GOP Sen John Cornyn: “If the president picks a team that does **not** include [Republican] House members [Jordan, Ratcliffe, and Collins], we’d be more likely to have the dignified process that the Constitution calls for.” 😂
House GOP leaders are advocating for Trump’s most aggressive attack dogs, Reps Jordan, Ratcliffe, and Collins, to join Trump’s legal team in a Senate impeachment trial — an idea that piques Trump’s interest — over the objections of Senate Republicans.washingtonpost.com/politics/house…
“There are a lot of rabbits running around claiming to be the very best bunny, but the president hasn’t yet decided which set of fuzzy tails he’ll use,” said one official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Wut?

Esper and Pompeo are both liars. Just like Trump.

"When the US government has specific information about threats to embassies, warnings or alerts are sent to embassy personnel. The embassy in Baghdad did not receive an alert commensurate to the threat Trump described."

Trump offers up our US military as mercenaries for hire to the world's richest autocrats: “I said to Saudi Arabia...you're a very rich country. You want more troops? I'll send them to you, but you have to pay us. They've already deposited $1B 'in the bank.'”

Whose bank??
Recall, on Sep 20, after attacks on Saudi’s oil facilities, which the Trump admin and Saudi govt blamed on Iran, Trump approved the deployment of US forces to Saudi Arabia "in response to the Kingdom's request."

For more info, see this THREAD from Sep -->
Oct 16: Pelosi questioned Trump about sending troops to Saudi: "My question to him ... Why are our troops going to Saudi if you promised to bring them home?" Trump responded, the Saudis are "paying for it," and then had a meltdown. nbcnews.to/37Wzv5R

"The embassy in Baghdad did not receive an alert commensurate to the threat Trump described.

The State Department did not respond to questions about whether alerts were conveyed to the four embassies Trump claimed were in danger."

GOP Sen. John Kennedy cleans up his comments from “Fox News Sunday,” now says he misheard question about Russia hacking DNC. Tonight, Kennedy says to @ChrisCuomo: “It was Russia that tried to hack the DNC computers...I’ve seen no indication that Ukraine tried to do it.”
“This will be the first partisan impeachment in the history of the country,” Kennedy says, not mentioning Clinton
Kennedy does add: “There’s a lot of evidence Ukraine tried to meddle in the election in 2016,” something witness testimony refuted over the past 10 days

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

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
