This stupid fucker is saying that the president of the united states' conversastions with foreign heads of state should not be reveiwable or allowable in whistle blower cases.

"Honorable Joseph Maguire, I, Mr. Stewart, am going to suck you off, live on TV, for hundreds of thousands of people to see"
"Thank you."

Is it just me or is Maguire's story reasonable?

Also Schiff should not have misled everyone by reading an ambiguous fictional transcript. I was confused for a while.

But apart from that, the crux of the impeachable offense remains.

"I think we can agree leaks are unlawful..."

Lol deflection in full force.


And thank you Schiff for rebuking everything the previous idiot said in one sentence.

Read it. Collaborates everything we've been hearing.
  • Rudy Giuliani is FUUUUUCKED.
  • It makes a big deal of abuse of high security systems since this was NOT a national security issue. First I've heard of this and I wonder if it has legs.
  • Much more information for context on earlier calls. They were partially freezing diplomatic contact with the new Ukraine government over this issue. That seems massive.
  • Giuliani was meeting with Ukraine officials, with no official capacity, to negotiate the Ukraine government to produce compromising information on Biden. That seems a very clear violation of US law (no private citizen may parlay with foreign officials). He's so very fucked.
  • All of this adds up to what looks like a very strong case of the President trading his official powers for personal gain. I don't know how you avoid that conclusion.

What's the minimum sentence for that? I hope at least a decade for Rudy.

I wonder how this is being received/reported in Ukraine... and I wonder if this is going to make Biden look more electable, or less.

I'm meeting up with a co-worker from Ukraine next week, can't wait to ask him about this.

Once this cheetoh is out on his ass I really want someone to chime in on the Electoral College and point out that because they didn't do their job we ended up going through years of this corrupt fuck, his radicalization of folks into insane levels of racism and xenophobia, and that eventually he had to be impeached for his corruption and self serving ineptitude.
All because the Electoral College didn't do their job as outlined to avoid the entire excited mob mentality that put him in when he was clearly not qualified when they had the votes to do so.

when you say, full investigation, was it actually a full investigation, or only a "full" investigation

I know you said the full investigation was credible and urgent, but was it really full

It's nice to wake up to this. As clear cut and simple as can be. Impeach or not impeach this is illegal.

I find it hilarious that the whistle blower, who's account has been found credile is being attacked, instead of the people who committed the crime.

by hilarious, I mean depressing and sad

Why does every one of these hearings turn into a contest for who can sound like the slimiest douchebag?

What does this mean? Like I don't see how this changes much, we've known that Trump has been corrupt for years.

I think the biggest bomb is that they tried to hide documentation which is a very, very big deal for demonstrating intent to obstruct AND that they knew it was illiegal when it happened.
