Trump and this Senate are prime examples of the typical political perversion in the open (they often hide). What good have they ever produced? NOT one great program for the average American has been put forth by the R's ever. NOT ONE! But crimes a plenty in the name of retaining power and keeping the billionaires happy.
Nixon's-Watergate
Reagan-Iran-Contra, Savings & Loan Scandal, Death Squads
Bush II-Illegal and fraudulent Iraq War, Torture, Plame Affair...these are not conspiracy things these are legally determined and often punished and unpunished crimes.

Republicans like to play bullshit mind tricks.

(53,410 posts)Its all pure bluff, communicated to their and Trumps base. Theyre talking to idiocrats. This convinces the MAGATs that the Republicans and Trump are being victimized.

(2,692 posts)They know that Schiff is weakened by his being an honorable person and an adherent to the rules of the House. (Yeah, I meant a little irony there.) So they call for him to violate those rules -- knowing that he won't -- because it gives them an opportunity to imply that the nasty Dems are hiding something.

(757 posts)and undermine her words in the coming months. Like they did the Mueller report. Swiftboat her. Use her strengths against her like they did Christine Ford. Like Hillary (like they will do to Eliz Warren). It's what they do.

(9,090 posts)which may be her exact wording but taken out of context, and then limnbaugh and a few hundred other blowhards and fox will repeat the same crap. or they'll just make shit up as if reading what she said. for the dittohead base that the russians have been using for years to pussh the republican party around that's all they want or need and i wish the dems and media would do the polling that would show the 5% hardcore screaming base are 90% dittoheads

(19,204 posts)she did receive a Congressional subpoena this morning in anticipation of that mid-night phone call. TrumpCo. has become so ridiculously transparent that they had a subpoena ready to go. To her credit she's enough of a patriot to not be controlled by Trump's lawless mal-administration. Good for her!

Miss that part, did you?
Thats courage. And patriotism. Thank you, Ms. Yovanovich.

(12,586 posts)Fat Donnie's minions might try to order her not to cooperate voluntarily, but they can't block her from being subpoenaed.
Every time the WH blocks an employee from talking with the committee is just another article of impeachment.
I'll always remember Ambassador Yovanovitch walking confidently to the Capitol to testify, rather than being snuck into the back via black vehicle.

And she gave them a glaring reminder that their duty is to the U.S. Government and American People, not Dear Leaders.

(11,684 posts)Russia is a shit hole country with a pension for mischief to try an even up their inferiority. Problem is he may be biting off more than he can chew. The future is not going to be kind to Russia or Putin. He sits on a powder keg with his people depressed, suppressed and know he is stealing their future. Day of reckoning, like Trump's, may be unpleasant.
