What Volker cannot explain is why in *hell* it would make sense for Trump to be obsessed with the investigation of *one* Ukrainian company (and no others!) when that company just *happened* to be the only one with the son of Trump's top political rival on its board

A flimsy tale
1/ Volker can say that Burisma was *theoretically* distinguishable from Hunter Biden, but why did he imagine the two were *actually* distinguishable when Trump *only* was pushing for or cared about an investigation of this *one* company? That testimony is insane, frankly. Absurd.
2/ One cannot help but feel like the Republicans love these two witnesses precisely *because* they're not being fully transparent, accurate, or perhaps even honest... rather, telling the tall tale the GOP prefers (even though it's still highly, *highly* inculpatory as to Trump!)

Democrats have been so unnecessarily on defense at various points in the impeachment proceeding that they've failed to note that what the parade of witnesses over the last 10 days has established is that Trump sought to *collude with Ukraine* to rig the 2020 presidential election
1/ Indeed, one way of looking at all this is that the Mueller Report established that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia in 2016, but also made it *impossible* for Trump to go to that well again, forcing him and his agents to seek out corrupt Ukrainians for the same purpose
2/ In this view, one reason the GOP keeps hyping the baseless conspiracy theory that Democrats colluded with Ukraine is to ensure no one notices that we now have a huge stock of sworn evidence confirming GOP officials and agents of these persons colluded with Ukrainian officials

🤦‍♂️ Joe mispronounced "Uyghurs" and now it's a meme
(WEE-guhrs, if I understand correctly. Someone can tell me if I'm wrong.)
PS/ I *agree* Joe should get major credit for mentioning the Uyghurs' plight.

Trump is confused.

You don't, in our criminal justice system, get to pick *a few sentences* from hours of testimony and say, "See! He told the truth. He's a truth-teller."

No.

If Trump is saying Sondland testified honestly, he must accept *all* of Sondland's damning testimony.
PS/ Moreover, you can't quote things you *yourself* allegedly said... *after you were caught*... as exculpatory, and that's exactly what Trump was doing in his comments today on Sondland's testimony.

It's a non-starter, and media really needs to make that clear to all Americans.
PS2/ By mid-August—let's be clear—most of the key collaborators in this bribery scheme knew they'd been caught due to the whistleblower's complaint coming quickly (and improperly) to the White House. So *any statement* by Trump from *August 15 on* is self-serving and unreliable.

The dirty war against #Trump continues. But the president is blessed by the rabid enemies he keeps. The frothing at the mouth Swamp scum sitting hypocritically in judgement of him have yet to lay a glove on #POTUS45.
His enemies still don't get it. No one with two brain cells to rub together thought that, in voting for #Trump, they were electing the Pope. Voters wanted a force for disruption.
They wanted someone who would not only threaten the business-as-usual corruption in DC that lavishly enriched the insiders, while royally screwing the 'peasants' outside the beltway bubble in the bargain; they wanted a mortal enemy of it. #Trump

Why aren't Americans taking about the foreign influence in the US government that continues to send our men and woman to fight immoral wars?

#Trump when he campaigned for president, before he decided to let Adelson fund his campain!

Adelson was one of the biggest donors to Trumps presidential campain. Adelsons company saved 670 million dollars from the massive republican tax break. Adelson did not support the Iran deal & wanted the US embassy moved to Jerusalem.

Adelson has a direct line to #potus!

Adelson has private in-person meetings & phone conversations about once a month with #Trump!

Adelson used his access to move the embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and cut aid to Palestinians.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
