — not tough-looking enough." 

During a briefing over the necessity for new legal authority to bring down drones, Trump  reportedly told Nielsen that she “didn’t hear me the first time, honey. Shoot ’em down. Sweetheart, just shoot ’em out of the sky, OK?”

“The happiest [Trump] had been with [DHS Secretary] Nielsen was a few months earlier, when American border agents had fired tear gas into Mexico to try to stop migrants from crossing into the United States," the Times reported.

Democrats were quick to express their outrage after the excerpt published.

Rep. Alexandria-Ocasio Cortez said that “cruelty has always been the point,” with the president. Rep. Eric Swalwell tweeted that Trump’s actions usually fall “into one of three buckets: cruel, childish, or corrupt.”

Second time today you use yahoo.com as your news source.  Low energy today Burry?

 

 

Yahoo is actually a portal for stories from the Huffington Post and USA Today. Those are at the top. Remember the Drudge days that conservatives loved so much? This is better.
