I think the Ukraine thing is like 5% of the story. If and when the whistleblower testifies openly, I expect jaw-dropping shit, even relative to our adjusted expectations.

Unlikely, though. Right?

There are so many crimes out in the open already. He collects bribes from foreign leaders (and awval) who amazingly always choose his shitty hotel every time they’re in DC. The impeachment should be on him generally using the office for his personal benefit in every way imaginable, with Ukraine being just one example of that.

I guess Trump must think continuously tweeting about this is making things better for him? Usually the tweets come in clusters but it’s been a steady stream all day today.

Dems are now officially calling the committee investigations against Trump “impeachment investigations” rather than normal investigations. So, I think the only thing new is Pelosi is cool with using the word impeachment. There weren’t any votes taken.

Trump is caught red-handed on tape trying to extort Ukraine in exchange for dirt on Joe Biden’s son. There is a tape and a mystery whistleblower.

Giuliani goes on TV and admits he was up to some fuckery in Ukraine and then immeiately denies it.

Pelosi drags her heels until the left gets screaming mad.

In a shocking move, Pelosi announces an “impeachment investigation” which turns out to be just a rebranding of existing investigations. Everyone goes nuts.

By law, Congress is supposed to get the whistleblower report and the tapes. Trump offers to hand over transcripts of the tape and nothing else.

Somehow the Senate votes unanimously to make Trump turn over the whistleblower report and the tapes. Seems too good to be true. It’s either a clever trap or else this is Mitch McConnell’s “Et tu, Brute?” moment.

Whistelblower is expected to testify sometime this week? Unsourced leaks say Trump has been calling up Pelosi begging for a deal? Mitch is still holding all the cards, I don’t know what’s going on.

The very short simplified version is Trump held $250 million in aid to Ukraine hostage trying to get Ukraine’s President to give him dirt on Joe Biden. WaPo has a good breakdown of the entire timeline.

Lol Rudy was just on Fox screaming “Shut up!” over and over again. Whatever is happening, these guys are shook.

Huh. Without even really paying attention to the news for a week and a half, I was aware of paragraphs 1-4. Last 2 paragraphs… SAY WHAT?

And thanks, btw.

The President’s lawyer is having a normal one:
