LOL I like the quotes in posters behind the Republican chairs.... The one from the Congress-critter that said if we don't impeach him, he will get reelected. Then there are some tweets from Mark Zaid about this being a coup, and I missed what the third one said.

The House Intelligence Committee has to be the biggest misnomer in existence today. Soft-coup Part 2 (hey! that rhymes) starts at 10am. It is on C-span 3.

I am sure he was honest and forthcoming. Australian media reporting that US atty Durham has interviewed Alexander Downer U.S. attorney John Durham is running an investigation into the Russia hoax that has been almost airtight. A fragment of information on his activities, however, comes our way via Australian media. </snip> Former Australian foreign affairs minister Alexander Downer has reportedly told a US investigator he did not try to bring down Donald Trump during the 2016 US presidential election. US Attorney John Durham, tasked with investigating the origins of the probe into Russian influence in the election, is understood to have interviewed Mr Downer in London last month and reviewed a confidential Australian diplomatic cable to clarify Australia's role, The Australian reports. Mr Durham is also believed to have interviewed Australian diplomat Erika Thompson, who arranged and attended the Downer-Papadopoulos meeting. He is understood to have asked Mr Downer whether he knew Joseph Mifsud, the Maltese academic who told Mr Papa­dopoulos the Russian govern­ment had "dirt" on Hillary Clinton. </snip>

Some early days (I expect we will see more) of the Eric Ciaramella payola info: (thread)

Synopsis: There is no "whistleblower". There is a (junior) member of the deep state who worked for Joe Biden, Brennan, the Obama administration, who now has an ICIG complaint against him for accepting a pay-off (via gofundme). His name is Eric Ciaramella (the CIA at the beginning of his name is just a bit of irony). Schiffy is in deep do-do along with a bunch of his friends in the deep state over graft, leaking, yada yada. This "inquiry" is a kangaroo court to try and distract from (what we expect to be) a devastating OIG report for the former Obama administration officials. The "MSM" is aiding and abetting his clownish efforts.

If they merge the two threads the older thread would become the owner of the newer thread (Tibs would again be the OP). Time to bring over some of the better links and commentary. ?

I've seen people suggest the day before Thanksgiving. While it would not shock me, it would send a huge message that they are burying this good and deep away from the average American. And, that would suck. This could be why Grassley is saying "next week" instead of "two weeks." ?‍♂️

Whoa...

I don't think Pence is winning anything. He's just so blah. I could be wrong. Maybe he finds a Johnny Quest to be his running mate and people can't help but vote for that ticket?

I thought she was under investigation for something or another? Oh yeah, the IRS is looking into her "non-profit". It will not prevent her from winning, but I am pretty sure she's already got the corruption part down pat.

The kind where you launder money through gofundme. The left seems quite good at it.

The irony of Schiff threatening an ethics violation...

There has been statements from the four translators that the call transcript is accurate (oops Schiffy), from everyone in the room that it is accurate (oopsie Schiffy), testimony in Congress from Vindman (oopsie Schiff) that the "release the whole testimony" is spin as the translations are what is released, not the original language (so whatever the Ukrainian guy spoke, only the translation is in there, same for the English Trump spoke being translated for the Ukrainian guy). It is why a 10 minute transcript is shown on a 30 minute call (I "think" it is 12 minutes and 31 minutes, but don't have the exact numbers at my fingertips).

Oh come on now, he's an updating citizen just trying to help other upstanding citizens. (San Fran is *****.) Son of Convicted Weather Underground Cop Killers, Raised by Ayers and Dohrn, Elected DA in San Francisco The son of Weather Underground domestic terrorists convicted of felony murder for their role in the Brinks armored car robbery in 1981, has won a tightly contested race for district attorney in San Francisco. Chesa Boudin won after campaigning to reform the the criminal justice system in a city already known for having a very liberal criminal justice system. In October of 1981, Boudin’s parents, Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, joined other members of the Weather Underground and the Black Liberation Army to rob a Brink’s armored car at the Nanuet Mall, in Nanuet, New York. While in the process of stealing $1.6 million from the armored car, the self-professed revolutionaries killed Sgt. Edward Grady, Officer Waverly “Chipper” Brown, and Brinks guard Peter Paige, as well as wounded Paige’s partner Joseph Trombino. </snip> Chesa Boudin, a toddler at the time of the Brinks robbery, was adopted by Weather Underground terrorist leaders Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn and spent his childhood years in Chicago before studying law at Yale University. Before coming to San Francisco, Boudin, a fellow socialist, worked as a translator for Venezuela’s late President Hugo Chavez. </snip>

Make one! And I love Sarah Palin. What a raw deal she got from that ***** John McCain and the "MSM".

LOL This outta be good. The Bidens may have indulged in the graft, but they were certainly not alone. I want to see how he approaches some of the others like the Clintons, and John McCain.

Dropping this here too.

LOL

Why did people think they were paying billions for fitbit?

Yeah, I'm not holding my breath. Well then, mission accomplished fake impeachment inquiry and "MSM".

But, but, but ... #OrangeManBad #OrangeManStupid yada yada I agree he has known about a lot of this (or at least the possibility of this) since the Admiral Rogers meeting. I am not sure he realized it was a soft-coup immediately. I am one who believes that if the Ds had shown any sign of willingness to work with his agenda, he'd have let bygones by bygones. Once they went after him and his family though, well, there is a reason he has written and has spoken lovingly about revenge.

LOL Highly partisan? Me? I am registered no party affiliation for a reason. I am very pro-American and anti-coup, however. I would not risk my life in a treasonous scheme to spy on the President, so I cannot answer that question.
