Update on today's schedule Here’s the sequence this afternoon: — 3p: pelosi meets w the chairmen — 3:30p: dem leadership meeting —4p: dem caucus meeting — 5p: pelosi statement. Expect impeachment to get much more real today, process fleshed out. They are working on a resolution wording to hit the floor tomorrow. Eh, I mean, good, but resolutions are toothless

I'm entirely certain it was my phone call this morning that prompted this 😆😜 Breaking: Senate Intel is opening up an investigation of the Ukraine whistleblower issue and seeking an interview with the whistleblower this Friday, @isikoff reports. t.co/0ryR3Ga6Ib

"Important to remember that the whistleblower reported multiple incidents, not just this phone call.
@repmikequigley said the IC inspector general told them "that this complaint was based on a series of events, ‘more than one’ to get the exact wordage right.”"

Yeah baby talk dirty to me
We have been informed by the whistleblower’s counsel that their client would like to speak to our committee and has requested guidance from the Acting DNI as to how to do so.
We‘re in touch with counsel and look forward to the whistleblower’s testimony as soon as this week.

Ok, I’m a CNN basher but this is great. I need them to put a big graphic with the length of time between these two statements and play this on repeat for a week.

Nancy said that even if there is no quid pro quo in the phone call just the act of asking a foreign nation for assistance is one of many of the candidates for impeachment.
Shes speaking (spoke? I dont know if this is live or time delayed a bit) at the Atlantic Festival. She said the above after they brought to her attention the tweet about the release of the phone call on stage.

45 says he is releasing the transcript tomorrow. Probably heavily redacted. ALso it feels like he is doing so because he has a childish feeling that if he doesn't he will be in trouble. LOL

Did I just see that Biden’s stance is no impeachment unless DT doesn’t cooperate? Really!? Not impressed.

How do we feel about a select committee vs leaving it to Judiciary?

I really wish he would just go enjoy some windsurfing with his buddy Barack. I wonder what BO thinks about this. Like, is someone holding him back from calling Biden and just being like, "bro, wtf?" Because he's GOT to be thinking it.

If this were 2017 I'd support a select committee but OGR and Judiciary have been doing stellar work and there's no reason to both step on their toes AND further delay I'm fence sitting. Watching how bad some of the questions were for Corey and then the spectacularness of the lawyer make me pause.
Is there something in the House Rules that says they can just have/yield time to someone like him? Because the five minute back and forth with have the GOP giving their time to Mcshirtsleeves makes me cringe.

They ABSOLUTELY can yield all time to Counsel or have Counsel go first My suspicion all along has been that the Republicans fight Nadler on that bc they want to be on Fox News

This plus listening to Thursday’s PSA where they broke down how inefficient it is to do questioning in 5 minute chunks has me very worried about leaving it up to judiciary. Even for the people trained and skilled at questioning - 5 minutes is tough.

Membership, staff and witnesses negotiate the terms of every hearing. So if Shouty McShirtsleeves and the 6 foot bottle of Axe hair gel have a temper tantrum about the rules, it's unlikely that Nadler is going to go to the mattresses for every single hearing. But I think it became obvious what has to be done now after the ridiculous spectacle of the Lewandowski hearing

And that some of the dem congresspeople are not go questioners (which is fine - not everyone is trained/skilled in that area)
