During the infamous 2017 Oval Office meeting with Russian officials, Trump told them he didn't care if they had interfered in the election because the US does it to other countries all the time. All records of the meeting were moved to the ultra-high security system as it was viewed as politically damaging.
I'll predict that there's going to be more and more leaks like this as the WH falls apart

threatens to delist Chinese companies from the US stock exchange. Perhaps President Shit4brains has finally come to realize that his Tax On American Business aka Tariffs hurts US interests far more than it does Chinese. Long overdue - both the realization and the delist threat. Should also declare all T notes and public debt held by the Chinese are non-transferable.....make them worthless to anyone other than the US.
Here we are, more than a year into a trade 'war', and we're FINALLY doing something other than pandering to Very Stable Genius' deluded trade failures.

Thinking about Giuliani's role in all this and it seems like they are deliberately blurring the lines as to what capacity he was functioning. If he was the President's personal attorney, he's covered by Attorney-client privilege and it would be extremely difficult to ever subpoena him. But politically speaking that is worse because he makes it look more obvious that Trump was altering foreign policy for his personal benefit. That's partially solved by claiming that Rudy was acting alongside the State Dept as a quasi employee. But that also makes him more susceptible to subpoena. So it seems like they will attempt to claim the best of both worlds.Comment

Also, where was Giuliani getting the money to do all this? He has said at various times that he was working for "free". That's obviously bullshit.
If it turns out to be the Trump campaign that would be bad for Trump.Comment

Bill Barr was "surprised and angry" to hear Trump had lumped him in with GIuliani as someone Ukraine needed to work with

Administration is clearly hoping that people will buy that even if the information the whistle-blower cited is 100% accurate, it's second-hand, and therefore should be dismissed.
Not saying the whistle-blower IS 100% accurate, but would definitely argue that being second-hand or "hearsay" is far less important than being true. If this is the best argument Trump's got, he's in trouble.Comment

Poll shows nearly 2/3 of Americans believe it is a "very serious" or "somewhat serious" problem that Trump encouraged Ukraine to investigate the Bidens. Note that the question asked says nothing about a quid pro quo -- seems reasonable to think it'd be even worse for Trump if that were established or implied in the question
Also note over 80% (!) say that are not surprised by the President's behavior.

This is a popular meme making the rounds in Trump Lalaland
One, it again displays how impressed they are by empty space (especially between the ears)
Two, the map isn't even accurate. In true Trumpian fashion they just had to exaggerate the number of counties won by Trump and simply falsify it a bit here and there. This is easiest to spot in Riverside County, California, which Hillary won by 5 points but is colored red on the map. Just with a quick check you can also tell that the amaount of red in oregon is wrong, the amount of red in Washington is wrong, Centre County PA (where State College is) went for Hillary but is colored red, and so on. Tons and tons of "mistakes"
Three, these people might want to go look at Nixon's 1972 electoral map

Tom Bossert, who was H R McMaster's Deputy National Security Advisor in 2017-18, was on ABC this morning and said that a great way to get impeached is to hire Rudy Giuliani.
He said that they repeatedly told Trump that the Crowdstrike/Ukraine/DNC Server conspiracy theory was a load of bullshit and debunked years ago, but Giuliani is now feeding him that stuff continuously.
Was trying to find a clip of it but couldn't find it. He partially mentions it here. Finally says that if Trump remains obsessed with the 2016 collusion charges it will bring him down.

Chris Wallace held Stephen Miller's feet to the fire in this clip. Chris wanted an answer as to why Trump used private attorneys to push Ukraine on Biden instead of the State Dept, CIA, Pentagon, etc.
Miller repeatedly tried to dodge the question and start babbling about John Durham and FISA "abuse" instead but Wallace wasn't having it

Partisan hack Jim Jordan was on with Jake Tapper. Tapper did a really good job to call out his lies and at one point even said he was amazed that someone who had outrageous accusations made against himself just in the past year or two (the OSU wrestling team stuff) would be so cavalier making wild accusations against others. That's the only point where Jordan might have felt a twinge of shame.
Also, it's easy to understand why Boehner HATED Jim Jordan
