Except that it can also be spun as "why are you guys so interested in obstructing and disrupting the inquiry? could it be that you have (DUM DUM DUM) SOMETHING TO HIDE?"

Every republican complaint about unfairness should be met with at least one solid slap across the face.

Once again?

SCOOP: An internal memo obtained by @Axios warns that "the White House is posturing itself to be electronically compromised once again.” At least 12 top- or high-level officials have resigned recently from a key WH cybersecurity team. https://t.co/aEPp8FmIv1

that Trump's criminal proclivities happen to dovetail nicely w Putin's anti-Europe manuevering doesn't mean he's not compromised

kind of baffled that there are ppl in here who still don't understand (or what? don't want to believe?) that for decades our now-president has been laundering what is essentially mob money w/ Russian oligarchs and they have him over a barrel

yes, puppetry

Update from the SCIF: sources tell me Rep. Louie Gohmert has begun using an astronaut toilet, the one with the suction cups, in front of everyone because "this is how you pee in the SCIF." Unclear where he got the toilet but it's not in fact part of the SCIF.

Asking because I genuinely don’t know the answer but if Warren gets elected next year what would we anticipate her solution to the tension between Kurdish statehood and Turkish nationalism to be? The line a lot of Democrats are taking is that they support withdrawing US troops, but not like this. Is there any clarity on what needs to happen before the US can pull back ‘properly’?

Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) said on Wednesday that it was difficult to draw "hard, fast conclusions" from a top U.S. diplomat's closed-door testimony but that the "picture" from initial reports was "not a good one."

"The picture coming out of it based on the reporting that we've seen is, yeah, I would say not a good one," Thune told reporters when a reporter characterized William Taylor's testimony as "troubling."

"But I would say also that, again, until we have a process that allows for everybody to see this in full transparency, it's pretty hard to draw any hard, fast conclusions," Thune added.

Thune noted at the time that he had not read Taylor's testimony but had seen only initial reports.

Not sure how labeling a very real impeachment inquiry "so-called" is supposed to work in his favor.

White House strategy is to claim they don't have to cooperate with the inquiry because the House has not yet voted to open an inquiry.
