CBS News has learned NSC's Senior Director for European Affairs Tim Morrison was on the Trump-Zelensky call and told the investigating committees, "I want to be clear, I was not concerned that anything illegal was discussed."

@14:24 - I think it was Bandy Lee who was talking about the enmeshment of the three Trump children with Donald, that none of them is truly separate psychologically, that the way his mental illnesses affected the family mean that they’re just extensions of him.

I guess my classification of her as trash is accurate.

If you've never studied the constitution or the rules of the offices of government, it is too easy to be swayed by the noise and liars on social media.

No, they don't care.

Beat me to it. Look at the right wingers on this thread - impervious to facts.

Some things never change, dad!

Can we call her trash? Is that allowed? Because Princess Ivanka, unelected, unsecure nepotistic gore who has been doing foreign relations when Daddy gets too tired to finish a phone call is entitled to literally no opinion on this.

I don't think we should pick on victims of incest and child rape. Trump made her what she is.

Maybe someone should share other Hamilton quotes with Ivanka. The TJ quote was with respect to Aaron Burr. Ironic.

That seems very quidproquo-y.

When Taylor was asked if it was a quid pro quo, he replied, "I don't speak Latin."

Good.
And, the American voters can see just how unfair this process really is. Just wait.

Please tell me what is unfair about this. I need specifics, and not just because Trump or any of his cronies said so.

I’m still waiting...

My, my! How the GOP whines when the tables are turned!

I guess we'll see what happens when Bolton openly confirms "Guilaini's drug deal" before the world.

And, Pelosi said impeachment needs to be bipartisan. She lied.
We need to get her out of the speaker position and reinstate a Republican.

How bi-partisan was impeachment for a blowjob?

That is what this is all about?

The vote was on the rules for the debate. It is telling that not one Republican voted for the inquiry to move forward since there were Republicans in the secret inquiry. None of those Republicans, who heard the testimony, voted for this. ZERO.

As of the talking point, you idiots are pressing, this vote on the rule isn't "the vote Republicans wanted" and you know it.

God bless America.
