Not that I have any use for her but you don’t hear Caroline Kennedy moaning about being out of her job as Japan’s ambassador.

I am a realist. You give far too much credit to Schiff and the dems for having any honesty or integrity, they were just waiting for something like this to contort and lie about.

Now on top of an already challenging battle, the Republicans on the committee are going to have to deal with this too. Just because you can shoot yourself in the foot doesn’t mean it is smart to do so.

We will see how this changes the narrative... Like I say, nothing wrong with the tweet, just very ill timed and anyone with any common sense at all would see that.

[LoveMyFreedom]

Agree 100%.

I thought this was a short, brief break. Seems like it has been over an hour.

This is an insanely l-o-n-g break. I didn't expect this. I'm going have to stop watching around 2pm ET and get back to my life. The Republicans haven't even had a chance to speak yet... this is all by democRAT design. GRR!

[smvoice]

(slap, slap, shake shake) “COME ON, MADAME SPEAKER, WAKE UP!! We have to pray for Yova! She’s near tears!!! Wake UP, DAMN YOU”
“COULD SOMEONE GET SOME COFFEE IN HERE?? SHE’S GOTTA SOBER UP SO WE CAN PRAY!!!”

[a little elbow grease]

I think he had absolutely every right to tweet that, and should. But AFTER it was over and the Republicans had a chance to drill her with their own questioning. Now he may have messed up their game plan and chances to prevail with the tweet that did indeed change the game, even with the media. It was very ill timed is all.

______________

We'll see just how "ill timed" it is after we see how and if guys like Jordan and others deal with it this afternoon.

I think all the pearl clutching over him tweeting about it is silly.

Yoko's testimony is so devastating that all FOX can talk about is ...

Roger Stone.

[maggief]

The Ballsy-Ford game plan.

[pnz1]

It all kicked off with pics of “Pissi Myles” attending, so there we go..

[Textide]

Yes, it has been quite awhile. Looks like a few Congresscritters are trickling back in now.

[a little elbow grease]

YES

[Openurmind]

We will see...

This is precious coming from the Dems & media -- the Republicans cannot even get most of their witnesses approved to testify by Adam Schiff, meaning the entire process is fixed.

[big'ol_freeper]

The Democrats are a sad bunch.

[goldstategop]

What do you really expect from a Star Chamber? A process designed to lead to justice?

In reality, its a high tech lynching!

[pnut22]

Nunes should play the famous Biden QPQ tape for Yoko.

[Maris Crane]

You mean:

UP UNTIL THE TIME THE REPUBLICANS GET TO QUESTION THE WITNESS.

They sure don’t want a repeat of yesterday.

Ari Fleischer: As for Trump’s tweet, to call it witness intimidation is laughable. People can say whatever they want about Trump and he can’t say what he thinks? The witness has every right to speak her mind and he can speak his. If witnesses are so intimidated, why do they keep showing up?

Amen, Ari. Thank goodness someone has common sense.

Thanks so much for posting that, jonny!

I like Ari Fleischer... from what I've seen of him on FNC over the past couple of years, he does appear to be a Trump fan for the most part.

[Sacajaweau]

Hate to make a note....But the Sonland lunch call to the President...Say it was noon (12:00) in Ukraine....the time diff is 5 (five) hours....so he called the President at 7:00 AM EST. Yeh...right...

Hope I'm right here....since the President said he didn't remember the call.

This isn’t a TRIAL. It’s an inquiry. There can’t be any witness tampering unless it’s a legitimate trial.....
