Sickening bastards. Just wait Repigs will go down. Especially McConnell will his wife come out of their house and say "leave my husband alone", again.

We will not be bullied by these SOB's.

he's needing a new Bhengazi
says there's not been an investigation of the Bidens and anyone who says there
has been is a liar, so after this (impeachment) was done he would be starting an investigation of the Bidens and John Kerry's nephew? son?

They also ignore that if anything, they would try to use him against Hunter Biden because he broke his ties to Biden and another person after he could not persuade them that this would look bad.

if they can go that long. I predict 2 short weekend days, followed by more "sane and rational" few hours on Monday.

Doubt they can fill more than 16 of the 24 hours, if that many.

there is no defense aside from:
1) yes the president can shake down a foreign country, because we say so

2) Joe Biden & Hunter Biden [literally all they have are these names to say, they lack any coherent reason as to why their names should be said]

3) today we saw the new addition of, but HRC paid for the Steele dossier, that's the real foreign interference

4) the Dems hate Mr. Trump and just want to undo the 2016 election, and have wanted too since day one

thats all they got. ok maybe add:

5) why did Speaker Pelosi hang on to the articles of impeachment for 30 days

6) why was this rushed in the house

7) [Shiff has addressed this too] why didn't the Dems wait for the courts to rule on Mr. Trump's unconstitutional stonewalling

8) it's all hearsay

9) Ukraine got the aid

10) Mr. Obama never gave Ukraine military aid [this is a farce, as no one in the DoD thought Ukraine should get military hardware until they reformed their country, which they did, so we started giving them aid]


good luck making 24 hours out of these points. none of these points are a coherent strategy that fundamentally challenges the assertions in the articles of impeachment.

further if you want to call Hunter Biden and ask him about working for Burisma, then Hunters testimony should only be given if Joe Cofer Black, former CIA director of operations and director of the CIA counterterrorism center, who joined the board of Burisma in 2017 also testifies.

I remember him on CBS years ago debating with a writer from Wired magazine. The far-right republican sleaze got his clock cleaned.

There's an old legal aphorism that goes,
"If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts.
If you have the law on your side, pound the law.
If you have neither on your side, pound the table."

Looks like Sekulow knows they don't have facts or the law on their side...
