It certainly begs the question; Rudy claims in asking for the meeting with Zelinsky, that the request was with the consent and knowledge of POTUS. Plus there is a tangled web if Nunes was meeting with this guy as claimed. Nunes is trying to deflect and pull back, which is not a good look for him.

So was Trump lying when he said he didn't know what Rudy was doing in Ukraine or was Rudy lying about it then?
i’m am very sad to see how far Rudy has fallen. in the wake of 09/11, we were all in awe of the way he dealt with it all. he’s been reduced to a caricature of what he was.

And the sadder part, is that Trump had to know Rudy was involved with these guys, and he still chose to keep him as his personal attorney.

Bryan, I'll ask you because you're very rational...how many times do you listen to the same exact people say "we've got him THIS time", before you just stop listening?

If Moscow Mitch ever allowed witnesses and documents, you might get real close to sealing the deal. Personally, I'd be ok if the senate doesn't remove him from office, provided they look at all the facts, bring in all the witnesses that have first hand knowledge and get all the applicable documents on the record; at least then it's an outcome the public can deal with at the polls.

The house is charged with making the case.

But I'm fine with the democrats calling Bolton, and the Republicans calling Hunter Biden. Let's investigate, I have no issue with that.

And now we see that the ranking Republican member of the House Intel committee looks to have been a co-conspirator in what they were investigating.

Any issue with that Jim?

The same people? I scan three different news sites most mornings. One is WSJ, so I try to not pigeon hole into one side. But don't confuse 'they didn't get him' with 'Trump did nothing wrong'.....

On this, I listened to this straight from Parnas' mouth.

As I said, it all needs to be verified/corroborated but based on Trump's history of lying about relationships (he can downplay that he was with him all the time, but it sure looks like he knows him) and Rudy's sketchy activities in Ukraine and elsewhere none of it is farfetched.

If nothing was below board, a lot of this should be easily cleared up with all of the folks with key info (Bolton, OMB personnel etc) are allowed to testify.

As Spence reiterated what I said earlier, it is pretty concerning if Parnas really was meeting with Nunes, given his role on impeachment. The timing of this meetings, if they occurred, is now very interesting.... That should be easily verifiable with phone records.

Nunes is trying to spin this, but if you are in his position on the impeachment team, I would have to ask how many random people, which Nunes is basically saying Parnas was, would be calling on his private cell.

i see that Nancy is so sorry and solemn, that she had commemorative pens made just for the occasion of signing the articles, engraved with her name, handed out to friends. Poor thing is so sad about all this.

Meanwhile, you were bending over Trump’s ass and declaring it smelled like honeysuckle and rainbows.

Id put thoughts up against those of any of the snowflakes here, any day of the week. You react like Pavlovian dogs every time someone says anything negative about him.

Pete, your desperation is showing. Loud and clear. if you actually believes what you claim to believe, you’d just say so.

The fact that you claim everyone who doesn’t hate him as rabidly as you do is a trumplican, shows how irrational and scared to death you are.

He is a vile, dangerous and despicable man, but I react due to his policies on the environment, his mishandling of foreign affairs, his isolationist views on how America should move forward, my reactions wouldn’t be different if someone else was in there governing the same, so no Jim it’s not about hate. Hate and fear is what his party is about, my father would be appalled on seeing what his Republican Party had evolved into.

Do you think your father would be proud to see you still polishing Obama’s ball bag?

If a congressman can wear sneakers to an impeachment. Trump should wear golf shoes to the state of the union

He has played more golf than any other President.

After saying he wouldn't have time.

golfing, like the debt, is an issue on which everyone flip flops depending on the party of the sitting president. I assume he can do his job anywhere. the only time i cared when obama did it, if i remember correctly, was golfing on the day that an american citizen was murdered by terrorists, optics weren’t great.
