Democrats issue subpoenas to Esper, White House budget chief

Quote
WASHINGTON (AP) — House Democrats leading an impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump’s dealings with Ukraine issued subpoenas Monday to Defense Secretary Mark Esper and acting White House budget director Russell Vought.

Three Democratic committee chairmen demanded that Esper and Vought produce documents requested by Democrats by Oct. 15.

The House Intelligence, Oversight and Foreign Affairs committees are investigating Trump’s actions pressing Ukraine to investigate Democratic rival Joe Biden and his son, potentially interfering in the 2020 election. Trump also withheld hundreds of millions of dollars in military assistance to Ukraine.

Democrats say the documents are needed to examine the sequence of events and the reasons behind the White House’s decision to withhold aid appropriated by Congress to counter Russian aggression. The aid was later released.

Quote
Democrats have zeroed in on the State Department in the opening phase of their impeachment investigation. The Intelligence, Oversight and Foreign Affairs committees have already interviewed Kurt Volker, a former special envoy to Ukraine who provided the text messages, and at least two other witnesses are set for depositions this week: Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, and Marie Yovanovitch, who was abruptly ousted as the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine in May.

Everything is about margins (money) with him. Only thing he understands.
He doesn't understand the political & strategic use of aid. Just charging like some cheap whore.
I wonder if all EU said to US well fuck off out of all your bases, they'll see their arse and say don't worry we will pay.

What we're seeing here are career intelligence officers looking at the GOP's inaction and saying, "fuck this shit".  Instead of 'leaking' to the press they're now making official whistleblower complaints. 

This not only exposes Trump regarding what's happening behind the scenes, but it will place huge pressure on the GOP when it comes to the blanket support they're giving Trump.  There's only so long they can bleat on about deep state conspiracies and "what about the Bidens?"

We all knew Trump's rhetoric would become increasingly hysterical once the walls started closing in.  As Lawrence O'Donnell said, the US defines treason as "giving aid and succour to to an enemy in a time of war"; as things stand, even Trump isn't guilty of treason by that definition, never mind Pelosi.

I'd say Trump's chances of making it to November 2020 are about 50/50.

I normally don't take anything this man has to say seriously, or give it second thought. It's all just waffle, hot air and noise to me, but that tweet from him is easily one of the most absurd and laughable things I've ever heard come out of a so called world leader's gob. Jesus Christ, how can anyone take the man seriously when he comes out with utter bollocks like that? But the mad thing is that he has millions that hang onto every word he says and just nod their head like a bunch of thick automaton c*nts they are.

House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel on Monday expressed his alarm over the Trump administration’s potential plans to pull out of the Open Skies Treaty, a post-Cold War agreement that allows countries to operate reconnaissance flights over other nations and collect data on military activities with the aim of building trust between countries.

Since coming into force in 2002, the treaty has become a key tool for the U.S. and its European allies to monitor Russian military deployments to former Soviet satellite countries, including Russian aggression in Ukraine. Withdrawing from the treaty could upend this transatlantic alliance, and place Ukraine at greater risk.

Do you really think they'll do this before next year's election? I just feel they're going to double down and sink further just so they can secure possibly another SC pick and some more tax cuts over a potential second term.

After the cutoff dates for state primaries around April 1st will be when we start to see them come out of the woodwork. If we do...

He's becoming increasingly unhinged and irrational. Did you see the state of him the other day when he came back from a round of golf? The man looks like he's a hair's breadth away from a heart attack or stroke. That is not the look of a healthy person in full control of their faculties.

Loving how he lost spectacularly his case to try and keep his tax return records secret, the opposite of which he claimed he'd do in 2016. Just proves that some people will say anything as long as it gets them elected!

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-49963910


A judge has ordered US President Donald Trump to hand over eight years of his tax returns to New York investigators.

The judge rejected arguments by the president's lawyers that Mr Trump enjoyed total immunity while in office.

The ruling helps an investigation into hush money paid to two women who claim they had affairs with Mr Trump.

Prosecutors said in a court filing that every US president since Jimmy Carter had voluntarily released his tax returns before or upon taking office.

In his 75-page decision on Monday, Judge Victor Marrero called the president's claim of immunity "repugnant to the nation's governmental structure and constitutional values", writing that he would not allow a "categorical and limitless assertion of presidential immunity from judicial process".

"The only thing truly absolute about presidential immunity from criminal process is the Constitution's silence about the existence and contours of such an exemption," he wrote.

The president tweeted about the ruling on Monday, claiming that Democrats were "pushing local New York City and State Democrat prosecutors to go get President Trump".

Of course, his response is to use increasingly inflammatory language, designed to whip up a frenzy of emotion-based attack on anyone who calls him out. "Sickeningly mendacious" doesn't even cover it. The man is pure evil.

