Hi all,
So, the lastest news is that President Trump is claimed to have made some inappropriate comments to another world leader. A person who apparently has some knowledge of this dialogue filed what is called a 'whistle blower report'. These are reports for which we have a protocol and are an encouraged way for people to anonymously report what they believe to be questionable behavior by any political figure. Be it the president or a congressperson or a judge or even staff personnel of any of these folks. It's just a report filled out by someone who thinks that they may have some knowledge of an act that they believe to be questionable. So far so good.
There is a protocol established to deal with them. There are 3-4 levels to which such a report may be classified. One is just outright silliness. One is that it does look like there's a small, reasonably inconsequential issue that can be straightened out with a face to face. One is deemed important enough that it has been previously decided that any such report in this classification should be handed over to Congressional leaders to look over and decide its importance.
The report in this event was deemed by the power that has the responsibility of looking over these reports, decided that this matter deserved to be made known to Congress to let them decide what to do. That's a protocol that has been established for a number of years for handling these reports.
Our president wants us to believe that this report is of no consequence, yet he seems absolutely steadfast in seeing to it that the report doesn't see the light of day. Why? If it is of such inconsequential value, then why not let the process take its due course? The course which was established for these things several years ago. If President Trump is really telling us the truth, that everyone who has read it has laughed at it, then why, if it were handed over to Congress wouldn't it just be laughed at and shelved? Everybody slaps their knee and has a good guffaw and then somebody says, "I move that this report be file thirteened."
This is the part that bothers me. Similarly with his tax returns. Why? If everything is on the up and up, fight this never ending battle that is costing everyone millions of dollars in attorney and court expenses, for something that is merely a truthful report, but shows that everything is on the up and up.
It is this appearance of fighting tooth and nail to 'hide' information to the point of lining up a phalanx of attorneys and court proceedings, that makes most of us question what it is that is so important that it's better to prolong all this fighting, than to just let everything go as it should go. I think most reasonable people would begin to ask 'why', especially as one thing piles upon another and upon another and upon another.
For me, the man literally acts and speaks as one who believes himself to be above the law. Now even saying that it is against the law to prosecute and investigate him. HUH???
God bless,
In Christ, ted
