Devin Nunes calling the Intelligence Committee’s fact-finding mission a cult is dispicable. I know about cults. Cults are led by maniacal narcissists who expect complete adoration and relinquishment of independent thought. I suggest Mr. Nunes look elsewhere.
In 1978, Speier was shot five times as a congressional staffer trying to save people from the cult at Jonestown. She survived after being left for dead on airstrip for 22 hours. Speier almost never talks about the experience, so this is a real rebuke of Nunes. https://t.co/2dasNaH4DM— Susan Hennessey (@Susan_Hennessey) October 31, 2019

Relying on a doctored transcript to undermine the testimony Lt Col Vindman is obstruction of justice. Vindman testified that transcript omitted reference to Burisma even though it was discussed in Trump call with Ukraine. This is like the missing 18 minutes of Watergate tapes.

John Yoo, tonight on @CuomoPrimeTime, claims that what he *really* meant was that it was the UKRAINIANS engaged in "espionage" when they reached out to the WH official in charge of...[checks notes]...UKRAINE in order to clarify POTUS' bizarro request. Sure, Jan. (and what?!?!)
Was Yoo similarly concerned whether Parnas and Fruman were engaged in "espionage" when they were mingling with Trump and Giuliani (and privately bragging to foreigners that U.S. Ambo in Ukraine would be removed well before was made official)?
