On the other hand if you held moderate non-paranoid, non-reactive views you would not need to be so guarded.

I believe Joseph Heller said it best in Catch 22, "Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't after you." I do not think the PONTUS can pass gas in his own bathroom without someone recording it for the media who will then make the act a major crisis. Honestly, if I were in his shoes....all recording devices would be left at the door and the room, to include adjacent rooms, would be scanned for bugs. I would have a writer prepare "for the media" statements (coordinated through the legal office and the "PC" police) which I would use whenever I came in contact with the press. Everything would be scripted....even sugarcoated for people who are unable to take a joke, handle the t***h, or realize that even presidents on occasions palter/babble. You may not recall, but several presidents could not talk without a teleprompter, one in particular in the last 20 years had pronunciation issues and one stammered so badly on the simple word "I" that it became a running joke.

I wouldn't blame him if he did this but he won't, and for good reason. It would take away what ammunition the l*****t progressive Democrats think they have as a weapon against Trump but amounts to nothing more than evidence for the rest of us to realize how un-American the left is. Like the comedian who offends the sensibilities of many people, say, like a Lenny Bruce, Trump reminds us of what we have and what we could lose if he was silenced. This is why America thrives and is EXCEPTIONAL!

Does it matter what Bolton says? The aid was given and no investigation of Biden by the Ukrainians took place.

Nothing undermined the state department and diplomatic functions the way Giuliani and the three amigos did running an off the grid (outside of official channels) agenda. The state department was trying to get Giuliani to work in in the open with the official goals and agenda. It was the fact that their agenda had nothing to do with national security interests that was causing the conflicts of interest. Yovanovitch was protected for as long as she was because she was good at her job.

Don’t these snowflake libs know that foreign policy is under the purview of the President and he can fire anyone without cause in the state department. Not only could of Trump have held up the aid he should have. I wouldn’t have given the corrupt government of the Ukraine anything until the entire sleazy Biden connection to Burisma and there role was investigated.

They know it! They don't want it to be so because it is Trump. If Obama was to do it they would be absolutely behind him. The double standard goes a long way with hypocrites.
