Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee released the long-awaited transcript from senior National Security Council official Tim Morrison on Saturday, and immediately distorted it for the benefit of the anti-Trump media.
It was a typical example of how Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and his staff have tried to skew the fact-finding process in an effort to inflate public support for impeachment, believing few will read the lengthy transcripts for themselves.
First, the committee withheld the transcript since October 31, only releasing it after the first public hearings began last week. Morrison’s testimony was rumored to be very good for President Donald Trump’s defense — Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) had described Democrats in the room during the closed-door hearing as “sucking lemons” — and Republicans would have made good use of it, had they had the transcript available. But it was not provided.
In the interim, Democrats had sole possession of the document. Schiff does not allow copies of the transcripts to be released to Republicans, either in paper or electronic form. If they want to read transcripts, they must do so one by one, in the presence of a Democrat committee staffer. Not only is that rule humiliating, but it also allows Democrats to control the flow of information and to prepare their public arguments with no fear of timely Republican rebuttal.
In the Morrison case, Democrats released “key excerpts” that highlighted the few facts in his testimony that, they believe, help push the case for impeachment. Chief among these is that Morrison confirmed that he heard U.S. Ambassador to the E.U. Gordon Sondland claim that he told a Ukrainian official, in a private “sidebar” meeting, that aid would be released if the Ukrainian prosecutor general would publicly announce an investigation into Burisma.

Every conservative/Republican should watch it & then they should bring it to the attention of their respective Congressmen & Senators.
I could laugh until I choke and die over that. Yeah, I’ll call Kamala and Brad Sherman.

Actually, that would be a good thing to do. Maybe give them a scare that the truth is really OUT THERE, & the jig may be up.
You could at least have fun with it. :-)
So you trust the Senate Republicans?
So you trust the Senate Republicans?
The Dem’s 24/7 attacks on Trump are working and even the House/Senate Republicans are believing it
From the article:
“Chief among these is that Morrison confirmed that he heard U.S. Ambassador to the E.U. Gordon Sondland claim that he told a Ukrainian official, in a private “sidebar” meeting, that aid would be released if the Ukrainian prosecutor general would publicly announce an investigation into Burisma.”
He said he heard Sondland claim something, not that he heard an original conversation. And it’s about investigating Burisma not the Bidens. More hearsay evidence.They’ve got nothing.
Q: Is the that a crime in itself? It smacks of conspiracy.

There are a lot of crimes in this deceptive charade, starting with evidence tampering, obstruction of justice, fraud by omission, false statement, witness tampering and more. Obviously, there is a conspiracy charge that can be tagged on to each of the substantive crimes.
The ATTACK on the republic continues...unabated.
Enemies domestic.
I can only hope (as a hopeless optimist) that the Rats are being drawn into a many-sided trap while the Repubs are building a strong case and waiting for the exact right time to bring it on.
Sondland is the one who just changed his testimony.
Seems to be a great deal of "Why is this guy talking to Ukraine about US dealings in the first place? He's EU....
That's my gist of it.
We need to get it back.
Good thing we have the Senate or they'd railroad President Trump to resign just like they did Nixon.
Go to Morrison’s transcript. He said over and over that Sondland was out of line. And IIRC, also said that Sondland had no business talking to Ukrainian Officials about US business.

If the record is being altered, how will anyone get to the bottom of the mess?
none of this would continue without the full support of the FakeNewsMSM.
this is interference in the 2020 election and it needs to stop now.
The DOJ should eviscerate Comcast.
How? An overwhelmingly large number of black robes are in on the scam, IMHO.
Yes.
He won the election.
President Hillary was the annointed successor to The Magic Negro, Barack Hussein Soetoro Odinga Whatever 0bmam. She was divinely appointed to complete the fundamental transformation of America. How dare you, Trump? How dare you interfere with Hillary's (un)Holy Mission?
Heads on pikes.
