Senate GOP and WH sources say tonight they are confident that they will defeat a motion next week calling for a subpoena of witnesses and documents, saying they believe their conference is in line after the Democrats’ opening arguments.

They are likely to lose two votes initially, but it’s less certain they lose Murkowksi given her comments in recent days critical of Dems. Lamar Alexander continues to play coy, as do others like Shelley Moore Capito. But GOP leaders confident they won’t lose more than three

Bondy makes a logical assertion but his whole purpose, as it should be as his lawyer, is to protect Lev.

He spent so much of the interview pushing back on the assertion that Lev had anything to do with or gain from the ambassador's removal yet, he is the one who introduced the conversation and either can't or won't speak to where that information originated other than to throw Igor under the bus. I have a feeling Igor is going to tell a different story. Everyone in the room should be interviewed to corroborate all accounts with the video/audio.
Indeed the issue here is the timing and that it’s a year separated from her actual removal. You (talking generally) can’t get traction on this being a call for assassination and the target is still around a year later. It would be silly to do so if this tape is the depth of the the accusation.

That said there is plenty there otherwise that needs investigation.

This is true but it also applies to her firing. Why didn't the aide follow through? Why didn't he(Trump) follow through to ensure she was gone as been hinted at, she was a pain in their asses when it came to them navigating Ukraine.

But as we've been clued in on more of what the audio/video contains, we now know the ambassador isn't even the real story here, its his prior knowledge that taking away aid to Ukraine could be used to influence them.

I wouldnt doubt that he actually wanted something to happen to her so he could blame Ukraine. To further push them towards what he really wanted. He thinks he's a mobster though guy. Even if he did mean firing her....why say get rid of her? Why say she's going to go through some things? Why did she testify that she was told she had to come home for her safety? Years from it will come out. I hope some of these Republicans who are about to let him skate are around to feel the wrath of public ridicule.

Absolutely, and even more so because he has no finesse. Where as there were a lot of policies and bills that republicans over the last 2 decades have been dreaming about, but know if they were to push for them individually, they would get voted out next term with the quickness, Trump will push anything and everything in his power for some kind of quid pro quo that is in his personal interest. Look at healthcare, look at the tax reform, look at immigration, all 3 big ticket items, all three, under any other president in any other party would be fukking TOXIC enough to end any house member or senators career. Now they have someone that will take all their bullets for them, because their constituents are under a fukking spell. WE know, maybe a couple of dozen of us in here, know how fukking serious this is, and the long term affects of what has already been done, forget about what would happen if he got another term, but it seems like everybody else, MSM especially, are treating this like it’s not as big a deal as it really is, and they make it out to be some “palace intrigue” as opposed to the actual fall of a fukking empire that has been sped up. If it’s already signed, sealed, and delivered, I guess it will come to be, but, still, it’s so ticking depressing to watch the okey doke in real time, and not be able to do much about it.
trump may have a section of this country under a spell but these senators and house reps go back home and get harassed and taken to the cleaners by their constituents.

Is there any doubt this is going to be jumbled mess today?
As I posted earlier, the Rethugs can go up there and sing the Ducktales theme and they'd still maintain rank...

This Senate is an embarrassment of the highest order and shines a light at how broken the US government is right now...

There is no more country, its party vs party and whoever has control wins...

Trump has the Republican by their balls and t*ts. Im pretty sure he has instructed his goons to aquire dirt on all these pricks. I dont feel not kne bit sorry for them becuz they had plenty of opportunity to unhitch their wagon from this clowns. The shouldve backed off from him right after that tax reform.

You dont bet on a jackazz to win the Kentucky Derby.

Dark money needs to be removed from politics.

Trump is running the Republican party like a mob boss.

Naw he has a circle around him that worships him. He also turned the top Republicans into his hitchmen.

First political gangsta move he made was to put $15,000 a month into Moscow Mitch house by hiring Mitch's unqualified wife to head the secretary of transportation. Mitch has been bought by Trump since day 1. Not one damn Democrat complain about that being a conflict of interest.
