was in the oval office pretty much every day, who is mentioned multiple times already in testimony, who either quit or was fired depending on who you believe, clearly knows a lot more than he is saying so far. his lawyer says that he won t appear without a subpoena. thursday, the historic house vote to advance the impeachment inquiry, giving republicans a promise of exactly what they say they want, open hearings. i don t know why the republicans are afraid of the truth. every member should support allowing the american people to hear the facts for themselves. as i said before, you ve got to wonder whether the president s defenders really want the american people to see a witness like colonel vindman or bill taylor raise his right hand, swear to tell the truth, and lay out damning testimony on live tv. and in the wake of that momentous vote, the president, who is his own one-man war room, not only says the ukraine call that launched the whole impeachment inquiry was his word per

and then came monday. the blockbuster news that lieutenant colonel alexander vindman, who was listening in on the president s infamous ukraine call, who is a decorated military veteran with credentials that are pretty hard to deny, was so disturbed by what he heard on that call that he reported it to the national security council lawyer john eisenberg, who as we re learning tonight told him not to tell anybody else about the call. tuesday colonel vindman testifies for ten hours behind closed doors, saying that while most of the white house s rough transcript of the call, a transcript clearly showing the president leaning on ukraine to investigate the bidens, was accurate. it did not include blanks that he tried to fill in based on what he heard with his own ears, like replacing a set of ellipses with a description of president trump telling president zelensky there were tapes of joe biden. that completely contradicts the president s repeated claims that the transcript was exact.
