Anyone else tune in late this morning? Why are we having this hearing now?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

At this point? Maybe it's because I missed a couple hours this am..and haven't read the complaint yet?

The BIG news is this complaint right? It seems like we are diving into the hows and the processes behind it and not the content - which is what people want to know about.. We are inadvertently dilluting content. Just like FUBARR did with MR.

If it seems backwards to me..it might be for general public.

1. They're investigating the cover up,

which, conventional wisdom holds, is always worse than the crime.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

6. Totally agree important...but it makes no sense

To do it before the complaint is understood and digested by all. It is just confusing matters at this time. Just my POV, as a late tuner-in-er

[librechik]

2. None of these folks have seen the actual complaint yet, presumably. They are just

trying to figure out why Maguire fucked up, and oh, why the media never investigate the crimes of Hillary and Biden (the Repubs are there too, throwing as much confusion into the hearing as possible.)

[Me.]

3. The Complaint Was Released Last Night

[Laura PourMeADrink]

8. Guess it's one of those times a person should

have stayed up all night

[librechik]

10. they don't act like they've read the whole complaint.

Morning Joe folks were reading it as they received it this morning.

22. THe Staffs Had It Last Night

and worked on the questions

[StarfishSaver]

4. LOL

[Laura PourMeADrink]

14. Always noticed that trump accuses others of what

he does himself only with more vengeance. Now thinking it may be a real pathology. Might be able to find more of his crimes with that approach.

[eleny]

5. It sounds like the hearing's purpose is to expose Maguire's partisan decision to ignore "shall"

I wouldn't be surprised if he resigned by the weekend.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

11. Or he gets fired. It's like lessons learned usually

come after all is said and done.

[eleny]

13. yup

[dewsgirl]

7. I think the biggest news has been them trying to

Hide all of there shady sh!t on a private server.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. I am amazed he is actually allowing transcripts and

Records. Remember the transcriptionist who worked for a serious, orderly Obama WH? She was all over the news talking about the secrecy of Dip's WH.

[dewsgirl]

17. My mind has been completely blown over the last 48 hours

Or so. I don't understand how they can spin this to their benefit.

[DrToast]

9. This has been planned for days

Before they decided to release the complaint.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

12. Maybe should have rescheduled?

[Kingofalldems]

15. Or maybe not.

Don't understand your complaint.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. Just a cart before the horse deal. All important

but out of order. Much more public impact if we just let the news talk about the actual complaint all day. Let people hear and understand that first. Missed opportunity IMHO is all.

[herding cats]

19. Why?

The intelligence committee read the whistleblower report late yesterday afternoon.

They're exposing the coverup process and fully versed on the details of the WB's account. They can always call him back later if they want to, but they're doing an excellent job exposing his complacency in the coverup so far.

[ismnotwasm]

20. Wow.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

21. Care to elaborate?
