Schiffty starts off by lying that he DOESN’T know the name of the Whistleblower.
Good thing HE isn’t the one under oath.
Jim Jordan really is Schiffty’s worst nightmare.
Got him to sound like a lying buffoon by his knee jerk statement that he didn’t know the identity of the weaselblower.
Then WHO signed the effing COMPLAINT, you dumb turd? Why is Ciaramello’s name in a footnote in your summary.
I can’t WAIT to hear the MSM try to spin this.
How could you not have heard of Crowdstrike until just now and still maintain Russia interfered in the election?
It may be telling that this guy wants distance from Crowdstrike. Because this is a lie but one he’s quite comfortable telling
Taylor and Kent testifying to one thing and one thing only.
President of the United States of America Donald J Trump exercised his constitutional authority to dictate United States Foreign Policy without consulting the Deep State (of which Taylor and Kent are members) and they want him impeached for this unforgivable transgression.

“Since Schiff claims not to know the identity of the “whistleblower,” a committee member could just say “So chairman – if I just say a name at random, you would have no idea if that person was the “whistleblower” or not? No? Glad you agree, that is pretty much an inescapable conclusion based on what you said. So here is a name, Eric Ciaramella..”
that would be awesome
“Rep Turner (R – OH): I have a lot of respect for you Ambassador Taylor. You have a lot of responsibility, but don’t have direct contact with the important people and you basically have no authority.”

And McCabe walks…
The Justice Department suggested in a filing Wednesday that it had no immediate plans to prosecute former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, saying it would no longer try to keep documents related to Mr. McCabe from being publicly released because of an ongoing enforcement proceeding.
A federal judge had given the Justice Department a deadline of this week to disclose whether it planned to charge Mr. McCabe, who has been under investigation since last year for allegedly misleading internal investigators about a media disclosure.

The summary is for people who don’t have time for his full hour. He also gets a few minutes in on Tucker and Hannity occasionally. When he said he had to do his own newsletter he noted Drudge was anti-Trump and no longer conservative. (for years now) He got thousands of sign-ups for the newsletter yesterday. The show and the newsletter are free. “Impeachment hearings are a national disgrace”
@ eaglesoars:
I’d love to think the use of the phrase “immediate plans” means that the possibility exists (but I’m starting to think the delay in the release of the IG report is based on getting their statements ready for why people ARE NOT being referred for prosecution.
Of course, I wonder if those documents that can now be “publicly released” will show McCabe for the slimey POS he is…..
@ eaglesoars:
Is that McCabe announcement like a chess move? Sacrificing the prosecution to reduce obstruction and publish information? We would ALL like to see some actions of a serious nature.

Sandbagged. That’s what I expect again.
Others are also increasingly suspicious about why the IG report has been delayed for so long. Count Sen. Charles Grassley among them.
On Wednesday, Katie Pavlich at TownHall reported that Grassley says if the report doesn’t drop and soon, we can pretty much figure that it’s never going to drop because the ol’ fix was in, so to speak:
Former Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley has been asking for weeks: Where is the Department of Justice Inspector General report about FISA abuse and the origins of the Russia probe?
The final version was supposed to be made public in June. It’s now November. It’s been reported Inspector General Michael Horowitz is working to get the report out before Thanksgiving, but we aren’t holding our breathe.
The lengthy delay is raising questions among lawmakers about how the report may be edited and whether allies of James Comey at the FBI are involved.

An eruption from planet Bernie Sanders:
“Look, I’ve said this before, let me say it again and I don’t want you to hear this because your head will explode,” Sanders said during a joint interview with ABC News. “I don’t know of any person … who in the course of less than one year … has had more of an impact on American politics as a freshman member of Congress than she has.”
Ocasio–Cortez focuses on “real issues” such as “climate change” and “he usury rates that Wall Street are charging working people in this country,” Sanders said, and more important, she’s an “inspiration to working people all across this country and to young people in particular.”
Sanders said the future of this country depended on young people becoming more engaged in politics. “And there’s nobody I know that can do a better job inspiring young people than Alexandria,” he said.

From some of the items I’m seeing here and there. I’m wondering if one of the reasons Beastie deleted those 30,000 emails was because she was giving classified information to that dirtbag Sidney Blumenthal, who was giving her advice regarding handling State. Obama specifically refused to let her hire Blumie for State and I think she really needed this guy to work for her. He wasn’t authorized to receive classified info and there was no way he could have advised her without it.
@ eaglesoars:
Exactly. I just read this on a Facebook friends page:
“All I know for sure is that Trump is a proven lifetime pathological liar, petulant bully , conman, and in general a scumbag who is unfit to serve by any standard. I hope he is removed from office. How? I don’t really care.”
‘How ? I really don’t care’. I don’t know about anyone else but I read this as this person would be just as happy if he were removed in a violent way as impeached. I don’t think this thinking is rare among dems either. Just a hunch.
@ The Barbarian:
congrats!
Blumenthal is part of it, but not all. It’s not just the emails, it’s the server. She had SAP info on there. Special Access Programs/Projects. She did not have clearance for that level of intel and I have yet to see on theory about how it got there. The only way is for someone who DID have access to put it there. She left the server unsecured so that it could be accessed to get that info. Clinton Foundation flourished.

