It’s been a whirlwind week for the Ukraine pressure campaign, and as usual, quite a bit of news broke overnight. We’ve put together a run-down of several minor developments that might have slipped under your radar in the past 18 hours.
Just like Watergate, this is spiralling out of the Dotards control, slowly sucking everyone in…
It is only a question of what happens to Barr and Pompeo now…
The plot is thickening. Here’s hoping the folks above place country over party and will not buck under the pressure from the administration.
These run-downs are really very helpful. Thanks, TPM!
Excellent work, Nicole Lafond. Individually these revelations are of some importance, collectively they are very important in the whole scheme (literally a scheme!) of things.
CNN’s source did indicate that Giuliani is a target in the investigation.
did NOT indicate
I was hoping that wasn’t a typo.
Me, too! But the CNN article reads:
The sources did not say that Giuliani was a target of the investigation.
Trump is in a tightening downward spiral. If it isn’t already, it soon will be a death spiral.
Sondland thinks he can audition for a bigger role. Meanwhile, how does the Trump JD not prosecute this shill for testifying and then prosecute the ones they don’t approve of - they made a mistake here.
It’s about the consequences. They can’t hit the next guy harder than this guy, though they’ll try.
“I am not a crook” used local labor to steal dirt on Dems.
“I am ‘No Collusion’ + ‘No Quid Pro Quo’” used foreign labor to steal & manufacture dirt on the Dems!
Despite the notoriety, Nixon served and established EPA & OSHA. In contrast, Trump had fake bone spurs 5x to avoid serving and is gutting EPA.
Hands down no question who is the biggest crook here! I’m speculating that the Trump Criminal Regime will net more indictments and convictions than Watergate!
It seems like every day widens the amount of information, pretty much all of it damaging to Trump. It’s going to take a while for all of this to be shaken out, especially with Congress having to go to court to get their subpoenas honored…though people testifying despite the blockade is very heartening. The Democrats need to tell a good story out of all of this, one that Americans can clearly understand…I don’t see how Trump survives that, and he’ll drag the Republicans down with him. Good, they deserve it.
The plot thickens!
This is almost as good as a Rand-McNally roadmap. Thanks TPM!
This is how much respect the world has now for the US, the SecOfDef begging the turks to delay their offensive… guess Turks don’t believe that Trump is capable of destroying their economy like he has done before(?!)

Alexei Leonov, the first person to walk in space, has just died.
Donald Trump, the first person who should die in space, still lives.
The turkey caucus is growing larger as the pigeons come home to roost.
Hard to believe the initial press reaction was to ask:
“Speaker Pelosi, is it possible that you’re making too much of one phone call?”
(Kind of like asking Mrs. Lincoln if she were making too much of one theater performance.)
Marie Yovanovitch was apparently removed from her post as U.S. ambassador to Ukraine after she told Giuliani that he should use official governmental channels to relay his investigation requests, the Associated Press reported, citing an ex-diplomat who spoke to Yovanovitch about the issue.
Burn, Rudy! Burn! You’re toast!
