I’m trying to understand Republican Congressmen. If they truly believe Donald Trump is innocent why are they behaving like a bunch of crazy people? When Hillary Clinton was being investigated for months & months, Dems didn’t storm the building. Why? Because they believed in her. - Ken Olin

The House Crashers Wanted to get Arrested
Some of the House Republicans who crashed the secure impeachment hearing Wednesday were apparently looking to get arrested.
According to Chad Pergram of Fox News, the Republicans who entered the Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) Wednesday — where Democrats were holding a hearing with Pentagon staffer Laura Cooper on matters related to Ukraine — asked to be arrested. According to Pergram, those Republicans were hoping to use the visual of being taken away to paint Democrats as abusing the process.

More Laws Against Abortion
Republicans in South Carolina have voted to proceed on a measure that would strip abortion exemptions in cases of rape or incest, and criminalise the procedure almost entirely as soon as a foetal heartbeat is detected.
The proposed bill is the latest attack on abortion rights throughout the United States, in an effort by conservatives keen on bringing the issue before the Supreme Court.

Impeachment deposition delayed after Republicans storm proceedings

Impeachment deposition delayed after Republicans storm proceedings
Dozens of House Republicans on Wednesday stormed the secure facility inside the Capitol where impeachment investigators have been deposing witnesses, forcing a delay to the proceedings on the heels of damning new revelations that could further imperil President Donald Trump.

Is it true that Article I, Section 5, of the US Constitution says the House can punish members for disorderly behavior and expel them, Madame Speaker?

I'm looking forward to the GOP complaining after the impeachment inquiry hearings are public that they should be private. - Pe' Resists tweet

The production arrangement is part of a larger $8.1 billion arms package for Saudi Arabia...

American Horrific

William Taylor testifies about deep-seated push for Ukraine quid pro quo
President Donald Trump’s top envoy to Ukraine told House impeachment investigators on Tuesday of intense efforts by administration officials to secure politically-motivated investigations of Trump’s rivals in exchange for a White House meeting with Ukraine’s president and critical military aid, according to sources in the room for the testimony.

So today Trump describes the impeachment inquiry as a 'lynching.' Poor victimized Trump: apparently orange really is the new black. ~ Rick, AHNC viewer

I Doubt Hillary Will Run for President. But This Country Needs Someone of Her Caliber To Clean Up Trump's Mess.
Hillary Clinton has told people privately that she would consider joining the 2020 Democratic primary, but only if she thought she could win.
The private conversations were aired publicly in a new report from The New York Times, which spoke with several people involved with Democratic politics, many of whom are concerned that the current crop of candidates is less than ideal.

Dear Lisa

So Gabbard is a Democrat "in name only"? What proof do you have of that?

Hillary is the one who was a Republican Goldwater girl, but you never call her a Democrat in name only.

Hillary is playing a stupid and dangerous game with these endless and baseless Russian accusations.

Why arent you calling her out for her delusions?

rich

I judge people by their record.

Hillary was a Republican when she was a teenager. Geez Louise

Hillary is an expert on Russia. She was correct about Trump and Russia in 2015 which is why I give great weight to her opinion.

Tulsi is praised by Russia, just watch Russia TV, she visited Assad behind Congress' back plus she voted against the Magnitsky Act (allows the US Government to sanction corrupt government officials implicated in abuses anywhere in the world) as did Bernie Sanders.

Research isn't that hard, rich.

A State Department probe of Hillary Clinton's emails found no deliberate mishandling of classified information. But I fully expect a GOP investigation to now be launched into whether her pantsuits were actually suits or if they were just coordinated separates! - Bette Midler

Inch by Inch, Step by Step, Pelosi is Locked and Loaded.
The four-page document accused the Trump administration of three stages of wrongdoing related to the president’s controversial July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ― a call that ultimately prompted Pelosi to launch an impeachment inquiry into Trump.
The fact sheet dubbed the three stages “the shakedown,” “the pressure campaign” and “the cover-up.”

Trump's Chief of Staff admitted military aid was withheld from an ally to get their help with an investigation, which could help Trump politically.
When challenged with this quid pro quo, Mulvaney said it happens all the time.

"Get over it," he said.
