The Trump Impeachment Inquiry

AP News: Envoy to Ukraine was removed after pushback on Giuliani

Well no wonder they didn’t like her. They prefer sneaky back channel communication.

Has Fox put the graphic “Rudy Giuliani (D)” up yet? This has been a fun couple weeks, like Christmas morning every day. I bet the two guys they arrested are singing like canaries right now, dare we hope to see Rudy 911 hauled away in cuffs? Lock him up!

In this face-paced, 24/7 news cycle world, it can be hard to keep up. I just want to make sure I have all the facts in place before I make a fool of myself by using the wrong terminology.

Is it Rudy Collude-y or Collude-y Rudy?

I heard that MSNBC had a headline saying something like “Breaking News: Arrest of Rudy Giuliani’s clients” but it was squeezed into a box that cut it off at the apostrophe (or is it a hyphen?)…

John Hudson, Washington Post:

How you gonna keep those Americans viewers down on the farm once they’ve seen reality?

“I’ll pull a bigass beehive out a tree, drop my drawers and hump it!” I see this Administration is a big fan of “Fuck the World” as well.

Well, who would be surprised by the news that each of them, very unfortunately, committed suicide while in custody?

“Lunch with Rudy Giuliani” must have been the precipitating event for many a suicide, over the years.

A lovely part of Rudy’s lack of official position is that he can’t hold anything over them. They can sing without consequences.

Is it wrong that I’m enjoying the hell out of this? I’d ask my representative if he’s having fun yet, but in his sophomore season he’s already a regular on CNN so I can guess his answer.

When we were kids we’d argue about whether God could make a rock so big that even he couldn’t lift it. Now I wonder if Donald can commit crimes so brazen that even Barr can’t shut down the investigation.

So Pompeo’s senior advisor quits because of low morale. I bet. Now I’m thinking that Republicans will force Twitler out sooner rather than later. They don’t want to have a trial and have to vote on his removal in an election year. Plus all those primaries that they cancelled- what would they do if the vacancy occurs mid-primary and nobody has delegates? Tick…tick…tick… midnight is drawing near.

At this point, I wish that I could still be hopeful but a woman named Fiona Hill is scheduled to testify to Congress on Monday and she seems to be someone who would know something and who could conceivably decide to ignore Executive Privilege.

Those two guys look like they are connected to the Russian mob. I think it is much more likely that they have “accidents” than that they “sing”.

Kenneth P. Vogel, NYTimes:

So, to recap, Parnas’s firm is called “Fraud Guarantee”, and Fruman’s club in Odessa is called “MAFIA RAVE”.

And Johnny Hitman is their “agent.”

Seriously people, the writing this season is just fucking lazy.

I disagree. Sometimes going all in with oblivious obvious can work. I will definitely marathon watch the rest of the season.

Those are perhaps the most appropriate business names I’ve encountered since Snidely Whiplash carried out his dastardly schemes under the cover of a building demolition firm called “Edifice Wrecks.”

Maybe I’m a rube but this sounds big. I would not be surprised if she has some friends who might he emboldened by this to come forward.

I would not be surprised if Barr has her arrested before her testimony. For “disrespecting Trump” or some such.
