NEW: Iranian forces attacked Iraqi military bases housing U.S. troops, a significant escalation that puts Washington & Tehran well along the path to an all-out war after years of rising tensions.

Story w/ @nahaltoosi & the view from the Capitol tonight:

politico.com/news/2020/01/0…
“I fear we’re far from the end of it,” Rep. Tom @Malinowski (D-N.J.), a former senior State official, told me.

@Liz_Cheney to @MZanona: “[Trump] has been very clear that an attack on our bases will be taken seriously. And there ought to be a retaliation.”
politico.com/news/2020/01/0…
More from @Malinowski: “We have to be able to defend ourselves and to deter further attacks. But at the same time, it’s fair to ask, even more so today, whether an apparently impulsive decision that the president took made us more or less safe.”

NEW: Parnas and Ukraine aid bombshells jolt impeachment trial

w/ @kyledcheney @burgessev

politico.com/news/2020/01/1…
@kyledcheney @burgessev House managers were relatively subdued on the Parnas revelations, cautioning that he shouldn’t be presumed to be trustworthy.

“I don’t know how it changes the case because we certainly start with someone who has had his issues,” @RepValDemings said.

politico.com/news/2020/01/1…
@kyledcheney @burgessev @RepValDemings Senate Republicans are dismissing the new developments out of hand.

“They were in such a hurry that they didn’t get all this information? What the heck, OK?” said Sen. Joni Ernst.

Sen. Graham on Parnas: “I wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him.”

BREAKING: Gov’t Accountability Office has concluded that the White House budget office violated the Impoundment Control Act by freezing U.S. military aid to Ukraine.

From GAO’s 8-page report: “Faithful execution of the law does not permit the president to substitute his own policy priorities for those that Congress has enacted into law.”
GAO also says its investigation was hampered:

“OMB and State have failed, as of yet, to provide the information we need to fulfill our duties under the ICA regarding potential impoundments of FMF funds.”

1)
 The regime in Iran, humiliated after Soleimani’s death, launched missiles on Iraqi military bases housing U.S. troops in a desperate attempt to save face.

All the while, Tehran knows provoking Trump is dangerous.

This is Khamenei’s status quo.
2)
 Iran’s military brass is weeping after the loss of Soleimani.

Me:
Good.
3)
 Iran vowed a response to Soliemani’s death.

IRGC launched missiles targeting Iraqi military sites home to U.S. forces.

U.S. military officials reported no casualties & Trump, after being briefed, tweeted “all is well!”

There are even reports Iran mistarteged intentionally.
