Take a formal vote on the inquiry. Issue subpoenas instead of requests. I’m sick of this already.

I want to read Boom’s J Peterman write up about the table.

I think it's cute that they all have little paper identifiers. Except for Trump, it seems.

It is amazing how so many of these things go from, "we didn't do it" to "we did it and it's no big deal."

I was just noting how everyone else at that table has some form of pen and notepad in front of him or her except Trump. But I imagine this probably isn't uncommon for the sitting POTUS. What kind of notes does he need to take? But regardless, I'm taking it as proof that Trump can't read or write.

I'll be damned. I tried to Google it earlier, saw a listing for "Table Tents" and figured I just picked stupid search words.

I desperately need a Photoshop ace to add a box of crayolas and a Big Chief pad in front of Il Douché.

“Son of a bitch, he got fired.”
Quid pro quo, or not?

If there was a quid pro quo, which is still to be established, one must determine the nature of the pro quo. The Biden interaction is an interaction that illustrates it. If the pro quo is: take action the US wants you to take = that is the nature of all political interactions. We give you money, and you act in accordance with US interests. If the pro quo is: take action for the sole advantage of the political power wielded making the request = that is a very different matter.
The Biden and Trump situations are remarkably parallel. In the best light for both, they are asking another nation to investigate its own corruption as a requirement for US support, and their own personal benefits are ancillary. In the worst light, they are asking another nation to take action for their own personal benefits under the guise of US interests.
House has the votes necessary, so take the vote. Open the inquiry formally. Stop making informal requests and start issuing subpoenas. Haggle the subpoenas in front of some judges and let’s get to it. Let’s find out what happened.

Trump was trying to find out on behalf of country that Russia was the party that hacked Hillary server.
Wouldn't the Democrats want to know that?

If there was a quid pro quo, which is still to be established... Is the chief of staff openly admitting it not established enough?
