  • 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?

This is hilarious since Trump is stonewalling Congress by forbidding people from talking to Congress, even to the extent of defying valid subpoenas.

What subpoenas? They are request made to appear voluntarily. That is why there are zero charges coming from them not showing up.

The official/unofficial inquiry from what I read does not have subpoena power until there is a vote and an actual Impeachment is underway.

But beyond issuing a subpoena for Mr. Sondland, the chairman did not detail how he might seek to crank up pressure on the White House to comply, and the standoff may create a quandary for Democrats who had hoped to move quickly in extracting crucial evidence and decide in short order whether to push forward on impeaching Mr. Trump.

There has been no subpoena been issued

So again - why will the Democrats not release the full transcript

They didn't say they could not.
They didn't say it was confidential.
They are just ignoring the request and releasing only what supports their political theater

“We were looking forward to hearing from Ambassador Sondland,” said Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio, the top Republican on the Oversight and Reform Committee, adding that Republicans believed Mr. Sondland would “reinforce exactly” what lawmakers and aides heard least week from Kurt D. Volker, the former American special envoy to Ukraine. Mr. Volker told investigators he knew of nothing improper between the two countries, although he turned over a trove of documents that raised further questions.

Isn't this what all politicians in all the current parties are afraid of ? Being exxposed and losing their support ?
It may be deeper than that. I fear many Evangelicals think Trump is the 21st Century King Cyrus which I believe has led them to a great deception. But that's just my opinion.

What subpoenas?

For instance, this one.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has not yet come into compliance with a subpoena for documents in the U.S. House of Representatives impeachment probe

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?

Some interesting questions
but,
that's the way they fly.
It's all good -- Trump looking strong in 2020.

...

Are you sure you're okay? You can take a pause from the forums if your anxieties about the president are getting too severe.

Anyway, with respect to Cohen... we know where he'll be for the next few years -- in prison for the crimes he committed on Trump's behalf -- so he can always be called to talk to prosecutors.

The GOP does not rule the House, the Dems do.

Why are the Republicans afraid of Dem investigations?

And here I thought the people ruled. The reason the GOP might be afraid of Dem investigations is that Dems believe they are rulers. A ruler doesn't need to worry about presenting facts the ruler simply says you are guilty and the executioner lops off your head.

Why do you say they failed? Seems to me they were quite successful in getting the information out to the public. Or do you think Hillary Clinton was elected President a few years back?

The White House and DoJ have all of what Sondland has and he has what Volker and Tyler have. So why doesn't the White House release them?? :scratch:
