Demos not happy that their planting of her over there in the first place... to help smooth the way for the Bidens to do their underworld Ukraine thing - got twarted

 

 

Those ridiculous charges against Yovanovitch stem from 2 corrupt confederates of Dymtro Firtash. It was thanks partly to the efforts of Yovanovitch that Firtash was deprived of his corrupt participation in the Ukrainian national gas company. You'll be pleased to know that with Firtash gone, and honest governance being put in place by its new chief, Andriy Kobolev, it is now making a profit for Ukraine instead of running at a huge loss.

The head of Ukraine’s gas company has been shot at, pilloried on TV and attacked by Giuliani associates. It’s all in a day’s work.

...Kobolyev came under attack by two associates of Rudolph Giuliani, President Trump’s personal attorney. They wanted to install a new Naftogaz chief and secure a gas-supply deal.

After reading the statement that the counsolor that had dinner with Sondland about Trump's phone call I suspect that he will either take the 5th or be a no show next Wednesday, or maybe he shpuld immediately request protective custody - but from who, certainly not Bill Barr's bunch.  Funny that the deposition was on the day that Stone was convicted of lying to Congress and witness tampering!  I bet Stone is hoping Trump is sharprning his pardonning pencil but I bet  he is saving that for Ivanka and Donald.

I believe that’s the first time I’ve said it.

 

Though I might have said, ‘the Impeachment has just started’ or ‘the Impeachment is in progress’.

 

Sorry if it irks you, it’s not intentionally directed at you personally.

You you gonna sit there & act like you've not been basically the same thing on every Trump subject since Trump took office and been wrong every single time before?

He just pardoned those military folks with that very pencil so I don't think hes saving it for anything.

When the news broke, Republicans responded by saying Trump had done nothing wrong. Then we learned that Trump had pushed the Ukraine to investigate the Bidens.

Then Republicans claimed there was no quid pro quo. Nick Mulvaney disagreed.

Then the Republicans claimed that Trump was concerned about corruption in Ukraine. It turns out the only "corruption" he was concerned about was the alleged corruption of the Bidens.

Then Republicans complained about secret testimony under Schiff. Now the testimony isn't secret and they're still complaining.

Then Republicans claimed that because Trump ultimately released the aid, he had done nothing wrong. You know, like a someone who tries to rob a bank but fails.

And, of course, all along there's been this red herring about the identity of the whistleblower, even though pretty much everything he claimed has been independently confirmed.

As far as I know she wasn't aware of the tweet until it was read to her today.

As trump’s intimidation tactics happened while she was giving testimony how could she have known about it earlier?

It's inevitable, someday someone is going to tell President Trump: " Your Fired!"...

 

But until that time there are issues and obligations that must be attended to...a Washington consumed with "How did that make you feel dear?"...is not getting the job done...????

This isn't, or shouldn't be, about democrats or the GOP, it's about rule of law and decency, I don't care what party Trump is in, he has broken the law, made a mockery of the USA and is as indecent a human being as it can get, he is a one man mafia show.

The House Congress is dealing with the Impeachment.

 

The Senate has a large backlog of House Resolutions that McConnell is sitting on.

 

Let’s pretend that’s not a fact.

It is the same in the UK with brexit but these things happen and they have to be dealt with, you can't have an unstable mafiosi running America.

Sonderland is up next week.  The guy is probably living in a pool of his own sweat afraid they're going to cancel his ticket.

Don't leave the house this weekend, Gordon.

I stayed up late watching the impeachment hearing about the sacking of the American ambasador to Ukraine.

 

The Dems stuck to facts.

 

The Republicans most constant attack (not for the first time) was that the original whistle blower was not being identified. It was all so unfair. They were raging about that.

 

Its like in a criminal trial of those who robbed a bank .. the defence getting hysterical the person who had phoned the police to report the crime .... is being protected from being identified.

 

Durrrrrrr.

 

Never mind the umpteen subsequent witnesses and admissions ... we are going to just drone on angrily and repeatedly that you wont identify the person who called the police. 

 

Of course they just want to distract and intimidate and they got no logical way to defend the undefendable.

With respect I think the point is she was about to most certainly hear of the intimidation at the scheduled long break. The pause was about to happen before the Republican lawyer questioned her.

 

Schiff knew she would be told by her support staff.  Also it was meant to intimidate future witnesses too.   Some of Trumps supporters are nasty.

 

(Trump was tweeting nasty spiteful childish stuff about her as she spoke .. for those not following the context .. and the chairman informed the witness and hearing what was going on. And hinted it was a possible further impeachable crime)

What a small, small man.

 

It is truly a sad thing to see where the US has gone under Trump; as a kid I recall thinking that the US was Reagan's "Shining Beacon" and was a country that was a (imperfect) model for others. Now, it is simply embarrassing.

 

I have said it before and sadly need to say it again;

 

Donald Trump is an ever-expanding cloud of toxic waste that defiles everything it touches.

 

I sincerely hope that the US can find it way again after the departure of this bucket of slime.

 

 

 

 

Trump= greatest POTUS in history. MAGA

"Democrats see intimidation."

 

Who in their right mind can interpret Trump's tweet as intimidation?

 

A few synonyms:

 

• coercion
• frightening
• browbeating
• cowing
• daunting
• demoralizing
• scare tactics
• terrorizing
• threatening

What language in that tweet suggests any of the above?

 

None.

 

Just another instance where Democrats expose themselves for the lying, fake people that they are.

The only way for him to save his face (and repay his huge personal debts) is to move forward even if he knows it's a dead end. Whatever it costs (climate change, corruption, civilians killed in the third world as in Syria...), He will be re-elected with beautiful promises and promises that only bind him ...

Pathetic, egocentric, big liar, bad businessman... but ... an incredible GREAT Comedian (maybe better than Ronald Reagan)

While Sonderland waits his turn he can ponder the fact that a witness to his call with Trump has already given his sworn testimony to Congress and named two other witnesses into the bargain.

 

Sonderland has no wiggle room left.

 

He might throw a glance at Stone if he wishes to consider gaming it.

[Tippaporn]

Maybe the Dems can include Trump's tweet as one of their articles of impeachment.

You have a problem.

 

The witness stated while under oath that she found the President’s remarks intimidating.

 

Perhaps you should start examining the President ‘s Hoover to behave the way he has.
