The houses Impeachment Inquiry is accelerating as attempts to defend the president seem to be growing more extreme. After weeks of denying a quid pro quo with ukraine, President Trump and some Senate Republicans are now trying to justify one. Perhaps, a sign of just how much evidence a piling up and how far
republicans are willing to go to defend the president. Today, we got even more evidence. House investigators have begun releasing transcripts of their depositions, both paving the way for public hearings and

a comparatively mild rebuke of republican senator john kennedy for his recent televised claim that ukraine interfered in the 2016 election to her to trump. claims that democrats say have been debunked. that is a conspiracy theory put out, promulgated by vladimir putin. to deflect the russian interference in our own election. in her testimony, former national security staff or hill acknowledged some ukrainian offn negatively about donald trump, t she blamed ukrainian collusion story on russia. this has been perpetrated and propagated by the russian security services themselves. on monday, richard burr told nbc every elected official in ukraine was for hillary clinton. is that very different than the russians being for donald trump? the ukraine collusion narrative first surfaced in 2017. politico reported ukrainian officials tried to help hillary clinton and undermined before by publicly questioning his fitness were office.
it s an important piece of understanding how the republican argument here, which is biden/burisma is one avenue of it and the other avenue is the sort of 2016 democratic/ukraine collusion conspiracies. but how these came to be and how they got so close to the president, we think that they might be what republicans decide to bring to the senate trial if there is one. michael, the parnas being outside the tent now seems like a really huge development. i m curious what you make of the noises that he is obviously making. the fact that he s turned over documents to the house intelligence committee and talking about wanting to testify, et cetera. it s pretty clear that parnas has been trying to sort of dangle the idea that he has useful information before the house intelligence committee in order to get immunity and i think he thinks that may help him with the southern district. i m not sure it will.
testify that trump directed a quid pro quo involving military aid. not one. so let s go home and forget it all happen. nancy pelosi wasted everyone s time. what did she do in 2019? she shut down the government and then she failed to impeach the president. we are going to look back at 2019 like what? you did nothing. no nafta, renegotiation, doped drug prices, no infrastructure. what happened today? someone overheard a phone call. the president said i don t give a blank about ukraine. neither does the country. i wish even there? this is the reason trump is dual tracking diplomacy and ukraine in the first place because people like fiona. fiona doesn t even know there is ukraine collusion. she actually met christopher steele and saw the dossier before the dossier went public. the whole thing comes down to this.
