Scoop: GOP outlines theory of impeachment defense in memo to members
Read the memo
Republicans on the three House committees conducting the Trump-Ukraine investigation have settled on "four key pieces of evidence" that they claim will undermine Democrats' arguments for why the president should be impeached, according to a staff memo circulated to committee members Monday night.
Why it matters: The first public hearings of the impeachment inquiry will take place this week. The Republican memo previews how committee members plan to defend Trump on the substance of the Ukraine allegations, in addition to the "process" attacks on the Democratic-led inquiry that have defined much of the GOP's defense strategy thus far.
Details: The Republicans claim these four pieces of evidence are "fatal" to the allegations that Trump used military aid to pressure Ukraine to investigate his political opponents.
Between the lines: The memo fails to consider counterarguments that Democratic members have been making in the media for weeks.

Between the lines: The memo fails to consider counterarguments that Democratic members have been making in the media for weeks.
- For example, it cites witnesses like Bill Taylor, the top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine, to bolster the argument that Ukraine was not aware of the hold on military aid. It does not, however, address the core claims at the heart of several explosive testimonies.
- Chief among them is the fact that top officials involved in Ukraine policy, including Taylor and EU Ambassador Gordon Sondland, were under the impression that there was a quid pro quo involving aid, and that they communicated that understanding to their Ukrainian counterparts.
- Multiple witnesses have corroborated that this is the case, testifying they were disturbed that Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani was leading a shadow foreign policy outside the normal channels of government.

Mick Mulvaney Changes Course, Says He No Longer Plans to Sue Over Impeachment Inquiry
(WASHINGTON) — White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said Tuesday that he no longer plans to sue over the House impeachment proceedings and will instead follow President Donald Trump’s directions and decline to cooperate.
It’s the latest reversal in position by Mulvaney, who last week asked to join the lawsuit of another Trump adviser before changing his mind Monday and saying that he intended to bring his own case. It appears to resolve once and for all a four-day legal dispute that exposed divisions among current and former Trump administration officials about how best to respond to Democratic demands for cooperation and testimony.

His fucking lips are surgically attached to Trump's ass, he keep tearing the stitches off trying to get away.

President Trump has discussed dismissing the intelligence community’s inspector general, Michael Atkinson, because Mr. Atkinson reported a whistle-blower’s complaint about Mr. Trump’s interactions with Ukraine to Congress after concluding it was credible, according to four people familiar with the discussions.

For my political scholars on the board...just how compromised are we from a political standpoint?(i already know China can pull the plug at any time and cripple our economy)
Also, how long will it take for us to undue this mess?
What are you talking about. Trump has the United States in the most secure position of power it has ever been in. Period! Anything else is fake news. China ain't nothing but Mexico east to the might US. Trump is the light of Zartha and the 4th part of the holy trinity.
Best beard everSpeaking of the light of Zartha....I might vote for Booker just off of this...
Man I hope that this silly unqualified clown doesn't get impeached. This has been the most lit and confusing presidency in history. What would America do without this buffoon.
I'd finally be able to catch up on shit that I've recorded and get back to gaming more …. this is the most political tv that I've ever watched in the last three years ….. it's an unending spectacle …. if he gets elected again ….. I don't even want to think about it ….. even if he doesn't get reelected … the shit show circus of trials and him and his devil spawn and Kushner getting thrown in prison …...
sidebar: and all the other complicit fucks too
...you OK this post with @MASTERBAKER, "Lord of the Trump memes" ...

well trumps ego is on trial not trump the person/president....he fucked up and got caught he's a desperate man that needs another 4 yrs
to avoid (criminal) prosecution...this impeachment is a strategy that is being well played by the dems...so even if he doenst get impeached
by the senate now the american people can see for them selfs how the repugs are obstructing for the president for his crimes....
Oh he's getting impeached. It's just a matter of whether or not the Senate will remove him.
This is Muller Report 2.0. You need 20 GOP senators to go along with the democrats. Which all know won't happen.
Trump Poll numbers have not been effected. So this is a bunch of nothing burger that will rally his base.
I'm not worried about his base. I'm worried about independents, members of the military and their families. After his actions in Syria, sending troops to Saudi so quickly and this, it has to have a negative effect on their votes.
I hate this guy as much Ted Cruz which is hard to do. Two scum bags who I’d hire the FAMU marching 100 for their funerals
gott damm ambassador taylor opening just laid out to whole process.....thats was straight too the point....
No begins 45 mins of shit..
We will see what happens with the Senate he has already pissed some of them off by attacking them, and Mitch first chance he can get to stab 45 in the back with cleanly believe me he will. Cause if they have to choose between their political power and 45 you know what they will choose.
Fuck his base though. It has always been a given that they not only drank the koolaid...they are mainlining the koolaid. They would indeed support him after that 5th Ave shooting. The senate is also a known quantity.
The important thing is to get the information out in public for everybody to hear so this shit will hang around his neck like an albatross and perhaps shift some independents and give some non-voters in a few states a reason vote.

The Senate won't - but he'll have this on his record. He'll be a complete and utter monster in his second term for sure. Buckle up.
Lol Republicans are so fucking desperate and disingenuous
How are you going to expose trump? the man got caught saying he likes to grab women by there pussy on tape and the democrats still lost.
So unless you have tape of him offering money and its only 2nd hand information, Its not going to have a effect.
The Democrats are following the same playbook of 2016, in which all they did was talk about how bad trump is and not focus on they're candidates message. Which is why they lost. Talk about Jobs and how your going to grow the economy. Not a witch hunt that has gotten you nothing.
That motherfucker was/is looking constipated as shit, him and Meadows ….. I wish he would die …. I'd love to see him lose his seat next election he's in ….

The candidates running for president are talking about that stuff if you've been paying attention. You or I may or may not agree with their solutions, but they are talking about jobs, the economy, healthcare, etc. This is the House of Representatives, and the constitution spells out what their jobs are, and this is one of them.
This can have an effect on the margins, and that's what I'm looking for. The candidates for 2020 and the eventual nominee will be the ones talking all of that other stuff. This committee running the impeachment hearing... this is their job. I don't understand why there is any misunderstanding of that.
...and the white house is worried about it. If not, why are they blocking people and information from getting to the committee?
Remember Blunt? Everybody here knew he was an asshole and probably a white dude. ...then somebody put all his information out there and the rest is history. Going by what you're saying, putting all his information out there was stupid, because we all already knew what he was about.
