Russian spies likely intercepted ambassador's cell phone call with Trump

[Guno]

US Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland's cell phone call to President Donald Trump from a restaurant in Ukraine this summer appears to be a shocking security breach that raises significant counterintelligence concerns, according to several former officials, who told CNN there is a high probability that intelligence agencies from numerous foreign countries, including Russia, were listening in on the conversation.

"I cannot remember in my career any time where an ambassador in a high counterintelligence environment like Kiev would have such an unsecure conversation with a sitting president. This just should not happen," he said.


Bill Taylor, the top US diplomat in Ukraine, revealed during the first public impeachment hearing Wednesday that a member of his staff, who was accompanying Sondland to meetings in Kiev, saw the ambassador call Trump from his cell phone and overheard the President asking about "the investigations."

That phone call was ill-advised on many levels. Certainly from a security standpoint.

Sondland should have made his call to Trump from the huge US Embassy complex in Kyiv.

Objection your Honor! Hearsay.

Objection sustained, the members of the jury will disregard the witness's last statement.

This is not a criminal trial. Would you like me to explain why your comment was stupid, or would you just ignore it anyways?

You're right. It's yet another Democrat kangaroo court.

You're right. It's yet another Democrat kangaroo court.

This is the kind of kangaroo court...ing that you are talking about.

 

[CaughtInThe]

This administration is inept.

Almost like a billionaire playboy who has to pay for sex.

 

[DamnYankee]

You're right. It's yet another Democrat kangaroo court.

The kooks seem to think hearsay is extremely reliable.

 

[3leftsdoo]

A Russian under ever bed,
and one in every liberal head.

 

[Slyfox696]

You're right.

I know.

It's yet another Democrat kangaroo court.

Why do you use terms you clearly don't know the meaning of?

This is an impeachment inquiry. This means Congress is considering impeachment charges for wrongdoing by the President and are currently gathering facts and evidence to decide whether or not they wish to formally bring charges. This Constitutional process is not, and has never been intended to be, a "court" in any sense of the word. This is an investigation.

Seriously, why do Trump defenders say the stupidest things?

No, you may consider yourself a kangaroo because you bounce off walls trying to defend the indefensible, but in the end, just another ignorant traitor trumpy statement.

What, and miss dessert?
I hear that their tiramisu is so good it is treasonous not to eat it.

More love of the constitution from the right. Good times!

Hearsay testimony becomes much more compelling when supported by corroborating evidence/testimony, as is happening in the impeachment hearings.

Hearsay and circumstantial evidence can be, and often are, admissible.

 

[GDViking]

Why does anyone care anymore trump reports everything to Russia anyway...

 

[Simon W. Moon]

Hearsay and circumstantial evidence can be, and often are, admissible.

Hearsay is used in investigations all the time

the "trial" happens in the Senate

It can also be used in impeachment hearings, which is what I was referring to. And I made no reference to trials,

 

[What if...?]

I'm gonna bet when those who were actually there testify you are also going to cry "hearsay".

But it won't be. It will be direct evidence.

First hand.

And you wanna know how to put an end to the hearsay?

Allow those with firsthand knowledge to testify. Release relevant evidence.

If trump is innocent, the truth will set him free.

if you had lyin Rush Limbaugh and lyin Sean Hannity as your professors for 20 years you'd be a total idiot.

Just adding some stuff for when the same objection occurs again

They are thoroughly propagandized

You do know they live in a different world, with a different history, than everybody else on the planet, right?

And human being are very averse to admitting they have been fooled by someone they put their trust in. It creates an existential crisis.

Which is apparently the primary thing modern conservatism relies on for it's existence.

Bandit, I know you are new to the board but you should already know that I am the board's #1 enemy of Trump.
