Soundland still continues to come across with ‘I don’t know’....’I can’t recall’.....he’s selectively forgetting anything which would put his butt on the line.

Something is going on between the Russian- Ukraine and Vidman Dad. I just can sense it.

Vidman is dirty. Bank on it.

——-

What people do not understand, as it hasn’t been stated much, is that Vindman was born in 1975 in........wait for it.......the Soviet Union! Yes, Ukraine was part of the USSR.

He’s dirty alright.

It wasn’t mentioned in the opening because it would ruin Schiff’s media time during the break.

If Schiff says that President Trump's tweet that Schiff read during the testimony is witness intimidation, then why isn't Schiff's running to the press during a potty break to claim that the testimony that is still in progress is conclusive proof of a crime also witness tampering?

Why did Sondland leave out of his opening statement that POTUS wanted nothing from Ukraine?

*shrug*

Bingo. This guy has an agenda and it’s not pro Trump. That phone call with Trump has been the most critical item today. Trump specifically said he wanted nothing from Ukraine. Yet, it wasn’t mentioned in the opening.

Gee whiz, he didn’t think it was very important. Not like it’s the whole focus of this circus.

Just maybe, Trump wants it this way.

One way or another, Trump is going to need an opportunity to get in front of the People and make his case. These inquiries are not going to work for him, they are doing damage.

So, perhaps the only way for Trump to clear his name is to have the Impeachment trial in the Senate. In a way that there’s no way the Press can spin it as they are now.

Agree. But it doesn’t fit the pre agreed narrative set up with the MSM.....

They want viewership/clicks. Schiff wants air cover for his hoax so they will never do that...

"The later"?

Can you be a bit more cryptic?

If you have something to say...just say it!

Giuliani says he never met Sondland, that singing witness ‘speculating’ on quid pro quo

Rudy Giuliani is firing back at Sondland’s testimony, tweeting: “I came into this at Volker’s request. Sondland is speculating based on VERY little contact. I never met him and had very few calls with him, mostly with Volker. Volker testified I answered their question sand described them as my opinions, NOT demands. I.E., no quid pro quo!”

“AG Bar could stop this dead in his tracks. What is he waiting for?”

Think of it like a high stakes poker game, and you have an unbeatable hand. What do you do?

You keep a poker face and behave in a manner that does not signal to the other players what you have in your hand. You make only small bets and raises in order to try and build the pot up. You react to other players in such a way as to encourage them to believe they have the winning hand.

I believe President Trump is entirely innocent of any wrongdoing that could possibly rise to anything close to justifying his removal. In addition I believe the President knows all of the details of what crimes the Democrats and other other deep state coconspirators committed leading up to and following the 2016 election. That means he has the truth on his side and his adversaries do not - in other words he has a very strong poker hand.

For three years, I believe President Trump has been playing a poker game, knowing he has a Royal straight flush, but trying to hide that fact in order to build the pot up. That means allowing the other players to believe his hand is weaker than it is. That means submitting to the Mueller investigation. That means submitting to these House impeachment hearings. That means letting his enemies believe they have him on the ropes.

If President Trump had ordered his AG and DOJ to “stop this dead in his tracks” in 2017, it would have been the equivalent of calling the bets and throwing his royal straight flush down - he would have won that hand but with very little in the pot. His adversaries would still have their money tucked safely in their wallets.

Three years later, the pot is huge. The coup perpetrators have continued to engage in coverups, have continued to spy and otherwise weaponize intel resources, have continued to suborn perjury, have continued to illegally leak classified information to the press, have continued to conspire to remove a duly elected POTUS. ALL of which is illegal.

Back to the poker analogy, the President’s adversaries have put everything they own into the pot and now they are reaching out to borrow from nefarious sources in order to double down.

Trump won’t play his hand until his adversaries have bet everything they own and have borrowed all they can from very bad people.
