NEW: @realDonaldTrump on why war crimes are ok — “They’re allowed to kill our people. They’re allowed to torture and maim our people. they’re allowed to use roadside bombs and blow up our people. And we’re not allowed to touch their cultural site?. It doesn’t work that way.”
MORE: @realDonaldTrump thinks sanctions are a way to extort money from Iraq if they ask US forces to go: “We have a very extraordinarily expensive air base that’s there. It cost billions of dollars to build. Long before my time We’re not leaving unless they pay us back for it...
...if they do ask us to leave, if we don’t do it in a very friendly basis. We will charge them sanctions like they’ve never seen before ever. It’ll make Iranian sanctions look somewhat tame.”

@Independent @IndyUSA @chrisriotta Needless to say, very little in @DevinNunes opening statement is factual.
@Independent @IndyUSA @chrisriotta @DevinNunes The irony of @DevinNunes calling anyone a conspiracy theorist at this point is simply delicious.

He's now calling out Fiona Hill for debunking his conspiracy theories in her opening statement. Hill is not one to suffer fools, so it will be interesting to see if she responds.

BE SMART: It doesn’t matter who the whistleblower is. The information
s/he provided has been corroborated & supplanted by numerous witnesses with firsthand knowledge.

The only reason @realDonaldTrump wants the name out there is to encourage MAGA folk to harass/threaten them. 1/
“We need the whistleblower’s identity” is a conspiracy theory along the same lines of “we need to investigate the origins of the Russia investigation,” based on the premise that any facts uncovered are somehow invalid if the people who uncovered them disliked @realDonaldTrump. 2/
The common idea driving both conspiracy theories is a lack of comprehension of / distaste for the very concept of a professional non-political civil service.

Trump doubles down on going after Iran cultural sites: “They’re
allowed to kill our people. They’re allowed to torture and maim our people. They’re allowed to use roadside bombs and blow up our people. And we’re not allowed to touch their cultural site? It doesn’t work that way.”
Trump also tells pool he will slap Iraq with “very big sanctions” if they force US troops to leave. “We have a very extraordinarily expensive air base that’s there. It cost billions of dollars to build. Long before my time. We’re not leaving unless they pay us back for it.
Trump added: “If they do ask us to leave, if we don’t do it in a very friendly basis. We will charge them sanctions like they’ve never seen before ever. It’ll make Iranian sanctions look somewhat tame.”
