Pelosi's Special Ops impeachment managers

"

• Adam Schiff, chair of the House Intelligence Committee, will serve as the lead. He's been an impeachment manager before, in 2010, for the trial of Judge Thomas Porteous. He is a WELL-KNOWN TREASON PARAPHRASER.
• Jerry Nadler, chair of the House Judiciary Committee, will be there too. Nadler is a Gemini.
• OH FORGOT, Adam Schiff is a Cancer. (ON SOCIETY.)
• Val Demings of Florida, a badass who sits on both committees, was one of the most effective questioners in the House hearings and is a former cop, VAL IS A COP!111!1!!! Also a Pisces.
• Zoe Lofgren of California is known around the Judiciary Committee for being incredibly smart and knowing her better than just about anybody. She knows her way around impeachment, as she helped draft the articles against Richard Nixon. She is a Sagittarius.
• Hakeem Jeffries of New York, from the Judiciary Committee, was also an effective questioner. He is a corporate lawyer and a Leo.
• Sylvia Garcia of Texas, also from Judiciary. She is a lawyer and a judge, and a Virgo.
• Jason Crow of Colorado, a new House Democrat who is a former Army Ranger and a lawyer. He's not on either of the committees, but again, Army Ranger and lawyer, and he was one of the national security Democrats who helped kick off the impeachment inquiry in the first place. Like Val Demings, Crow is a Pisces.

These sound like good choices, and we'd expect nothing less from Pelosi."

One has to be mildly evil to be supporting Trump at this point, or really stupid, although I guess those are not mutually exclusive.

New Trump revelations are a

‘fecal iceberg’

that will only lead to more damning info

“All of it was this corrupt, second-tier channel, as the letter proves,

by Rudy [Giuliani] and by Parnas and by all these people

in this pyramid of skells and weirdos and mooks,” said Wilson.

“And all of these people that were involved in this,

they’re out of the State Department chain.

All the claims that the State Department had anything to do with this are just flatly wrong.

They were the ones trying to figure out where this outside influence is coming from.”

Is the world watching though? Most people will catch the recap on MSNBC or Fox News. I can't watch 9 hours of coverage after work. Fox News won't report anything damning.. They will talk about the evil Dems, and the flawed process. Our system is broken..

It is your responsibility.
It is my responsibility.

I dont rely on Fox news.
You dont rely on Fox news.

History will depict exactly what the evidence was. History will expose the 100 senators and chief justice and whatever they did and didnt do.

No one is forcing republicans to ignore facts- the evidence will not change but more damning evidence might still be unearthed.


The world is watching - and if you are not paying attention- it is irrelevant - history will expose your ignorance and disinterest or your involvement- for better or for worse.

Let the chips fall.

Did his counsel also authenticate Nunes secret trip to Vienna?

[Winehole23]

When the shoe was on the other foot:

[Winehole23]

Did his counsel also authenticate Nunes secret trip to Vienna?

There are about 1,000 emails, texts and docs not yet released.

If the Senate doubts corrobrating evidence, it can call witnesses central to the impeachment articles.

I bet Bolton, Giuliani, Pompeo, Barr, Nunes, Harvey and Mulvaney, to name a few, could clear up any uncertainties GOP Senators may have.

The Ritz-Carlton Vienna is/was Dmitry Firtash's HQ. I wonder who all he was bankrolling besides Toensing/DiGenova.

Trump supporter implicated in surveillance effort against Yovanovitch was a ‘known stalker with mental health issues’

one of the key players in new revelations turned over to investigators by an associate of Rudy Giuliani “was a known stalker with mental health issues.”

Trump donor and aspiring GOP lawmaker Robert F. Hyde appear to show an effort to surveil former US ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch.

“The startling messages show the extent to which the Giuliani associates were willing to at least entertain extreme tactics from a campaign donor who has courted controversy and even unsettled others, including fellow supporters of the president,”

police records show that Hyde “violated a restraining order issued by a Washington, DC superior court judge at the request of a Republican consultant who says that

Hyde stalked her and intimidated her family over the last year.”

Connecticut police “confiscated Hyde’s firearms in connection to his violation of the restraining order,”

Hyde was “reported to authorities for ‘unsettling behavior’ and trespassing at a church in Connecticut, according to a separate police report last summer.”

acquaintances of Hyde say he has a “history of erratic behavior.”

“Hyde publicized that he was placed in a psychiatric facility in Florida last May, following an incident at the Trump National Doral Miami resort,”

Hyde expressed fear for his life and told officers that

he ‘was scared due to several painting workers and landscape working trying to do harm to him because they weren’t working.'”

If that holds, then Mitch McConnell should recuse too. He said he'd coordinate with the White House.

Is that what an impartial juror does? Coordinate with the defendant?

McConnell straight up said there’s no duty for impartiality because this is a political function. Would also render these recusal requests moot

Lev Parnas: Devin Nunes was 'involved in getting all this stuff on Biden'

Lev Parnas said he was "in shock" when he saw Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) participating in President Trump's impeachment hearings late last year,

because he knew Nunes was linked to the very scandal that launched the inquiry.

he did not have "much of a relationship" with Nunes, but they did meet "several times" at a Trump hotel.

Nunes, Parnas explained, "was looking into this Ukraine stuff also, wanted to help out. And they gave me Derek Harvey to deal with."

he did not have to brief Harvey on Giuliani's attempts to dig up dirt in Ukraine on former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden, because

Harvey "knew about it already. He had a lot of information already."

he set up Skype interviews between Harvey and Ukrainian prosecutors who claimed to have damaging information about Biden.

Lev Parnas says Attorney General
William Barr was 'basically on the team'

Parnas told Maddow he was "involved" in conversations Giuliani and diGenova had with Attorney General William Barr, and

Barr "absolutely" knew of the effort to get Ukraine to announce the investigation.

"Mr. Barr had to have known everything," he said.

"Victoria, Joe, they were all best friends.

Attorney General Barr was basically on the team."

Indicted Giuliani associate used pro-Trump super PAC official to forward Ukraine talking points to the president’s son

Lev Parnas is that he apparently forwarded talking points on Ukraine to Donald Trump, Jr. using Joseph Ahearn, the director of development for pro-Trump super PAC America First Action,

Ahearn also played a role in setting up a $325,000 payment from Parnas and his partner Igor Fruman to America First Action.

That payment is one of the campaign finance violations that led to Parnas and Fruman’s indictment.