His voters have "taken leave of their senses".

What`s the first thing that happens when you encounter someone?

You look at them with your eyes; what do his supporters see? Everything about his appearance is fake, a performance. That alone should get your alarm bells ringing on the basic level.

Then you listen to what they have to say. If you can navigate your way through his addled, word-salad garbage to appreciate his bottomless pit of hatred for everyone other than himself, there is something very wrong with you.


As for pulling out of Syria and leaving the Kurds to the Turks, would it really surprise you if he sees it in financial terms? Not just the rumoured deals he has with Erdogan, but REDUCING DEFENCE SPENDING = MORE MONEY FOR STUIPID WALL. He`s already raiding their, admittedly extravagant, budget by hook or by crook to fund his vanity project. He`s pissing off the intelligence community and stuff like this must wrankle with the Top Brass. No wonder they`re speaking out.

Like one comment mentioned, we all have our limits, this presenters limit was possible genocide. The other presenters though, not quite enough for them.

It's a terrible way to live but I tend to shut my eyes to most of the news nowadays as much as possible. Only way to stop being so furious at what is happening in the world. It's either that or run for MP, which I haven't got the energy for.

US blacklists China organisations over Xinjiang 'Uighur abuse'

Quote
The US has blacklisted 28 Chinese organisations for their alleged involvement in abuses against ethnic Uighurs in China's Xinjiang province.

The organisations are now on the so-called Entity List, which bars them from buying products from US companies without approval from Washington.

The 28 targets include both government agencies and technology companies specialising in surveillance equipment.

China reacted angrily, dismissing the US allegations as groundless.

"There is no such thing as these so-called 'human rights issues' as claimed by the United States," said foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang. "These accusations are nothing more than an excuse for the United States to deliberately interfere in China's internal affairs."

It is not the first time the US has put Chinese groups under a trade ban.

In May, the Trump administration added telecommunications giant Huawei to the Entity List because of security fears over its products.

A Commerce Department filing said the organisations are "implicated in human rights violations and abuses".

Rights groups say Beijing is severely persecuting the mostly Muslim Uighurs in detention camps. China calls these "vocational training centres" to combat extremism.

The Commerce Department said in its decision on Monday that these 28 entities are implicated in "China's campaign of repression, mass arbitrary detention, and high-technology surveillance against Uighurs, Kazakhs, and other members of Muslim minority groups."

Xinjiang province's Public Security Bureau is on the list, along with 19 other smaller government agencies.

Hikvision, Dahua Technology and Megvii Technology are among eight commercial groups on the list, all of which specialise in facial-recognition technology.

Hikvision is one of the largest surveillance equipment manufacturers in the world.

The US and China are currently in the midst of a trade war, and have sent delegations to Washington for a meeting about the tensions later this week.

Targeting China's AI stars

By Karishma Vaswani, BBC Asia Business correspondent

This move by the US will no doubt hurt China's technology ambitions, at least in the short term.

The companies targeted are some of China's biggest tech stars in artificial intelligence - the industry China is staking its future on.

But the processor chips used to train AI algorithms are currently dominated by American firms like Intel and Nvidia.

Increasingly, though, US moves to restrict the American tech available to Chinese companies is prompting China Inc to accelerate its desire for self-sufficiency.

For instance, after Huawei was placed on the US entity list earlier this year - which meant that companies like Google would need to get an export license from Washington before selling to it - the Chinese company said it would start developing its own operating software to embed on its phones.

Chinese alternatives to other US technology are also being developed.

As the US and China's trade war turns increasingly into a battle over technology, consumers will eventually have to choose between all-Chinese and all-American products.

Quote
China has launched a massive security operation in Xinjiang, in its far west, in recent years.

Human rights groups and the UN say China has rounded up and detained more than a million Uighurs and other ethnic minorities in vast detention camps, where they are forced to renounce Islam, speak only in Mandarin Chinese and learn obedience to the communist government.

China says those people are attending "vocational training centres" which are giving them jobs and helping them integrate into Chinese society, in the name of preventing terrorism.

There have been increasingly vocal denunciations from the US and other countries about China's actions in Xinjiang.

Last week, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo alleged that China "demands its citizens worship government, not God" in a press conference in the Vatican.

And in July more than 20 countries at the UN Human Rights Council signed a joint letter criticising China's treatment of the Uighurs and other Muslims.

Uighurs are ethnically Turkic Muslims. They make up about 45% of the Xinjiang region's population; 40% are Han Chinese.

China re-established control in 1949 after crushing short-lived state of East Turkestan.

Since then, there has been large-scale immigration of Han Chinese and Uighurs fear erosion of their culture.

