Hearings, dozens of hours of testimony, names and titles. And for all the confusion of who was where and did and heard and saw what, one thing is now clear to anyone who is looking cleareyed at the facts. The president wanted ukraine to look into issues of political interest to him.

Embassy in ukraine, came ready. Hill especially came ready to confront the smears, to confront the conspiracies being floated by many of the republicans in the room. Today was a very big day. Again, especially for dr. Hill. She was certainly without equal when it came to confidence, clarity, and complete inability to take any crap. And i did say to him, ambassador

It was nice, i got to tell you. I love you, but i didnt miss you at all. Well deserved. I wouldnt miss me either. I needed one more week. It takes four or five days to get into it, you know that, right . Then you got to come back three days after that. Heres what i noticed about an observation that ive made. Anybody who this president has gone after pretty much and his defenders, still standing. Still standing. Anyone most people or many people who are close to this president who have defended this president , not standing. Gone to prison, been indicted, lost their jobs. If they leave the white house, he goes after them. They get in trouble for something. I think that rick is right. Everything trump touches dies. Fealty, not loyalty. Do for him or be gone.