Company co-founded by Nancy Pelosi’s son charged with securities fraud
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charged a company cofounded by Paul Pelosi Jr. with fraud on Wednesday after learning that two convicted criminals were running the business.
Paul Pelosi Jr., the son of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.), was the president and chief operating officer of Natural Blue Resources Inc., an investment company he cofounded that focuses on “environmentally-friendly” ventures.
The SEC charged four individuals with fraud, including former New Mexico Gov. Toney Anaya, and suspended trading in the company’s stock. Pelosi owned over 10 million shares in the company in 2009.
The SEC said Wednesday the company was “secretly controlled” by James E. Cohen and Joseph Corazzi, both of whom had previous fraud convictions. Corazzi violated federal securities laws and was barred from acting as an officer or director of a public company. Cohen was previously incarcerated for financial fraud.

He gears himself to a much less sophisticated and wider audience than the likes of you! He wants to make sure people understand exactly what is going on.

Elect a Republican to those districts or we’ll just go through this the next four years. Even though Trump can’t run again, Pelosi and Company want to remove him from office.

@ RIX:
Looking forward to Jim Jordan (hopefully) asking about her perjury in the “secret chamber” and about her violations of the Geneva Convention as ambassador – there are allegations she interefered in Ukrainian politics gave them a list of persons/organizations they were not to investigate or prosecute. She also apparently repeatedly disparaged the President and said she didn’t like his foreign policy.
She’s an effing Obama holdover. She should have been fired the first day and replaced with an envoy that didn’t require Senate approval.
@ The Barbarian:
Which is, unfortunately, typical behavior among career State Department types. They’ve long believed that they, not the people elected or appointed over them, set policy, and that they can simply ignore orders they don’t agree with.
@ The Barbarian:
Exactly, shewasakin toan embed of the “Resistance”
Schiff pulled a real rhetorical diversion by asking her “Isn’t ittruethat ambassadors are confirmed by the Senate?”
His point seemed to be that it is improper for a president to remove an ambassador.
An ambassador is an “at will” employee serving at the pleasure of the president. He can fire her for any or no reason.
@ RIX:
She was not on the July 25th phone call.
She is NOT a witness to anything.
Also, I hope someone asks her who was President when the Senate confirmed her to her post. It wasn’t Trump.
Let me just run a scenario by all of you….
Schiffty knows about the tweet from Trump about Amb. Crybaby. Finds a way to get a message to her BEFORE testifying that he’s going to read the tweet aloud and then ask her how it makes her feel. Important that she immediately says she felt INTIMIDATED by it.
And “Why I Love Devin Nunes, No. 456″….
Right before Amb Crybaby is about to testify, Trump releases transcript of his FIRST call to Zelensky, after the election. Nunes reads the entirety of this transcript summary into the record BEFORE Amb. Crybaby can testify. Because one of her points is that the Bad Orange Man spoke disparagingly of her in that first call to Zelenksy.
Transcript makes no mention of her. Now testify, Bitch.
My gratitude to all of you stout hearted people who can actually listen to these reptiles. All I hear, except for Jim Jordan, is hisssssssssss.

Among the questions put to participants was whether “quid pro quo,” “extortion” or “bribery” was a more compelling description of Trump’s conduct. According to two people familiar with the results, which circulated among Democrats this week, the focus groups found “bribery” to be most damning. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity because the results have not been made public.
huh,

Hunter said he had never received any money or other financial benefit.
From Burisma, he received at least 1.316 million dollars.

/Note I didn’t say “ineffective”. Even with this obstruction, he’s doing some great stuff. Imagine where we could be if the dems were just politically obstructionist vs. the coup they are attempting.

We used to be friends with a couple. I met her at work, midwestern farm girl. She was married to a guy in the Foreign Svc. I won’t tell you his name, but if I tell you he got the first (and maybe only) piano into Afghanistan you might be able to find it. If anybody remembers Richard Seed, they were roomies at Hahvahd. And from Bahstun. Brilliant guy, and I wanted to punch him in the face every time I saw him. He should have had t-shirts printed “My shit doesn’t stink, yours reeks”.
Anyhoo, when Bush 43 decided WMD was a thing and invaded. it hit the fan. They were talking revolution, sedition, overthrow, you name it. We went to their parties and they had all these EU bureaucrats looking down their noses at these rube Americans who thought violence solved everything, including my friends Hubby, which is what really pissed him off. He didn’t give a crap what Bush did, it infuriated him that his sophisticated globalist friends were laughing at him for being an American.
I learned a lot from those people. Just not what they thought.
