This going after the whistleblower is also really fucking annoying.

I sometimes have to deal with Confidential Informant cases.  It's really the same principle.  We can't rely on the CI to prove our case.  All the CI is point us in a particular direction.  Our case is made up of whatever OTHER information police discover.

The WB here is immaterial.  There is ample other evidence.  But Trumpists are attacking the WB just to discourage anyone else from daring to come forward.

They're attacking the WB so they can feed the deep state, never Trump, everyone hates us narrative.

Manchin signals he's on side by lead authoring a softball question about any trials that don't have witnesses.

Man there's a lot of repetition in the questions.

*Ted Cruz* co-authors a question about Hillary being impeached under the theory that she requested information from a foreign source (Steele's Russian contacts).   :lol:

That's chutzpah baby!

Dems totally booted the answer.

I don't get Rand Paul's motives in sticking his nose so far up Trump's ass. He's coming off as an absolute fruitcake.
I think Pauls have been Russia's useful idiots long before it was in fashion.

Hillary can't be impeached because she's not in office.  The only way anyone could get impeached, if using Steele was an impeachable offense, is if the person who paid Steele was currently a sitting US junior senator from Texas.

Seems crazy that they're going to fall on their sword like this for Trump and not even vote for witnesses. The last poll I saw had even 70% of Republicans in favor of witnesses.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Is it possible the Democrats have been stonewalling on Hunter to increase his value as trade bait?  Like get a two for one?  That would be devilish clever.

Bet withdrawn.  Lamar Alexander is a no on witnesses, no on conviction.

That's not falling on the sword.  That's protecting their interests.  Why would they want witnesses?  They don't need more evidence that they need to ignore.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

They're going to suffer for this decision in November

They'll make up for it in Russian and federal government help.
DOJ suddenly opening investigations into their opponents, hackers compromising their systems, etc.
