Trump Will 'Strongly Consider' Testifying & His Health is 'Very Good (Great!)'
Trump attacked witness Marie Yovanovitch on Twitter during her testimony for the impeachment inquiry, made an unplanned visit to the hospital for the totally normal 'first phase' of his annual physical, claimed he could possibly testify before Congress himself, and Joe Biden announced that he would not legalize marijuana federally if elected.

Trump And Allies Rattled Ahead Of Big Week Of Impeachment Hearings - Day That Was | MSNBC
With nine witnesses scheduled to testify in impeachment hearings this week, President Trump and his allies are rattled. The president has reportedly been fuming at Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for allowing State Dept. officials to testify in hearings. Defenders of the president, such as Rep. Jim Jordan, have deflected questions on news programs. Aired on 11/19/19.

So it seems Lt. Col. Vindman gives the Democrats the dirt on Mulvaney.

Vindman also links the White House to the ask of the political dirt, he is the real deal and was also aware of the Russia connection with the phone call between Trump and Putin that came in between the escalation of asking for dirt and the implications of how it hurt Ukraine.

The VP Jennifer Williams seems to be more bringing in Pence's understanding and the political aspect of what was going on and them understanding it was not on the up and up.

Her lawyer shut a lot of it down with some quasi-executive privilege kind of thing saying she would answer anything in a private session, but Schiff

Schiff's openning:

Attacking the press 101.

Looks like the Trump conspiracy theorists are going to try to make Vindman the bad guy.

He left Ukraine when he was a kid, and when he met some politician in Ukraine along with 2 other people, the guy kept asking him to be Minister of Defense during the dinner. He had a really good line of questioning from the Republican guy, it really shows how they are going to try to troll Trump out of his latest screw up.

@about 5 minutes: Jim Jordan (R) is trying to set up a troll of "How is this outing the whistleblower".

-Because process of elimination and future trolling attempts to give Trump just enough to use to cast doubt and witness tamper. If they can get the people to name as they had met them, collaborate a few peoples testimony and you get the name by process of elimination.

Democrats need to learn to troll better. The immediate follow up would have been to ask if they thought the word 'mess hall' is in any of those testimonies.

Great 5 minutes for people who need a little faith in America.

This guy loves the nod for agreement, shake for disagreement schtick.


But @5minutes ish, VP Pence staffer Jennifer Williams basically ties in her boss, LT General Kellogg was on the same call as she was on and she didn't report anything because she didn't feel the need with him on the call. So next up for Pence will be Lt. Gen. Kellogg I am betting. I am still getting through his questioning.

Schiff's closing with Lt. Col. Vindman & Williams

Schiff has been laying it out really well. The two guys testifying tonight are getting caught trying to not burn Trump.

Volker knew about Guiliani's dirt and tried to hide the asking for dirt in the meeting he had that Bolton shut down after Sonland started asking for Ukraine to dig up dirt on Biden.

And Morrison was the one that hid the transcript for political damaging material on it. Schiff hung him out to dry on never having done it before and not admitting that it was because Trump was trying to shake down another countries elected leader for dirt on his competition.

Facts Don't Look Good for Team Trump

Colonel with a purple heart, Donald Trump gave more details about his unannounced visit to Walter Reed Hospital, and it was the release day for the new tell-all book written by an anonymous Senior White House Official.
