A CIA whistleblower alleges President Trump abused his office to get dirt on his main political rival.
Legal Eagles get 2 months of unlimited learning on Skillshare for FREE: legaleagle.link/skillshare
I think we will all remember this week for a long time to come. What started as a rumor that there was an intelligence community complaint that the White House was trying to quash snowballed into a scandal that may dwarf Watergate.
Early this week we learned that the whistleblower’s complaint deal with the President directly. Most assumed it related to the July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Zelensky.
When the White House released the transcript of the call with Zelensky, we learned that the two leaders discussed military aid, and then discussed two “favors” that President Trump wanted from Ukraine: 1) he wanted Ukraine to look into “servers” and Crowdstrike and 2) he wanted Ukraine to restart an investigation into Trump’s main political rival Joe Biden.
The next day the full Whistleblower complaint was released. The full complaint recapitulated all of the information in the read-out of the phone call and also dropped the bombshells that the White House had been attempting to coverup the phone call (and potentially others) but hiding it in a computer system designed only for the most secure communications.
House Democrats have already voted to start an impeachment inquiry.
Things are moving fast.
This is big.

Well, honestly, thanks to this impeachment, Donald Trump broke a remarkable record as President- The first in history to be voted out on his first term, never won the popular vote in either election, and got impeached. That record might well remain a Trump exclusive and it's going to be one of his most notable factoids as the 45th.

I would sayyyy...ehhhh...yes and no... Looking over the results of the 2020 election and I would say that a rather significant part of the US population *likely* had the impeachment firmly in mind as they went out to vote...not to mention all of the *cough* covid *cough* issues going on...and the protests over the deaths of George Floyd, Brionna Taylor and other unarmed and not dangerous black people...and the president's response...or lack thereof...and the copy/paste "is this 2016 again?" re-election campaign... Needless to say, while Senate Republicans provided significant cover fire to shield President Trump from impeachment...he arguably was found guilty by a much tougher court, that of the Court of Public Opinion. Which then responded with ITS official impeachment verdict on 03NOV2020... A verdict of guilty... With orders to remove President Trump along with his entire administration at 1200 on 20JAN2021 WITHOUT FAIL OR DELAY... In effect...he's toast... With butter... And Grape Jam... 😣😣😣😣 Now I'm hungry...😅😅😅😅😵😵😵😵

I’m kinda late to the party, but as a Ukrainian, I wanna correct you on some points. -Yanukovich wasn’t ousted for conspiracy with Russia simply because Russian interference occurred after he was ousted. He was ousted for incredible corruption, abuse of power and getting 100 protesters killed. Whole thing started as a protest to get into EU, but that’s a long story. -Nobody is fighting in Crimea. Yes, we do have an armed conflict with Russia(who claim to do nothing with it and call it civil war), but not in Crimea. Crimea is under occupation, but the fighting is in the eastern regions. -Zelenskiy isn’t a prime minister, he is a president. Thought you make this mistake only once, so it seems to be a typo.

I'm pretty sure the only reason he's stayed in office after impeachment is because Trump and his lawyers caused a constant sensory overload. I mean... Politico has been overworked trying to figure out every nonsensical tweet from him. I imagine they praised the day Twitter banned him.

Well, since then, the entire phone call has been scoured over by mostly every person in government and the interested public. Ultimately, there was nothing there. On the other hand, these claims of dirt on the Bidens have become apparently truthful in the eyes of mostly the entire government and the interested public, along with anyone who has looked over the mounting whistle-blower evidence coming from FBI, DOJ, and the IRS. It seems like Trump wasn't lying. Biden was lying, and people were lying for Biden, and it has continued until this very day.

I know it's not really the focus of this video, but this really exposes a fundamental problem with whistleblowing laws: the 'proper channels' you're supposed to go through are often the same channels that covered up the stuff you're blowing the whistle on. It was a fight to get as much information as we *did* get about what's going on in this case. See: Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden, etc.

