CuddleCryptid posted:I wouldn't worry about what the GOP is going to spin too much. We're operating on "talking points disproven by first page of memo" level of deflection here I'm not worried about spin, I'm just frustrated by this guy's ability to cover his own rear end without implicating anyone else.

I do feel that the DNI cares about protecting the integrity of the whistleblower process which is pretty cool coming from a Trump appointee.

ewiley posted: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. As always, you really don't understand how loving dumb Trump is, and how smart he thinks he is. He is really, really loving dumb and he really thinks he is super smart.

Schiff is grilling him now on who made the decision to withhold the complaint. MaGuire is waffling. He is terrified to answer this question directly.

Schiff summed up the memo and made it clear it was not actually a transcript, because it literally said on page one 'this is not a transcript'. Since then all the republicans have been screaming "IT'S A TRANSCRIPT YOU LIAR!!!!!!"
