On Senate Republicans mulling a speedy impeachment trial, Leon Panetta says “I think what history will say is that this is the most depressing moment in the history of the United States Senate if they allow that to take place."

It seems like this Morrison wants to bury Vindman with innuendo. He seems like a guy who got his milk money taken from him everyday at school and now he is in a position to get even. What a baby!!!
Tillerson fires back at Haley: “There’s so many people still trying to serve the country, so when people write books that quickly after leaving, my guess is there’s two motivations: They need the money and they need the political future.” https://t.co/8TDeLiflVq
WATCH: Chuck Rosenberg: "This makes me very, very angry." Sec. Pompeo is carrying out “an act of abject cowardice” without a spine with a “complete failure of leadership” to stand up and defend his diplomats against attacks from the US president. https://t.co/2JhinlFs0Q
The @nytimes has reported that Ukrainian Pres. Zelensky was set to make a public announcement of the investigations sought by Pres. Trump on my @CNN program. So, I think I owe viewers my best understanding of what actually happened.
My take:
I don’t know whether this is for real, but I wouldn’t put it past Barr, master of the Big Lie. Joseph Goebbels, eat your heart out.

Lev Parnas says he told Ukrainian officials in May that unless they investigated Biden, Pence wouldn’t attend Zelensky’s swearing-in AND aid would be frozen. Giuliani’s current defense is, “I never told him to say that.” https://t.co/p4U1KFZvOF
Caller: We have a man with a mental health emergency at 1600 Pennsylvania.
Dispatcher: We’ll be right over . Is he a danger to himself or others? Does he have any weapons?
Caller: Just a few thousand nukes... He’s losing it ....

Text “Amend. 25” to @WhiteHouse
@raylytle Who in the world is Cole Lauterbach and who does he work for? Whenever he does a report, he talks in a low, subdued voice like he’s a spy. Also, why do you no longer accept Direct Messages?
Despite what Trump claimed today, the @nytimes did NOT report that Adam Schiff helped write the whistleblower's complaint. In fact, Schiff did not even know the whistleblower's identity, officials told the NYT. Read our story here: https://t.co/1Tukg5FxR2
May be a first of its kind for any presidential news conference:
Jeff Mason repeatedly asks Trump to clarify what he wanted Zelensky to do:
"Are you talking to me?" Practically yells at Mason to ask the Finnish leader a question instead; Rips "fake" and "corrupt" U.S. media.
@revmagdalen In 2017, I spoke at a conference where the president of Finland also spoke. I kept thinking about his talk today. He has all these serious concerns -- Russian aggression, climate crisis in the Arctic, global economic instability -- and he's stuck next to shrieking criminal POTUS
Dear @SecPompeo: Why are you and @realDonaldTrump so scared about what @StateDept officials want to tell Congress and the American people?
Also, it's illegal to retaliate against whistleblowers who seek to provide information to Congress.
Fact check: This is totally false. Schiff got a heads up that a significant whistle blower complaint had been filed with the CIA, and that the complainant was worried it wasn't being acted upon.
