Trump's rebuttal to the current situation is a fever dream of nonsense.

He's relying on the public to not pay attention, to not read the relevant documents ...
So, here are the relevant documents so far:

1) The White House's own release of the call with the Ukrainian president: whitehouse.gov/wp-content/upl…
2) Here's the whistleblower complaint: intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…
3) The House Intelligence Committee hearing with acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire, during which Trump is claiming Schiff committed "treason," by putting words in his mouth.

Watch it for yourself. c-span.org/video/?464509-…
If you don't want to believe the press, fine. You're doing yourself a disservice, but that's your prerogative.

Go to the primary source material and decide for yourself.

Republicans now saying there is no way China is taking Trump's invitation to investigate Joe Biden seriously.

"You really think he was serious?" Rep. Jim Jordan told @GStephanopoulos this morning. abcnews.go.com/Politics/rep-j…
“I doubt the China comment was serious," @RoyBlunt told @FaceTheNation. thehill.com/homenews/sunda…
We already know China took it seriously enough to issue a statement:

One of the main talking points from the White House and Trump supporters these days is that the whistleblower claimed that Trump discussed a quid pro quo on his phone call with Ukrainian President Zelensky.

This is not true.
The whistleblower's description of the call contains nothing about a quid pro quo or a reference to the halt to Ukrainian military assistance.
The whistleblower raises Trump's decision to withhold the military funding later in his complaint, clearly saying he's not sure if it's connected to the overall pressure campaign.

Sir, you are either lying or unaware of the facts.

Here is the first letter from the Intelligence Community IG to Schiff, dated September 9. intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…

That is when Rep. Schiff first became aware that a complaint existed, but did not know what it was about.
After the IG received the complaint on Aug. 12, he took 14 days to review it & determine whether it was credible and met the legal definition of an "urgent concern."

Then, he sent the complaint to the acting director of national intelligence on Aug. 26.
The whistleblower addressed his letter to Burr and Schiff, but that doesn't mean he filed it with them. That wouldn't have been lawful.

He followed whistleblower procedures and filed his complaint with the IG.

A #Trump-hating, Democrat/Socialist judge in #Houston, who describes himself as an "activist", didn't know the law, so he unwittingly resigned himself from his judgeship.

Hey #Texas, you better pay attention and DO NOT elect this guy to Texas Supreme Court!
Here is this judges website:

Here's some of his anti-Trump rhetoric. This coming from an "impartial" judge.

#Trump is going to speak in the Rose Garden any minute now. Is he going to lie a bunch about reopening the government? Is he just going to yell "no collusion! witch hunt!" over and over again? Both? Stay tuned!
Oh hell, #Trump is going to take questions too. This is going to be a sh*tshow.
#Trump is running about a half hour late. I wonder if he's spent this whole time on the phone with Ann Coulter, begging for permission to cave?

@Jim_Jordan Any #Trump sycophant, alleged pedophile protector, trying to besmirch this hero, while his own children will have to suffer from the decisions made for the country, is sad. Why wouldn't the #GOP make it an open door session if they had nothing to hide? Your reign ends soon.
@Jim_Jordan As time passes, more comes to light, with the Steele dossier, Trumps alleged involvement in Epstein child sex ring where Secretary Acosta stopped the FBI investigation before more suspects could be arrested, and money laundering campaign contributions from Russian operatives.
@Jim_Jordan Plus your support for a theocratic monarchy that really acts like a ruthless inhumane dictator & desire to sell American technology to them when it could then be used to kill our own troops or handed over to Russia is genuinely INSANE. Who is dishonorable, spineless sycophantic?

So #Trump is holding a news conference in about five minutes. I’ll be watching (and probably tweeting). Follow/mute at will!
Okay, #Trump has started speaking. He's already slurring. He's already made a joke about "a lot of......MEDIA.".

This does not bode well.
#Trump is now saying that China wants to "see me lose an election because they've never been challenged before."

It's not just China, pal.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
