And save great cost
Impeachment hearing chapter 2 of the day: the Guardian Live reports:
Fox News anchors described the testimony of Maria Yovanovitch as a “turning point” in the impeachment inquiry against Trump.
Anchor Bret Baier predicted that Trump’s tweet smearing Yovanovitch’s reputation as the longtime diplomat testified would lead to a new article of impeachment against the president.
That was a turning point in this hearing so far. She was already a sympathetic witness & the President’s tweet ripping her allowed Schiff to point it out real time characterizing it as witness tampering or intimidation -adding an article of impeachment real-time.
That’s a Fox anchor who said that.
Trump says the gutting of the State Department is a good thing.
We have vacancies in various departments because we do not want or need as many people as past administrations (and save great cost), and also, the Democrats delay the approval process to levels unprecedented in the history of our Country!
Former Trump associate Roger Stone has been found guilty on all counts, including lying to the same House committee currently holding impeachment hearings.
Stone becomes the latest member of the president’s circle to be convicted — joining the likes of Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen and Michael Flynn.
Lie down with dogs get up with fleas.
And then there’s Giuliani:
Federal prosecutors in New York are investigating whether Rudy Giuliani stood to personally profit from a Ukrainian natural-gas business pushed by two associates who also aided his efforts there to launch investigations that could benefit President Trump, people familiar with the matter said.
Mr. Giuliani’s associates, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, pitched their new company, and plans for a Poland-to-Ukraine pipeline carrying U.S. natural gas, in meetings with Ukrainian officials and energy executives this year, saying the project had the support of the Trump administration, according to people briefed on the meetings. In many of the same meetings, the two men also pushed for assistance on investigations into Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and alleged interference by Ukraine in the 2016 U.S. election, some of the people said.
Filth as far as the eye can see.
BUT HER EMAILS!!!!!!
You mean, unlike in the Obama administration, when Republican stonewalling left a vacancy on the Supreme Court, which was promptly filled with a Trump loyalist? Or the process by which Clinton and Obama both were shut out on their nominees, so that the majority of our judges and justices have been appointed by Republican presidents? And approved in spite of being unfit for the job? Or, in the case of a couple of the highest court justices, abusers of women? Yeah, that unprecedented. Okay, got it. Unprecedented means “Nope, this isn’t happening to us, even though we did it to you, neener neener”.
Given that Dems have been a minority in the Senate during his whole regime, the only way I can see them delaying the process is by existing and forcing him to waste time that could be used on nominations spouting his vile bile on Twitter.
