Watching Schiff and his questions to Macguire again, they were glorious and revealing. So exposing. 
That's why Fox-talk went into defcon-5 propaganda mode. So very well done indeed.

Trying to figure out why Trump fired Ukraine Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch this year and why Trump’s envoy to the Ukraine, Kurt Volker upon the release of the whistleblower blower complaint and Volker getting subpoenaed to testify, decided to resign. No matter how you look at it I can’t see any positive spin for Team Trump on this

Don't Noonan reacted to this
Sources with ties to (Kurt) Volkers immediate family confirmed that the former U.S. Ambassador to NATO began writing his resignation moments after watching acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph McGuires testimony about a whistle-blower on Capitol Hill. Of particular regard were his distressing answers to Representative Adam Schiff. Volker had previously had a meeting with the former DNI who resigned just days after their discussion that centered on the topic of a whistle-blower.

What more do you need to see? Is not the transcript (provided by the White House, no less) enough? The one where Trump ties military aide with investigating a political rival?
How can "I need a favor though" possibly mean anything other than quid pro quo?
It's clear as day.

Those people are Donald Trump...because that is one of the most illogical things said in here.

Pence becomes President, if only for a short period of time, if Trump resigns or is removed. I think you might be overestimating Pence’s opposition to Republicans who might support impeachment.

Why do you people keep reading so much into this quote “I need a favor, though”. Good Lord, you act like Trump wanted him to renew an investigation of his political opponent or something!

Yes the same people that claim there was no obstruction...the same people that claim the Mueller report says things that it doesn't actually say.

Wonderfully, succinctly, and eloquently put. I will be quoting and paraphrasing this throughout the weekend to friends and family who are interested in understanding why this is such a big deal. Thank you!

The "Dems" have passed a number of important bills. Too bad they've been stalled by the Republican Senate or vetoed. Isn't it strange that the same people criticizing Congress for not accomplishing anything are the same ones who criticized Obama for not being able to get anything through Congress?

The Senate specifically hasn’t done anything. Didn’t the House pass some gun reform awhile ago and the Senate hasn’t even put it up to vote. I’ve avoided this forum for quite a bit but I needed to come just for a minute, just for the small ray of light that we might be on the verge of getting rid of this corrupt swindler President. He’s a stain on humanity.

Given President Trump’s obsessive suspicion and paranoia, how long before he starts to wonder about this?

Yeah it's quite the scam the Republicans have going on there. The house passes a bill, the Senate sets on it, then the president gets on Twitter screaming "Do nothing Democrats".
timschochet
Footballguy
It is extremely important, for the sake of the 2020 elections, that the Democrats continue to stress this point and not allow the Republicans to make the argument which they’re already trying to: “All the Democrats care about is impeaching Trump; they’re not getting anything done for you.” This argument is the single biggest threat to the Democratic Party and the GOP knows it.
If I were the DNC I would make a commercial right now and run it several times a day: “On February 7, House Democrats passed this bill on reducing drug prices. It now sits on Mitch McConnell’s desk. On March 18, House Democrats passed this bill on background checks, It now sits on Mitch McConnell’s desk.” Etc. Over and over, I would flood the public with this message until I’m sure they get it.

Plenty of time for that. By the 2020 election there will probably be over 200 Bill's setting on Mitch's desk.

You might have to start the commercial with a quick explanation that “in order for a bill to become law, it needs to be passed by both the House AND the Senate.” A lot of these voters have never seen Schoolhouse Rock.

The election is over a year away. There are 2 post from Trump supporters here claiming they don't pay any attention to what the president says on a daily basis. I would imagine there are millions like that. No need to overload the general public with daily information until the Democrats have a candidate.

If true, all the more reason to make sure NONE of those cowards are afforded the privilege of representing us in Congress ever again. I REALLY hope this is pounded home during the election cycle and Senators up for reelection are asked point blank about this. I won't happen, but it's my hope.We were talking about this 36 pages ago.
Pretty Interesting claim by Flake. I don't think he's bs-ing. I've heard some rumors Ron Johnson has been pushing back on trump behind closed doors.

Since when are they worried about sticking to a position? "Hearsay" is the defense of the moment. When that disappears, it will be "Fake News, never happened". When that disappears, it will be "It's not a crime, there's nothing wrong with what he did". When that disappears, it will be "Obama! Emails! Benghazi!" Rinse and repeat.

Or they'll just call direct eyewitness testimony "hearsay" the way they did with Dr. Blasey Ford. We're not sending our best and brightest to Fox News for legal analysis.

And this is completely by design. Team Pence thinks he can really be President. I am willing to bet NONE of the Trump supporters knows anything meaningful about Pence, how he got to where he is and what his track record is to this point. I know I couldn't have until a few days ago. I didn't realize how inept he was at governing until looking at his history and I wouldn't have done that had I not heard the Fresh Air episode on him. Turns out there are several things on the internet about Pence. My worst case scenario was one where an inept Trump would be removed and replaced with a competent Pence who'd actually understand the process and be able to get things done politically. That's no longer a concern. He really is a one issue guy and that issue is abortion. That's it...that's all he's about. He has no real positions on economics, healthcare or foreign relations. He's basically Trump politically only Trump's position is "immigration" aka hating black/brown people.
Anyone who says they'd really look forward to Pence stepping up, I'd like to ask if you're even aware of his positions, or lack thereof?

This particular message isn't specific to an individual (unless you want to call out McConnell). It's a message about the brokenness in our system and I think the more that point is brought up when we see obvious points of brokenness the better.

Knowing Trump, he probably got Pence involved to try and save himself. There’s quite a difference between President Pence and President Pelosi. It will be nearly impossible for any Republican in the Senate to vote for removal if Pence is guilty of the same crimes and would also need to be removed.

Some seem vague, like gun control or civil rights. I wasn't aware of any gun legislation signed into law. Perhaps I should have clarified it as "signed into law".

They can’t be signed into law if the Senate is blocking them. It appears that your problem is that you don’t know how the government works.
