Thank you, Dems and Adam Schiff

Thanks for your patience and fortitude in approaching these impeachment hearings with the seriousness they needed and deserved.

I am so proud of them and a bit chagrined when I think of the years I've been here and the many times they were accused of being spineless. That it obviously not the case any more. I salute you!

He controlled that meeting and really wouldn't allow some of the horrible rancorous attitude from the Repukes

WILLING to testify as to what they know.....additional witnesses will continue to add information - Cooper..

Cooper said that, by July, she and others at the Pentagon and State Department questioned the legality of withholding the assistance, which had been voted through by Congress and which she and her colleagues considered essential

.

Been reading Kyiv Post....

https://www.kyivpost.com/world/state-department-pentagon-experts-believed-withholding-ukraine-aid-was-illegal.html

Interesting read...both Washington and Ukraine did not want to embolden Russia..

Both Washington and Kyiv did not want the withholding of funds to be made public while there was a chance that the money would be restored. A withdrawal of aid would potentially strengthen or embolden Russia, Cooper said.
“We did not want for this to be a big public discussion… because we didn’t want to signal any lack of support…,” she said

The hypocrisy of the GOP was on full display -- wanting to out the whistleblower (to quash current and future whistleblowers) while supporting the full-blown obstruction and secrecy of Trump, Barr, Pompeo, Pence.

They stayed quietly on point and got the job done, in spite of the theatrics (and silly posters ) from the other side of the aisle. I am so impressed by both Kent and Taylor, and grateful to them for being true patriots.

I am exhausted. After going through the stress of these hearings today, I can only imagine how wrung out all of the participants are. Good job and thank you to all of them.

We have so many admirable Democrats, and I am so glad I'm on the right side of history. Hillary Clinton is our rightful President and I will believe that until the day I die. I think we only know the half of what illegal, mobsterlike shenanigans the GOP pulled to let that miserable bag of skin steal the election.

The Democrats, especially Adam Schiff are the adults and the sane ones in our Capitol.
