I think I broke little Lyle's off switch. Pentagon Pledges to Protect Key Witness: Impeachment Update https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...for-testimony-impeachment-update?srnd=premium "Pentagon Says Vindman Will Be Protected (6:25 p.m.) A U.S. Defense Department official said Thursday that “robust procedures” were in place to protect Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman after he testified in the House impeachment inquiry." [Yep, this is America under Trump] Separately, an Army spokeswoman said in a statement that Vindman has been “afforded all protections anyone would be provided in his circumstances.” The statements, from the Pentagon official and the Army spokeswoman, were released after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer wrote to top Army officials demanding to know what protections will be afforded to Vindman after the National Security Council aide’s patriotism was questioned by some conservatives who were angry over his testimony. Vindman testified Tuesday that he listened to Trump’s July 25 telephone call with Ukraine’s president and was so disturbed by the conversation that he reported it to the NSC’s lawyer.
I see a lot of right wing crying today on this but the Republicans in the house and Trump have more rights in this matter than in previous impeachment hearings. I still haven’t heard a good argument based on the merits of the accusations. This procedural crying is only going to last so long and then witnesses are going to testify in public and transcripts are going to be released and it’s going to get real.
President Zelenskyy of Ukraine: Well yes, to tell you the truth, we are trying to work hard because we wanted to drain the swamp here in our country. We brought in many many new people. Not the old politicians, not the typical politicians, because we want to have a new format and a new type of government. You are a great teacher for us and in that.
Tom Brokaw Warns Dems: You Don’t Have the Goods on Trump Suffolk University poll, ...59% of the respondents do not favor impeachment. You’ve only got 36% who do.
Impeachment, it's political theater. It is probably working against the Dems much more than they understand.
