impeachment inquiry hearings thread

Nope.  Behind Morrison, to his left (on the right edge of the screen as the camera is focused on him).

Y’all can spot a possible hot woman by a single eye but need your wife’s help to find the milk in the fridge.

At least one was checking his cellphone. I'd venture a couple of the others were doing the same but can't tell for sure because of the view being blocked by the dias.

No shit.  Looking for someone to like in 21st Century politics is like scouring the bar for a bedmate at 1:45 am.

Stupid question- If/when the president is impeached and removed from office, and if/when evidence is released that substantiates the impropriety of this all, would there be consideration for bringing some of these House/Senate leaders up on charges of obstruction or treason?

There's no chance that they are going to accept a lower court ruling. Not entirely sure what they will do if Roberts rules against them. That's the endgame.

No doubt at all, more conveying the notion we're in the endgame and I'd say the vast majority on the Surl have each other's back.

Why try and say it when a gif can leave everyone questioning the response.

[cactusflinthead 27594]

All the subpoenas! Every single one of them! Drag them out of bed. No coffee except the swill in the lower bowels of the back kitchen.

Oh yeah that's some pizzazz. 

Of course none of that is going to happen. The smart ones (that's rhetorical. There's not much to suggest intelligence) will have competent counsel. Though that seems to be in awfully short supply. 

Play on. Unless he happens to stroke out and then we'll see what happens in that side quest.

[Nice Guy Eddie 13410]

Has it ever been established exactly why John Bolton quit/got fired from the National security advisor role? It happened just as the whistleblower complaint was about it get known and before the Ukraine aid was released.

Almost seems too much of a coincidence that someone at that level fights with the president in the midst of what becomes a potential impeachable offense. I suppose it could have been over another issue but that seems more of a stretch.

He hit on the president. Sexually. Something about places his mustache could tickle. Very embarrassing for everyone.

As much as I hate everything about Bolton's foreign policy and economic ideals, it is possible that he may not be a traitor and drew a line in the sand.  If so, he is someone who I would buy a beer for in spite of him being entirely wrong about everything else except treason.

Zero teeth is better than one tooth if you know what I'm saying.

His resignation letter went to the President on September 10, the aid was released on the 11th.

There always was. It's been that way from the moment that plan was hatched. Yovanovitch mentioned that polling was indicating Zelensky was leading prior to the election, but Giuliani was making moves as far back as 2018 so whether that was baked into their plan or upset it a little is something we may never know. Bolton had a 17 month tenure as NSA and Giuliani has been Trump's personal lawyer since around April of 2018 but they (Trump and Rudy) obviously knew each other prior to that. Bolton was not an Obama fan by any stretch of the imagination, but perhaps he had a code of ethics that finally forced his hand; it probably wouldn't be election meddling, but military aid.

Yeah. Sondland can easily say that why trump made some odd comments about wanting an investigation, but it was he, Sondland, that personally decided to push the Ukrainians in asking them to interfere in our elections. It’s been fairly well established that trump knows how to pressure people without really asking them. Sondland could support trump today or completely throw him under the bus.

 

[Mrs Whiggins 13049]

Am watching the pre-hearing cameras work the room. There are a number of folks downing Red Bull. (Not a fan of that) 

Big beards are a ‘thing’ with camera men, and there are a few male staffers who I would like to see get some air time today.

He’s not going to fall on the sword for Trump. He doesn’t want to go to prison.

Sondland just arrived. He’s smiling. Is that a good thing?

 

He’s a tall guy, at least compared to his hall walkers.
