NEW: It was the unexpected moments that carried Dems through an impeachment process fraught with political landmines. They got boosts from moments they couldn’t have foreseen at the outset. But GOP resistance holds, even as they acknowledge the inevitable. politico.com/news/2019/11/2…
The impeachment hearings were carefully choreographed as an effort to put hundreds of pages of closed-door testimony on TV. But by the end, it was clear that the unforeseen moments were poised to have the biggest impact. News analysis w/ @kyledcheney
politico.com/news/2019/11/2…
One unsurprising outcome of the public hearings, though: Entrenchment. Republicans and Democrats have the same set of facts in front of them — yet the two sides have come to diametrically opposite conclusions. politico.com/news/2019/11/2…

In her opening statement, Fiona Hill goes after Republican lawmakers for pushing allegations of Ukrainian interference in the 2016 election.
Fiona Hill adds: “In the course of this investigation, I would ask that you please not promote politically driven falsehoods that so clearly advance Russian interests.”

Sondland says the White House has confirmed to him the record of his July 26 call with Trump. Trump denied that the call ever happened.
Sondland: “The July 26 call did not strike me as significant at the time. Actually, I would have been more surprised if President Trump had not mentioned investigations, particularly given what we were hearing from Mr. Giuliani about the president’s concerns.”
But, Sondland adds: “I have no recollection of discussing Vice President Biden or his son on that call or after the call ended.”

This chyron went up on Fox News at 10:11 ET, but Ed Henry et all aren't talking about their former colleague reportedly in talks to participate in the impeachment inquiry, they are just ranting about the supposed lack of transparency in the House impeachment process.
They just went to commercial without mentioning it. Amazing.
A glancing mention earlier this hour by Chris Wallace is Fox News' only acknowledgement today that their former colleague John Bolton might testify before the impeachment inquiry.

Today, we opened a new learning space at the Lagos Model School, Marwa to create a better environment where learning is supported by multimedia resources and made more engaging for the children
When we saw this empty and abandoned space, we saw possibilities; we saw what can be transformed into a functional space for reading and digital skills training. #Before
We have also renovated two classrooms and provided chairs and tables to support the school to accommodate some of the children enrolled in school last month.

The president's decision on #Syria based on the empty #EndlessWar rhetoric paved the way for #Erdogan & #Turkey's invasion and will be strategically disastrous for American interests for years to come as I explain👇
We chose the #Kurds as our proxy precisely because we didn't want to fight #EndlessWars - they did the heavy lifting for us. The president could have explained how he accomplished all this with his "infinite wisdom" while other presidents did not, as I explain here 👇
One outcome, among the many bad outcomes in #Syria will likely be the resurgence of #ISIS, which makes this an even worse decision than the premature withdrawal from #Iraq by Obama and #Biden. There's no excuse here. We've seen this happen before, as I explain 👇

D's in Congress have eagerly anticipated Obama appointee, Georgetown U alum's second IG report complaining that President Trump’s appointees believe there exists a #DeepState among the unelected career staffers that is determined to thwart the president’s agenda. #CoupCabal
2. State Department IG holdover's "urgent" briefing on the Hill is currently said to be devised to set new alarm narrative of "retaliation" against #DeepState Department D's. Cong Staffers are starting to exit the "classified briefing" w #Linick IG. #Anon
3. @AdamSchiff @RepCummings are trying to bully & intimidate @StateDept workers contacting them directly & telling them to not have lawyers (right out of McCabe handbook). @SecPompeo also confirms phone call. The D's are unhinged. #DeepState #PresidentialHarassment. #Linick #Q

So to recap: the only reason Donald Trump has not been charged with a crime is they he is the sitting President. Here it is clear as day. Donald Trump must be impeached so that he can be held accountable for his crimes. #MuellerHearing #impeachment
Rep. Lieu: "The reason again that you did not indict Donald Trump is because of the OLC opinion stating that you cannot indict a sitting President, correct?"

Mueller: "That is correct."

#MuellerHearing
Congressman: "Could you charge the President with a crime after he left office?"

Mueller: "Yes."
