Schiff is laying out an absolutely masterful opening statement.

The GOP members of the committee are already squirming.
By comparison, Nunes is replaying Sean Hannity’s greatest hits.
For those of you watching the testimony, THIS is why public hearings matter. Kent is laying out exactly why Trump’s Ukraine policy was such a disaster in a way that’s easy to understand even if you aren’t steeped in the nuances of the region.
Wow. Taylor just threw EVERYONE (read: Giuliani, Trump, Sondland, Perry) under the bus.
Taylor should never have to buy a beer again. His actions here were absolutely vital in keeping Ukraine from being extorted by Trump.

This letter is mostly a sniveling capitulation to Trump, but there are a couple things I’d like to address:
1. I can unequivocally state that this was *not* the NSC opinion on Ukraine
2. Johnson confirms Ukraine knew about the quid pro quo before initially reported

This is a really underrated point. Mulvaney could have easily just not testified — instead he sued POTUS.
For those who are confused:

If Mulvaney truly didn’t want to testify, all he had to do was refuse on orders from the President. Then the Dems would be forced to sue or hold him in contempt.

Instead, he joined an active lawsuit with Trump listed as a defendant. 1/2
If Mulvaney is actually trying to slow things down, he did this in exactly the wrong way, which wouldn’t be all that surprising, honestly.

The Judge in the case is reviewing his request in an expedited manner... on a holiday. 2/2

Normally, these kinds of things aren’t a big deal, as the read-outs are clearly labeled as “not verbatim,” but this one is:

The only mention of “company” in the transcript is Zelensky promising to look into the company that *Trump* mentioned.

Wonder why they wanted that gone.
For context:
Translation: Vindman wanted a written record of the investigation Trump was trying to push, and the White House denied it.

And we're off.

Note Schiff calls this the 7th hearing which leaves open possibility of more hearings.
It'd be awesome if Hill dropped the deets on Trump's contacts with Putin.

But she's too professional for that, sadly.
Bolton viewed Rudy as a "hand grenade," Schiff reminds.

Want to know the REAL reason for the ICE RAID on that particular food processing plant in Mississippi? And why it was carried out for maximum cruelty effect?

The plant owner was abusing the workers & not paying them. The workers sued & won.

The plant owner is a GOP donor.
More...
Allegations of labor abuses dogged Mississippi plant years before immigration raids, w/company threatening deportation for those who complained.

Workers sued & after 8-year court battle, company settled last year, agreeing to pay $3.75M, etc. /2

reuters.com/article/us-usa…
That Trump admin carried out raid w/NO repercussions for company hiring so many undocumented workers is telling.

The ICE RAID reeks of "payback" & serves as warning to other abused undocumented immigrants of what will happen if they speak up for their rights.

This the #GOP /3

<THREAD> As promised (threatened) earlier, I'll be breaking the self-imposed two-month silence of this account to live-tweet #Hannity, as soon as he/it starts.
2/ Here goes: #Hannity confirmed in his first sentence what I had anticipated, that the report "totally and completely exonerates the president."

Next, Hannity showed a brief cherry-picked sentence from the Mueller report, than began to show quotes from Giuliani and Dershowitz.
3/ Not unexpectedly, #Hannity quickly segued to bashing Hillary <yawn>, making points along the lines of Trump cooperated but Clinton didn't.

General Flynn is expected to be sentenced this week. Curious, I researched the sentence that George Popolopodus received for the same crime. FOURTEEN DAYS. are you kidding? I decided to research Mueller's Witch Hunt team. Here's what I found.

There was too much info to type for each, so I've put it into photos. Only one member of the five listed on this page wasn't compromised. The other four are all Democrats that have made political donations to a DNC Candidate (including Hillary and Obama)!

Coincidence? NOPE! I found the same on this page of six investigators. All but one are Democrats and have made donations to a Democratic candidate. Weissmann actually was at Hillary's HQ on election night! FYI... 14 Democrats & 3 independents. NO GOP MEMBERS AT ALL!

@SpeakerRyan to "retire" by the end of THIS term‼️

POLITICO interviewed 3 dozen people who know Ryan (lawmakers, aides, conservative "intellectuals" & #GOP lobbyists)👉🏼not a single person believed Ryan will stay in Congress past 2018.🤨 1/

politico.com/magazine/story…
The timing of Ryan's "retirement" is VERY curious.🤔

On Oct 29, @RepSwalwell re-posted the WaPo story about #GOP leadership admitting that Trump & Rohrabacher are on #Putin’s🇷🇺payroll, and Ryan made GOP swear omertà‼️ 2/

On May 18, I *predicted* that MULTIPLE #GOP members would be leaving Congress unexpectedly.🤓 3/
