Schiff Says Whistleblower Complaint Exposes ‘Serious Wrongdoing’ | Talking Points Memo

Will Congress provide an interpreter, or will they just put a dictionary in front of him for words like “suggest”?

It just got released a couple of hours ago to them. DNI choked and released it… Things are collapsing, going from defiantly blocking to capitulation so fast… Historical moment.

Ironic that Putin’s other project in Britain is collapsing at literally the same time.

Go Deep State!!!

He’d have been a happier man had he done something like that many years ago.

Thank you. We wait and wait and wait for 2 years for something like this then it’s rapid fire for 2 days and it’s anyone’s guess how it will all turn out.

I would love to have him as a president. But I would also be proud to have him as a California Senator.

Checked on that this morning. At least for the Attorney General it’s exactly the same as for president. Never been done btw but that’s not a reason not to try. Dude gotta go.

Me too, would vote for him in heartbeat for one of our senators. I think it’s time for DiFi to go home.

Here’s a tea leaf. Ben Sasse, who has a safe seat in the Senate, to CNN:

Sen. Ben Sasse, a Republican from Nebraska, stopped to talk to reporters after leaving the Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility, or SCIF, saying “there’s obviously some very troubling things here.”

He also roundly criticized the “partisan tribalism” coming from both parties and President Trump as opposed to a slow, deliberative approach.

It really seems obvious that they are on their back feet suddenly—it is going so fast they’re not even on message. This is not what I expected.

I nominate Schiff to be the caretaker AG under Pelosi’s caretaker Presidency.

Hillary planned the whole thing from the get go.

She recruited Trump to run, ordered Comey to make statements about her emails when it looked like she might win the election…

Then had her Ukrainian connections rig the election for Zelensky to give Trump a target he couldn’t resist.

All because Trump called Chelsea “fat” back when she was pregnant.

When the time comes, the GOP will cut him loose without a moment’s regret. Read earlier today some GOP senator said if it were a secret ballot he’d get 30 GOP votes to convict. He’s venal and stupid, he’s put them in the worst possible position, and they hate him for it. Not that I blame them. So imagine his shock when he’s left, utterly alone, to a very dismal fate. He’ll be weeping for the days when his only problem was being a billion dollars in debt.

Oh, please. That train left the station years ago, Senator, and you missed it.

Dying to know what Dan Coates and Sue Gordon were privy to. It seems like a million years ago, but they were booted at the same time all this stuff was happening.

Rats/Ship. DNI and others deciding that they really don’t want to be going to prison for a third-rate burglary.

Sasse -I posted this in another thread. It must be really bad. He’s kept his head down.

thanks, I was confused about that too. I checked the news during my coffee break but now just a few hours later I’m already out of touch with what’s going on. I really wish news write-ups would stop assuming that if info is 2 hours old we’ve seen it already. I end up with huge holes in the story when they really could just fill us in a bit more.
