Nunes and the Republicans think this strategy to out the whistleblower is sooooo clever.

Vindman is a boss.

Nunes- “Mr. Vindman ~some bs question”

Vindman “Ranking member, it’s Lt. Col. Vindman please”.

“And the witness will address the court as Sir, or His Honor. I’m quite certain I’ve earned it.”

That previous back and forth will now be the basis for a full on Vindman/Whisteblower smear campaign.

I like Clownsel Jamm’s relaxed, “these details are no big deal but let’s just establish them” style.

What has any of this got to do with anything? GOP has so little they struggle to fill 45 mins.

I just turn off the TV when it’s the GOP turn. It makes me too angry listening to their nonsense. I’ll be back for the good guys.

Also, is it possible that Vindman is the whistleblower?

I wish Devin Nunes Cow was doing the questioning.

He said under oath he didn’t know who the whistleblower was, I highly doubt it’s him.

They’re basically trying to show that Trump has always been concerned with “corruption” and that all the meetings Americans had with Ukranians were pleasant. Since the meetings were all good, there couldn’t possibly be any underlying problems, right?

The GOP defense of throwing out buzz words is so tilting. It doesn’t work here but it works with their base when all they see is a super cut of the buzz words and clips with a red-faced Hannity or Cucker yelling over it about THE WITCH HUNT.
