Trump's campaign manager calls impeachment inquiry a 'seditious conspiracy' as another witness testi
Source: Washington Post
President Trumps reelection campaign manager Brad Parscale on Monday branded the Democrat-led impeachment inquiry a seditious conspiracy and called for the resignation of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) as another witness testified behind closed doors.
Parscale's comments came as House investigators heard from Fiona Hill, the White Houses former top Russia adviser.
Earlier in the day, Trump renewed his call to unmask the whistleblower whose complaint sparked the impeachment inquiry, which is focused on Trumps efforts to pressure Ukraine to investigate former vice president Joe Biden and his son at a time when U.S. military aid was being withheld from the country.
With Congress returning to Washington after a two-week recess, several other depositions are also planned, including that of Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, who is scheduled to appear Thursday under subpoena.

All we can do is make them pay dearly for their obstinate self-destructive stupidity so that the ones who are left standing crawl back under their rocks and stay there for a while.
