Republicans were dodging questions about the Chief Extortionist’s tweet yesterday but the winner is John Ratcliffe.

Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas) quickly whipped out his cell phone and began talking into it, even though his home screen was visible and there was no call in progress,

“I would now feel compelled to ask you, Madam Ambassador, as you sit here before us, very simply and directly, do you have any information regarding the president of the United States accepting any bribes?” Stewart asked, according to Fox News.

“No,” Yovanovitch said.

War crimes now a conservative value. Nice job MAGATS.

Progressives value Taliban and ISIS more than U.S. Military members. Pat Tillman initial investigation ring a bell?

That's the point of the impeachment trial to determine that. That answer didn't take away from the case against Trump bribery and extortion in the slightest. She is there as a material fact witness, not a legal opinion witness.

There has been a lot of talk in right wing circles that questioned the purpose of Ambassador Yovanovitch's testimony in making the case for impeachment. One of the main purposes is that it calls into question the President's motives and intentions, particularly with regard to fighting corruption in Ukraine. In the ambassador we have a person of high integrity and competence dedicated to fighting corruption. Using a smear campaign full off falsehoods as justification, Trump removes her, actually increasing the likelihood of corrupt practices in the Ukraine government. This just further bolsters the view that his extortion tactics to bring about investigation into the Bidens was purely for selfish political reasons and not part of some larger fight against corruption in general. Of course the phone call from Trump to Sondland, overheard by Holmes, further corroborates this. Now we all know that Trump only cares about "big stuff," such as the "Biden investigation" . If he cared about more, he wouldn't have removed the ambassador, and he certainly wouldn't have gone on a childish smear campaign, which he felt the need to continue during her testimony.

What’s your point? I know it’s a shock to your low info brain, but no claim was ever made that she had knowledge. That is not why she testified. If you want direct knowledge tell your Pussygrabber hero to come out from hiding or at the least send some rube with evidence that will exonerate him. Oh that’s right, there isn’t any such evidence.

Doesn’t it sometimes make you almost want to give up providing facts to these low info trumpeteers who still think this is a trial?

I was being flippant due to frustration my wife is experiencing from her Clampettesque relatives on Facebook. I am so glad I never joined that social media site.

No idea what you’re trying to say but this is a typical example of conservative respect for a man who never wanted his identity to be used for propaganda.
