Trump now answering Zelensky's questions for him. Very normal.
Zelensky didn't want to answer the question and eventually said the call was "normal" after Trump kept glaring at him.
I'd also add that it doesn't matter if Trump "pressured" Zelensky to investigate Biden. He asked. That's enough.
Trump is stuck in a Hannity monologue. Asserts Hillary Clinton's emails are in Ukraine.
IMPORTANT: Zelensky just admitted Trump's request to investigate Biden was inappropriate and he couldn't pressure anyone to launch an investigation
He switched into Ukrainian to actually expand on this point. Trump asks for a translation.
Trump ends the press conference by saying Pelosi is no longer the Speaker of the House.

Don't think that's the way it works.

1. There is a SECOND WHISTLEBLOWER whose allegations are potentially just as serious.

This whistleblower says there have been "inappropriate efforts to influence" the IRS audit of Trump's taxes

Why isn't anyone talking about it?

popular.info/p/the-second-w…
2. One reason is that the 2nd whistleblower contacted Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal

Neal only revealed the existence of the whistleblower in a little-noticed court filing in August

Neal refuses to talk about it, even with members of his committee

3. Critically, there's evidence the second whistleblower's complaint is being mishandled

Treasury Sec. Mnuchin said he passed the whistleblower's complaint to Inspector General Russell George

But George told Congress no one asked him to look into it

Facebook's upcoming "news" tab sounds like an absolute train wreck

"Facebook will highlight only publishers that rated above a certain level of trustworthiness in surveys the company conducted...last year."

This is from a company that has DAILY CALLER do its fact checking
The page, which Facebook says will be limited to trustworthy outlets, may include BREITBART

The company is including Breitbart, which has laundered white nationalist talking points, to avoid claims of conservative bias

I reported that the Daily Caller reviewed a post by the "Rowdy Republican" page that had a dangerous scam targeting people with diabetes.

The Daily Caller rated it TRUE

1. The "Police Lives Matter" Facebook page accumulated 170K fans

The page purported to be run by U.S. police officers, with cops posting about the "first dayshift of my career with a K9"

It was actually run from Kosovo

popular.info/p/huge-police-…
2. The page trafficked in misinformation about U.S. cops.

For example, on August 19, 2019, the page claimed that Deputy Farrah Turner had just died from gunshot wounds

Turner actually died 10 months earlier, in October 2018

popular.info/p/huge-police-…
3. "Police Lives Matter" was part of a network of Facebook pages run from Kosovo that sought to exploit the right-wing backlash against the Black Lives Matter movement w/names like "I Support The Police US not Criminals"

It included pro-Trump memes.

Yesterday, Senator @ChuckGrassley wrote a letter about the Special Counsel's scope & power to Deputy AG Rosenstein

Grassley's not a happy bunny

And he drops a MOAB. Robert Mueller may have the ability to sign off his own FISA warrant requests to the FISC 💥

(HT to @Nick_Falco)
Here is the letter: judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
I support the Special Counsel and that shouldn't stop Congress from carrying out its oversight duties

1.) Pretty much my entire life I've been asked (primary by white people) the question that I imagine every "asian" person cringes at inside: "Where are you from?" I'm certain the person asking this is completely ignorant to how annoying this question is and why...
2.) Over time, I began to answer the question by saying "New York" or "California" - where I had spent my childhood and formative years - just to give the person the benefit of the doubt that they weren't going where I already knew they were...
3.) Inevitably, they would follow-up with some version of "no, I mean what is your background? Chinese or Japanese?" A.) WTF does it matter B.) Does anyone come up to you and ask - "hey, you Irish or German or Scottish or French or Dutch or etc...
