I would agree, especially with these two witnesses, but the Dems have already voted. Their minds were made up prior to any of this.

Powerful soundbites generated by Republicans in this whole debacle will be more valuable than the failure of Dems to do the same. Hoping there’s something good in this round.

“John Solomon’s reporting has been the stuff journalist legends are made of. He will go down in history as the guy ... the ONE GUY ... in the entire media that told the truth.”

Well, he’s done two things. Solomon tried to get to the truth, did and then reported the truth.

He’s the Malcom Muggeridge of our time.

We all know Schiff is a lying POS. He obviously knows who the whistleblower is. I would love to see Nunes or Jordan simply ask Vindman, “Are you familiar with Eric Ciaramella?” He wouldn’t be “outing” the whistleblower because Schiff or Vindman don’t know who is is (ha ha) but it was be fun to see Schiff’s eyes bulge out of his head.

Dems need to impeach, Schiff's Hollywood/corporate donors (He is on the hook and is owned by those degenerates)/general campaign fund which links Pelosi as well, want Trump (MAGA/US exeptionalism) publicly destroyed.

They are going the bribery and obstructionist route as a strategy to expedite the process i.e. do not want to interfere in next year's campaign (Even id Trump is acquitted, they fulfilled what their donors wanted).

Puppets on strings, the lot of them.

That’s such a great idea! Schiff would schitt — and he couldn’t say a word.

I have wondered why they haven’t done that.. other than they would be kicked out and never allowed to return.

wiki:

On July 7, 2017, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson appointed Ambassador Kurt Volker as the US Special Representative for Ukraine Negotiations.[22][23] Volker accompanied Tillerson on his trip to Ukraine two days later.

On September 27, 2019, Volker resigned from this official, yet volunteer, position

...

In 2011, he joined BGR Group, a Washington-based lobbying firm and investment bank, where he currently serves as a managing director in the firm’s international group.[15]

~~~~~~~

BGR Group (Barbour, Griffith & Rogers) is a lobbying firm based in Washington DC that also has an office in London.[1] The firm was founded in 1991 by Ed Rogers and Haley Barbour.[2]

The firm employs various former political figures including Ambassador Kurt Volker, Jeffrey Birnbaum, and Gov. Haley Barbour.[3]

...

In 2013 the firm was paid $13.7 million for lobbying and its three largest clients were the Republic of India, Ukraine Chevron Corp. and the State of Kazakhstan.[5]
In 2014 Huffington Post reported that BGR Group was “at the center of [a] lobbyist network” supporting Republican Senator Thad Cochran, while he fought a tight primary election race against Tea Party candidate, Chris McDaniel.[6]
Since 2015, BGR has worked for American Ethane.[7][8][9]
In April 2015, the Government of South Korea retained BGR for public relations and image building.[10][11]
In 2016, BGR worked for Alfa-Bank.[12]
In 2016, BGR Group signed with Saud al-Qahtani to be paid USD $500,000.00, providing “public relations and media management services for The Center [for Studies and Media Affairs at The Saudi Royal Court], which includes both traditional and social media forums”.[13]
In 2018 BGR Group signed with Sami al Sadhan, the Deputy Ambassador of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the United States, to “provide public relations and media management services for The Embassy”, at monthly fee of USD $80,000.00.[14][15]

https://www.rt.com/news/469796-ukraine-ambassador-resigns-impeachement/

Volker’s appointment was unusual, as he continued to draw a salary from the McCain Institute, partly funded through donations from the lobbying firm Barbour Griffith Rogers, where he also served as “senior international advisor.” One of BGR’s clients was none other than former President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, who lost to Zelensky in a landslide earlier this year.

Agree.

Dems ploy

1. get a vote to impeach passed
2. blame a non removal on Republicans
3...start the we need to retain house and gain senate to correct this
4. promise with that we will right this injustice if he is re elected

The ultimate cake and eat it too strategy with no honor...

“Repubs/Trump wanted these two testifying.”

Yes and no. The Republicans have had no choice in what witnesses were selected and deposed for the closed hearings, and whether transcripts were released. When it came to the televised hearings, the Republicans did request that these two appear so they could cross examine them.

In other words, these are by no means Republican witnesses. They are Democrat witnesses that the Republicans insisted on cross examining.

If the Republicans could call their own witnesses, we would be hearing a whole different story.

It appears that Solomon source in the Ukraine may have had questionable motives. To me this adds another reason for Trump to send Rudy there and be skeptical of the whole government. If Loshenko was a bad apple, why was he still on the payroll? I am trying to keep a little bit of an open mind.

Depends on who is writing history! I really doubt historians, which the majority are liberals, will look kindly or truthful on any republican president! We will never see future history books written like the ones in the past that our generation were taught from in schools! Heck, today’s schools aren’t even teaching history anymore!
