PAY DIRT: “Whistleblower” Eric Ciaramalla Hosted Jan 19, 2016 WH Mtg. – Same Day US Told Ukraine in WH Mtg. to Fire Prosecutor Investigating Hunter Biden

No wonder the whistle blower was so alarmed by the phone call, he just learned he was being investigated.

Let me un-Fox that.
The prosecutor was not investigating anything. That was why he was fired.

"un-Fox"is a useful neologism, meaning to remove lies and add rationality...

But all the transcripts are now published!

Newscorpse:
Trump is now boldly calling for Schiff to be “investigared,” despite the fact that Schiff has nothing that even warrants being investigated, much less investigared. Trump is so “investi-scared” he can’t communicate coherently. Which may explain why he thinks that “doctored transcripts” are a thing. All congressional transcripts are signed off on by the witnesses for accuracy. So there is no such thing as Democratic or Republican transcripts. What Trump must be thinking of are doctored summary memos of transcripts, like the ones that he and his Attorney Genuflect, Bill Barr, have disseminated.

did a segment on Rick Perry’s interaction with the Ukraine when he showed up for the inauguration ceremony.

Perry gave the new president of Ukraine a list of GOP political donors who should get 50 year gas & oil contracts in Ukraine.

They got the contracts.

Trump has discussed firing the inspector general for the intelligence community, Michael Atkinson. The president believes Atkinson was disloyal when he deemed the whistleblower's complaint credible and reported it to Congress. #déjàvu? w/

What is the point of these hearings? Who are they supposed to be talking to? Who are they trying to convince? Just what the actual fuck?

Just go home, you're worthless, and this isn't law.

Taylor's testimony appears to definitively tie Trump into the 'do an investigation for me' pressure campaign.

'William Taylor: Trump asked Sondland about "the investigations" all the way back in July'

Ambassador William Taylor, the Trump administration's top official in Ukraine, returned to the impeachment proceedings for the first day of public testimony with a potentially damning revelation.

In his prepared remarks, Taylor revealed:

Last Friday, a member of my staff told me of events that occurred on July 26. While Ambassador Volker and I visited the front, this member of my staff accompanied Ambassador Sondland. Ambassador Sondland met with Mr. Yermak. Following that meeting, in the presence of my staff at a restaurant, Ambassador Sondland called President Trump and told him of his meetings in Kyiv. The member of my staff could hear President Trump on the phone, asking Ambassador Sondland about 'the investigation.' Ambassador Sondland told President Trump that the Ukrainians were ready to move forward. Following the call with President Trump, the member of my staff asked Ambassador Sondland what President Trump thought about Ukraine. Ambassador Sondland responded that President Trump cares more about the investigations of Biden, which Giuliani was pressing for.

This implies that it was way back in July that U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland had explained to the Ukrainians that they would not get U.S. aid until they announced they were investigating the Bidens and that Trump had known even then.

Until now, it was at least theoretically possible that Sondland was freelancing, taking things further than Trump had ordered when he used the aid as leverage. But Taylor's testimony may have just thrown a fatal wrench into that defense. Although Taylor had testified earlier that it wasn't until Sept. 1 that he was specifically told about this demand for an investigation announcement in exchange for the aid, Taylor has now moved up the timeline by more than a month. Trump might have been in on this scheme as early as July 26.

What?? They're doing their job. Have you developed amnesia and forgotten what's been happening over the last three years?
