Did anyone see Nicole Wallace today? Best hour of news in a long time.

Broke 3 stories, 2 while on the air. Great guests. Breathtaking. I kept rewinding to watch parts again.

And she didn't even have Barr's antics.

I can't help but think about a Frum post from last week. Trump isn't looking for Ukraine to investigate, he's looking at them to manufacture fake evidence (paraphrase). Now Barr is trying to get Australia, Italy and who knows who else to manufacture dirt on Biden and the whole Russian investigation.

This is out of control. When do the Republicans flinch?

It's very good. Seriously, about every 10 minutes she says, "There's breaking news," and have to tell about some other WaPo or WSJ scoop.

At the end, she said they hadn't gotten to anything they had planned for the hour because so much was happening.
Rick Wilson is about the only funny conservative.

when they put the phone conversation out. I assume the WH thought they needed to get it out and get in front of it but they actually had no strategy. Probably the NY Times of Washington Post had the story and had been checking with the WH for a day or two for a comment and the deadline was soon. The WH and Barr realized they got the story from US intelligence and thus could not stop it.

jftr - I assume that Barr and Pompeo have been running all over the world to get intelligence services from other countries to investigate our intelligence services and the FBI and that was just not working out because foreign services were keeping our domestic spooks informed.

10. I heard Moscow Mitch told Trump "if your convo was so "perfect" just release the transcript

and get ahead of this story."

Trump thought the notes of the call exonerated him because he did not say "you won't get your money until you manufacture dirt on Biden". Because. He's dumb.

for interrupting his presser last week. She cut in and said, "He's lying".
