Guliani was having Yovanovitch followed by his henchmen.  That's what we're dealing with here.

Clinton was impeached for lying under oath about who he had sex with.

True but at least he testified. Trump would convict himself within five minutes of opening his mouth .

A bit of a tough day for Trump between the impeachment process moving to the senate and the Rachel Maddow interview with Lev Parnas. Part two of that interview tomorrow.

US Intel. heads now want to stop the annual public briefing on potential security threats lest the anger Trump.

"The U.S. intelligence community is trying to persuade House and Senate lawmakers to drop the public portion of an annual briefing on the globe’s greatest security threats — a move compelled by last year’s session that provoked an angry outburst from President Donald Trump, multiple sources told POLITICO.

Officials from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, on behalf of the larger clandestine community, don’t want agency chiefs to be seen on-camera as disagreeing with the president on big issues such as Iran, Russia or North Korea, according to three people familiar with preliminary negotiations over what's known as the Worldwide Threats hearing."

Wait, wasn't this the same guy who used such Intel. to order an assassination in Iran just a bit ago?
Can you say "Hypocrite"

One of Trump's main legal team members has certainly flip-flopped on what amounts to an impeachable offense. A lawyer lying to suit his client, imagine that!

I hope they at least go so far as to vote to allow witnesses into the hearings. How the hell would could there be hearings without them? I especially want to hear from Bolton, among others.

Biden or anyone else.  I just want to see him lose badly.  The way I see it is impeachment would've been goo 1 or 2 years in but not now.

A war with Iran and starting WW3 notwithstanding, is it really gonna make that much of a difference at this point to make a martyr out of the guy and possibly bring in a better Republican candidate for 2020?

Trump has acquired the notoriety of the first ever POTUS to be running for a second term after being impeached. I doubt the senate will turn on him so they'll have to depend on the voter come November to correct things. Hopefully young folks will get off their arses and go vote. That would likely send the boy on his way.

Just taking in a bit of the impeachment process ongoing. As hum drum as it is, I'm wondering what all this process, along with all the time that has been wasted, while Trump played golf etc., is costing the average American taxpayer who didn't vote the idiot in in the first place. I'm thinking it's a big number. Imagine what a second term would look like!

Thankfully the whole military stare-down has seemed to have stabilized for now.  We'll see how long that lasts.  I suspect Iran will lick its wounds for a bit and re-strategize.

I'm not a "Trump supporter".  The guy is a wingnut.  But he has shown a lot of restraint in the last year vs Iran, he did basically nothing until now, until an embassy was attacked and more attacks against Americans allegedly planned.  An embassy is US soil and any US soil needs to be defended from attack.  Trump has also shown to be the least willing POTUS to use US military force since Jimmy Carter.  Coincidentally, the Iranians have taken advantage of the leniency of both of these POTUS' to attack US embassies.
Restraint!? The **** idiot set the fire and now you praise him for restraint! Give your head a shake.

Biden is conservative garbage. If he gets the nomination, Trump will win again. Mark my words.

Don't predict anything.  At your most forward say "I think this may happen..."

I think Biden may win... don't Mark My Words...  :D

Looking at the situation currently and the dozen contenders remaining on the Dem. list, I would agree that Biden may well win. And if he doesn't then Trump will win again. Now than after all that political contemplation, I think I need a donut. Big one.

Why do you think Biden will win? He does not have much in the way of Democratic Party (currently lefty) credentials. Extremists win the primary. Moderates win the general election.
