…and of course every fifth word the Ukrainian President says will be “sir.”

I don’t read this as that strong, but it would be incredibly stupid for Trump to push back against McConnell’s priorities on anything. Like, that would be the stupidest thing for Trump to do. So he probably did it.

marky mark and the corruption bunch don’t seem to want the full scope of the complaint to see the light of day. Why is that?

Joe Biden made a point in his statement on the Ukraine controversy to emphasize that Congress should only launch impeachment proceedings if Trump continues to obstruct House Democrats’ investigations.
“The president should stop stonewalling this investigation and all the other investigations of his wrongdoing,” Biden said. “Using its full Constitutional authority, Congress should demand the information it has a legal right to receive.
“And if the President does not comply — if he continues to obstruct Congress and flout the law — Donald Trump will leave Congress no choice but to initiate impeachment.”
This is a step short of calling for immediately initiating impeachment, and although it seems virtually certain that Trump will continue to obstruct the investigations, it will be interesting to see if Biden then forcefully comes out to demand that House Democrats follow through on his request.
Pelosi and Hoyer announce resolution condemning Trump’s obstruction
Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer have just confirmed that the House will vote on a resolution tomorrow condemning Trump’s efforts to block the release of a whistleblower complaint about his call with the Ukrainian president.
The House speaker and majority leader said in a statement: “Allegations that the President of the United States sought to enlist a foreign government to interfere in our democratic process by investigating one of his political rivals – and may have used the withholding of Congressionally-appropriated foreign assistance days earlier as intimidation – are deeply alarming. …
“On Wednesday, the House will vote on a resolution making it clear Congress’s disapproval of the Administration’s effort to block the release of the complaint and the need to protect the whistleblower.
“This is not a partisan matter, it’s about the integrity of our democracy, respect for the rule of law and defending our Constitution. We hope that all Members of the House – Democrats and Republicans alike – will join in upholding the rule of law and oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution as Representatives of the American people.”

Nancy Pelosi recently concluded a closed-door meeting with the Democratic chairs of six House committees: judiciary, intelligence, oversight, ways and means, financial services and foreign affairs.
It appeared that the House speaker endorsed each of the committees continuing their investigations of Trump to determine whether to file articles of impeachment against the president, according to a CNN reporter.

House Democrats have now gathered for their caucus meeting to discuss impeachment, and Nancy Pelosi will deliver a statement at 5 pm EST on the matter.
But Pelosi is not expected to hold a press conference after making the statement, so she is unlikely to take questions on her position.
So Nancy isn’t on the Impeachment train yet? Just to vote on whether or not to condemn Trump? WTF?
