House Intel Committee Releases Report On Trump’s Ukraine Plot | Talking Points Memo

Several GOPers have posited there is no evidence against trump. In a rational world this report would silence them. But it will not because we are not in rational times.

Hmmmmmm…

During the delegation’s meeting with President Zelensky, Mr. Holmes recounted that “Secretary Perry passed President Zelensky a list of, quote, ‘people he trusts’ from whom Zelensky could seek advice on energy sector reform, which was the topic of subsequent meetings between Secretary Perry and key Ukrainian energy sector contacts, from which Embassy personnel were excluded by Secretary Perry’s staff.”

And I thought that expression on Nunes’ face was either constipation or simple perplexity.

Maybe the Judiciary Committee needs to call a witness from the Republican side of the aisle…

Because the call likely took place on Sept. 7th and incriminates Trump even more. Sondland lied.

Miller is spot on–except: Nunes is not “mad.”

He’s terrified.

Welp, a lotta reporters working on this mess were basically born yesterday (compared to my lifespan) and anything prior to maybe 2000 is sooo last century.

Nadler offered to listen to trump or his lawyers but daddy trump is too busy pissing on our allies at the moment to worry about losing his job.

This blows the whole thing open and changes the situation from The Republicans having to
defend one phone call to them having to defend a very complicated, year long scandal
involving dozens of people.

Parnas and others called him, but I noticed that no one ever took Nunes’ calls. Poor guy. Caller ID is not his friend.

liked x infinity - what an excellent comment.

People keep wanting to absolve him from responsibility somehow. You are absolutely correct - he knows the difference between right and wrong and knows when he is doing wrong.

He has always looked that way to me.

Indeed…so mentally ill that he is literally controlled by compulsions to act in these ways, but not incapable of discerning right from wrong…

He’s got a personality disorder and he’s also a sociopath. He’s really a lot like some of my felons from my practice. They knew what they were doing but they took a certain pleasure in what they saw as gaming the system since that’s what their entire lives were - an act, a game with the rest of us so we wouldn’t really see them.

The thing that was particularly golden about the R “prebuttal” was the use of “Democrat” as an adjective instead of the correct “Democratic.” All class all the way with the RW vocabulary.

All Trumpf needs though are 34 senate zombies to cover his ass.
