BREAKING: Deputy Trump counsel Philbin just told the Senate the "whistleblower" may have had a "conflict of interest" in filing his complaint, because he may have been involved in decisions on Biden & Burisma & may have had a "reason to deep-six" a rekindled Ukraine investigation

Pictured is putative whistleblower CIA operative Eric Ciaramella, in glasses, in a 2015 photo taking notes
alongside Biden adviser Michael Carpenter & NSC's Liz Zentos in WH meeting w Ukrainian officials.
Carpenter later appeared in Biden's infamous video demanding "the Ukranian son of a bitch prosecutor" be fired.

“All scandal is opened up by Eric Ciaramella, he is KEY.”

I’ll bet he’s “The Accountant” in modern terms for the guy Elliott Ness grabbed. Ciaramella knows where the money goes and to whom. And how much.

.....now that Schifty shot-off Dems empty cannon, McConnell wants to get the Dem scum out of his chamber ASAP.......

Trump already issued the warning that "Schiff has yet to pay the price for impeachment."

That was BEFORE Bolton was outed on tape as a schnook.

At the trial, Schifty insisted they HAD to hear from Bolton "b/c everyday we get new evidence about Trump's abuses."

===========================

So I guess Schifty will be ready for his closeups when Trump starts (cough) leaning on him....cackle.

Somebody please inform Roberts that the right to confront one's accuser is recognized in both the Magna Carta and the US Constitution.

(1) This is not a criminal trial and therefore, the 6th Amendment is not a governing factor. (2) Under the Constitution, the Senate has the sole authority to set the rules for the impeachment trial -- not the Chief Justice. (3) Chief Justice Robert's constitutional role is to preside over the impeachment trial -- subject to the rules established by the Senate.

I think you are on to something there, chapter and verse.

I’m picturing the faces from up at #8.

Reminds me of the two hispanic boys in CA years ago who asked for the court’s mercy because they were orphans (oh, did I mention that they’d murdered their parents?).

Oh man, ya beat me to it; see my #48.

I wish I could throw a thousand of these off the senate gallery onto the senate floor today.

That would be great, but it didn’t work out too well for Sophie Scholl.
