Faced with a barrage of damaging headlines for President Donald Trump stemming from impeachment inquiry testimony, congressional Republicans are beginning to coalesce around a strategy aimed at discrediting key witnesses and taking a more confrontational stance against the Democratic-led impeachment process.
Republicans on Thursday ramped up their skepticism of the testimony delivered by US diplomat Bill Taylor — which undercut White House claims Ukraine aid wasn't tied to an investigation that could help him politically — and the Senate's No. 2 Republican Sen. John Thune walked back earlier concerns he expressed about Taylor's opening statement.
Republicans in the Senate have also shown little interest in investigating the frozen Ukraine aid, with two committee chairmen signaling that's not a priority right now.
Congressional Republican lawmakers and aides say they are taking the reins to defend the President in the impeachment inquiry amid mounting fears that the White House is not consistent nor organized enough to lead the President's defense. But their efforts come as the President publicly and privately is pushing congressional Republicans to toughen up their defense of him as the Democratic impeachment process marches forward.

What damaging testimony . it’s all Secret
Fake ‘damaging’. Whining cry babies and quadruple heresay. That’s their ‘case’.

Taylor heard this 4th hand. Rats got him to just say anything to hurt Trump.
“damaging headlines” which is what schitt for brains is after.
What is the charge? This is a lynching just like Trump said.
FUCNN!
CNN: “ IF we couldn’t lie, we couldn’t publish!”
LOL!
So much lying here.
Why post crud from CNN. All trash.
CNN. All garbage all the time. Isn’t perpetrating a fraud via telecom lines a Federal crime?
We are posting CNN articles, because we need to be aware of what they are saying, because many people still get their news from the MSM, including CNN.
I may be alone on this position, but I think they ALL need to STFU and get on with The Peoples’ Business!
Good Lord! Do your friggin’ JOBS!
I cannot WAIT to see these jacks kicked to the curb and I cannot WAIT for a 2020 Landslide.
If the Pubbies screw it up for PDJT, I’m gonna flat-out EXPLODE! (And it won’t be pretty!)
This is an absurd hit piece that doubles as propaganda for the democrat clown show. Meat for the useful idiots. The authors come across as left wing deep state plants. True believers. Embarrassing in its idiocy.
In the real world these immature spoiled brats would have been canned.
4 authors + CNN = the ultimate in pure bull$hit
I’ve FIRED better people than our current crop of Dem Congress-Critters! They make me ill.
It took four people to write this dumbass article? It’s like how many Polaks does it take to screw in a light bulb. No offense to Polish folks.
Taylor is the a$$hole that Schiff met with in Ukraine shortly before this latest hoax started? Taylor is the treasonous SOB who had no direct knowledge of anything and knew only hearsay and who had everything he said contradicted by Sondland? Smells like one of Schiff’s fake whistleblowers to me.
