New Impeachment Transcripts Released Today

George Kent?

That's the guy that had the "do not prosecute" list.

What an absolute joke.

Oh, and Yovanovich lied under oath about that email with the staffer. She'll have her day under the hot lights.

When these people are cross-examined by Republicans next week, they will be reduced to babbling like Bob Mueller was.

Haven't Republicans already been asking questions of those giving testimony?

You can’t make this stuff up.

Last week the ardent Trump supporters were “show us the evidence, transparency, why the closed door meetings”?

Now the same folks are saying “this testimony from multiple witnesses means nothing, the President is not guilty and even if he is the Senate is not going to remove him so naaah.”

Yes, but that’s a fact, and facts are inconvenient to the defense of the President.

Saying the same thing 10 different ways doesn't add up to 10x the evidence.

Maybe not, but it makes that evidence 10X as damning.

Add in Text Records and Transcripts and the truth becomes inescapable.

I've been telling you all the inescapable truth for a while.

To say it any more directly would violate T&C.

Public hearings will be interesting. Public opinion will determine how far it goes once the evidence is out there.

A.) There was no quid pro quo - because the money was not held back - and there has been no investigation of the Bidens

Bank robbers are still arrested even when they don't escape with the cash.

B.) The transcript is available to read and anyone with an IQ of 100 can read it and realize there was no quid pro quo.

The transcript formalizes the extortion.

C.) The Ukranians deny they were coerced to do anything.

Not successfully coerced. Without the WB complaint going public things would have been different.
Meanwhile multiple Ukrainian Officials have begun to speak up about the extortion racket.

There is no crime if there is no victim.

12k-13k Ukrainians are estimated to have died fighting the Russian Invasion. How many lives might have been lost while Trump delayed military aid until he got help with his campaign? Don't know, but pretty sure even one dead soldier is too many in trade for Trump's extortion for campaign assistance.

And of course in the founding Father's view, we are all victims when a wannabe despot abuses his power.

Into the Bidens? the investigators pressed.

“To the best of my recollection, yes,” he said. “My visceral reaction to what was being called for suggested that it was explicit. There was no ambiguity.

To the best of His recollection? This is the same Guy who changed His testimony? So His memory isn't that great?

He did not change his testimony.

Sondland, the EU Amb Trump had running the extortion internally changed his testimony to agree with "this guy".

"this guy" is a decorated Iraq Veteran who still carries shrapnel from the war.

Markiv was one of 25 Ukrainian fatalities on the front line since July 18, the day Trump quietly put on hold a $391-million military aid package appropriated by Congress for Ukraine last year.

They were cross-examined by Republicans during the depositions that have been released.

How has that worked out? Apart from Sondland amending testimony to avoid perjury charges or Trump saying today there should NOT be public hearings?

A petty man who used a quack doctor and a fake bone spurs diagnosis to avoid serving his country..

Attacks a Lt. Col. and Purple Heart Recipient who fought in Iraq and spent his life in service of his country..

While letting soldiers of our allies die on the battlefield until he gets his foreign interference and help in his domestic re-election campaign.

It is sickening. America is not that.

This will be different. Lies and omissions exposed. Bright Lights. Millions of people watching. Yes, very very different.

But the investigation was already re-opened

Document reveals Ukraine had already reopened probe of Hunter Biden-linked firm months before Trump phone call

A newly unearthed document shows that Ukrainian officials had opened a new probe into the firm linked to Hunter Biden months before President Trump's phone call with that country's leader, Fox News contributor John Solomon reported late Tuesday.

Solomon said Tuesday on "Hannity" that the U.S. government knew Ukraine was planning to look again into activities at Burisma Holdings, an energy company that employed then-Vice President Joe Biden's son as a member of its board of directors, early this year. The report is noteworthy because President Trump has been accused by Democrats of threatening in July to withhold foreign aid to Ukraine unless its new president pursued an investigation into the company and the younger Biden's role there.

"The U.S. government had open-source intelligence and was aware as early as February of 2019 that the Ukrainian government was planning to reopen the Burisma investigation," he claimed. "This is long before the president ever imagined having a call with President Zelensky," he added, noting Petro Poroshenko was still Ukraine's president at that time.

Lindsay Graham has declared he will not read the depositions.
Pres. Trump now says there should NOT be public hearings.

The testimony is well past damning and growing.

What POTUS has engaged in is a nightmare that would have jolted any of founding fathers wide awake in the dead of night.

Looking forward to some sunlight.

The GOP should Subpoena John Bolton, Mick Mulvaney and other WH staff Trump has forbidden from testifying.

Should clear things up quickly.

Everything seems to be working great for the long term goals. Moving on to planning who we nominate in 2024 since 2020 is over.

You should let me know in a year how it worked out for you.

Who is "we".
You are a team player? Not judging, fly that Trump flag high.
I am a team player too, but followed the stars and stripes onto the field.

I am less concerned with how it works out for me in a year and more concerned with how it works out for my team.

It only further shows what is happening in the house is a coup agaisnt the president and even the whistleblower admitted it on his social media page.

Yup. Exactly.

And I'm downright embarrassed that so many people are stuck in the liberal echo chamber that they don't even see that this Star Chamber is all about protecting the guilty in their own party who have used and abused them in countless ways to enrich themselves.

If there were any honor or integrity in this impeachment process, then the Dems running the show would DEMAND that the investigation into the Bidens be completed first, if not for their own conscience and self-respect (oh dear... I had to laugh at the thought!), then to further prove Trump's malfeasance by PROVING Biden's innocence.

Oh wait. They can't do that... because Biden et al must be guilty as sin.

Your source states that the Ukrainians were looking into Burisma not into either Biden.

Right there, in your own quote.

The rest is opinion.
