Ms. Hill is really changing the scope of this investigation.....

[OAITW r.2.0]

Clearly, Russia is behind the fabricated lies about Crowdstrike/Burisma. Which means?

I really wonder if Putin didn't deliver the gameplan to Trump in that secret Helsinki meeting.

1. What an Impressive Lady

[dewsgirl]

2. I believe you are correct.

[ScratchCat]

3. I hope they can pivot from

"What he did", which was the extortion/bribery scheme, to "Why he did it", which is obviously "at Putin's direction". This is how you get conviction in the Senate.

4. Time for Americans to face the fact: Trump* & Co. are a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Kremlin...

...and even worse, most of the Congressional members of the GOP* are not only aware of this ugly fact, but are enablers, and even worse, some are even ACCOMPLICES.

[OAITW r.2.0]

7. Absolutely correct. We are at a fundamental moment in our history.

It's like the Republicans are "all in" with their Putin bet.....we have met it and it's time to show the cards!

[DENVERPOPS]

16. It is that time in history.......

Everyone in this nation should be watching this like there is no tomorrow for Americans and Democracy, because indeed that might be exactly what is happening.

Dr. Hills testimony is BLISTERING...............

[NewJeffCT]

5. Dr. Hill

she earned it

[Wounded Bear]

6. We don't really know how often or how many times Trump talks to Putin...

It would certainly be interesting to figure out the extent of Trump's communications with Putin.

[OAITW r.2.0]

8. Helsinki should have been the nation's wake-up call. I wonder why the 40% Trump supporters

keep hitting the snooze button.

[Raster]

10. It is no longer hyperbole to call tRumpism* and tRumpists* a cult and it's members...

...their behavior is beyond logic and reason. Our American experiment is in great jeopardy.

[DENVERPOPS]

19. I am positive

I am positive that he has some secret "back channel" with a direct line to Putin. Nothing else explains all his timely mis-behavior......

It is ludicrous that Americans have to worry about Putin, AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.........

[FakeNoose]

21. Yes and it's called an unsecured cellphone

Chump needs to be in jail - 9 ways to Sunday.

[Wounded Bear]

22. I'm pretty sure the Hot Line that Kennedy installed in the Oval Office is still there...

doesn't really need to rack up the cell minutes.

[backtoblue]

9. Clear testimony that solidifies congress needs the whole Mueller report

It is an issue of national defense that congress have access to the entire, unredacted report.

[hvn_nbr_2]

11. Republicans used to get their daily talking points from Rove. Now it's from Putin & GRU/KGB.

Gotta wonder if Rove was getting his from Putin all along.

[Martin Eden]

12. Bribery and TREASON

Trump's tax records could very well provide the connection to Putin and the Russian mob, via Deutsche Bank.

[DENVERPOPS]

20. It has already been shown

that the money was flowing from Russia, China, the Saudi's, etc to the NRA to the PAC's for Trump and other key Republican Senators.

[czarjak]

13. "Russia, if you're listening"...

Might have been a clue?

[NonPC]

14. Tapes

Did Putin buy the Epstein tapes on Trump?

[triron]

15. All part of a grand bargain between Trump and Putin.

[Hekate]

17. I'm in the wrong time zone to see all the critical morning stuff & I rely on wrap-ups & reruns...

And of course, DU.

Yesterday I watched waaaay too much Sondland and was exhausted. Right now I've got the tv on with the sound off, waiting for the Republicans to shut up. What I've seen of Dr. Hill though is impressive.

Speaking of the Republicans, has their affect or behavior changed at all? Any signs of deflation or depression? One can hope.
