On To The Next “Scandal” of the Donald Trump Presidency
Proving there is no action by President Trump too small for Democrats to attempt to blow up into a major, democracy threatening scandal:
WASHINGTON—House Democrats said they would explore allegations President Trump has sought to limit documentation of his meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel (D., N.Y.), responding to a Washington Post report about Mr. Trump’s meetings with the Russian leader, said his committee would hold hearings on the claims, in what could be one of the first actions by Democrats to probe the president since they took control of the House in January.
“Every time Trump meets with Putin, the country is told nothing,” Mr. Engel said in a written statement. “We will be holding hearings on the mysteries swirling around Trump’s bizarre relationship with Putin.” (Wall Street Journal, 1/14/19)
Of course, the sophisticated and well-informed readers of Veritaspac already know this is just another effort by the weak-willed and often malicious people that woefully ill-informed Democratic voters send to Washington to “represent” them (‘apologies’ to Congressperson Loebsack, and the QC Times… a lesser member of the forces who labor mightily to ‘ill-inform’ those voters) to mislead the American people about our current national leadership.
So, we’ll be brief. Just two points offered as ‘reminders’:
1) The “secrecy” Democrats claiming to surround President Trump’s meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which so excites the media is undoubtedly the result of Mr. Trump’s experiences from the first days of his administration.
How many times did his conversations with foreign leaders, which every president has, and must have, were ‘leaked’ to the global press at almost the same time they were occurring. Whole transcripts of phone calls and brief comments to world leaders at meetings mysteriously falling into the hands of the press. obviously provided by what should be trusted members of the president’s team. Such things as this are historically kept confidential within the government by all presidents . Every president has observed this practice, to which the media has never raised a “grave concern”…until Donald Trump ‘upset’ the Establishment and the left.
In the Trump era, however, the unseemly, and perhaps illegal cozy relationship between the Deep State and the liberal media…with ‘leaks’ a principal weapon to bring down this president, is what IS unprecedented!
2) President Obama (he of the “scandal-free” administration) was found to have attempted to secretly promise the same Mr. Putin that, after he’s re-elected, he will be very much responsive to the Russian president’s desires. The American people would have been completely unaware of this potentially very dangerous, and most certainly furtive commitment had it not been picked up on a “hot mic” in which Obama provided his ‘assurance’ to then-Russian President Dimitri Medvedev
This, however, did not stir even the hairs on the pretty little heads of the NY Times editors. Instead, this revealed only a “moment of presidential ‘candor”!* (An excerpt of their “report is below.)
As we all know, “presidential candor” is something liberal presidents practice; Republican presidents, especially Donald Trump, engage in “collusion”! DLH

Microphone Catches a Candid Obama By J. David Goodman (excerpt)
President Obama found his private moment of political candor caught by a live microphone on Monday as he told President Dmitri A. Medvedev of Russia that he would have “more flexibility” to negotiate on the delicate issue of missile defense after the November election, which Mr. Obama apparently feels confident he will win.
Mr. Obama’s Republican adversaries seized on the comment, which followed a meeting between Mr. Obama and Mr. Medvedev in Seoul, South Korea, where both had struggled to find common ground amid strong objections in Russia to the American plans for a missile defense system based in Europe.
As a pool of television journalists gathered for a news conference on the leaders’ meeting, Mr. Obama leaned in to deliver private assurances to Mr. Medvedev. But speaking inadvertently into an open microphone, he offered a frank assessment of the difficulty of reaching a deal — on this or any other subject — in an election year.
“On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this can be solved, but it’s important for him to give me space,” Mr. Obama could be heard saying to Mr. Medvedev, according a reporter from ABC News, who was traveling with the president. . . .
