    1. Since the hearings are over, It’s quite important to go through the legal steps of determining whether or not the evidence given to the public is strong enough to impeach under the constitutional definition of high crimes and misdemeanors. This discussion needs to analyse the charges including the charge of bribery.

    1. It seems like his biggest priority is to get a $2 million book deal while he watched his subordinates fry during the impeachment process…if he doesn’t testify, I see him as a national security issue.

    2. @Zooey of course they didn’t that would require them to actually want to know the truth and not stick their head in the sand.

    1. jee jee – If you’ve never seen donors become ambassadors before you’ve been sleeping through past administrations from both parties. But, there are actually also people who think Obama never apprehended illegal migrants at the border. While Tump was “ripping children from their mothers’ arms to lock them in cages,” Obama merely protected them from adult and teenage predetors in chain link partitions.

      Few people are buying the spin on any of this nonsense anymore,

  1. Well, it appears that Gordon Sonland and others weren’t listening to Ambassadors Marie Yonovich and others, while Fiona Hill said “don’t do that” Gordon Sonland said Yes pro qou, when your leader said no qou pro on the front lawns. Chris, is there a problem with listening skills over there? Isn’t the job of leaders to listen to voters?

  2. The diplomats swear an oath to protect and defend the constitution, not to the president. They have no obligation to cover for the president.

  3. credible witness and an Anonymous whistleblower lol, Keep trying to make this narrative work it’s begging to be comical.

  4. I.G. Mick Horowitz: “FBI employees were discouraged from documenting concusions and recommendations about sor
    urces”.

  5. Now, the Jews really overstepped on this one – literally everyone involved in this farce is Jewish. You just go down the list and it’s like wow, literally everyone!

    1. Metaphorically “beef”= factual OBJECTIVE news . There is NO “beef “ at CNN. CNN fake news is a horde of FLEAS that spreads hate plague as they PLEASE. NO OBJECTIVITY, known fact.

    1. @nevermore from past I believe them. But they didn’t have any evidence of wrongdoing. Just didn’t like Trumps policy and they got butthurt.
