  1. If Rudy Giuliani is the personal attorney of Donald Trump, then his statements and actions in the course of representing Donald Trump are attributable to Donald Trump himself.

    1. @The Great Owl Hopefully buddy had an epiphany. Or maybe started taking his/her meds. Or the Russian bot ran into a syntax error trying to make up further bullshit excuses. 😂

    2. @The Great Owl – The Democrats’ll Straight Dance a Jig with The People who’$ Children and Teen$ They Label As “Black Super Predator$!”
      No Foundational Black American Tangible Reparation $lavery Pay?
      No! Black!Vote$! 2020! – $$$!

    1. Vital Signs – I know. Moscow must be giving out extra bonuses for largest volume. Trump sheep are working overtime.

  2. As a Marine veteran, it warms my heart to know that there are still some true American patriots out there who are still willing to resist, still willing to stand-up and speak truth to power. Patriots who still believe in putting country first. Patriots who still believe in serving a cause greater than themselves. Patriots like Dr. Fiona Hill, Ambassador Bill Taylor, Ambassador Yovanovitch, Lt.Col. Vindman, David Holmes, Jennifer Williams, and others. To all of these patriots, and others out there like them, I salute you.

    1. @Thomas Armsworthy Jr YES there is. Gosh read !!! Sorry that you feel the way you do. But really. Take the anger out of it and just look at what this President is doing. Soon him and his family will just move to Russia and be happy. Can’t wait. But I don’t want to live here like they live in Russia.. I like freedom. He really has ruined me enough. So I can’t complain anylonger I just can’t afford for NOW MY roof, any more Dr appt s or copay s until we get a fair President… Democrat or Republican. As long as it’s NOT Trump anylonger. He was NOT FOR ALL OF THE PEOPLE! Then maybe I can remove my bucket s and then get back on track. I am not rich I am disabled if I could WORK believe ME I would. I really would. It’s depressing to fall this far and not be able LIKE I used to …to handle everything!! I have no one to hand me money or HELP. Everyone is gone.. I just buried my only SON 27 due to a brain anumsrym. So that’s it.. I will wait. Or until they take my house for taxes because the funeral WAS NOT cheap for a single MOM thank God I was kinda smart enough to ONLY have the ONE I could afford to raise ON my own . because I worked 2 JOB s all my life. Paid for my son college raised a great fine young 27yr old to HAVE everything JUST BACK TO nothing. O WELL. Fml. That s my luck. That’s my life. But the RICH can GET Richer. So can Trump and his kids. Fffff the struggling people. Or maybe I should SIT ON THE corner in the snow with a can

    2. Thanks for your service. It seems that many serving in the military are often GOP. Do you see this changing at all with Trump’s repeated attacks on individual veterans such as Vindeman and previously John McCain, as well as his recent betrayal of the Kurds? GOP’s attack on American intelligence community and wholesale swallowing of Russian propaganda contradicts everything the GOP used to stand for. Do you notice any change of opinion toward GOP regarding this?

    3. The White House would do well to learn from all this that it’s not a palace, but that it is built on a foundation of other people propping it up. It’s a big mistake to think you are more important than your foundation. Especially if you piss it off.

      Thank you for your service, and for your wise words.

  3. Now that Team Trump are exposed as traitors, liars, and in violation of 52 U.S.C. Section 30121, the trolls are sure sounding pathetic… lol…. when are we gonna see Trump answer his nations call and testify publicly like the “most transparent president ever”?

  4. *FIRST HAND ADMISSIONS FROM THE KEY PLAYERS*

    *Zelensky:* We are almost ready to buy more *Javelins* from the United States for defense purposes.
    *Trump:* I would like you to do us a *favor* though…we would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say *Crowdstrike* … *Rudy* very much knows what’s happening and he’s a very capable guy. If you could speak to him that would be great…The other thing, There’s a lot of talk about *Biden’s son* , that *Biden* stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great.

    *Sondland:* Secretary Perry, Ambassador Volker and I worked with *Rudy Giuliani* on Ukraine matters at the *express direction* of the *president of the united states.*

    *Chris Cuomo:* So you did ask Ukraine to look into *Biden?*
    *Giuliani:* Of course I did!

    *Giuliani on Twitter:* The *investigation* I conducted concerning 2016 Ukrainian collusion and corruption, was done *solely* as a *defense attorney* to defend *my client* …

    *Giuliani to the NY Times:* *We’re* meddling in an *investigation* … *Trump* fully supports these *plans.*

    *Reporter:* What did you expect *Zelensky* to do after that phone call?
    *Trump:* Ukraine should start a *major investigation* into Biden.

    *Mulvaney:* Did he *(Trump)* also mention to me in the past the corruption related to *the DNC server?* Absolutely, no question about that, and that’s it, *that’s why we held up the money.*
    *Reporter:* But to be clear, what you just described is a *QUID PRO QUO* – *funding* won’t flow unless the *investigation* into the *Democratic server* happens aswell.
    *Mulvaney:* We do that all the time. I have news for everybody – get over it! There’s going to be *political influence* in foreign policy.

  5. Lev Parnas, an indicted associate of Rudy Giuliani, helped arrange meetings and calls in Europe for Rep. Devin Nunes in 2018, Parnas’ lawyer Ed MacMahon told The Daily Beast.

    Nunes aide Derek Harvey participated in the meetings, the lawyer said, which were arranged to help Nunes’ investigative work. MacMahon didn’t specify what those investigations entailed.

    Nunes should resign.

  6. I find the career diplomats and civil servants a lot more impactful than the political appointees. yesterday was a lot less dramatic than this input, notwithstanding all the sturm and drang that has been made of it.

    1. Tingle Matthews you are totally incorrect and its sad the gop is totally owned by corporate interests and lobbies. The nra is rife with russian money. See the maria butina case

    2. @David C Witkin I have a serious question: Is TDS just a naturally occurring ailment or is most of it drug induced? (I kinda already know the answer. Haven’t met a leftist yet that didn’t suffer from at least one painfully obvious mental condition. Add drugs and alcohol to the mix and the results are simply compounded.)

  7. So impressed with Fiona Hill and Holmes today. They are incredibly smart and articulate people. They weren’t afraid to call BS on Trump and the republicans. The Republicans should be worried after today. Thanks to these 2 patriotic Americans .

  8. Mr Holmes , thanks for your courage to stand up to hate & corruption 💪💪💪💪💪🏆🏆🏆🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷

  9. After all this window pane, concrete evidence against Trump administration today, He need to go live in a cave, and never even think about running for president…

  10. David Holmes is a powerful speaker. He appears to be an honorable man who would be a better president than Trump. To bad he is not a candidate.

    1. great speaker .. but that’s not the question
      question is: did he show quid pro quo .. or did he prove anything illegal ?? saying smthg is not the standard procedure as he would like it doesn’t make it illegal.
      saying he doesn’t approve Trump policies doesn’t make those wrong, we already know Trumps foreign policy is a roller coaster .. but where is the crime

  11. What this? I just heard a China Man on his cell phone across the room at a concert, he said President Xi is colluding with President Trump. I better tell Shifty Schiff. Lol.
