I am just going to do a thread here of shocking revelations that Democrats have ignored because they thought it would be more convincing to talk about a single phone call with President Zelenskyy over and over and over.
Trump told the Russian delegation to the Oval Office that he was fine with Russian election interference. We've learned nothing more. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
Some of Trump’s inappropriately hidden phone calls were with Saudi Arabia and Russia. We’ve learned nothing more. cnn.com/2019/09/27/pol…
Pence knew about the Ukraine scheme. Important because Democrats would be voting to make him president. pbs.org/newshour/polit…
Pompeo knew about the Ukraine scheme. Mostly left alone, even though Pompeo has a good shot of becoming a US senator in 2020. nytimes.com/2019/11/23/us/…
Nunes may have actively taken part in the Ukraine scheme, and thereafter was deeply involved in the investigation of that scheme. Not clear there will be any consequences at all. cnn.com/2019/11/22/pol…
The White House staff have been faking readouts of Trump's phone calls with foreign leaders, meaning we have no idea what he said to them. No followup that I'm aware of. washingtonpost.com/politics/rough…
Trump appears to have been attempting to obtain dirt on Biden from China. Of no apparent interest to House investigators. washingtonpost.com/business/econo…
Giuliani has been lobbying for Erdogan, arguing for the same Gulen extradition that Flynn previously had. No investigation into Trump's ties with Turkey. washingtonpost.com/politics/giuli…
From just today, Turkey successfully pressured Trump to review sanctions into a Turkish bank. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Barr has not recused from any element of the Ukraine scandal, despite being implicated in the initial complaint. No followup. reuters.com/article/us-usa…
Trump has mysteriously withheld aid to Lebanon for a month, the same as happened with Ukraine. No one knows why. reuters.com/article/us-usa…
Ukrainian fixers Parnas and Fruman have been bouncing around Republican circles for ages, giving max donations to Kevin McCarthy, meeting a half-dozen times with Ron DeSantis, and roping Pete Sessions into their plot. Their full role is still unclear. floridapolitics.com/archives/31136…
And of course, there is the never-ending, spiraling saga of Rudy Giuliani, who seems to be the keystone for so much of this, has no privilege claim, but has not been called as a witness or interviewed. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
Roger Stone's trial showed that Trump knew about the upcoming dump of hacked documents in spring 2016, long before anyone had previously claimed. Democrats have ignored this, too. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
There was the entire G-7 saga: first, Trump's decision to host at his golf club, and then later, the revelation that the golf club was added to the list at the last minute, through irregular channels. washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
And this all stuff that has emerged SINCE impeachment was announced on Sept. 25. Other questions predate that, and have been let fall by the wayside: where are the tax returns? What happened into the CI investigation into Trump? What is his relationship with Turkey, Saudi Arabia?
We are marching deeper and deeper into a dark tunnel every day. Democrats supposed that a narrow investigation would play best politically. True or not, I don't think any public interest is served by allowing this miasma of confusion and corruption to grow without end.