Xinjiang is officially designated an autonomous region within China, like Tibet to its south.

Gordon Sondland: US envoy skips Trump impeachment probe

Quote
The Trump administration has blocked the US ambassador to the European Union from testifying to a congressional impeachment investigation.

Gordon Sondland was due to meet behind closed doors on Tuesday with staff from three Democratic-led House committees.

But the envoy was directed by the Department of State not to attend.

Mr Sondland was set to be grilled about any role he played in prodding Ukraine to investigating President Donald Trump's political rival Joe Biden.

Quote
In a statement released through his lawyer, Mr Sondland said he was "profoundly disappointed" he would not be able to testify.

"Ambassador Sondland believes strongly that he acted at all times in the best interests of the United States, and he stands ready to answer the Committee's questions fully and truthfully," said the statement.

It was always assumed people would never act so egregiously, so no-one ever had to/needed to put anything further in place to stop it.  The same goes for over here.

It's taken until now for people to realise they can exploit it. They can act disgracefully and probably get away with it if they just flat out refuse to engage in the process.

Here is the full statement from Sondland's attorney

"Early this morning, the U.S. Department of State directed Ambassador Gordon Sondland not to appear today for his scheduled transcribed interview before the the U.S. House of Representatives Joint Committee...

"Ambassador Sondland had previously agreed to appear voluntarily today, without the need for a subpoena, in order to answer the Committee’s questions on an expedited basis. As the sitting U.S. Ambassador to the EU and employee of the State Department, Ambassador Sondland...

"...is required to follow the Department’s direction. Ambassador Sondland is profoundly disappointed that he will not be able to testify today. Ambassador Sondland traveled to Washington from Brussels in order to prepare for his testimony and to be available to answer...

"...the Committee’s questions. Arrangements had already been made with Joint Committee staff regarding the logistics of his testimony. Ambassador Sondland believes strongly that he acted at all times in the best interests of the United States, and he stands ready...

"...to answer the Committee’s questions fully and truthfully. Ambassador Sondland hopes that the issues raised by the State Department that preclude his testimony will be resolved promptly. He stands ready to testify on short notice, whenever he is permitted to appear."

--end--

President Trump has just tweeted about the decision to block Ambassador Sondland's testimony:

"...unfortunately he would be testifying before a totally compromised kangaroo court..."

Speaking w/ reporters now, @RepAdamSchiff says “there was no indication that the ambassador would be a no-show” as of late yesterday.

“The ambassador has text messages or emails on a personal device which had been provided to the State Department…the SD is withholding those..."

.@RepAdamSchiff says those texts or emails on Sondland's personal device "are deeply relevant to the investigation.”

"We will consider this act today...as well as the holding of the ambassador's documents...to be further acts of obstruction of a coequal branch of government."


Now Ohio Republican @Jim_Jordan is speaking with reporters.

“We understand the reason why the State Department decided not to have Ambassador Sondland appear today."

He says @RepAdamSchiff is running an "unfair and partisan process.”

CNN's @mkraju asked @Jim_Jordan if he had any concerns about @realDonaldTrump asking Ukraine and China to investigate @JoeBiden.

"He is doing his job, his duty as the commander in chief, his duty as the president of the United States, so I don’t have a concern about that.”

At what point does the fat, orange sex-abuser cross the Rubicon into the realm of dictatorship?

To my mind a point about 9 months ago

Seems like Lindsay Graham is going to give Rudy Guiliani free reign to present Trump's conspiracy theories to the Senate Judiciary Committee and elevate them to a level they don't deserve.

How the fuck can the WH block anyone during an impeachment investigation. Fucking ridiculous.

More to the point, if Sondland is so fucking disappointed why doesn't he fuck the White House off and go anyway?  Do what Volker did if necessary and resign; or request to be subpoenaed so he can claim he legally had no choice but to comply.

These are individuals who are placing Executive Power above the legislature and administrative, when they are supposed to be co-equal.

The only way out of this now is for arrest warrants to begin to be issued.

Who enforces those warrants ?

The White House was expected to tell Pelosi this week that it would ignore lawmakers’ demands for documents until the House holds a vote to approve the impeachment inquiry.

Pelosi says a vote is not needed, although Democrats say the House would back the inquiry if there were a vote.

Is this just another delaying tactic as the House is not in Legislative Session?

Most likely the FBI, backed by the police.  If Barr orders them not to enforce arrest warrants then it's basically banana republic territory.  Whether you agree with the impeachment enquiry or not you cannot legally impede it.

Anyone failing to turn up under subpoena should be arrested. It surely is not optional.

Edit: I see that he has not actually been subpoenaed. Hopefully this will change soon.

Seems like they're doing everything to legally impede it?
