I’m reminded of the “West Wing” episode “Life on Mars”:
“Forty-seven phone calls?” Leo says to Hoynes. “Did you not know that the White House keeps records of phone calls?”

A nice graphic, showing the connections from Giuliani to each of the others, would look like an intricate snowflake. Just in time for Christmas.

I’m interested in the intersections with Nunes. He is clearly acting as a co-conspirator. What’s Nancy going to do about him?

This also blows out of the water the Rogue-Rudy theory Trump/some conservative commentators have been pushing.

Probably an ethics investigation but who knows how that will play out.

PSA to wannabe co-conspirators: Especially if you’re on the international jet-set list, very easy to pick up cheap sim cards in many places without ever using ID…

That would be a like a charisma investigation on Gym Jordan. Hard to investigate the very thing the person lacks.

Let’s just say it involves an official House investigation, a stiletto heel, and a permanent limp.

Can someone tell me how Nixon’s went down again? I was like 8.

Were impeachment articles voted out of the house? If so, was a Senate Trial begun? If no Senate Trial was begun, where did all those Sam Ervin Senate investigations come from? Looks to me like Moscow Mitch isn’t holding any investigations. I thought the Senate investigations were the real riveting TV spectacles back in the day.

“The phone records show that within an hour of speaking to U.S. Special Envoy to Ukraine Kurt Volker, Giuliani spoke with Kash Patel, a former Nunes staffer now on the National Security Council, for over 25 minutes.”

There goes Biss’ Defamation Lawsuit on behalf of Kash Patel.
