When is Brett Kavanaugh’s public hearing about the horrors of having his reputation smeared?

Not a single one of these facts have changed today:

- Both call transcripts show zero link between aid and political investigations
- Aid was released WITHOUT any new investigations
- Ukraine didn’t know aid was withheld during 7/25 call
- Trump/Zelensky both say: zero pressure

[sneakypete]

Why is Democrat Congresswoman Speier being allowed to question the witness when Republican Congresswoman Stefanik was denied that same opportunity?

@Hoodat

Because she is a Dim,and Schiff has already been briefed on what she will say and ask.

This is nothing more than a kangaroo court.

CSPAN caller just now "I'd ask Ambassador Yovanovitch if she knew Epstein didn't kill himself"

Good to see that at least one member is staying focused.

Bravo from @RepChrisStewart
, who just summarized this whole hearing:

Q: "Do you have any information regarding POTUS accepting bribes?"

Yovanovitch: "No"

Q: Do you have any evidence of any criminal activity from POTUS?"

Yovanovitch: "No"

That, there, should be the ballgame

Stefanik is back – she uses five minutes slot to read into the record past comments by #AdamSchiff stating that #whistleblower will testify. Most Democrats say this is now a moot point because investigation has moved on, with more important witnesses coming forward #impeachment

Schiff: "The gentleman's not recognized."

Jordan: "I have a point of order though."

Schiff: "The gentleman's not recognized."

Schiff: "What would you say to people who say, 'Isn't it kind of your fault...that you didn't fight your own smear harder?'"

Yovanovitch: "I did everything that I could to address these issues and ask the State Dept. to do what I felt was the right thing, which was support me."

This may be the single most ridiculous claim of the Dem show trial. No, the President’s tweeting is not “witness intimidation.” You may not like the tone of some or even many of his tweets, but it’s absurd to suggest that tweeting is an impeachable “high Crime [or] Misdemeanor.”

This whole impeachment is absolutely shameful and ridiculous.  Nobody is looking across the aisle where the real corruption lies.

Democrats are now making a roundabout issue of the President's right to recall his own ambassadors.

My goodness.

Well, it's been great I have this really cool job at Georgetown University and I only have 14 students so the work load is easy. My pay is awesome and I get to stay at home with my family. What more could a woman ask for? Did I mention that all my colleagues at State love me.

They continue to be thoroughly pissed that they have not been allowed to re-write the Constitution.

Basic questions for Yovanovitch have still gone unasked by Republicans, e.g.:

1. When did Obama appoint you ambassador?

2. Are you a Democrat? Did you support Hillary for prez?

3. Did you vote for Trump? Did you agree w his policies? Why'd u choose to stay over for his admin?

Sounds like it's straight out of the Animal House Trial:


Greg Marmalard : [at the trial of Delta House V. Omega House]  Robert Hoover will speak on behalf of Delta House.

Hoover : [the Deltas cheer as he stands up]  I don't think you can fully judge a fraternity without looking at the positive qualities of the people in it. The Delta House has a long standing tradition of existence to its' members and to the community at large.

Dean Vernon Wormer : [to Marmalard]  I think we've heard enough.

Hoover : I was told I would have a chance to speak?

Greg Marmalard : We've heard enough.

Hoover : But I was told I would have a chance to speak!

Doug Neidermeyer : HE SAID THAT'S IT! ARE YOU DEAF?

Dean Vernon Wormer : [to Marmalard]  Let's finish this damn thing.

Bluto : BLOW J__!

[the other Deltas start chanting "Blow J__!"]

Hoover : I don't think it's fair!

Dean Vernon Wormer : [angry]  I'll tell you what's fair!

It’s broader than that. The democrats can’t afford to have republican women appearing smart, tough and supporting Trump.  After all democrats own the female vote—or so they would have us believe.

We mustn’t have gender traitors to the cause, now can we?

@aligncare

Well,if that was the plan,Congresswoman Stefanik blew that one out of the water on the 1st day.

[XenaLee]

I'm getting a little nauseous at the constant and ongoing butt-kissing by the Democrats of Yovanovitch's rear end during this "Inquiry".

IMO, this can't be repeated enough.

I'm praying the American people open their eyes and see the danger the admn. state is to our Republic.

Pres Trump also calling it "unbelievably dishonest" that statement by Ukraine Foreign Minister disputing quid pro quo allegations, not being adequately reported. Says he thought the FM's statement would mean the end of the impeachment inquiry.

Jim Jordan just got Yovanovitch, who's clearly a left-wing partisan, to admit she didn't do a single thing to prevent Ukrainian officials from meddling in our election in 2016. Her demeanor made it clear she did nothing because she supported foreign efforts to damage Trump.
