Trump gives a promotion to the Mulvaney aide who has blown off the impeachment inquiry.
This also comes just days after SCHUMER asked for Blair to be included as a witness in the Senate trial.
NEW: Days after Democrats asked for Robert BLAIR to be a witness in Trump’s impeachment trial, Trump gives him a promotion to oversee an international 5G effort.

Blair, a top Mulvaney aide, blew off a House subpoena to testify last month. politico.com/news/2019/12/2…

NEW: If Trump’s impeachment trial is modeled after Clinton’s, here’s how it will work.

A deep dive on the framework of a trial that could give Dems an unfettered platform to assail Trump’s conduct — but also give Rs several off-ramps.

w/ @AndrewDesiderio politico.com/news/2020/01/1…
THE OATH: In 1999, senators didn’t swear to be impartial just once. After taking the oath collectively, they were called on to swear individually by the chief justice and then sign an “oath book.”
DISMISSAL: If Trump wants his case dismissed quickly, the option will have to be included in the package of rules governing the trial — which will be adopted in the first day or two of proceedings. Clinton’s trial made it in order after opening arguments.

MCCONNELL backs resolution to change Senate rules to dismiss impeachment articles if they don't arrive from the House within 25 days of passage -- or Jan. 12 in this case.

BREAKING: Speaner Nancy Pelosi says "we are ready" to send articles of impeahcment but reiterates she needs to see the rules of engagement before she can name impeachment managers, which kickstarts the trial.
Dems described two competing reasons to withhold articles:

-Senate process must be fair
-House needs to know the technical details of the process before it can name managers

House leaders initially leaned on the first but lately are leaning far more into the second reason.
Worth noting that House and Senate during Clinton impeahcment process were both Republican, so leaders had incentive to coordinate strategy and trial process.

This is the first time in history impeachment has happened in a split Congress.

Panic in Russian is “panika” (паника) –

“White House’s classification of records about Trump’s communications with foreign officials is now a central part of the impeachment inquiry launched this week by House Democrats.”

Panic in Arabic is “hale” ( هلع ) –

Crown Prince Mohammed ‘Bone Saws’ Salman “bragged that Jared Kushner gave him CIA intelligence about other Saudis saying 'here are your enemies' days before 'corruption crackdown' which led to torture and death”

New York Times report from May on Biden, Ukraine and Burisma Holdings:

"No evidence has surfaced that the former vice president intentionally tried to help his son by pressing for the prosecutor general’s dismissal.”

nytimes.com/2019/05/01/us/…
NYT - Hunter Biden was warned by associates who had experience in Ukraine to stay away from Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma Holdings, who had worked in the government of former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych.

nytimes.com/2019/05/01/us/…
Zlochevsky faced multiple internal/external investigations for money laundering, Yanukovych-era corruption, tax evasion and the granting of gas licenses.

It is unclear if/how seriously Ukraine’s fmr. prosecutor general Viktor Shokin investigated Burisma.
