Oh god Nunes is going into the same conspiracy theory bullshit that the ancient boomer coworker told me about yesterday. “Trump wasn’t colluding, it was THE DEMs! The party is collapsing, they’ll all be in prison in a week!” He then admitted that “only Fox is talking about this”. This parallel universe poo poo is so tiresome, gently caress you Ailes and may there be a hell for you to rot in from you cursing us with this bullshit.

"Cruelly incompetent persona" was coined by Hunter S. Thompson to describe Nixon, but it applies so perfectly to so many Republicans.

Anything deleted off a classified system would not only record who did it and when, but metadata about the document itself. Anyone with access to something THAT classified would be a vanishingly small list of people.

Lol Schiff tried to jump right into the questions without letting the DNI read his opening statement and then realized his mistake. He's so eager to start questioning.

TyrantWD posted:Let the fast readers tell us whats in it: The actual report is only a few pages long so I would encourage everyone to read it. Summarizing: - Trump asked for political favors from Ukraine on a call that featured several people. Call was first reported on by the Ukranian side as a "discussion about corruption" - Once the admin realized how awful it was, they sent it to a server that is supposed to only hold the most classified of information, essentially burying it in paperwork. Supposedly there is an actual transcript of the conversation. - Members of the admin have been repeatedly sent to advise the Ukranians how to "navigate" Trump's demands. - Rudy Giuliani was a major player directly, Barr's connection was less established in the document. There's more but if this can be shown to be credible enough to convince the public then we are about to have an interesting week.

SKULL.GIF posted:It's also not a transcript, don't fall for the Republican framing It doesn't matter what it is. The words in it literally amount to "I am committing a crime right now." The content of it is incredibly damning. If the content of what we have isn't enough, then I'm not sure what productive purpose is served by worrying about an unsanitized version.

Mahoning posted:Yeah, I just skimmed this whole thing and it's nothing we didn't already know or suspect, so theres no "bombshell" of that sort. But it pretty much details how this has been an ongoing thing since May and how obviously they all know they're breaking the law because they're attempting to cover up what they're doing. It also inculpates Barr in addition to Rudy. edit: June is not July

I turned to CNN because I was curious to see what was happening and what the anchors were saying. It was right as Schiff turned the floor over to Nunes and Nunes bleated something about "Democrat informational warfare". I couldn't change the channel fast enough. But if this is all they've got as a counter, then  .

Turbo classifying everything around the Ukraine crimes was actually maybe the stupidest thing imaginable, because it means all of it has incredibly strict bureaucratic traceability for both physical and electronic copies. Either it's all there, or it's glaringly obvious when it was destroyed and by whom. It's fine to say "Trump disobeys rules" but we're talking about a big system Trump understands nothing about, and probably never thought about beyond "classify it so nobody can read it and gently caress off."
