Per Kevin Moris, the payments for a Porsche that David Weiss used to claim that Hunter was living a fancy lifestyle were, instead, an attempt to get out from underwater on the loan so he could get rid of it.

Here's how Weiss described it in the indictment:

Also, Morris clarifies that most of the $1M payments that Weiss cited to suggest Hunter was sitting on a wad of cash he should have paid to IRS was payments to third parties (as I suspected).

Morris described how Hunter ended in a house quickly: Bc a mob ginned up by Murdoch kept knocking on Hunter's door.

Morris: I'm not answering Qs abt indictment [he doesn't say, "bc this is going to trial"]
GOP: But you didn't give us a list!
Morris Atty: You didn't ask for docs.
GOP: Wah wah wah!!

Halfway thru the Morris deposition he breaks to tell @JasmineForUS he's a fan.

Morris: I researched ethics of loaning money to a client.
Biggs: So have I and I don't want to get into it right now.
Morris: Yeah, because I'm right.

Andy Biggs confesses to having loaned family members and/or friends money, which I understand is an impeachable offense.

Spartz makes what counts among MAGAts as a funny. @AdamKinzinger

If you think there's no drama in MAGAt depositions, I can't wait to find out whether Morris tells these people they're being assholes.

Finally!!! A reason to impeach!!

Kevin Morris' opinions about the Iggles! (He's talking about the absolutely scandalous conversations he has had with James Biden.)

In which a poor GOP staffer asks plaintively if Joseph Ziegler lied as if he hasn't already been debunked repeatedly.

Things go a bit haywire when the Republicans who believe as an article of faith that there's a secret first draft of the Mike Flynn 302 now see no problem with taking 34 days, DURING a blow up of the investigative team, to write up an interview memo.

"We're finishing a film about Adam Kinzinger. You're in it."
