Russia expert and former White House adviser Fiona Hill told House impeachment investigators today she had warned Sondland that his effort in Ukraine "is all going to blow up." She believed he was conducting foreign policy on his own, without the knowledge of the NSC. Then she learned the truth: Sondland was acting on behalf of Trump in pressuring Ukraine to investigate the Bidens. David Holmes, an aide at the US embassy in Ukraine, is also testifying today. And Emperor Trump, as usual, is attacking Democrats and attacking the witnesses.

Adam Schiff today noted that Donald Trump, on the day after Robert Mueller released the report detailing Russian interference in our 2016 election, asked a foreign nation to interfere in our 2020 election. Schiff concluded, "There is nothing more dangerous than an unethical President who believes he is above the law."
CNN is reporting that House Democrats say they now have enough evidence to impeach Donald Trump. They would love to hear testimony from Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo, Mick Mulvaney and Rick Perry, all of whom heard the July 25 Trump-Zelensky phone call, but Trump has ordered them to not testify. Democrats will not seek their testimony and will move forward with impeachment. As MSNBC's Ari Melber points out, if any of those four could have offered any defense of Trump, we would have already heard from them. He also theorizes they don't want to lie to protect Trump (like Michael Cohen did) and wind up in jail (like Michael Cohen).

The idiotic conspiracy theory that Ukraine, not Russia, meddled in our 2016 Presidential election has been completely debunked. Emperor Trump's advisers told him so – but of course he never listens to his advisers. Trump continues to believe the conspiracy theory. He says he wanted Ukraine to investigate it. He also said he wanted to work with Ukraine to "root out corruption" but, as every impeachment witness has testified and no impeachment witness has denied, Trump didn't care about corruption or Ukraine but only about getting damaging information about the Bidens. Unfortunately for our nation, Trump's blindly loyal lackeys in Congress continue to support him and defend him, no matter how many lies, false accusations, personal attacks and conspiracy theories it takes.

Withholding Congressionally-approved military aid and demanding a foreign country dig up dirt on a political opponent is, as Adam Schiff put it, "far more serious than a third-rate burglary of Democratic headquarters," referring to the 1973 Watergate scandal. Congressional Republicans have now heard all the testimony and they still march in lockstep in support of Emperor Trump, who is a dangerous, deranged, delusional, irrational, erratic, self-serving cult leader – and they are the blindly loyal followers who worship him almost as much as he worships himself. Trump has destroyed the Republican party and Trump is destroying America – and the Republicans let him do it. This is one of the darkest periods in our nation's history.

"This was a great week for the hoax. You know the hoax? The impeachment hoax." Thus spake Emperor Trump. He obviously knows absolutely nothing about the Constitutional process of impeachment. All he knows is: it's about him. Everything is about him. A lengthy phone interview this morning on Fox News' Fox & Friends was filled with falsehoods. Trump said Ukraine is corrupt. A lie. Trump said Ukraine meddled in our election. A lie. Trump said his call with Zelensky was perfect. A lie. Trump said the whistleblower's complaint was false. A lie. Trump said he hardly knows Gordon Sondland. A lie. Trump said Obama spied on his campaign. A lie. What is sad is that the blindly loyal Trump supporters who watch Fox News believe everything he says.

Letter from Terry Sternberg of West Hills in today's Los Angeles Times:
"Trump supporters fall all over themselves to honor our service members, thanking them for their service at every opportunity. Given Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman's statements, it seems their gratitude now might need to come with a qualifier: 'Thank you for your service – unless, of course, you testify, truthfully or not, in a manner harmful to the President.'"

Joe Biden made a false assumption: He assumes Lindsey Graham has a conscience. Actually, I don't think any Congressional Republicans have a conscience. If they did, they would value the Constitution, the rule of law and the integrity of our elections more than they value Trump and the Republican party. Sadly, every one of them – every one – puts Trump first. They absolutely worship the leader of their cult.

The hearings may not be over. There is speculation that former National Security Adviser John Bolton will finally agree to testify before House impeachment investigators. Indicted Giuliani associate Lev Parnas has "first-hand information" and wants to testify. House Democrats hope to file articles of impeachment before Christmas. A trial would then be held in January in the Senate.
