Pelosi officially announces impeachment inquiry

[Methais]

Live at 10am.

I look forward to seeing you express your disappointment again when this circus is all said and done with.

Career diplomat and Trump appointed Deputy Assistant Secretary George Kent testified today that according to his first hand involvement, there is no factual basis for allegations that then Vice President Biden interfered in Ukraine's investigation and that Biden was acting in accordance with the official policy of the United States.

Though you poor misguided Trumpers will probably say he's a partisan and isn't qualified to offer evidence. Hopefully one day you'll wake up to the stench of your own bullshit.

I wouldn't worry though, Rep Jim Jordan and the other Republican committee members brought some very helpful cardboard signs. I'm sure that'll help discredit testimony.

How many episodes will Schitt run this season? I hear the plot line has a new twist, now it's um... goddamnit, I can't keep up. Was it obstruction? collusion? corruption? high crimes and misdemeanours? QPQ? Whatever, man this show has a ton of exciting turns.

Can't wait for the exciting cliffhanger until the 2020 reelection!

Gym should start worrying about his own problems. Fucking scumbag.

I love how in Nunes’s opening statement he derided the media and then the GOP has three newspaper entered into the record during the preceding.

“Evidence.” It’s the guy’s opinion. All Democrats have from any witness is opinions and feelings. Oh right, I forgot, opinions and feelings are facts to Democrats these days.

Witness testimony is pretty substantial, particularly when they confirm document's subpeonad and not turned over were in the possession of the State and White House. By following that line of questioning they ensure an obstruction of justice charge.

Republicans were on a very narrow footing at hearing demanding written materials they know damn well exist, but haven't been turned over to Congress.

It was a pretty laughable moment, as if an opinion piece were somehow more credible than the testimony of the two career diplomats.

Democrats didn't really drive their point home until then end when they summarized the obstruction, self dealing, quid pro quo and attempted blackmail. Two Democrats get major points for pointing out funds weren't released until the whistleblower complaint was given to Congress and the House announced it's investigation. Throws a real wrench into the "no harm, no foul" argument used repeatedly by Jordan.
