(1/5) My 4th #impeachment question w @LindseyGrahamSC & @JohnCornyn: “When DOJ IG Horowitz testified before the Judiciary Committee, he said their DOJ had a ‘low threshold’ to investigate the Trump campaign. ...
(2/5) At the hearing @SenFeinstein said, ‘Your report concluded that the FBI had an adequate predicate reason to open the investigation on the Trump campaign ties to Russia. Could you define the predicate?’ Horowitz replied, ‘Yeah. So the predicate here was the info that ...
(3/5) ... the FBI got at the end of July from the friendly foreign government.’

(2/4) … There are 7 billion people on planet Earth, almost all had no involvement in Biden's quid pro quo. Are the House Managers unwilling to say whether the so-called ‘whistleblower’ was a fact witness ...
(3/4) … who directly participated in and could face criminal or civil liability for Joe Biden's demanding Ukraine fire the prosecutor who was investigating Burisma? And why did you refuse to transmit to the Senate the Inspector General transcript?"
