Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee have created a website on which they have released full transcripts of the testimony of Ambassadors Yovanovitch, McKinley, Volker, Sondland, Taylor; Lt. Col Vindland; Deputy Assistant Secretaries Kent and Cooper; NSC Senior Director for Europe and Russia Dr. Hill; and advisors to Ambassador Volker Catherine Croft and Christopher Anderson.
The website is ... pretty flashy for a government page that's supposed to be informative? Lots of highlighting and the whole thing is called "Defend our Democracy" so y'know BARF ALERT... BUT... they do put (somewhat) redacted transcripts of the testimony online so we can take a look at what was actually said in these meetings.
The one that blows their whole narrative out of the water is Tim Morrison’s. He is national security adviser to Trump on Russian and Ukraine and was on the call. He testified that everything the President said and did was correct and necessary as part of our obligation to the anti-corruption treaty with Ukraine. Trump could not legally give aid to Ukraine if we did not have reassurances that they were cleaning up their previous corruption.
He was on the Republican witness list but “somehow” didn’t make the cut. Actually, none of them made the cut.
This thing is definitely going the distance because the repubs are not going to lift a finger to help Trump. Senator burr said the trial in the senate could last 6 or 8 weeks, meaning he is going to take this corrupt one sided impeachment seriously. linda graham was just on Hannity and made it clear he has no intention of calling anyone in to testify in front of his committee, he just completely passed the buck to other committees.
Infuriating. Time to burn down it down and start a MAGA Party.
BS, BS, and more BS. Lets go to trial in the senate and put them under oath and in public where the republicans can question these assholes.
No. Let’s put them under oath right now. The only thing stopping the GOP Senate from gathering their own facts on the coup right now is their hatred of Donald J. Trump and those who dared vote for him.
Any Republican that sits on their hands is a traitor.
More precisely they are co-conspirators in this ongoing coup. You can bet the GOP Senate noticed the rush to support Sleepy Sessions for Senate and now know they have little to fear from the GOP base.
Their transcripts are certainly more redacted and controlled them any project veritas video that they always bitch about is being “edited”
The senate will take their turn if it every gets there and I doubt it will.
The senate trial will be held under the current Senate’s rules and those rules can be changed at any time.
First the Senate will never, ever vote Trump our of office. Period. If you say differently you are telling lies to yourself.
So, Trump has absolutely nothing to lose and the democrats have everything to lose.
The republicans will be able to subpoena anyone they want, place them under oath, and ask them any questions they want even if it does not pertain to the case.
Do you really think the democrats are going to allow that to happen when they have yet to find a crime? They are liars trying hard to believe their own lies.
Name the exact law that has been broken in any of the BS lies of the left.
I am more than ready for this to progress to the senate. Trumps lawyers have been putting their witness list together for many months and researching all of the questions they intend to ask. They will not ask a single question they do not already know the answer to and when the liars lie under oath they are going down.
Let’s get on with this.
With the Barr criminal investigations findings now before a federal grand jury this will turn out to be loads of fun for the right. Remember the Barr criminal investigation is there to find out about the FISA illegal warrants used to spy on Trumps campaign and there were zero republicans involved in that so whom every the grand jury will indict will be democrats.
Hil LIAR y was tied to the Steele dossier used in those illegal warrants so she is even out there and probably on the list of witnesses.
You folks are totally screwed. You took your shots at Trump and did not take him down. Now it is Trump’s turn to bat and he will be swinging for your heads. I hope he hits a home run with every swing.

I don't care about democracy, we're a republic.
Wishful thinking. President Trump will certainly be impeached by the House Dems around Christmas because the GOP Senate has done nothign to impeach the coupist Deep State hoaxblowers.
The Senate can gather all the facts they want right now. During Watergate both the House and Senate had hearings at the same time. There is literally no reason for the GOP controlled Senate to wait to gather facts regarding the ongoing Deep State coup unless the GOP Senate wants Trump wounded and impeached. Sorry.
Before obamcare was approved in congress, my representative recorded a phone message "House Democrats unveiled a government-run health care plan." Dems on the house "Franking Committee" refused to allow the phone message unless he changed it to "The House majority unveiled a public option health care plan."
It seems to me that Schiff's political document bearing the logo of the intel committee would violate some house rule. However, I have not found a way to navigate from the intel committee main page to this doc.
I can’t figure out how to navigate from the main intel committee page to the “Defend our Democracy” page, although I can go in the reverse direction.
“sorry”
That is an arrogant assumption that you are right. I don’t by into you as an expert.
Sorry
Snore. Won’t read. Don’t care
The methodology of these testimonies make their transcripts less than soiled goods.
Should be as fascinating as The Vagina Monologues.
Agree. It’s a big reason why I think impeachment never gets out of the House.
Repubs (from which committee i do not know)already released the full transcripts.
Do you have a link? I’d love to compare, but I can’t find any news sites or republican sites which say they have.
How do you know what has been posted is accurate and not another Schift fictional story?
Absolutely right.
