  1. It's kinda too late. He already gave faulty answers to Congress in closed testimony. Today Reps. Cicilline and Speier signaled to him the damage is done. Now is his moment of reckoning.
  2. Keep in mind that tomorrow the aide to Bill Taylor who overheard the Trump call to Sondland while in Kiev will testify behind closed doors to Congress. And Sondland is slated to appear for public testimony next week headed by staff counsel. While Goldman is more than competent, Sondland's misdirection and equivocation sounds like a job for Barry Berke to take the lead. Now with House members Ciciilline and Speier sending out these signals today, the public testimony pucker factor just increased for the hotelier/ambassador
  3. Gates just testified in the Stone trial he was sitting in the car with Trump when Trump took a call from Stone that Trump revealed to Gates involved a discussion about Wiki hack and drops to benefit his campaign. So there's that.
  4. Either way, impeachment is happening, and the Mueller report wrt Trump obstruction of justice is one on the tracks of Trump's impeachment. I expect the House will be able to incorporate this evidence into the formal impeachment trial. It's not really registering on a national scale at this moment, but it stands to garner more attention when the House progresses to it. At a minimum, the threat should put a real damper on any notion of a Stone pardon should he go to prison.
  5. Fruit of the Roger Stone trial: Trump continues to lie and obstruct justice to hide you know what.
  6. This news I think relates to a different case from Mazars but a parallel case to obtain Trump's tax filings:
  7. If the courts rule against Trump and all options are exhausted (getting there!) Mazars indicated it will comply with turning over Trump's files, for one. Nothing Trump can do to stop it. And I suspect Mazars has a reputation to preserve beyond defying the courts for a two-bit fraudster.
  8. bloop. "...Congress can seek eight years of President Trump’s tax records, according to a federal appeals court order Wednesday that moves the separation-of-powers conflict one step closer to the Supreme Court. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit let stand an earlier ruling against the president that affirmed Congress’s investigative authority on a day when the House was holding its first public impeachment inquiry hearing. Trump’s lawyers have said they are prepared to ask the Supreme Court to intervene in this case and in several other legal battles between the president and Congress. The D.C. Circuit was responding Wednesday to Trump’s request to have a full panel of judges rehear a three-judge decision from October that rejected the president’s request to block lawmakers from subpoenaing his longtime accounting firm.The order does not mean Trump’s taxes will be turned over to Congress immediately. The D.C. Circuit previously said it would put any ruling against the president on hold for seven days to give Trump’s attorneys time to ask the Supreme Court to step in. Trump’s attorneys also are planning to ask the high court as soon as this week to block a similar subpoena for the president’s tax records from the Manhattan district attorney, who is investigating hush-money payments in the lead-up to the 2016 election. The New York-based appeals court ruled against Trump this month and refused to block the subpoena to his accounting firm, Mazars USA."
  9. Pile it on nevertheless, even if it comes down to elections. At a minimum, elections remain a last viable remedy. And while there is plenty to suggest our electoral system is unbalanced and sputtering, there is clear evidence it's not a total wipeout. 2018 mideterms happened. Doug Jones happened. Virginia state legislature flipping last week happened. And perhaps most significantly, the Dem candidate won KY Governorship despite a propaganda effort on the electorate similar to the social media assault seen in the Russian Internet Research Agency operation in 2016. So pile it on. The House must incorporate new evidence from the Roger Stone trial to double down on Trump articles of impeachment and to counter the unending assault by Bill Barr to undermine Mueller's report. No letting up.
  10. And the evidence proving the above revelation should absolutely be included in his articles of impeachment.
  11. All indications are Trump committed perjury to Mueller to obstruct their coordination (criminal conspiracy) with the Russian hack and release to benefit his electoral prospects.
  12. It’ll easily outlive Tulsi’s candidacy.
  13. - You're obviously unaware of testimony/evidence in the ongoing Roger Stone trial. -You don't have a problem with private data being stolen by foreign powers then being publicly welcomed and knowingly used to damage a political opponent. You know what that makes you ? It isn't pretty and smells. Again, pay attention to the evidence and testimony on the fucking Roger Stone trial before play idiot. - You know what Greenwald completely fails to mention or consider in that piece of shit article ? Mueller nailing down all three elements for nearly a dozen charges of obstruction of justice. get the fuck out.
  14. Assange coordinated with Putin’s military intelligence apparatus and Roger Stone to break the law and install Trump. You don’t consider him ‘a villain’ whatever the hell that means. Greenwald has consistently been a Russian election attack denier. Left or right he’s detached from reality on this matter and can take his Putin puffing and go fuck himself. oh, and BUT HILLARY! lol
  15. Staff legal counsel hired by Pelosi took the right approach. Focus on the one at the top. If/when the courts rule McGahn can be compelled to testify, all the rest of the witnesses, including Bolton, will form a cascade.
