  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What are the Democrats afraid of?

why will they not release the Volker testimony et al?

They leak limited notes that help their narrative and conceal the rest.

Republican leadership is asking for full release.

Why are they stone walling?

The Democrats called for full release of Mueller Probe and got it, yet do not want transparency on this key testimony.

What are they afraid of?

I don't know. Spiders? Heights? Falling for faked magazine covers?

I mean, there's lots to fear but I don't see why any reasonable person would think that, given the current trends, Democrats would be the ones worried about more information coming about about Donald's illegal attempts to get a foreign government to interfere in our election process.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

If the testimony was behind closed doors, then it is possible that some of it is classified and would have to be vetted before being released? The full committee, GOP included, heard the testimony. Who is leaking what (as opposed to giving official statements)?

No mention of vetting or classified materials being the reason the whole testimony isn't released - so tell me again - why are the Democrats acting in secrecy? Why are they not being transparent? What did they hear that the public should be made aware of?

The Republicans are calling for the release. Why not release it? What are they afraid of? Why are they stone walling?

Republicans attended those hearings with Volker. The Republicans know everything about his testimony that the Democrats do.

Who is calling for the release of this information ? Why don't the Republicans who attended the hearings simply provide it ?

An unstable and corrupt government - that's what I'm afraid of.

No mention - WHERE? Sorry to shout, but you haven't given anything to source your contention.

The Republicans are calling for the release. Why not release it? What are they afraid of? Why are they stone walling?
Which Republicans and where?

They must know that they don't have much of a case but want to keep the semblance of an impeachment hearing going so that they can vote to impeach and claim to have followed due process. I assume that it's basically for campaign purposes since doing it the way they are is not likely to induce more Republican Senators to vote to convict, not if the House didn't even allow a bona fide investigation before holding an impeachment vote.

This Republican. Right here.
So ... this drama is occuring between the players in the Federal government. Which of the approximately 250 Republicans in the Federal government are calling for the public airing of the Volker hearings ?

This is particularly significant since many of these Republicans actually attended the Volker hearings ...

There's no closed captioning.

That contradicts other people's saying that Volker was explicit in Giuliani's role in this quid pro quo.

Okay, that's one Republican. You had put it in the plural before.

It’s the ranking member.

Tell me how many do you need before you do not use that as an excuse for the Democratic Party not being transparent?

How about Matt Gaetz. Fast forward about two min. He repeats the requests

Given that the Republican administation had been concerned about the Ukraine call since July, and tried to quash the whistleblower report, and is currently refusing to allow Sondland to testify ... I am comfortable with giving the Investigative Committee a few more days before I become concerned with them not being transparent ...
