Brace yourselves: Committees about to release Vindman and Fiona Hill transcripts
Enjoy: docs.house.gov/meetings/IG/IG… docs.house.gov/meetings/IG/IG…
Vindman ties quid pro quo directly to Mulvaney. He says before July phone call that Sondland said “this had been coordinated with the White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney.” And “this” means conditioning a WH meeting that Ukraine sought on probes into Biden and 2016 elections
Sondland told the Ukrainians in July that they “would have to deliver an investigation into the Bidens,” Vindman said, adding “there was no ambiguity” in what Sondland was asking for in exchange for a WH meeting
Vindman also drafted talking points for Trump’s July call with Zelensky. Q: Did you include anything in your talking points about investigations into the 2016 election, the Bidens or Bunisma?

Vindman: Definitely not

New - Schiff makes clear to Nunes that whistleblower will NOT be testifying, saying the inquiry has gathered evidence “that not only confirms but far exceeds” the complaint. “The whistleblower’s testimony is therefore redundant and unnecessary,” per letter obtained by CNN.
“In light of the President’s threats, the individual’s appearance before us would only place their personal safety at grave risk,” Schiff says, adding he will consider Nunes’ proposed witnesses but won’t serve “as vehicles” for “sham investigations,” including into the Bidens
The comments mark a shift since the beginning of impeachment inquiry in September when whistleblower’s testimony was viewed as paramount. The committee had engaged in a round of private talks to protect the whistleblower in order to secure the testimony cnn.com/2019/11/09/pol…

Key excerpts from Sondland testimony in which he says “it’s fair” to say and “that was my understanding” that getting a meeting between Zelensky and Ukraine was tied to investigations into the 2016 election and Burisma, the company that Hunter Biden served on the board of
A meeting between Zelensky and Trump, that is. Also, Sondland said Trump’s constant refrain was: “Talk to Rudy, talk to Rudy.” He also said Pompeo “rolled his eyes” when talking about Rudy, saying, “It’s something we have to deal with.”
Sondland says that the push for investigations kept getting “more insidious” as time went on because, he claimed, back in July it was just about “corruption.” Later, he claimed he learned it was about Biden-Burisma-2016 elections

WBC corroborated

Sen. Whitehouse: “A senior official from a friendly government told me that Trump has handed the Mideast over to Putin, and that it will be decades to repair the damage done to American interests.“

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.”

Worst. Gaslighting. Ever.
#MULVANEY: That’s what people are saying I said but I didn’t say it.
(🦊 rolls tape)
WALLACE: Anyone listening to you in that briefing could come to only one conclusion—there was a quid pro quo. YOU TOTALLY SAID THAT. #UkraineGate
🤥Sunday Mulvaney: 2 reasons aid to Ukraine was held: 1/ corruption, 2/ other aid. Trump mentioned DNC server—in passing & not connected to aid.
😤Thurs Get-over-it Mulvaney: 3 reasons: those 2 + investigation of Dems.

He said something else interesting about the Zelensky call…
Mulvaney tried gaslighting away #3 reason—server investigation/quid pro quo—for blocking aid.
He added: Once we were satisfied Ukraine was doing better w corruption—we got that info from conversation w/ Zelensky—money flowed.
🧐Corruption was never mentioned in transcript—#3 was.

A bunch of fired, bitter, losers mad that Giuliani was investigating Biden's corruption. A bunch of leaks to the New York Times. A fake hoax and a witch hunt. Everyone acting like it's illegal to investigate corruption lol. This Ukraine garbage is so boring.
The first sentence in the article is literally a lie, and it doesn't matter how many times it's repeated it will never be true. Asking Ukraine to investigate corruption isn't "pressuring Ukraine for political help" and no one is buying this bs.
And would you look at that, the sources can't even agree on whether or not Bolton was mad at Sondland too, but the New York Times is attacking him just like WAPO attacked him on Saturday. They're clearly trying to make him sound like a bad guy before he testifies, I wonder why.
