lmao, now Nunes is accusing the intelligence community of leaking all calls the president has :D

And this dude is very good at covering his rear end and is throwing it right back on the White House and the dozens of folks who were much more likely to leak the calls. He shut Nunes the gently caress down.

Nunes just said the dumbest thing I think he has ever said to conclude his questioning

Basically 'I sure hope we gett to cover these things up next time like they ought to have been'

This guy seems to have woken up when Nunes started talking. He couldn’t even answer yes or no questions with Schiff.

Also Nunes is flubbing this. He has no argument he is trying to make.

He doesn't understand what he's saying ever, so you can ask him to say anything and he'll say it with the same level of confidence.

he is desperate. he is looking for ANY kind of murk to hide in and is desperate to look for any kind of cover or advantage but this poo poo is simple/bad enough for him to be hosed.

Clearly their strategy is to try and discredit the whistleblower but it’s a bit late for that since we have documents corroborating what he said

More trash for the trash fire
I'm curious why the president would *want* to have private conversations with other world leaders, as Nunes implies. The president is supposed to be advocating on behalf of the US, not cutting loving deals that benefit him.

It's absolutely tradition to publish 'readouts' of discussion with foreign leaders, this is a perfectly normal thing.

Another significant note in the Classified Appendix:

quote:

"On 18 July, an Office of Management and Budget (OMB) official informed Departments and Agencies that the President "earlier that month" had issued instructions to suspend all U.S. security assistance to Ukraine. Neither OMB nor the NSC knew why this instruction had been issued. During interagency meetings on the 23 July and 26 July, OMB officials again stated explicitly that the instruction to suspend this assistance had come directly from the President, but they still were unaware of a policy rationale."

Am I understanding this correctly that they could have completely fabricated yesterday's first "transcript" and avoided or at least delayed the drama but they just kinda left the crimes in? :psyduck:

I don't think the Administration is competent enough to think this through, but it feels like releasing the most damning evidence ahead of the evidence that just alludes to it is not the worst move. It means the most recent information is more equivocal than what came before, and the news media is awful at contextualizing.

They left crimes in (but there might be MORE!) and it matches the whistleblower's report perfectly.

Also they classified everything involving Ukraine so highly that the bureaucratic paper trail for it would reach to the moon and back. They stuck it in a classification category so high that you can't walk into the same building it's in without being X-rayed coming and going. Their attempt to bury it may have just given it infinite traceability instead haha

A few Fox News shows bring in someone who tends to not be the best at arguing so the conservative hosts can just dunk on them over and over while they look ineffective. It’s why they tend to be unprepared when someone who can do that comes on a show

yea Juan is the new Allan Combs, he's a really milquetoast liberal with no real threatening leftist views other than a generic 'racism...bad?' kinda stance, and he's really bad at arguing despite this literally being his job for decades, so they just have him on to go 'I think, personally, it may be bad for Trump to destroy the safety net to give a small profit to his friends' and have everyone go 'BUT IT'S GOOD ACTUALLY'. They kinda weren't ready for him to actually have a good burn.

So it seems that the GOP members of the committee are going to attack the process of what went on rather than the substance. They're also tone policing. They know they can't really attack this on the facts they're just like "This shouldn't be going on in the public and this is tearing our country apart and I'm sorry Mr. Director if the Dems are mean to you."
