I care only as far as "Republican governor with ridiculously high approval ratings says Trump should be impeached" can stir up chaos
From the brilliant minds that brought us " I thought Dems would be happy I fired Comey"
In lesson 343438 of never to capitulate to the fuckwit faction, Residues are now complaining that Bernie was runner up in the healthcare union endorsement (even though he was still jointly endorsed!):
I want him to come out for impeachment so bad it hurts. I want to see my GOP donating relatives squirm. They all love Hogan and don't particularly like Trump, but not enough to stop defending him.
those texts are the only defense he has! He needs to make sure someone doesn't hack his phone and delete them.
"Bernie is clearly the superior choice, the people will decide that"
(the people choose someone else)
"The people are FUCKING dumb, give it to Bernie or else!!!"
Giuliani is going to throw haymakers all the way down to the mat. Trump's crime syndicate style has at least the one impressive feat that he requires everyone to get their hands dirty to be on his team. Anyone who balks in the slightest is out the door.
Rudy isn't exonerating himself, but he's ensnaring others and expanding the dragnet with his language. More people are being involved in a conspiracy is good news for Rudy how?
They technically are right, Warren is hedging a bit on healthcare. Though most of us here think that's smart.
He's attempting to force them into defending themselves instead of turning on him. Arguably similar to Trump dragging Pence into things... it's a warning that Republicans can't throw trump under the bus and just get President Pence
As much as it'll be a shitshow, we have to remember a hearing with a man that has been repeatedly pantsed by Christ Cuomo on Live TV can't be bad for us. Especially if we use Counsel.
1. If more people are implicated they're less inclined to throw him under the bus - they'll attempt to stonewall together.
2. If Rudy gets hit with charges he can plead down by promising to rat out everyone he's already implicated.
I had a fun interaction at the grocery store just now. I was in the produce section grabbing stuff for dinner, and there's this middle aged bald man there stocking the shelves with produce. He makes a polite "How are you today sir?" and I reply with "Pretty good", and he starts talking about how it's a nice day outside, and I agreed but followed up with how things are about to get cold and nasty. He says "cold and nasty... are you talking about the President?" ...and then he just starts talking about how maybe the reason he's so happy today, and why it seems so beautiful outside is that impeachment is moving forward. I told him about how this Acting DNI testimony was going real well, and he got super excited about that. I'm just so used to blood red Idaho, that I never expect for someone to bring up politics in a good way. It was kinda fun. We both talked about how nice it is to go through years of deep existential dread every day and to finally feel like things are changing for the better. I apologize for this rambling post that contributes very little to the thread... It was just super pleasant.
I'm not sure that Rudy is thinking as far ahead as you guys are, if only because he's such a rambler that he walks into these problems a LOT.
Ugh, we cast a hex on the world when we made him mayor.

I don't think so. I think the Whitsleblower is someone lower level than that.
But he is only resposible for the handling of the WB complaint, not the subject of the complaint.
Anyone able to give me a quick reader's digest summary of the last hour or so? What's this about Baker/Scott?
Scott endorsed the impeachment probe, we're just talking about the possibility now that Baker might.
Notice how no Republicans are defending Trump about the allegations against him, instead they're all complaining about procedure as a misdirection. That's important.
Wow... anything from any Rs in congress beyond Sasse's "don't circle the wagons in defense yet" thing from yesterday?
Yeah as with most of those in Trump's orbit, there's never any strategy just hubris and stupidity. Guiliani has been spending this past week going around telling the media he has so much evidence on his phone. After that WP article released that tried to pin everything on him.
A good response to that would be "so you don't think these concerning allegations should be investigated then?"
This. And it also implicates State Department and certainly puts them in front of Congress too.
This kind of "I haven't read this" thing is nonsense. They would be abdicating their duty if they haven't already.
