'Total panic' as 'shell-shocked' White House struggles to find impeachment footing

[KenH]

"For a president whose brand is viewed as strength, Wednesday’s press conference made him look defeated, said one person familiar with the situation. While Trump relished questions on the Russia investigation, he seemed to be in no mood to answer questions about Ukraine."

Methinks you got it all backwards. Dems are seriously panicked right now.

Senator Ben Sasse seems to speak more accurately.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) criticized Republicans, Democrats, the Trump administration and the media over their handling of the whistleblower complaint, suggesting: "Everybody in this whole process should slow down..."

What he's saying: To Democrats, Sasse argued they "ought not to be using the word impeach before they have the whistleblower complaint or before they read any of the transcript."

To his fellow conservatives, Sasse said: "Republicans ought not to be rushing to circle the wagons ... when there's obviously lots that's very troubling here."

To the Trump administration, Sasse noted: "The administration ought not be attacking to whistleblower as some talking points suggest they plan to do."

And to the press, Sasse insisted: "The media humbly should not pretend that this story is about something that's going to be resolved in the next two hours. Done right with lots of deliberation this is going to take a lot of time, but there's obviously some really troubling things here."

Between the lines: Sasse is one of few Republicans who unabashedly critiqued President Trump during his first few years in the White House. But, Trump's recent endorsement of Sasse for reelection had largely quieted Sasse's criticisms until the whistleblower complaint.

I don’t see total panic, I see anger that the left is continuing down their ridiculous path, & wasting time to get real, needed things done for the country.

There was nothing troubling. That is why they are circling the wagons. Any repub who says otherwise is likely a deepstate establishment neocon.

Panic? Schiff - yes panic enough to make him try to deceive the public with some sort of "Godfather" meme this AM.

Schiff has lost his marbles.

That is speaking the loudest for the whole world to see.

Biden may be the one in panic since he claimed at the Council on Foreign Relations that he told the Ukraine to fire the prosecutor investigating why Hunter Biden got so much money from the Ukraine when Hunter knew absolutely nothing about natural gas. Also, Hunter got a lot of money from China. So it seems as if Obama let Joe Biden sell influence all over the world. When asked about this, Elizabeth Warren said that she didn't know if it was wrong or not but she would have to look into it.

Also, the DNC may be in a panic because they refused to let the FBI, which they control, look into their computer hack but turned it over to a company in the Ukraine. It could be that the hack of the DNC was an inside job and the Dems were covering it up and still are. If the company in the Ukraine makes public their findings, it might reflect badly on the Clintons, which means Arkancide will strike again, ha!ha!

Ben Sasse - what a disappointment he has turned out to be.

Considering he may be one of a handful of Christians in Washington, you must be really disappointed.

You mean to say that, with all the Dem media has been putting out, you still need more compost (pun intended)? Brother, you must have massive land holdings!

The "whistle blower" is in fact a traitor who should be tried for treason.

There has been no investigation yet. Isn't your assertion presumptuous?

Do you know what a neocon is? One trait of neocon is that they're easy to convince war is necessary. Trump isn't going to give you a war with Iran.
