Impeachment Hearing Wednesday 11/20/2019

11/20/2019 Edition:

I think it would behoove the board to have a single easily found place to discuss today’s public testimony in the House of Representatives on the historical happenings today. Only 3-times in the 240+ year history of this country have Presidents been subject to an impeachment actions.

  1. I request that posters stay on the topic of the hears and resist the attempt to deflect.
  2. I request that posters stay respectful toward each others position whether it be in support of President Trump or against President Trump.

9 AM ET
Ambassador Gordon Sondland, U.S. Ambassador to the European Union

2:30 PM ET
Laura Cooper, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Russian, Ukrainian, and Eurasian Affairs
David Hale, Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs

Should it be legal to hold impeachment hearings if a president has done nothing wrong?

Should it be illegal to hold impeachment hearings if a President abuses the power of the office for personal political gain?

Million Dollar Never Trumper!

I think today is make or break for the entire Republican case (which as far as I can is flimsy shouting about ratings). If Sondland folds, there is no more honest defense.

Frankly there isn’t now, but that doesn’t stop the Short Bus Lineup from making one.

I’d say the same is true for Dems today. If Sondland doesn’t move the needle, it will be a long road ahead. Unless they can get some of the subpoena hold outs to testify.

This is not good news for Trump.

I guess Sondland is not a “never Trumper”.

Trump is done.

Spoiler alert: don’t miss his opening address.

Where was Sondland born? Has he ever said anything against the president? Will we ever know for sure?

Today we feast on nothingburger, forever hungry searching for ways to take down Trump. Will hearsay from a coffee boy do it?

Ouch!

Even Ken Starr is having a difficult time defending Trump on Fox right now.

This opening statement is going to be very bad for Trump.

Expect idiots Nunes and Gym Jordan to throw Sondland under the bus and claim that since Sondland potentially lied, that his testimony is not credible.
