America quit voting Republican!!!

Trump and this Senate are prime examples of the typical political perversion in the open (they often hide). What good have they ever produced? NOT one great program for the average American has been put forth by the R's ever. NOT ONE! But crimes a plenty in the name of retaining power and keeping the billionaires happy.

Nixon's-Watergate
Reagan-Iran-Contra, Savings & Loan Scandal, Death Squads
Bush II-Illegal and fraudulent Iraq War, Torture, Plame Affair...these are not conspiracy things these are legally determined and often punished and unpunished crimes.

They know that Schiff is weakened by his being an honorable person and an adherent to the rules of the House. (Yeah, I meant a little irony there.) So they call for him to violate those rules -- knowing that he won't -- because it gives them an opportunity to imply that the nasty Dems are hiding something.

which may be her exact wording but taken out of context, and then limnbaugh and a few hundred other blowhards and fox will repeat the same crap. or they'll just make shit up as if reading what she said. for the dittohead base that the russians have been using for years to pussh the republican party around that's all they want or need and i wish the dems and media would do the polling that would show the 5% hardcore screaming base are 90% dittoheads

she did receive a Congressional subpoena this morning in anticipation of that mid-night phone call. TrumpCo. has become so ridiculously transparent that they had a subpoena ready to go. To her credit she's enough of a patriot to not be controlled by Trump's lawless mal-administration. Good for her!

Fat Donnie's minions might try to order her not to cooperate voluntarily, but they can't block her from being subpoenaed.

Every time the WH blocks an employee from talking with the committee is just another article of impeachment.

I'll always remember Ambassador Yovanovitch walking confidently to the Capitol to testify, rather than being snuck into the back via black vehicle.

And she gave them a glaring reminder that their duty is to the U.S. Government and American People, not Dear Leaders.

Russia is a shit hole country with a pension for mischief to try an even up their inferiority. Problem is he may be biting off more than he can chew. The future is not going to be kind to Russia or Putin. He sits on a powder keg with his people depressed, suppressed and know he is stealing their future. Day of reckoning, like Trump's, may be unpleasant.
