"There is nothing more dangerous than an unethical President who believes he is above the law," declared Adam Schiff today at the Democratic Party Fall Endorsing Convention in Long Beach. I would add that the blindly loyal Republican Congressmen who continue to support and defend Trump and refuse to hold him accountable for his actions are equally as dangerous. They are his enablers.

Emperor Trump loves Vladimir Putin and Russia. Vladimir Putin and Russia love Emperor Trump. By saying he doesn't "give a s**t about Ukraine," Emperor Trump has given Vladimir Putin and Russia even more reason to love him. Emperor Trump is a Russia sympathizer and a traitor to the United States of America and the Republican Congressmen who support him are just as bad.

Trump will never testify before House impeachment investigators, for the same reason he refused to testify during the Mueller investigation: He knows he would be under oath, he knows he's the world's biggest liar and he knows he'd be charged with hundreds of counts of perjury.

Many of the witnesses who have testified in the House impeachment investigation have served for several decades under Presidents of both parties but because they're telling the truth and Emperor Trump hates the truth, Trump is denouncing all the witnesses as "Never Trumpers." In Trumpworld, anyone, regardless of political beliefs, who is not willing to lie to protect Trump is a "Never Trumper." Trump attacked Marie Yovanovitch while she was testifying. Today he's attacking Jennifer Williams. Trump believes he's above the law and therefore has every right to bully, threaten, attack, insult and intimidate witnesses. To me, the bullying, threatening, attacking, insulting and intimidating are examples of "high crimes and misdemeanors."

Fifty-one percent of Americans now say Trump should be impeached and removed from office. Only 25% say Trump has done nothing wrong – and that statistic tells me that 25% of Americans are Republicans, whose policy is "See no evil in Trump, hear no evil about Trump, speak no evil about Trump."

In 1974 the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that President Nixon had to turn over tape recordings and other subpoenaed materials to a federal district court. Lower courts have consistently ruled against President Trump as he seeks to ensure we never see his tax returns – What is he hiding? – but Trump has stacked the Supreme Court with pro-Trump justices whom he can count on to disregard the law and disregard precedent and issue rulings in his favor. Thus.......

With today's release of the transcripts of closed-door testimony given by Undersecretary of State David Hale and US Embassy adviser David Holmes, the House has now released the transcripts of 15 of the 17 witnesses who have testified before impeachment investigators. Twelve of those 17 are also giving public testimony. Holmes, who was listening in on the July 26 phone call during which Sondland assured Trump that Ukraine was going to "move forward" with an investigation of the Bidens, will give public testimony Thursday. Jennifer Williams and Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman, who heard Trump's July 25 call asking Zelensky for a "favor," will give public testimony tomorrow. Six other federal officials, including Sondland (unless he pleads the fifth) will testify this week.
All 17 officials, many of whom have served for several decades under Presidents of both parties, are sworn to tell the truth, under penalty of perjury. They've given damning details of Trump's abuse of power: withholding military aid from a foreign country until they agree to dig up dirt on his political opponent. Donald Trump, who, per the Washington Post, has told more than 13,000 lies since he's been in office, insists he's done nothing wrong. Trump's blindly loyal Republican lackeys can no longer pretend he didn't make the quid-pro-quo offer, so they've changed their tactics. They now acknowledge he did indeed ask a foreign government to interfere in our 2020 election but, hey, ain't nothin' wrong with that – and using the office of the Presidency for personal gain is certainly not an impeachable offense. It's a shame Republicans can't care about the United States of America the way they care about Emperor Trump.

Emperor Trump has been attacking all the witnesses, including State Department officials, who testify in the House impeachment inquiry. He spreads lies and slander and calls them "Never Trumpers." Secretary of State Mike Pompeo could speak out in support of the witnesses but he refuses to. His loyalty is to Emperor Trump and nobody else. Many current and former State Department officials have expressed disgust that Pompeo will not stand up for them. They blame him for a steep drop in morale. Now let's hear from Pompeo's predecessor:

Congressional Republicans care about Trump and their party, nothing else. Their guiding principle is: "See no evil in Trump, hear no evil about Trump, speak no evil about Trump." They can not and will not ever admit Trump has done anything wrong. They've come up with at least 22 different lies to avoid having to acknowledge Trump is guilty of abuse of power. Yes, they lie to protect Trump – and you can be certain Emperor Trump is proud of them for doing so.

Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman is the Director for European Affairs for the United States National Security Council. He served with the Army in South Korea, Germany and Iraq. He earned ten badges, medals and awards, including a Purple Heart and two Meritorious Service medals. On October 29, he testified before House impeachment investigators, expressing his alarm that President Trump would ask a foreign government to investigate a political rival. Today, Vindman is giving public testimony. "I don't know who Vindaman is," Trump said, mispronouncing Vindman's name. There have been several witnesses whom Trump claims to not know – and yet he still denounces them as "Never Trumpers." Welcome to Trumpworld.

Vindman seems to be the first official to express alarm about the Trump-Zelensky phone call. "Improper," he said of Trump's demand that a foreign government interfere in our 2020 election. Devin Nunes and the other Republicans continue to use the familiar Trumpian tactics of "divert, distract, distort and disparage." They're shamelessly – and falsely – accusing Vindman of being loyal to Ukraine and they're continuing to demand to know the identity of the whistleblower. What they are not doing is addressing Trump's abuse of power by withholding military aid and pressuring a foreign government to investigate a political rival.

Emperor Trump, with zero evidence, denounces as a "Never Trumper" each witness who testifies in the House impeachment investigation. He knows he can never explain, or even admit to, his abuse of power. Instead, he just attacks everyone who tells the truth about him. Today, Republican Representative Jim Hines, who, same as Trump, attacks the witnesses instead of addressing Trump's abuse of power, asked a question of Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman: "Trump called you a Never Trumper. Are you a Never Trumper?" Vindman replied, "I'd call myself never partisan." Good for him!
On November 3, Trump told reporters he would release "evidence" to prove Vindman is a Never Trumper. Yeah, just like he promised to release his taxes and promised to release "evidence" that proves every one of his female accusers is lying. Trump is a "Never Truthful."

This afternoon, Emperor Trump tweeted, "Today is a great day for Republicans." Apparently there are no televisions in Trumpworld, the land of delusions, and Emperor Trump is completely unaware that former envoy Kurt Volker today changed his testimony and confirmed that military aid to Ukraine was indeed put on hold until Ukraine agreed to investigate the Bidens and Burisma. Today is a great day for truth and facts.

Emperor Trump has been calling everyone who testifies a "Never Trumper." He hates it when people tell the truth about him. Funny thing, though: He hasn't (yet) hurled that epithet at Republican Kurt Volker or Republucan Tim Morrison. I wonder why.

If Republicans thought Kurt Volker and Timothy Morrison would bust the Democrats' case for impeachment, they likely were disappointed by what they heard today.
