Cillizza is trash obviously but I’d be happy to argue the side that Pelosi botched the impeachment. The goal all along should have been to smear him with as much truth as could be packed into those hearings. The low-hanging fruit was virtually limitless. Instead they focused on issues that are difficult for the layman to understand and or care about.

Lol

The fact they rushed through it is going to mean the Senate trial won’t include any of this Parnas stuff. Not that it would likely matter anyways.

Nobody, and I mean nobody, doubts that Trump did it. That is a given. The Parnas stuff just confirms what everybody knew. Everybody in the Senate (just like the House) knows that Trump is “guilty”.

However, the so-called trial in the Senate will not be a fact-based undertaking. The only question is whether it is an impeachable offense. Of course, the Senate will collectively (2/3 rule) say No.

I’d like to see ol’ Rudy confess his way out of this one

did not expect “trump knew everything” part of the crimes. Hard to get a pardon that way.

Jesus. Brief interview footage here.

Rachel: What do you think is the main inaccuracy—or the main lie—that’s being told that you feel like you can correct?

Lev: That the President didn’t know what was going on. President Trump knew exactly what was going on. He was aware of all of my movements. I wouldn’t do anything without the consent of Rudy Giuliani or the President.

Rachel: In terms of the President and what he has said about you: he said about you and Mr. Fruman, “I don’t know those gentlemen. I don’t know about them. I don’t know what they do.” You’re saying that was not a true statement from the President?

Lev: He lied.

Are you wondering if he’ll make it to 48?

He looks 60.

Refresh my memory, has this guy gotten the “never heard of the guy” tweet yet?

Uh, there were those of us who were saying this needs to be dragged out as long as possible, but as usual, plenty of y’all went weak tight and jumped on the “we need to get this over ASAP so we can start talking about how Bernie doesn’t like women” train.
