You know good and well that Trump has blocked Pompeo, Bolton, Mulvaney, et al. He would have had them all blocked, but some came forward anyway. The Trump and the GOP have no ground to stand on with this one.

That is all that they know. Deflect, deflect, deflect!

Who knew about the WB's allegations at the time the aid was released? Your version of events doesn't match the timeline.

On September 9th, Atkinson, the inspector general of the intelligence community, notified the House Intelligence Committee that he received a whistleblower’s complaint relating to an “urgent concern” on Aug. 12. He says he found the information credible, and sent “his determination of a credible urgent concern” along with a copy of the complaint to Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire, who had seven days to forward the complaint to Congress. But, contrary to “past practice,” Maguire did not forward the complaint to Congress, believing “the allegations do not meet the definition of an ‘urgent concern’ under the [whistleblower] statute.”

Nope. He knew about it in August. And he released the aid within 48 hours of congress being alerted to its existence by the Inspector General for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

New polling shows impeachment backfiring on democrats in battle ground states.

Poll shows all democrats candidates for the presidential nomination losing by at least 6 percent in key battle ground states, and the majority of voters in those states do not support impeachment.

You can read the actual letter sent to Devin Nunes dated September 9, 2019 itself here:

Aid was released on September 11, 2019 - two days later.

What a sham show.

A Witness testifies then joins Nadler on the bench to question the other witness.

It's a corrupt hearing.
