Important from Yovanovitch's lawyer on the State Dept's failure to produce legal guidance for his client:

"Ambassador Yovanovitch has been subpoenaed to testify, and as we read the law, she is obliged to be here and testify, and she will...
"...We have repeatedly asked the State Dept's office of the legal advisor to provide us with a written statement that we could read on their behalf so that their concerns regarding what they term, 'executive branch confidentiality interests,' could be heard by this committee...
... We have asked them to specify in writing particular topics with respect to which they wish us to point out their interests. And although we were told we would receive such a statement, we have not."

Weird how Trump is always surrounded by criminals.

The trial of Roger Stone, Trump's close adviser for years, starts this week: nbcnews.com/politics/polit…

It's astonishing when you look at how many people have stepped forward -- defying the White House & complying w/ congressional subpoenas -- to tell what they know about Trump, Ukraine & a quid pro quo (weapons to fight Russia for an investigation into Biden).

A running list:
Marie Yovanovitch,the US ambassador to Ukraine who was prematurely forced out because Trump & Giuliani thought she stood in the way of their agenda:

The former US special representative to Ukraine Kurt Volker, who had to resign amidst the scandal:

Huge! Democrats are telling Intelligence to disobey presidential declassification orders. Tell me this isn’t a coup.

Highlights fro #Senate Intelligence Committee Hearing on foreign interference via social media platforms:

"Election interference from abroad represents an intolerable assault on the democratic foundation this republic was built on" per @SenatorBurr
"It's also important that the American people know that these activities neither began nor ended with the 2016 elections" per @SenatorBurr "Foreign actors continue an aggressive and pervasive influence campaign against the #UnitedStatesofAmerica"
Efforts like those id'd by @facebook "creating events on our streets w/real #Americans unknowingly participating" adds @SenatorBurr

Democrats are simply asking for action on the broad set of bipartisan priorities before the Congress:/1 #ABetterDeal #DemPartyPlatform #Democrats #DemForce #DemPriorities
Keep government open: While Republicans control the House and the Senate, and President Trump said earlier this year that ‘our country needs a good shutdown,’ Democrats want to keep government open./2
#ABetterDeal #DemPriorities #Democrats
Raise the caps: Democrats want a strong national defense. We also need an equal increase in our domestic budget, which includes critical national security functions and commitments to hard working families. #ABetterDeal #DemPriorities #DemsWork4USA
