NEW: Democrats spent Thursday trying to suffocate the Trump defense before it starts.

Analysis w/ @AndrewDesiderio

politico.com/news/2020/01/2…
@AndrewDesiderio House impeachment prosecutors picked apart anticipated Trump team efforts to justify Trump's request ot investigate Biden and the debunked CrowdStrike conspiracy theory.

politico.com/news/2020/01/2…
@AndrewDesiderio They also pre-butted claims that impeachment requires a statutory crime — and they used Trump allies' own words to do it, teeing up video clips of Lindsey Graham and Alan Dershowitz, among others.

This seemed like an important moment: Schiff rebutted it moments later saying the WH can call any witness it wants to fill in that blank.
Here's where Dems think the White House lawyers messed up:

Philbin said he couldn't answer Collins/Murkowski's question about whether Trump had raised Biden/Burisma before Biden was a candidate. It wasn't in the House record, he said. (1/2)
BUT... Minutes earlier, his co-counsel introduced this 1/27/2020 Daily Beast article into the record that was not part of the House's evidence.

Michael Purpura cited it as evidence Ukrain didn't know about aid freeze before Aug. 29 POLITICO article.

BREAKING: Rep. ENGEL reveals that BOLTON called him in September and told him to look into the Marie Yovanovitch ouster.

The committees had already started an investigation into Ukraine matters, but Bolton appears to have supported their effort. >>>
FIRST QUESTION: From Collins/Murkowski/Romney wondering what to do if Trump sought a personal benefit but *also* had an anti-corruption motive in asking Ukraine to investigate Biden.

Trump's attorneys say House case requires that personal benefit is *only* motive.
SCHIFF makes clear that he's going to use his answers today to hammer on Republicans to call Bolton if they havce any doubt about the case.

"Don't wait for the book," he implores them.

HMMM: Department of Energy released part of a single document tonight in response to American Overisght's request for some key Ukraine info from May 10-May 24, 2019 (Zelensky's inauguration timeframe).
americanoversight.org/document/doe-r…
BUT ... The search actually turned up 5 relevant documents.

But DOE sent four of them to the State Department.

The request included a lot of Biden/Burisma/Giuliani related keywords + communications from Perry and his then-chief of staff Brian McCormack on the subjects.
Here's what DOE's response indicated:

NEW: It was the unexpected moments that carried Dems through an impeachment process fraught with political landmines. They got boosts from moments they couldn’t have foreseen at the outset. But GOP resistance holds, even as they acknowledge the inevitable. politico.com/news/2019/11/2…
The impeachment hearings were carefully choreographed as an effort to put hundreds of pages of closed-door testimony on TV. But by the end, it was clear that the unforeseen moments were poised to have the biggest impact. News analysis w/ @kyledcheney
politico.com/news/2019/11/2…
One unsurprising outcome of the public hearings, though: Entrenchment. Republicans and Democrats have the same set of facts in front of them — yet the two sides have come to diametrically opposite conclusions. politico.com/news/2019/11/2…
