Q: Is the that a crime in itself? It smacks of conspiracy.
If the Democrats actually have the guts to go through with impeachment, the Republicans in the Senate must immediately move for an acquittal based upon a biased investigation. This particular incident described here will be one of the many different counts of bias. There are multiple cases of them refusing to allow the Republicans to have access to evidence, or to ask questions of witnesses, or to even call their own witnesses who might possibly rebut what the investigation is clearly intended to conclude. In addition, Schiff’s refusal to allow Jim Jordan to speak when he made a point of order is a gross violation of the rules of the House, and if this was a trial or even a grand jury anywhere else, that one incident would result in a mistrial.
I have pointed out in another thread that Saturday’s Morrison testimony has been released and is helpful to the President. His characterization of Vindman is less than flattering and he calls out that he is a leaker. He also is less than complimentary about Sondland making him appear as a self aggrandizing fool.

Well, they all know Donald Trump did “something wrong”, actual charges to be determined at a future time, so this is the only way to treat him.
If this sort of treatment was ministered to a suspect while in custody at a county jail, the sheriff and any of the deputies involved would be subject to trial and face serious fines or even some prison time.
But this, this is just blood sport.
Putting together evidence for a Trial is not the Dems Forte
Schiff needs to be hung. Maybe Ed Buck can work something out.
Should be interesting. Appears from this article that Morrison is a witness FOR the President.
Or am I reading something wrong.
Shifty Schiff caught lying again.
This is worse than the star chambers.
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.
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.

If the record is being altered, how will anyone get to the bottom of the mess?
The DOJ should eviscerate Comcast.
Why not have a republican staffer at the meeting make their own transcripts?
