Joseph Maguire is done...stick a fork in him...

[cynatnite]

This second line of questioning by Schiff did it, IMO.

1. There's no executive privilege to break the law.

Done.

2. I hope other agency heads notice that this is a director who bypassed norms and the law-

to please Trump... and here's what happens. You go up before Congress and look like a fool who has been fooled.

Your career and reputation are ruined-- not by the questioning, but by trying to finagle for the sake of a criminal administration with no loyalty to the public servants.

3. He is actually lending weight to the Complaint.

I think Maguire's answers to Schiff's tough questions show how seriously this Complaint was taken -- and Maguire has backed-up the IG's determination.

Those of us who want Trump removed from office, I think, should be very pleased with Maguire's testimony and demeanor thus far.

4. Eric Swalwell nailed it.

The complaint, which the ICIG said was credible and serious, says that the White House lawyers moved the Ukrainian phone call (and other calls to foreign leaders) to a server within the IC to hide it. The first thing Maguire did was to take the complaint, which he called an allegation, to those very same lawyers in the White House instead of taking it directly to Congress. Looks like a tip-off to me.
