House Democrats release first transcripts from impeachment probe | TheHill



"House Democrats on Monday released the first set of transcripts from their closed-door depositions as part of the impeachment inquiry into President Trump.

The interview transcripts with former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch and top State Department official Michael McKinley offer the first look at what witnesses told investigators about Trump’s contacts with Ukraine. The release marks a new phase for the Democrats' impeachment inquiry into whether the president pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to open investigations into his political rival, former Vice President Joe Biden.

“As we move towards this new public phase of the impeachment inquiry, the American public will begin to see for themselves the evidence that the committees have collected. With each new interview, we learn more about the President’s attempt to manipulate the levers of power to his personal political benefit," the chairs of the House Intelligence, Foreign Affairs and Oversight and Reform committees wrote in a joint statement.

“The transcripts of interviews with Ambassadors Yovanovitch and McKinley demonstrate clearly how President Trump approved the removal of a highly respected and effective diplomat based on public falsehoods and smears against Ambassador Yovanovitch’s character and her work in support of long-held U.S. foreign policy anticorruption goals," they added."




Oh man... This does not look good at all for Trump. The Republicans can't attract the process anymore. They are going to have to answer to stone cold facts

Time for the "so what?" phase.
 
I've already encountered the first trump supporter bitching and moaning about the deposition: "It's too much reading."

Seriously. I didn't make that up.
 
So, how do we know ALL the facts have been released? Are we supposed to just take Schiff's word for it?

How many never ending treadmills can conspiracy theorists run on?

The Repubs will simply agree to some version of the facts, but insist it doesn't meet the bar for impeachment.

The GOP are hitting the point where they cannot argue the facts anymore. The facts are overwhelming. The narrative will be encompassing. So, the GOP recourse will be to keep moving the bar for impeachable conduct higher & higher. Let's face it - infinity never ends. They can raise the bar forever! Actually, they can raise it as high as their voters allow them. Which I suppose, indeed is infinity! Plus one!

Apparently the only bad thing to the gop is being a liberal.
 
Show us the bombshell in the transcript.
wait, let me get this....are you, who started posting in this thread as a conspiracy theorist, trying to engage in serious, rational, fact based debate? I've already seen that movie.

I think it has been you and other CT's who have been whining about the lack of transparencies to show what is wrong with our narrative.

Can't do it. Can you? Because there isn't one.

Go read the ****ing thing - goddamn.

You know, in all my time involved in discussing politics, as a "leftist" I am -always willing- to read and watch and listen to anything the opposing side says.

I've never, ever seen a republican or very conservative person willingly do the same.

Y'all are just impossible.

Go read the ****ing transcript, I am not looking forward to hearing you parrot baloney trash talking points from Tuckface or some other faux nooz host tomorrow.

Go read it and get informed.

The bar would seem to be something that actually occurred.
The money was released. No strings attached.
