Of course QTip won’t let the details out. He’s dirtier than dirt, he’s seeing his (pipe)dreams of the WH circling the toilet with his Fearless Leader’s impeachment and he’s still hoping that Spankee survives and comes out the other side, if they can just keep the bad stuff hidden from sight.

He’s gonna cover up and cover up and cover up unless/until he figures unsticking his lips from Spankee’s backside is going to “save” him.

It’s hard to gauge “who’s the most repulsive”

Until you realize that it’s time ill-spent, in any case.

I may be misunderstanding what has taken place here, but last night WaPo reported Schiff forwarded the classified testimony to the Judiciary, evidently contrary to Pence’s wishes.

Schiff sends classified witness testimony to Judiciary Committee

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) sent a document containing classified witness testimony Wednesday to the Judiciary Committee for consideration before it marks up articles of impeachment, according to a letter from Schiff that accompanied the material and was released publicly.

The letter described the document as a “classified supplemental written submission” from Jennifer Williams, a special adviser on Russia to Vice President Pence who testified in an open impeachment hearing last month. The topic is a Sept. 18 phone call between Pence and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the letter stated.

The classified material was not released publicly, and The Post could not independently verify its contents.

Schiff wrote that his panel asked Pence’s office Dec. 6 to declassify the document “as there is no legitimate basis to assert that the information therein is classified,” but that Pence’s office has not responded. Pence’s office has said the call was classified and cannot be discussed in open settings.

Schiff’s letter stated that Williams provided the supplemental material to the Intelligence Committee through her lawyer Nov. 26, a week after her public testimony.

Trump and the WH made an assumption that Pelosi would never impeach. That caused them to overreach and they’re getting burned at the stake for it.

Now, their assumption is that prosecutors’ offices won’t move against them. That’s also flawed. The IG and SDNY’s recent activities suggest that they do see Barr/WH as a threat and are willing to move if Congress follows through with impeachment. Certainly, we are at a point where the mysterious money trail from the Kremlin into the GOP is being revealed by way of Lev Parnas through the SDNY’s investigation. One has to believe that AG Barr did not want that info released. There are too many holes in the dam for the GOP to stop. Impeach this motherfucker and a lot of other things will move forward to take this WH down.

Trump is not a well person:

President Donald Trump went on an early morning Twitter rampage Thursday, with dozens of furious tweets and retweets attacking targets ranging from former law enforcement officials, House Democrats, and 16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg.

Vox.com’s Aaron Rupar did a tally of all the president’s tweets and found that he had posted 68 times as of 8:52 a.m. Since then, the president has blasted out four additional retweets, bringing his post total to more than 70 before 9 a.m.

How do we get rid of A.G. Barr. He seems to be more corrupt than Trump AND more dangerous.

  1. What Pence is doing is what the Mormons call Lying For The Lord.
  2. It’s a time-honored, christian method usually performed by faux-christians.
  3. As with †Я☭mp®, the louder the claim, the more likely it’s a lie. (>10,000 to date)

This is the stuff that they didn’t bother classifying until it was mentioned in Williams’ private testimony. It is part of the cover-up. Pence is working on his own abuse and obstruction articles.

Pence has nowhere near the protection that Trump does. In addition he’s sane (in a way), which means that he can calculate an exit much more rationally.
