mr6666 Posted October 24 Kevin Whitelaw @KevinWhitelaw1 NEW: Trump had advance knowledge and supported a protest by Republicans who told him they planned to barge into a secure hearing room on Capitol Hill where Democrats are holding impeachment testimonies, according to four people familiar with the matter. =================================== @SethAbramson · 1h This... well... this may be a crime. Donald Trump orchestrating the intimidation, obstruction, or harassment of a federal witness in an ongoing federal investigation he knows about and knows he's a subject in or even the target of? Crimes committed in public are *still crimes*. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is not an easy article to cherry-pick but I'll try The Fix Analysis Here are the next shoes to drop in the Trump-Ukraine scandal So what do we need to find out next? The first big question involves an aide who figures prominently in Taylor’s narrative: Tim Morrison, the head of the White House National Security Council’s Eurasia desk. In arguably the most significant disclosure by Taylor, Morrison allegedly told him that Sondland had relayed an explicit quid pro quo to a top aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Andriy Yermak. ... Another key element is what Sondland might say from here on out. As I noted in my takeaways post, there appear to be major discrepancies between what he said in his testimony last week and what Taylor said Tuesday. A key example: Sondland said, “I recall no discussions with any State Department or White House official about former vice president Biden or his son, nor do I recall taking part in any effort to encourage an investigation into the Bidens." Compare that to Taylor’s hearing about Morrison’s version of events, and it’s difficult to square them. ... Once we go beyond Taylor’s testimony, there is the matter of the White House transcript of that Trump-Zelensky call. There continue to be unanswered questionsabout whether it was the full picture, with ellipses coming at key junctures when Trump was talking about the investigations mentioned above. We knew that it was a rough transcript based upon notes taken by those listening in on the call, but there are some indications and suggestions that there might be a word-for-word transcript somewhere. And one last timely and potentially major matter is what happens next with Giuliani. There have been mixed messages about whether he is under investigation and if so, for what, after two business associates of his, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, were indicted recently. Republicans, including Trump, have distanced themselves from Giuliani, perhaps worried about how brazen he might have been in this whole time frame. We’ve already seen what happened when one of Trump’s personal lawyers got into trouble (see: Cohen, Michael); it’s not difficult to think what might happen if Giuliani is truly in hot water. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it was a secret meeting, then how do you know about it, dipstick? Like I said in the other thread, there are Republicans in the same hearings. The guys who stormed the hearing room are clowns and morons. Which I guess is why you guys keep electing them. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They wanted the optic of being frog marched out of the SCIF in front of TV cameras. That would help w/GOP narrative of Dem process abuse ---------------------------------------- @tedlieu · 29m Instead, Republicans sat around the SCIF and ate pizza. Then they left. And then the three Committees proceeded with the deposition of Pentagon official Laura Cooper.
