WOW: House impeachment investigators are looking at whether a former top NUNES aide -- now a Trump national security official -- was sending Trump unverified Ukraine-related info.

Per NYT, White House officials suspected this was occurring:

Kash PATEL is famously the primary author of the NUNES memo that sought to undermine the Russia probe and led Trump to declassify materials over the objection of his own FBI.
NEW: @NatashaBertrand confirms the KASH PATEL news -- Trump once thought he was in charge of Ukraine policy even though he wasn't: policyhttps://www.politico.com/news/2019/10/23/nunes-protege-ukraine-trump-055837

SULLIVAN, a top State Dept. official and Trump's nominee to be ambassador to Russia, is tellingt the Senate about his awareness of a "campaign" by Rudy Giuliani to remove Ambassador Yovanovitch.
"My knowledge...about any involvement of Mr. Giuliani was in connection with a campaign against our ambassador to Ukraine," Sulivan said, describing the spring/summer timeframe.
In repsonse to Kaine, SULLIVAN says he's only seen the public version of the Trump-Zelensky call transcript.

He also affirms that he told Yovanovitch she had done nothing wrong, despite her removal.

JUST IN: House resolution empowers SCHIFF to call public hearings and add as many rounds of uninterrupted questioning as he wants -- up 45 minutes per side -- in which only SCHIFF/NUNES or a staffer can ask questions.

docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/…
There's not much else of significance in here. It directs the Judiciary Committee to issue its own procedures for offering Trump the ability to call or cross examine witnesses.

docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/…
ALSO: The resolution spells out that Republicans can suggest subpoenas or witnesses but must submit justifications in writing and they can be vetoed by Dems.

That's consistent with previous impeachment procedures. docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/…

💥Top Diplomat in Ukraine Testifies to Direct Link Between Military Aid & Investigations. Amb Taylor described the quid pro quo “in excruciating detail”—Trump held aid & refused WH meeting til Zelensky opened investigations into Dem rivals. #Impeachment nytimes.com/2019/10/22/us/…
🔥Read Amb Taylor's opening statement. It's both gripping & heartening to see a State Dept professional lay out #Ukraine's strategic importance for the US & the world. Makes Trump exploiting U's vulnerability to #Russia particularly egregious. washingtonpost.com/context/openin… #Impeachment
Taylor set the stage for his damning testimony by explaining Ukraine's strategic importance, in 3 main points.

1. Ukraine is a strategic partner of the US, important for our national security & Europe's.
2. Ukraine is and has been under armed attack from Russia for 5 years.

We need look no further than #UkraineGate as the basis with which to impeach Trump.

That said, for many Americans Trump's extortion of Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 election won't be enough to turn the impeachment dial.
Trump's obstruction of justice will also not be *quite* enough. Neither will the endless contacts with Russians, the caging of children, the praise of dictators, the racism, the bullying and so on.

Perhaps no Trump-created atrocity will ever be enough for these people.
For whatever reason - their Fox News-fueled hatred of Democrats, their fear of immigrants, their glee at the surge of newly-appointed conservative judges, their odd affinity for red baseball caps -

America sits with the fundamental question what does the USA stand for?
As trump is yet again seeking and actively recruiting foreign powers and foreign nationals to help him steal the people’s vote in the 2020 election.
Thread back into time starting in the summer of 2018
Trump stood alongside Putin in front of the world, on foreign soil vehemently defending a hostile foreign power over the unanimous conclusion of the USA that Russia interfered in the 2016 election & is actively engaged in ongoing sustained cyber attacks on critical infrastructure
DNI Coats and FBI Director Wray say
(We're Under Attack) 🚨

Trump is willfully ignoring those warnings from every single one of his own US Intel Chiefs.

That's unAmerican unpatriotic and a betrayal of trump’s oath of office and it’s not okay.
