Schiff: Shoving the call onto a separate computer system is pretty bad, I think we need to find out what else the WH did to squash records of this phone call

His tap dancing around answering Schiff's questions is just weird at this point. Anyone who has served this country as long as this guy has should be willing to stand up and say, "Yeah, the president using his office to extort a foreign leader to help him win an election is REALLY REALLY BAD" Between that and the insistence that Trump didn't direct him makes me uncomfortable. Is he being threatened? Is he trying to dance around so he doesn't incriminate someone else? Like wtf

Now Schiff comes back with the "Crime/Fraud Exception" THIS! Why on earth did he go to the WH about this? Privilege doesn't cover this.

Schiff: the WB talked about Giuliani being a one man diplomacy brigade. That's probably not Kosher, eh? Do you agree with Bob Mueller that this is unethical, unpatriotic, and probably a crime?
Maguire: "I believe that Mr Giiuiani is the president's personal lawyer" and therefore attorney-client privilege
That may not actually be true! There's no evidence that Trump pays Rudi for his criminal vampiring so there's no privilege!

Schiff is rounding out the hearing by praising Mr Maguire's character but questioning how his actions might have a chilling effect on other potential whistleblowers. He also praises the bravery of the WB.

Schiff is SO GOOD.
He's saying what message does it send to a country with whom we're working to root out corruption whene the president of the united states corruptly abuses his power to apply pressure to their leader?

Do we think that there will eventually be a corroborating witness? Is that the only way we can avoid a "but the WB didn't actually hear any of this in person" BS from the GOP? Or are all the WH officials all in on the orange fucknut in the ill fitting suit?

I'm hoping another WB will come out from the NSC who was actually on the call.

And even if it didn't, Schiff has the authority to subpoena Atkinson to name names (and I assume that's what happened in the closed testimony last week)

Pompeo is really good at never knowing what is going on so he conveniently can't answer any questions about it

Pompeo's somewhere taking questions. Hasn't had a chance or doesn't want to read it because he knows it's bad? I got my three kids up, fed, dressed and out the door by 8am and still had a chance to read it.

the Steele Dossier! Drink! I'm drinking coffee but feeling the pull towards wine already. Too early? Mimosas make day drinking okay.
