Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire is set to testify Thursday morning before the House Intelligence Committee about a whistleblower's complaint that helped trigger a formal impeachment inquiry against President Trump.

The Hill will be providing updates as the hearing unfolds beginning at 9 a.m.

Halls are packed nearly two hours before hearing

7:30 a.m.

Press cameras lined the hallways more than two hours before the high stakes hearing was set to begin.

Members of the public also began forming lines hours beforehand in the hopes they could hear Maguire speak about his handling of the whistleblower complaint.

If the GOP doesn’t go into full on political and media war over this crap, they are done as a party

It certainly appears so and is typical of the Dems tactics over the years. Anything to protect their corruption and lawlessness.....we can name that tune in one note.

Just need to nudge our Millenials into a harder anti-establishment mindset, as progressives are now the establishment.

Based on the comments I’m seeing here, it sounds like the DNI and the GOPers are weak and tentative. I was going to go on break and watch the proceedings for a few minutes. Will I be wasting my time?

They’re already done....that’s why Trump was elected. The ‘Unity Party’ of Dems and Republicans just continues to fight for the power and wealth access they want back and all things to return to their agendas.

“Progressives are now the establishment.”

AMEN - This is the absolute TRUTH.

Trump stands between US and Oblivion under Progressive Tyranny.

The longer they yammer and jabber before getting around to asking a question is just a delay tactic because they know this is all hooey.

We’ve had issues with her before, correct?

How did she get access to the phone call?

Wonder if someone leaked the Horowitz report they saw it and thought they could force Trump out to stop it. These people have always been extremists, liars and hateful but now they’re are irrational and beyond out of control. It like they’re on the titanic minutes before it sinks and know they’re doomed.

The GOP needs to drive the narrative that this was nothing more than office gossip by political activists.

Watch Fox at night... we're fighting back.

The reason it doesn't seem that way is because Democrats owns the slugs in the press. And the press interprets reality for the American culture - along with Hollywood, Madison Avenue, the Music industry ect - - ALL liberal groups...

To me, it's amazing we elected Trump and that we keep electing Republicans... in spite of the unending drumbeat about democrat superiority and power... Something YOU are feeding into...

I know you're aware of that, right?

Yeah, I think that’s true. Trump actually cares for the middle class while the GOP (and of course the DEMS) have been catering to globalists for decades.

One of the few GOP with actual power, Senator Graham, pathetically punted on Fox yesterday.

Hmmmm, I didn't see it that way. Number one....he pushed over and over that the Dems are doing NOTHING but circus acts, and he isn't going to help them....by bringing it to the Senate.

I think that's politically smart. Right now, the House Dems look like they have lost their minds because they can't make their crap stick. I think giving them a second line of attack, through the Senate, might give credence to their propagandist claims.

Second, I think he, like Trump, is playing poker, not hopscotch, like the Socialists. Bluff through til you see their hand, and then beat it.

While Graham hasn't been my favorite actor, in Washington, he's recently grown a backbone. I don't know if it's because he finally has a President ready to rumble and that's sparked him up......or if it's an understanding that the Republican base has changed..... and he had better step up his game or he's out of a job.

Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.
