Pompeo's gambit didn't work. Volker was a ground-zero guy dealing with containing the Rudy fallout and he recently resigned. Yovanovitch was the American ambassador that Donnie got rid of because she was likely too squeaky-clean for this bullshit.

Trump was just cold-calling various heads of state and asking them for "help", wasn't he?

The string of events is that he was basically looking to discredit the Mueller report, even after the report was done and Democrats were going to dither around on the obstruction information. Basically, what Barr is doing now. Except Donnie is dumb, so he extended it out to the Biden thing, because of his fox news brain thinking it was Ukraine that hacked the DNC, not Russia.

There was also a presser where a reporter asked Trump what he wanted from Ukraine about the Bidens, and he bullshitted. So the reporter asked him the same question again, multiple times, all with bullshit. Trump then demanded that he ask the Finland president a question, which the reporter did. Trump then immediately jumped in to answer that question, called CNN corrupt, and walked off, ending the thing early.

nevermind - a reference was to Mike Pompeo

I don't think anyone on Capitol Hill knows what to make about the State IG briefing.

It looks like some wingnut (in an administration full of them) sent a 40-page packet of poo poo, in Trump Hotel folders, from the White House to Secretary of State Pompeo, which had a bunch of bullshit about the former Ukrainian Ambassador that's set to testify.

This seems to be the basic anti-impeachment strategy of airing out as many batshit insane conspiracies and lies to get through it. It might work, but I still don't see any of it convincing currently nonverbal Republicans. And it still doesn't account for any of the actual materials getting out, or the "transcript".

I'm thinking it's a "me, or your lying eyes" play.

The EU Tariff thing is about a World Trade Organization ruling. Apparently, the EU has been subsidizing loans to Airbus, making Airbus planes cheaper. In response, Donnie wanted to add a 10% aircraft tariff, plus the wine/spirits/cheese thing, but it took a while for the WTO to allow it to go through. It's not about Donnie's poo poo resort, THOUGH IT SURE WOULD BE NICE TO MAKE HIM DIVEST OF ALL TBAG BULLSHIT

Handsome Ralph posted:

So wait, was the IG trolling congress or was he showing up with documents to show the lengths Trump, Pampeo, etc. are going to discredit things?

Word was that it was about Pompeo punishing people. Instead, it was Giuliani's oppo dossier on Biden, conspiracies, and the Ambassador that made it to Pompeo. State IG decided to enter in because he had given the bullshit to the FBI earlier, and it became congressional-adjacent because they want to interview the fired Ambassador that Rudy got spiked.

It also involves John Solomon, notoriously bad writer on The Hill, giving advance notice to Rudy and Co before his poo poo got published.

Man, this is a loving good origin story.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-10-02/trump-s-impeachment-saga-stems-from-a-political-hit-job-gone-bad

This whole thing started because Peter Schweizer (Clinton Cash writer) and Steve Bannon tried to do a Clinton Cash-type thing against Biden, funded by Rebekah Mercer, called Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends. The whole concept was to put the Hunter Biden poo poo into conservative media, make it allege shady-but-not illegal poo poo, then get it eventually picked up by mainstream media. Then, you get the *mainstream media* to tar the Bidens as shady, without the "conservative attack" fingerprints on it. Bam, you have another Hillary.

The main problem was that it wasn't really a Biden book - Biden was just a part of who was mentioned in the book and it was just his son. So, the poo poo in the book swirled around conservative media, as projected, but never really leaped past that point. It was still just another "conservative attack" not worth covering.

It all went wrong because Trump is impatient and watches Fox News too much. WHY WON'T THE NEW YORK TIMES COVER THIS LIKE HANNITY ON FOX??? RUDY, GO INVESTIGATE IT.

He's going to get impeached because he watches Fox News too much. It's fuckin great.