@Truth Serum weren't the whistleblower laws revised either a few months or a year ago to provide that whistleblowers need not have 1st hand knowledge of the problem they were reporting on. If so anyone can tie up the courts with gossip and spreading rumors. that makes no sense. that change came about by the dems and was not known by repubs. until the report was actually made so at first it was assumed that a leaker from the actual call was responsible for the report which is treason and they could be shot as such. at least I think that is the way that law stands. and yes the republicans were included in the meetings but then only shifty Schiff came out and reported on the meetings. all others could not speak out by law or rules, I think. And I have seen him lie like a dog with a straight face. So what are we to do as Americans?

johoney54 you're right on the money, your other advisor is not. The people who are testifying at the kangaroo court are not elected, but long term state officials. Schiff helped set this up. I'm hoping they are dumb enough to send it to the Senate. If you want to pay 70% tax for programs the government has no business taking over, vote left in 2020. If you want Trump to continue rooting out corruption, if you want opportunities to increase for all of us, vote Trump in 2020.

He might also want to read the US Constitution, so he can find out that presidents are in charge of foreign policy and they are the chief law enforcement officer in the United States. Carrying out the constitutionally-assigned powers of the office of the presidency, such as investigating corruption and setting foreign policy contingent on foreign cooperation, cannot be impeachable offenses.

This is amazing and thank you, sir for having stitched it together as best you could. I now really get the ramifications of this whole case. All your other videos are really interesting as well, my favorites being this and the My Cousin Vinnie videos! No one needs to watch the damn news anymore, just your channel, if they really want the answers they are looking for on this topic. Thanks for being one of the people trying to do a service to this country. There needs to be more people like you in our government.

Is the whistleblower supposed to have some direct knowledge of the events he reports or is hearsay okay?
@jaycantrell4394
@jaycantrell4394 4 года назад
@@1dirkmanchest It depends. Hearsay is defined as information one cannot adequately substantiate; it's literally repeating information from another source without any further action. It's likely that the person that is the whistle blower was in a position of authority over those persons who did things like transcribe the call, handle aspects of the military aid to Ukraine including the unexplained hold and perhaps the cited password secure information system that was allegedly misused. So, though the whistle blower himself did not listen to the call, handle the aid to Ukraine or put transcripts into a secure computer system people who report to him did. That is quite a bit different than hearsay.

@monokhem some of his sources are just watching the mainstream media news. He was not privy to those conversations. He listened to a few people who don't like Trump who work there and got a distortion of the facts because of a bias. None of the facts that he presented were correct or have stood the test of time - not even a few days. None were researched seriously by the people reporting about it. The few reporters that did research found out very quickly that claims made about those people were patently false. The idea that this was taken seriously is absolutely mindblowing.

@mrs0019 The whistleblower is a part of the intelligence community. He conducted an internal investigation, and presented information as close to the truth as possible and the AIG determined his complaint was credible and had merit. If the complaint was riddled with lies, why doesn't the Trump administration publish all exonerating documents, including an unedited recording of the call with Zelensky? I really hope this sinks Biden too, though it looks like he's doing that all be himself anyway.

So if the transcript in and of itself is so damning in its original state, why did Adam Schiff feel it necessary to deliberately mis-characterize the content of this document at the initial inquiry? It wasn't until he learned that the transcript had been released that he backpedaled his fabricated reading of this document and told congress that his dramatic interpretation was mere "parody." If our politicians think it is appropriate to employ parody at a congressional hearing, that just throws a lot of mud in the water. How is anyone supposed to know what to believe?

It's the advantage of demolishing the two party system and the downside of still using a system designed for basically two systems. The UK's current fixed term debacle is similar. The PM doesn't have a majority and needs a two thirds majority to call an early election. He can't do any in Parliament without a majority including quitting being the PM in name only. The advantage of multiple parties is avoiding the inertia of the US. Keeping Trump in office helps everyone. The republicans are worried about "saying crimes are bad" because they might split their base. Trump voters are increasingly Trump supporters rather than Republicans. Meanwhile the democratic elections campaign is Trump. They were starting to risk voters not showing up because they don't think the dems are doing anything even though as long as Trump is President they weren't losing votes directly to the republicans. Gerrymandering makes the whole thing even more inane.
