Fyi, this is a good opportunity for everyone to practice saying "they" to refer to an unknown person, because we have absolutely no idea about their gender.

am i insane? is maguire saying that nobody is above the law but the intelligence committee can't investigate the president?? is that what is that what is augh help

I mean that may be true, since investigations into the president are normally not covered by IC. That said, the whistleblower was not investigating, he just reported things that he had discovered over the course of his job

That would seem to be what he's trying to do, yeah. He's kind of parroting Mueller at this point: "You have the evidence you need! What more can I say?"

Yeah, this is gonna end up like Muller if he isn't subpoenaed for that conversation and/or forced to hold an actual opinion.

He’s referred to the whistleblower by “he” at least once. Not sure if that means anything. He’s also called women “congressman” and a man “congresswoman.”

Prepare to have someone tell you that singular 'they' is somehow ungrammatical, even though it's been in common use for over half a millenium.

Schiff is really laying out the case for Maguire that either one of these two things is true:

a) That the DNI not turning over the whistleblower report means he broke the law, or
b) That the President is de facto above the law because the President and DOJ have One Neat Trick™ for burying whistleblower reports

This is the biggest takeaway from the DNI's testimony today.
This also seems to be exactly backwards from what should be... The President asking intelligence on their viewpoint on how to best deal with a particular country seems like the expected course of action... while discussing whistle-blower complaints against them highly inappropriate.

Sorry, I'm overthinking this-- is the joke that he's just hanging out texting in a Senate stairwell while the House intel committee is doing its thing, or is there no joke and the photo highlights something different? Is it just kinda the 'kid in the rain' picture but with a senator?

This is an unknown person we are talking about here, if saying "he" instead of "they" offends you like it would misgendering a person whom you know the identity of, then maybe you just want to be offended. Don't get me wrong here, it's hosed up to intentionally misgender someone. But gently caress dude, at what point is it acceptable to not have to worry about hurting people feelings when your dealing with an unknown person.

Hate speech is a directed action. It's intentional, and it's meant to demean someone. Don't pretend this is the same thing.

I have to say, Drudge doesn't seem to be in the camp of defense of the president which I find a bit surprising. But on the other hand didn't Matt Drudge make his name on the coverage of Clinton's impeachment? So perhaps he is trying to appear impartial?

Hey partner thanks for laying out exactly why in this situation you should use "they" but then pivoting straight into how if you do say it you must be terminally offended.
