Mark Levin gave a legal analysis of why Schiff face's whistle blower concoction is a hoax. First, he has no statutory authority/standing against the president. Second, the president can fire and hire ambassadors because they all serve at his pleasure. Third, the so called whistle blower's testimony was contrived and constructed after consultation with Schiff face, his staff and his lawyer is a Trump Hater, was an Obama disciple and connected with Biden.
Whistle blower laws are to protect government employees in the work place not bring charges against the and collusion with members of a political party.president.
If there was any Quid Pro Quo it was Biden's TV admission. Levin concludes the entire episode will eventually fall of its own weight.
If The House impeaches Trump they would be turning the ball over to McConnell who is crafty and that would put Schiff head and Pelosi at risk. Once again what Schiff head has contrived is likely to blow up in his face, like with the Mueller revelations, because he always builds a house of cards thinking he has built a trap.
As Schiff head goes public he will either be seen to be a manipulator who has deprived Trump of his constitutional legal process rights and the Republicans will be able to question witnesses giving the public the opportunity to judge their credibility.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Bloomberg would be tough opponent. I do not believe he was as great a mayor as others think but he was better than de Blasio, ain't saying much, not as good at Rudy but did not need to be because Rudy made it easier for Bloomberg since he cleaned the place up and set NYC on a better course. All Bloomerg had to do was not screw up and he did not but he is a bit autocratic for my blood and would not be as touch in foreign policy.
He is sort of a Jewish, Adlai but not as intellectual and a duller speaker. (See 1 below.)

What will happen regarding Iran. Time for Israel to take action, in my opinion, and for European nations to support them and Trump. America could take a stand by position .

1) Bloomberg preparing possible run for 2020 Democratic nomination
Moderate former New York mayor, dissatisfied with crop of Democrats vying to challenge Trump, files paperwork to enter primary but still has not made final decision
Today,
Michael Bloomberg, the billionaire former mayor of New York City, is opening the door to a 2020 Democratic presidential campaign, signaling his dissatisfaction with the current crop of candidates vying to take on President Donald Trump.
Bloomberg, who initially ruled out a 2020 run, has not made a final decision on whether to run, according to advisers, but he is taking steps toward a campaign, including filing to get on the ballot in Alabama’s presidential primary. Alabama has an early filing deadline and is among the states that vote on Super Tuesday, named for the large number of state contests that day.
In a statement on Thursday, Bloomberg adviser Howard Wolfson said the former mayor is worried that the current crop of Democratic presidential candidates is “not well positioned” to defeat Trump.
With immense personal wealth, Bloomberg could quickly build out a robust campaign operation across the country. He would pose an immediate ideological challenge to former Vice President Joe Biden, who is running as a moderate and hopes to appeal to independents and Republicans who have soured on Trump. But the billionaire media mogul with deep Wall Street ties could also energize supporters of liberal candidates Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, who have railed against income inequality and have vowed to ratchet up taxes on the wealthiest Americans.
“He’s a literal billionaire entering the race to keep the progressives from winning,” said Rebecca Katz, a New York-based liberal Democratic strategist. “He is the foil.”
Bloomberg is a former Republican-turned independent who registered as a Democrat last year. He actively supported Hillary Clinton in 2016 and blasted Trump, his fellow New Yorker, as a con man who overinflates his business success.
Bloomberg has long flirted with a presidential run but never launched a campaign. He seriously considered a 2020 campaign, traveling to early voting states and conducting extensive polling, but ultimately passed in part because of Biden’s expected strength in the field. Aides said they did not see room for two moderate contenders in the crowded Democratic primary field.
Bloomberg’s decision to reconsider suggests he shares the concerns of other Democrats who are increasingly worried about the former vice president’s fundraising and messaging, particularly as Warren’s popularity has risen. Although Warren is a favorite of liberals, some Democrats worry that she would struggle to appeal to moderates and Republicans who may be seeking an alternative to Trump.
“There are smart and influential people in the Democratic Party who think a candidate like Bloomberg is needed,” said Jennifer Palmieri, a senior adviser to Clinton. “But there is zero evidence that rank-and-file voters in the early states of Iowa and New Hampshire feel the same. Absent a desire from voters for a Bloomberg candidacy, it can be hard to get off the ground.”
Bloomberg would have to swiftly make up ground to compete with candidates like Biden, Warren and others, who have spent months traveling the country meeting voters.
Warren on Thursday tweeted: “Welcome to the race, @MikeBloomberg!” and linked to her campaign website, saying he would find there “policy plans that will make a huge difference for working people and which are very popular.”
Bloomberg appeared to be taking the first step by moving to file in Alabama, which votes on March 3.
A spokesman for the Arkansas Democratic Party said a person representing a “mystery candidate” reached out Thursday afternoon asking about the requirements to join the ballot in the state. Reed Brewer, communications director for the Arkansas Democrats, said he walked the individual through the process — which simply requires filing documentation with both the state party and secretary of state, as well as paying a $2,500 fee — and was assured that the fee would be “no problem” for the mystery candidate.
There is no filing requirement for a candidate to run in the Iowa caucuses, which are a series of Democratic Party meetings, not state-run elections. It means a candidate can enter the race for the February 3 contest at any time.

