IMPEACHMENT
September call
Important analysis: “The ‘no quid pro quo’ call was, in reality, a ‘here is the specific quid pro quo I want’ call. And, by erroneously placing the call on September 9th, Sondland helped obscure these omissions from his testimony, by divorcing the call from its actual context.” https://t.co/n4nUGx4NhY

Thankful that most Americans (including Republicans) reject the Trump-Nunes-Putin line on 2016, per new Economist/YouGov poll:

Did Russia interfere in 2016 election: 61% yes, 23% no

Paul Ryan actually had a core ideology and policy goals. The media insisted however that his ideas were more complex than robbing the poor to give to the rich. They also assumed he was a moral actor (he’s not).

No matter where one lives #impeachment is THE headline.

Nunes
If this CNN report is accurate, that would mean that Nunes and his colleagues sat there every day accusing Schiff of meeting with the whistleblower (he didn’t) and never disclosed that Nunes met with Shokin to get dirt on Biden. https://t.co/M5lbjbQ4gj
— Ryan Lizza (@RyanLizza) November 23, 2019
also, non-answer
Maria Bartiromo asks Nunes "bottom line, were you in Vienna with Shokin?"
Nunes says he really wants to answer "all of the questions" but can't right now "because there is criminal activity here," referring to… CNN?

Don't get too bent out of shape. ADT never said that. She's actually quoting John Innes Clarke Hare who was paraphrasing ADT. Perhaps ironically (given her intent) the author's actual take is that the power of impeachment is a necessary tool to prevent monarchs and despots.
