Unclear on which planet or in which dimension? It’s a “no” in this one.

So after Vindman’s testimony…how will Blair’s answer’s stack up if he deigns to show up?

I’m pretty sure, after the House vote on impeachment this coming Thursday, the Thugs-R-Us will find another “phony” excuse not not to show up!

Addendum:
I should have been more specific…
“House votes this coming Thursday” = Vote On The Process For Impeachment

They are already saying the process was contaminated beyond redemption, so no there will never be a “legitimate” impeachment process for them.

Little fish, little peripheral fish being asked questions behind closed doors. Little fish hoping their answers aren’t contradicted by other little fish. Little fish paying for their own attorneys. Little fish in the pan.

Suggestions for the Committee Chairmen:

  1. Subpoena Blair.
  2. Hold him in contempt the moment he doesn’t show.
  3. Arrest him.
  4. Jail him until he testifies.
  5. Fine him $10,000 per day in the interim.

The impeachment inquiry is eating its way up the food chain. The principals like Pompeo and Mulvaney are being ignored.

That is a lesson for future administrations. Don’t commit crimes in the presence of career professionals. Unlike bought and paid for politicians they care about American and will tell the truth.

THIS IS NOT A VOTE ON IMPEACHMENT. This is a vote on some of procedure for conducting the impeachment inquiry. The impeachment inquiry is already in progress, due to the Speaker’s say-so.

[senior adviser to Mulvaney] was on the now-infamous call

Do we know of anyone in the West Wing who was not on that call?

You may very well be right. And that’s why I like having the likes of Pelosi and Schiff playing for our team.

This fantasy crap again. How do you arrest him? Criminal referral to DoJ who will “get on that one real soon now” and wipe their asses with it?

So just how many e’ffing people were on this call? I understand translators, NSC types, but Blair? An aide to the President and adviser to Mick?
They’re criming and corrupting all over the damn place.

Somebody on the impeachment inquiry team spent time prosecuting organized crime. This is exactly how they get mob bosses.

About a dozen, not including principals and interpreters. Add one whistleblower who was not on the call but was reporting the concerns of others who were.

No, can’t remember where I saw it, but “Robert” is apparently some other guy that Rudy is known to have worked with frequently.

ETA: Ok, here’s one story that speculatively identifies him.

I am sort of expecting to hear that the “transcript” we have seen isn’t the full transcript, and serious shit has been redacted. That is why Trump was shocked when his “perfect call” record was so obviously not perfect. He thought they had taken out all the bad stuff, but hadn’t.

Oh I get that I just needed and excuse to rail against the criming and corrupting.
Once Trump is gone I think the OPM needs to deduct monies from all WH employees above a certain grade to pay for the clean up and saging of all the rooms in the WH.
