Impeachment Inquiry 2: Now It's Official!

[fraurosena]

Pompeo, DOJ, State Department, Pence, Giuliani, all under the bus. Was Sondland a bad actor? Hell yes. But, praise Rufus, he's making up for it now...

This is a huge historic moment. This is the end of Trump.

What is Faux saying, if anything?

I blocked it on my TV, so I can't tune to it, but here's what Kilmeade just posted:

@GreyhoundFan I think Faux News couldn't be more wrong. A lot of people see the behavior of the GOP on their screens and donate to their opponents. See Tedra Cobb and I've read somewhere that the opponent of the cow also raised a significant amount of money in a short time. The GOPs only chance is voter suppression and unsafe voting machines.

It would be a wonderful bonus if Mulvaney and Pompeo go down as part of this process.

Trump's latest tweets... 

 

[Smash!]

But he hasn't been seen since his visit to John Reed right? ?

I guess he had to abandon the rote “republicans doing a great job in hearings.”

He was on TV yesterday.

"Going full John Dean" is a great expression.

And boom! There goes Pence!

"I informed Pence about the hold on the security assistance and the contingency that was laid upon it."

(paraphrase)

I would love to see the faces of the trumplicans right now instead of Schiff and Sondland.

Sondland seems so  . . . . cheerful. Is he just as goofy as he looks?

And I'm envious -- Zelensky doesn't love my ass.

[fraurosena]

Sondland also has that mysterious illness that causes memory deficiency:

"I honestly, honestly do not recall."

[SassyPants]

So is the Republican defense that because the Ukrainians never purportedly investigated the Bidens and aid was eventually supplied, Trump is innocent?

 

If a bank robber is caught in the act of robbing the bank, and never gets the haul, is the robber innocent of attempting to rob the bank? Is said robber allowed to walk away, or become the POTUS?

Perhaps he should have taken notes- Nah, easier to use the DNR defense.

[fraurosena]

I love that Goldman is now digging into Pence's involvement.

He's been saying he's not a note-taker.

It is the only defense they have at this point. If my republicans representatives ever show their faces back in NC I would love to ask them about this.

In that case, the robber would be innocent if he was a repug or if he was trying to steal from a Dem. If the robber was a Dem, they'd be chanting, "lock him up". Remember, as far as the R party goes, it's all hypocrisy, all the time.

 

[GreyhoundFan]

Milk Dud just said that Dems believe that the tangerine toddler was/is a Russian agent. Um, no, he's not intelligent enough to be an agent; he's a Russian asset, a useful fool.

Nunes' "questions," summed up:

"Were you aware that EVERYTHING IS THE DEMOCRATS' FAULT?! Whaaaaa!"

[fraurosena]

What did I miss whilst walking the dogs and getting groceries?

 

I'm just falling into the trumplican counsel's questioning. Is my impression that the trumplicans haven't altered their prepared questioning, regardless of Sondland's flipping?

[SassyPants]

OK...if Trump truly believed that Hunter Biden’s affiliation with the Ukrainian energy company was untoward, why didn’t Trump make the proper referrals to the appropriate committee(s), instead of attempting to bribe the Ukrainians, and why did it take Trump nearly 3 years to get around to thwarting this potential corruption? 

 

Nunes and the Republicans are really looking desperate here.