2)Iran’s Nuclear Escalation
Time for
Europe to join the U.S. maximum-pressure campaign.
The Editorial Board
President Hassan Rouhani has announced that Iran will violate restrictions on the Fordow underground nuclear facility starting Wednesday. President Trump’s detractors will say this proves that leaving the 2015 nuclear deal was a mistake, but this is one more sign of the defects in the deal that Europe should be helping the U.S. to address.
In a speech Tuesday the Iranian leader said the regime would begin injecting gas into the 1,044 centrifuges at Fordow, an open violation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. This follows news on Monday that Iran is running new and advanced centrifuges, which shortens its path to a nuclear weapon. The regime already has been openly violating the deal for months by enriching uranium at higher concentrations and storing more of it.
“When they uphold their commitments we will cut off the gas,” said Mr. Rouhani. “So it is possible to reverse this step.” The Iranian strategy has been to escalate its violations of the deal step by step, hoping to intimidate Mr. Trump and divide the U.S. from Europe.
The strategy worked for a time, but then Iran attacked Saudi oil fields. German, French and British leaders responded in a statement that Iran should “accept negotiation on a long-term framework for its nuclear programme as well as on issues related to regional security, including its missiles programme and other means of delivery.”
It was a fine statement—and no small feat that Europe called for a new deal—but now Angela Merkel, Emmanuel Macron and Boris Johnson have to do more than talk. On Monday the Trump Administration announced fresh sanctions against advisers to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the latest pressure against the country’s authoritarian ruling class. Nothing would focus minds in Tehran more than Berlin, Paris, London and Washington coming together to reimpose the so-called snap-back sanctions that were supposed to be the response to Iranian nuclear escalation.
The U.S. wants a revised deal to limit Iranian ballistic missile development, allow unlimited inspections of suspect nuclear sites, and remove the sunset clauses that allow restrictions on Iran to expire. Recall that Barack Obama initially wanted the Fordow facility closed in the deal but was unable to get the Iranians to agree to anything beyond the limited restrictions they are now reversing. President Trump’s pressure campaign is meant to bring the regime back to the negotiating table with more leverage than Mr. Obama had.
One risk is that the mercurial Mr. Trump loses patience with his own strategy and tries to cut a deal favorable to Tehran ahead of his re-election campaign. That’s why you can expect more Iranian threats to break out of the deal and perhaps more attacks on U.S. allies in the Middle East. The best response is for Europe and the U.S. to reforge a common front toward Iran that shows it will have to return to the negotiating table to have any hope of sanctions being eased.

3) CHINA
Puff Deal
The United States and China agreed in principle Thursday to lift some tariffs on one other in several phases if the two countries are able to reach a partial trade deal, the Wall Street Journal reported.
“If the phase-one deal is signed, China and the US should remove the same proportion of tariffs simultaneously based on the content of the deal,” China’s Commerce Ministry spokesman Gao Feng said Thursday.
The announcement depicted a phasing out agreement as a victory for China’s government, but it remains unclear if the deal can be considered a compliance mechanism to US demands.
There are also conflicting reports from the US side as to whether there was a firm commitment to reduce tariffs.
The phase-one deal is expected to prevent President Donald Trump from imposing new tariffs next month as planned, and are considered a face-saving solution for the US to claim that it has worked out a deal with China.
Both countries have been trying for months to reach an agreement on the trade dispute, with Beijing blaming Washington for the dispute and pushing hard to extract concessions.
