A thoroughly corrupt group of people. The more corrupt, the more they will resist accountability.

A demonstrably tepidly acknowledged fact.

They need to get the word out that a lot of people could be going to jail.

“The House warned that a failure to comply on either front [appearing for deposition and producing documents] will be cited as obstruction in the impeachment inquiry.”

Getting serious and making it clear this will move along with consequences for stonewalling.

If you start off with the conclusion, the argument doesn’t have to make sense.

Just because there’s an impeachment going on doesn’t mean the grifting has to stop.

In fact, it may increase so as to get as much in as possible while there’s still time and opportunity.

Good for the Democrats, they came out really strong in demanding that these people and documents appear…calling any delays “obstruction of impeachment” is a good thing to see here. You can pretty much guarantee that the Trump administration will try to block any cooperation with Congress; the strong statement demanding compliance should clear out any court cases quickly, and I hope the House starts applying penalties after that point.

Things are really going to move now, that’s pretty clear…and it looks like they are going to run down all the avenues they can to get information. Now, we wait to see what happens next.

I hope Pompeo goes to the graybar hotel.

I detest that fat ugly fuck.

Well, isn’t that suspicious…I guess the question is if he’s going to try to get the stories straight with the Russians, the Ukrainians, both, or if he’s just going to ask Russia for asylum. What an idiot…hopefully Congress can reach out and touch him as well for all of his shenanigans.

The House warned that a failure to comply on either front will be cited as obstruction in the impeachment inquiry.

Has slightly more gravitas than just a standard congressional inquiry. Good!

BTW: that rally Trump wants to hold in Minneapolis is deliberately scheduled to take place in Omar’s district in an attempt to flip it in 2020. Not everyone is thrilled with the idea of the rally, period:
