Oil up the Guillotine, it's Miller Time!
Pull up a chair boys the real fun is about to start.
Taylor testifies that "Jumbo" Sondland called Chump from a restaurant in Kyiv, Ukraine, from a cell phone no less. An unsecured line.
A total and complete FUBAR (or is it?) that you just can't make up. Sondland may be looking at perjury charges in his future. The Russian KGB surely has
sophisticated listening devices that can capture cell phone chatter. So, he is either stupid or doesn't care.
Chump was overheard asking Sondland about the "investigations" and Jumbo says, to a Taylor staff person, that Chump only cares about the probe. Here's thye best part...Repugs keep insisting that Chump cares about corruption in Ukraine, but makes no mention of it in "the transcript." Funny, shouldn't you talk about corruption if that's your claim?
This shit just keeps getting better; and there's this:
Jim Jordan tearing into the Dems...
You can't write this stuff fast enough!
Wow!

Trump Directed Diplomat to Ask Ukraine to Probe Biden in Overheard Cellphone Call.
In a jaw-dropping operational security lapse, President Donald Trump discussed his demand for Ukraine to open investigations of Joe Biden and other Democrats in a cellphone conversation with an American diplomat who was in a restaurant in Ukraine at the time, the House impeachment inquiry was told on Wednesday.
During that call with Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, Trump spoke so loudly about “the investigations” that someone in the restaurant who was not on the phone could hear his words, according to Bill Taylor, the senior American diplomat in Ukraine.
It is highly likely that others were listening too. Russia’s intelligence services have previously demonstrated the capability to intercept the phone calls of American diplomats in Ukraine and make recordings that can be used to compromise or embarrass those officials.
After the call, Taylor said, “The member of my staff asked Ambassador Sondland what President Trump thought of Ukraine. Ambassador Sondland responded that President Trump cares more about the investigations of Biden, which Giuliani was pressing for.”

2) Trump had Erdogan as his guest, yesterday, in the White House. Only last month, Trump made vast and violent threats to destroy Turkey's economy when Erdogan invaded Syria. But Erdogan carried forward his plans in Syria, completely unchanged. I guess what Trump meant was that if Erdogan changed his plans in Syria, Trump would destroy Turkey, but luckily Erdogan did not and, therefore, become a White House guest. And Trump gets to keep Trump Towers Istanbul.
"Trump says he's prepared to 'swiftly destroy' Turkey's economy if its leaders continue 'this dangerous and destructive path' in Syria; US troops are being shifted from Syria to Iraq, Kuwait, maybe Jordan."

Ambassador’s cellphone call to Trump from Kyiv restaurant was a stunning breach of security, former officials say
A U.S. ambassador’s cellphone call to President Trump from a restaurant in the capital of Ukraine this summer was a stunning breach of security, exposing the conversation to surveillance by foreign intelligence services, including Russia’s, former U.S. officials said.
The call — in which Trump’s remarks were overheard by a U.S. Embassy staffer in Kyiv — was disclosed Wednesday by the acting U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, William B. Taylor Jr., on the dramatic opening day of public impeachment hearings into alleged abuse of power by the president.

The Seven Ways Wednesday’s Hearing Clarified Trump’s Real Motives
1. The consistency question. One measure of the president’s sincerity is whether he demands investigations of corruption everywhere it exists, or only in Ukraine. In the hearing, Republicans failed to name any other country in which Trump has applied such pressure. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, an Illinois Democrat, asked one of the witnesses, acting U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bill Taylor, whether “irregular channels of diplomacy” like the one Trump deployed in Ukraine had been used by the administration anywhere else in the world. “I’ve not heard of any other separate channel that has this kind of influence,” said Taylor.
2. The reform gap. Taylor and George Kent, the deputy assistant secretary of state responsible for Ukraine, testified that U.S. anti-corruption policy traditionally focuses on building honest institutions: police, investigators, prosecutors, and courts. Kent described specific steps to advance this mission in Ukraine. Republicans offered no evidence that Trump ever expressed interest in these steps. Rep. Adam Schiff, the committee’s Democratic chairman, noted that Trump, in his call with Zelensky, never mentioned the principal reforms in Ukraine: “setting up an anti-corruption court or looking into corruption among oligarchs or companies in general.” Schiff pointed out that Trump instead pressed Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and other Democrats. Kent confirmed this account of the call.
3. The Yovanovich ouster. Kent testified that Marie Yovanovitch—the U.S. ambassador Trump removed from Kyiv after she opposed the partisan meddling of Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani—had fought resolutely against corruption in Ukraine. Republicans didn’t even try to present a more charitable explanation for her removal. Instead, Republican Rep. John Ratcliffe of Texas argued that “all ambassadors serve at the pleasure of the president” and that it wasn’t an abuse of power “to remove an ambassador for political reasons because you don’t like what they’re doing.” This line of argument all but concedes Trump’s crooked motives.
4. The Pentagon certification. Republican Rep. Chris Stewart of Utah said the president was entitled to suspend aid to Ukraine based on the National Defense Authorization Act. “Availability of funds under assistance to the Ukraine—it has to be certified,” Stewart observed, quoting the law. “And what has to be certified? Quote, ‘For the purposes of decreasing corruption.’ ” But Kent pointed out that “the secretary of defense had already certified that that conditionality had been met.” By ignoring this certification, Trump proved his talk of corruption was insincere.

State Dept. watchdog: Official's firing was case of political retaliation
A career State Department employee was forced out of her job on baseless accusations that she opposed President Trump, was loyal to the Obama administration and was guilty of compromised objectivity due to her Iranian ethnicity, according to an inspector general report released Thursday.

Just wondering if you guys and gals are going to admit you're wrong this time when it's all done or are we just going to forget this whole thing happened too and sweep it under the rug like everything else.
