Good morning. On the #ImpeachmentInquiry beat, WH acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney is called for private testimony but he is not expected to show.
@CourthouseNews
Mulvaney is a critical "get" for impeachment investigators because they want to know about his firsthand knowledge of the military aid delay and what he knew about diplomatic back channels flowing between OMB, State and WH (cc: @RudyGiuliani)
Notably is the testimony that emerged from deputy assistant secretary at State George Kent's hearing. Sondland appeared to play down the relationship/access with Mulvaney during his depo last month but Kent shared a different take.
Background from *that* presser with Mulvaney that was heard 'round the world: courthousenews.com/trump-to-host-…
Be sure to follow @CourthouseNews for updates on the #ImpeachmentInquiry today and ahead of public hearings scheduled for next week!
You can read the request for deposition from impeachment investigators to Mulvaney here:

Excerpt from lawmakers letter to Mulvaney: "nothing less than a televised confession" is an accurate way to describe that press conference.

NEW via NYT: Citing 4 sources familiar w/discussions, Trump is reportedly weighing whether he should fire IC Inspector General Mike Atkinson because he reported the WB complaint. nytimes.com/2019/11/12/us/…
If the reporting is indeed true, that means Trump has learned absolutely nothing about his experience with James Comey and genuinely believes the optics here reflect strength.
I realize the above statement is obvious. I rarely do this - make a really obvious statement on Twitter just to drive a point home- but I genuinely feel the need to underline how patently backwards the approach is here if what you're trying to do is ALLEVIATE suspicion.

This is littered w/falsehoods. The witnesses verified the accuracy of their transcripts, no one in minority disputed them. GOP had ample opportunity to dispute if they so chose, but did not. As for "only releasing" information: WH "only released" a *rough* transcript of the call.
WH has also blocked testimony, refused to relinquish documents and has pushed repeatedly for violation of whistleblower protections. None of what I am saying is politically charged. All of what I am saying is representative of factual reality.
As for "not having a lawyer," this is a statement out of context. The public hearings are not a trial, therefore no requirement for his attys to be invited. This period is investigation/evidence gathering period. When the hearings end in House Intel, it will go to House Judiciary

✳️Oh My!✳️

Rumor:

Kushner gave the green light to MBS to arrest Khashoggi, who was later murdered in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.

Turkish intel has an intercept of the call between Kushner & MbS & Erdogan used it to get Trump to roll over & pull US troops out of N Syria.
✳️ Oh My2✳️

The HIC know this whole tale and the identities of some of the people telling it.

Adam Schiff certainly seems to be smiling a lot these days.

Trump may have violated criminal provisions of the Hatch Act

Mueller Docs: Manafort Pushed Ukraine Hack Tale in 2016.
✳️ Oh My3✳️

Trump pushed UKR to open a probe into whether their country interfered in the 2016 election — an assertion made in an effort to discredit USIC & OSC’s findings.

Gates told the FBI that Flynn had been “adamant” the Russians were not responsible for the hacking. 🙄

Trump has more reason than ever for genuine alarm

The House Will Impeach Trump For Abuse Of Power

“The leader of the free world?

More like the caddy for the Bad Boys of Global Disorder.”

Erdogan rolled him twice in the past wk.

Putin has Trump’s ear/obedience.
🇷🇺Roulette2🇷🇺

As Trump careens from one series of foreign policy disasters looming impeachment investigations, & failed trade war blunders, @GOP are beginning to see the writing on the wall.

America isn’t doing a lot of winning, & not amount of Trump Tweets will change that.
🇷🇺Roulette3🇷🇺

“Trump is submerged in a sea of political troubles, all of his own making.

It becomes harder & harder to blame all of his troubles on PBO/Deep State or whatever conspiracy du jour is lighting up the FB groups where his supporters tell themselves pretty lies.”

Welcome to the Delayed Shadow Briefing brought to by @Delta whose new motto is the first 250 miles are easy, it's the last 15 yards to the gate that's a bitch and takes two hours. But enough about me, let's get t the news of the day. Much has been made of @realDonaldTrump
2. reaction to the now famous cough. Not since I "coughed" the first time for my pediatrician have I had such strong feelings about that simple act. The criticism of the President is entirely unfair and this is all on Acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney's fault.
3. Mick, I like to call him Mick, has been dining out on town for the last few moths about he runs the WH much better the Reince, I don't like calling him Reince, or General Kelly. He says the best strategy is to just let Trump be Trump. Let his true character play out.

"WH is firming up plans to redirect unspent federal dollars as a way of funding Trump's wall without taking the dramatic step of invoking a national emergency."

2-"After the pummeling he incurred during the 35-day shutdown—a self-inflicted punishment—Donald Trump was looking forward to his State of the Union address, seeing it as a presidential safe space where at least some of the attendees had to applaud for him. “He was in a great
