Also excluded from the list: Alexandra Chalupa, the Democratic operative who fielded Manafort dirt form Ukraine in 2016.

TRUMP says he'll testify in writing to Congress about the Ukraine situation >>>
Written responses to Congress carry the same legal weight as oral testimony: providing knowingly false information that impairs the investigation would constitute a crime.
FWIW: The House Intelligence Committee is declining to comment on Trump's consideration of written answers.

Trump continues to be alone in attacking the career foreign service officers — this one detailed to VP Pence — and hoping it somehow accrues to his benefit. No Rs backed up his attack on Yovanovitch.

On Trump’s isolation:

politico.com/news/2019/11/1…
And it was his stack on Yovanovitch in the July 25 call that inspired many of these current witnesses to speak out. Fiona Hill called it a “turning point.” politico.com/news/2019/11/1…
Also, FWIW, Jennifer Williams was on the July 25 call.

MORRISON says he didn't believe there was any sort of quid pro quo for military aide UNTIL he talked to Sondland on Sept. 1.

But even then he said he hoped it was just Sondland's idea, not anyone else's.
MORRISON says Sondland told him on Sept. 1 that he informed Ukrainians that they'd have better luck releasing the military aid if they opened the investigation inro Burisma (code for Biden).
NEW: MORRISON told investigators that Sondland claime dto be acting on Trump's orders when handling Ukraine.

And every time Morrison checked out whether Sondland had actually had a call with Trump as he claimed, it was true.

@NPR Mad🐮Nunes out the gate calls impeachment inquiry "lawless."

Trump's desperate GOP propagandists shamelessly massacre language and logic. Read this childish drivel Devin Nunes made part of the historic public record during #Taylor testimony.

So I watched all of Devin Nunes' Fox News appearances this week, which all centered around impeachment. Thread on things that piqued my interest, and story from that here: fresnobee.com/news/local/art…
For those who don't know, he only talks to conservative media these days. And even on Fox News, he mostly limits his appearances to commentator shows like Hannity, Carlson and Ingraham, where his ideas get no pushback.
Here's one on Hannity on Sept. 26, where he tells viewers that of course Trump would want to find answers on the "Russia hoax" from Ukraine. Doesn't talk about Trump asking for an investigation into Biden, which is the crux of Democrats' issue.

A note on #impeachment -

In a court of law, under non-presidential circumstances, impeachment is a tool litigation attorneys use to discredit the opposing side's witnesses at trial. When said witness takes the stand under oath attys. present evidence contrary to what the witness
claims. This weakens the other side's case by discrediting impeached witnesses's testimony. Once a witness has been impeached - by presentment of inconsistent testimony - the judge/jury can no longer use the impeached witnesses's testimony in reaching a verdict.
Simply put, they aren't trustworthy. In the case of Presidential impeachment that broad definition of impeachment applies, but the impeachment tool is used for a very different purpose. Under the Constitution, a sitting President cannot be tried in a court of law for anything.
