Sources tell @dailycaller that the State IG presented a packet of months-old news articles about Dem ties to Ukraine to congressional staffers during today's "urgent" briefing.
Huge blow to Dems who were expecting docs that could help w/ impeachment.

@DailyCaller The packet was apparently given to Pompeo this spring in an attempt to undermine the US Ambassador to Ukraine. It was then passed along to the IG in May, raising questions as to why this was presented as "urgent" now.
@DailyCaller Sources say some of the articles in the packet were from The Hill's John Solomon, who has written extensively about Ukraine (and particularly Democratic involvement there).
@DailyCaller This also undercuts the reporting of other outlets, who claim the briefing today was going to be about retaliation against State employees who cooperated with Dems impeachment investigation.
@DailyCaller To summarize: Dems went into the briefing expecting impeachable information. Came out with articles (which they call conspiracy theories) about their own party's connections to and pressure on Ukraine. Brutal.
Have now reviewed the docs personally and can confirm the sources’ earlier characterization of the packet.
