Ambassador Volker now says asking the Ukrainians to investigate VP Biden would have been unacceptable, and that he didn't realize that was going on because he thought the plan was to ask them to investigate Burisma.

😏
"I didn't know my associates were criming" is a common defense to conspiracy.
It's also, uh, the mob defense.

"I didn't know my guys were gonna knee-cap him. That's not my thing. I was taking my ma to weekday mass. I would never ask anybody to cap no knees."

Supreme Court of California finds the state law (directed at Trump) requiring candidates to disclose their tax returns to appear on the ballot is unconstitutional under the state constitution. courts.ca.gov/opinions/docum…
Bottom line:
Indeed, that would probably be the obvious next step. California, nearly unique among states, allows voters to modify their constitution by popular vote.

It's one of the reasons California's constitution is so dang long.

In the face of NSC staffer's under-oath statements that this anonymously-sourced article is incorrect about a Ukrainian plot to influence 2016, GOP response is that the author stands by it.

Guys, I have no doubt that Vogel was told these things. The NSC says they're not true.
Based on testimony of the NSC witnesses, what happened here is apparently Vogel's source (Lutsenko?) spun him a yarn, and he printed it. That's reporting.

Pretending that an anonymous and unverifiable article is true in the face of contrary testimony from our own IC is silly.
And that's where we are right now. The GOP would prefer to accept the anonymous word of unknown Ukrainians over the assessment of the U.S. intelligence community bc that's the only story that protects Donald Trump.

Much patriotic.

Secret Santa is stupid, and who needs one more thing to worry about.

It doesn't need to be a federal case though. Just the Youths replacing the Olds should take care of the problem.
I absolutely adore the Boomers tonight acting like adding one more obligation at work isn't anything to worry about.

Like, have you been to work?
Oh, I get it. Maybe work was easier for you.

Oooooooh.

So, I ran across a retweet of the below tweet and it immediately raised flags. Puffing up a witness has a reason, so decided to go look for the documentation behind it, since it had a direct quote. Didn't take long - few minutes and NPR coughed it up (will link at the end)./1
About puffing someone up - the reason is to try to give the person credibility, their views more weight than they should be given, and to set them above someone they are in disagreement with. In this case, also to elicit support due to his medal./2
In the case of the tweet, it is immediately followed by the statement "speaking out against the command-in-chief." (you're suppose to gasp here I think)

Then "the reason" is given - people kept telling him he needed to speak up (be sure to ignore other possible reasons)./3

NEW: Amb. Sondland will tell Congress on Thursday that Rudy Giuliani told him Pres. Trump wanted Ukraine’s new government to investigate the 2016 election and a natural gas firm tied to Hunter Biden, according to prepared testimony obtained by NBC News. nbcnews.to/35GwCWD
"I did not understand, until much later, that Mr. Giuliani’s agenda might have also included an effort to prompt the Ukrainians to investigate VP Biden or his son or to involve Ukrainians, directly or indirectly, in the president’s 2020 re-election campaign," Sondland writes.
WATCH: @GeoffRBennett reminds a man how the free press works after the man puts his hands on him while he tries to question Amb. Sondland ahead of Sondland's testimony before Congress this morning. nbcnews.to/2OX9LjA

The Ukraine Whistleblower Hoax was never about Trump.

This was a coordinated effort by the cabal; littered with career politicians, unelected bureaucrats , and seditious individuals.

It was designed to accomplish three primary objectives ...

@DrDannielle @Chris11962
...1. Discredit Attorney General William Barr because he is wrapping up the investigation into the origins of the Mueller special counsel regarding flagrant abuse by the Intelligence Community...
...They are very worried about their participation and abuse undertaken to undermine the will of the people and remove a duly elected President...

😨Ex CIA Bob Baer suggests the “urgent credible threat” in the whistleblower complaint (that DNI won’t give Congress) ”usually” has something to do w/ someone in White House setting up an illegal backchannel to a foreign govt, or some sort of corruption, discovered by CIA or NSA.
🚨>> Whistleblower complaint involves TRUMP’S communications with a foreign leader that included a “promise” regarded so troubling it prompted an official in the US intelligence community to file a formal whistleblower complaint with the inspector general. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
In the weeks before the “urgent & credible” whistleblower complaint about Trump’s “promise” to a foreign leader, he had interactions with:
1) Russia’s Putin that WH initiated
2) 2 “beautiful” letters from North Korea’s Kim Jong Un
3) Pakistan’s PM
4) Netherlands’ PM
5) Qatar emir

New evidence suggests #Ukraine played a key role in creating Trump-#RussianCollusion narrative at the behest of @BarackObama officials
theepochtimes.com/joe-biden-obam…
As #Ukraine underwent dramatic changes in 2014, then-VP @JoeBiden played a critical role in the @BarackObama admin’s involvement in the revolution that ousted #Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych.

Following the revolution, Biden would use his influence to help force the…
… creation of the troubled National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU). Notably, during the 2016 elections information leaked from NABU on Trump’s campaign manager #PaulManafort that helped to create the false #RussianCollusion narrative.
