Honestly, my least favourite part of the new website layout is that now this politics nonsense is on the main page.
I always have to wonder why these people do any of the dodgy stuff via email. Surely anyone with half a brain, would either verbally do it, or at the very least use a method that doesn't leave a paper trail
Probably the Senators Trump met. They probably told Trump he has to show a modicum of cooperation so their support doesn't look bad.How has that come out of State? Who authorized it?

“bmilohill on Reddit” said:Schiff spent a full day on Marie Yovanovitch. She and Gordon Sondland both got a full hearing to themselves, as they were the most important. Everyone else was doubled up.
She was recalled the same day Zelenski took office. She wasn't in a position to know anything about the July 25th phone call. She wasn't in office when the military aid was withheld. And yet Schiff spent a full day really hammering home just how unusual it was for her to be smeared by Giuliani and removed by Trump. For an inquiry supposedly laser focused on the military aid hold, he spend a whole day on ancient history.
The Zelenksi quid pro quo was round 2. It was Trump trying to pressure the honest president of Ukraine. Yavonovich was a problem because Trump had something up and running before Zelenski took office. The original quid pro quo. Nunes' meeting wasn't after Zelenksi took office in May. It wasn't around the July phone call. Or the September release of the hold. It was last year.
Schiff spent a day getting ready for this to drop. Damn right he knew.

The person who handed it over might have been there late on a Friday afternoon specifically so they could hand over the documents to DNC lawyers waving a court order. I'm sure that not everybody there is happy with what is going on.There was a FOIA request to the state department that was upheld in court. I’m guessing a team of lawyers arrived at the state department backed up by the court order and tuned a lower ranking official with access to the systems to start handing it over or personally be charged with obstruction.
The timing seems perfect, late Friday evening. It was 3 weeks ago the court first ordered them to be handed over. It’s either that or they’ve spent 3 weeks identifying who has access and would be willing to comply.
Sounds like Trump does what he wants.
He doesn't follow rules and moans witch hunt when people pull him up.
That's why Trump didn't get caught up in the Russia prob like he was supposed to be.I always have to wonder why these people do any of the dodgy stuff via email. Surely anyone with half a brain, would either verbally do it, or at the very least use a method that doesn't leave a paper trail

No, the Russians just realized the Trump team was too incompetent to be trusted with carrying out that subterfuge without blowing it wide open and exposing them.That's why Trump didn't get caught up in the Russia prob like he was supposed to be.
Just finished reading this.Unbelievable stuff and it goes to show why Nunes is looking so broken and haunted at the moment. He’s in way above his head and has been involved in this Ukraine thing from origins.
If Schiff can somehow organise Parnas to testify then it would be absolutely box office stuff. I’d wager that Nunes is a no show to that one rather than risk being broadcast live around the globe as Parnas starts unravelling his conspiracies and literally pointing the finger at him saying “you should know what you are saying is false, you were there when we were making it up. Some of these are your own stories”.
That's a good point. But one of his cronies also mentioned that he avoids using email.No, the Russians just realized the Trump team was too incompetent to be trusted with carrying out that subterfuge without blowing it wide open and exposing them.
You know, sort of like how this scheme went...
Schiff is playing this nicely if he gets Parnas testifying to Nunes face about his crooked ways.
I'd imagine Nunes wouldn't show up if Parnas were to testify.
fake doctor's note?How can he explain that? He's the ranking member.

Is Fiona Hill an ex Brit?
