Some of the people being interviewed are lying and keeping the testimony private until everyone has finished makes it harder to get away with lies.

Are they just going to ignore the 15 pages of 🔥 leaked today? I mean it's all completely damning. Schiff is just one committee chair of 4 conducting investigations, they're going to need to come up with more nicknames stat.

Trump could literally hold a live press conference during prime time on every network and say "I did the quid pro quo and it was a crime but I don't care because I am allowed to do crimes" and his base and a bunch of republicans who aren't even fans of him would say "gently caress yeah!"

Seriously y’all, disinformation flows both ways. How is it some rando on Twitter found an obviously doctored photo straight from the White House but nobody else knows where exactly it came from?

Nah, it makes sense within the larger context of what he's been talking about recently. He just did an article about how the level of committed political endorsements for presidential candidates is trailing what it was at this point for 2016 and 2008, and he's linking this phenomenon to the sudden rash of "But what if Hillary ran?" and "What about a dark horse candidate?" articles that have been popping up in Wapo and politico recently. His theory, and it's pretty reasonable, is that the big money democratic donors are A) dissatisfied with Warren and Bernie for their positions on financial reform, B) dissatisfied with Joe Biden on his position of being Joe Biden, and C) are total loving idiots, which has led to D) them pining for the days of a Clinton-esque candidate and getting their friends to write op-eds for them.

Yep. And Republicans in the "closed" hearings get to ask questions too. And when those same Republicans are not afforded an opportunity to ask grandstanding questions in front of cameras about "SOCIALISM!" or whatever, they tend to ask more penetrating questions themselves, and tend to emerge from the closed hearings kind of ashen-faced and non-committal.

She doesn’t have to use them, it’s good optics that she’s asking the common person what they’d ask a billionaire under oath or in a congressional hearing, which is a type of power the average person will never ever possess

I still don't understand why they pushed out Yovanovitch to do some crimes, but replaced her with another career diplomat.

It's hard to do crimes in Ukraine when you speak neither Ukrainan nor Russian, so they brought a career person in to translate?

Or maybe it's just not the sort of ambassadorship big donors want to buy.

The Trump Organization has reportedly removed the business's namesake from two ice skating rinks in New York City.
The Washington Post reports the ice skating rinks in Central Park, which are two of President Trump's oldest businesses, no longer bear his name on the boards around the rink.

Trump's name has also been covered on one of the rink's awnings above the desk where visitors rent skates.

The "T" in Trump is still visible but the remaining letters have been covered with a white tarp.

quote:

Trump has run the rinks since the 1980s, under a concession from the city of New York. The rinks actually played a major role in the creation of Trump as a national celebrity: In the 1980s, he took over a languishing city-run renovation project and famously finished the rink himself, on time and under budget.

When a Washington Post reporter visited Wollman Rink on Tuesday, the only prominent appearance of the Trump name was on the Zamboni ice-resurfacing machine. Employees weren’t sure if it would stay there, either. Croft, the parks watchdog, said an employee had told him it would come off.

Trump built an empire on branding, leaving his name on dozens of hotels, buildings and golf courses. Since Trump took office, his name has been removed from three hotels and six Manhattan residential buildings. But those were other people’s buildings whose owners had paid to license the Trump name.
