"This is about _us_."

------------------------

Yes, it most certainly IS about us:

[vpintheak]

What more pathetic? That idiots say this crap; that idiots report this as truth; that idiots believe this?

[M Kehoe]

Hi.

Don’t disagree with Swalwell, or given the chance he will nuke you.

Pray tell, what “confession” would that be?

[Magnum44]

That would be the perfect call confession.

[Osage Orange]

Good luck voting in Primary’s..

[Robert A Cook PE]

Yes.

And THAT Crowdstrike investigation request is (deliberately) being completed ignored by today’s national press corpse in ABCNNBCBS.

Based on this, I don't think Mulvaney is good at conducting press conferences. I am still trying to understand exactlywhat he was trying to say. I can't find video of Mulvaney press conference, here it is on cbs

[griswold3]

Bears repeating, (if you don’t mind)

“What’s alarming these Democrats is that the “investigation” in question isn’t the Biden & Biden affair ... it’s the role of Ukrainian figures in the 2016 election.
As soon as I saw the narrative of President Trump’s July 2019 phone call with the Ukrainian president, the biggest that jumped out at me wasn’t the Biden angle, but the reference to Crowdstrike in President Trump’s request for help.”

BTW, where are our town criers?

That’s THE TRUTH!!

A Shiv is being put in the back of the Republic.

[cymbeline]

“Mick Mulvaney’s remarks that aid to Ukraine was in fact tied to President Trump’s wish for an investigation into the 2016 election”

Exactly. Since when is aid given with no conditions attached?

The question that must be addressed is what was to be investigated and was there sufficient evidence to warrant an investigation.

That’s where Trump goes on the offensive.

[plain talk]

By the time the dems get through with their case there will shaky wobbly knees in the Republican controlled Senate. Imagine having to depend on those Senate bozos for your job.

Of course this whole thing is ridiculous beyond belief ... but never underestimate the power of misperception. In an courtroom there is no common sense and everything is put under the microscope and they make a big deal out of ever word, tweet and action ... out of context.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Somebody tell Swallowswell not to talk with his mouth full. He might bite off more than he can chew.

[enumerated]

Right, this is President Trump stirring the pot in order to get a vote.

[trebb]

Yeah - a #NeverTrumper says that even thought the money was withheld before the phone call and the Ukraine never knew the money was withheld even after the call ended, the money was held over the Ukraine’s head.....and Schiff jumps all over it by calling it a confession to forward his seditious attack on our Nation.
