      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      • That was quick:

        US President Donald Trump's adviser Roger Stone has been convicted on seven counts of lying to Congress, obstruction and witness tampering.
        The court heard he lied about his efforts to learn more about when WikiLeaks would publish damaging emails about Hillary Clinton in 2016.
        The jury returned its verdict on day two of deliberations in Washington DC.
        Witness tampering carries a sentence of up to 20 years in prison. The other counts can carry five years each.

          Can you provide a cite, please? Because Yovanovitch was just asked about that, and she conceded that the Ukrainians have the javelins.

          • So, Elsie Stevanik (R-NY) just did a masterful job taking Schiff to task for his partisan manipulation, with a followup by Jim Jordan.

            It was interesting to see Schiff sit there staring straight ahead, blinking like a frog in a hailstorm. I don't think he likes people standing up to his abuse of power.

              I believe they've butted heads on previous occasions.

              • Stewart: Do you have any information regarding the president of the United States accepting any bribes?

                Yovanovitch: No.

                Stewart: Do you any have information regarding any criminal activity that the president of the United States has been involved with at all?

                  Yeah, Yovanovitch confirmed again that the javelins were delivered and deployed in April of 2018, under questioning by Will Hurd (R-TX).

                    That aligns with how neither Taylor or Kent could not name a single thing that Trump did that was impeachable when they were asked that directly.

                      At this point, as so often happens in these hearings, both sides are simply pontificating and using the witness as an excuse to sound off. She frequently says "I have no knowledge of that" or "I suppose so" or expressing her own opinion about how things should have happened, but nothing damning.

                      John Ratcliffe (R-TX) is now honing in on the Hunter Biden situation, and how the Obama admin prepped her to answer those questions. (she didn't dispute that) He then asked about other corrupt Ukrainian companies she may have been prepped to speak to, and she couldn't name a single one. She's confirming that Biden had the prosecutor who was looking into Burisma fired just six hours after making the demand.

                      Now, Denny Heck is doing his own little "I'M ANGRY" drama show like one of his colleagues (Connecticut) did earlier.

                        Notice how, so far, the Democrats have been peppering the witness with questions asking her to speculate—about the President's motives, reasons, decisions, etc. There's a reason why they're doing this.

                        It's because the witness has no relevant information.

                          This is their 2020 election strategy. They have no viable candidates that can beat Trump (the candidates at the top right now are proposing insane policies that wealthy and middle class Americans abhor), so if they can smear Trump as much as they can before the election and make it look politically official, maybe this will sway voters not to vote for Trump. Problem is, they didn't learn from 2017 that this has a tendency to backfire.

                          • So Trump, Putin and Mountain Man are all promoting the same conspiracy theory.

                            It is time for Theologyweb to go full dump-Trump mode, and let the righteous Christian voice be heard.
