On Friday, @RepTedLieu called David Holmes' closed-door testimony "damning."

The House Intelligence Committee just released all 213 pages of it, detailing the Sondland-Trump phone call.

Previously, @CourthouseNews: courthousenews.com/testimony-of-t…

Doc: intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…
@RepTedLieu @CourthouseNews "In particular, I asked Ambassador Sondland if it was true that the President did not give a shit about Ukraine. Ambassador Sondland agreed that the President did not give a shit about Ukraine."
@RepTedLieu @CourthouseNews Question from Democrats' attorney: So whose political agenda was Rudy Giuliani promoting in Ukraine?

A: I came to believe it was the President's political agenda.
After that passage, Holmes is asked about Putin's press conference with Hungary's Viktor Orbán in 2017, where Putin promoted the theory of Ukrainian meddling in U.S. elections.

Holmes describes it as Russian info to turn Ukraine to its sphere of influence.

Chairman Schiff: "Let me get to the top line here, Ambassador Sondland."

That's the White House meeting being a quid pro quo in exchange for investigations.

"Correct," Sondland said.

Q: And everybody knew it.
A: Correct.
Schiff goes through the statutory language, reciting the elements of bribery: an "official act" in return for a "thing of value."

This for that.
Devastating testimony by Ambassador Sondland:

"[Ukrainian President Zelensky] had to announce the investigations. He didn't actually have to do them."

Trump insists he requested these investigations because of his concerns about corruption in Ukraine, not for political gain.

Some five days after Trump's call with Ukrainian President Zelensky, the president spoke to Putin.

Speaking to me on a brisk interview across elevators, escalators and the Capitol subway, Senator @TimKaine raised questions about that call. courthousenews.com/tim-kaine-has-…
@timkaine In the story, Rep. Ted Lieu said of Lt. Col. Vindman's testimony this morning: "They’re freaked out a decorated, military combat veteran is telling the truth to the American people."

How I know that I’m back in New York:

The MTA is still rotten and dysfunctional. Back to Washington as the week begins.
It’s a beautiful city all the same.
Update: After a half hour wait in the 42-degree and windy open air, a train whizzed by and did not stop at the station.

Impeachment Collusion & MAGA Counterattack

1) Much is happening now that confirms to me that President Trump, his administration, and Congressional Republicans are FINALLY taking action against the Democrats, Media, and Deep
2) ... State. “Coup” is now a term used daily with respect to George Soros, world governments, Democrats, Intelligence Community, federal employees et al in partnership with the Media. One must be sleeping or heavily brain washed to continue to ignore the open signs of treason
3) ... in the United States of America.

Everything is moving based on the phone call between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. During the phone call, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asked for help from Rudy Giuliani by name. Since that

Rep. Devin Nunes said "old, pervy" Democrats asked Hope Hicks about her love life during a closed-door deposition on Wednesday.

The House Judiciary Committee has released a transcript of a closed-door interview with former Trump aide Hope Hicks.

Pg 25 of Hicks testimony: I note that I recused myself frm certain things having to do w/ specific areas, but our President of the United States is being treated very unfairly. He shouldn't have a special prosecutor/counsel bc he hasn't done anything wrong

That's funny, because Mueller already debunked that, Michael Cohen didn't testify to that in front of congress, and he is a liar.

But other than that, great scoop WAPO
Also, I'm not sure if the media knows this or not, but Donald Trump is a businessman real estate tycoon and has buildings all over the world that he legally owns, and could have one in Russia if he wanted.

No part of any of this is relevant to anything at all.
“We’re trying to find out whether anyone participated in the false testimony that Cohen gave to this committee,” House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) said in an interview."

Ah now it makes sense......
