Brilliant job by my colleagues today on the Intel Committee. They clearly highlighted the gaping holes in the Democrats' argument and established the unreal levels of hearsay involved.

No two ways about it: today was a MAJOR setback for the unfounded impeachment fantasy.

So the career foreign service officer thought Hunter Biden’s Ukraine board seat was an ethical question and who did he call? Adam Schiff? The IG? The DOJ? The Wash Post? No! He calls Hunter’s Dad’s VP office. Surprise they blow him off and the matter is dropped. Swamp.

A slightly longer article about the Chris Wallace take in which the extent of the damage amounts to nothing more than Wallace thinking the guy seems like a non-political, straight shooter -- who has notes! As far as I can tell,
Wallace says virtually nothing about any evidence the guy might or might not have presented, or what high crime or misdemeanor the President might or might not have committed. He just looked good and sounded like "Edward R. Murrow." Such "an impressive presence."

Sheesh.

Catsmeat (from the last thread):

You are very kind! Thanks for posting those lines. It's really fun to look back on something like Neil Young's lyrics and see them in a completely different light, isn't it? I'll have to look up the Auden. He was always one of the poets that I thought I ought to read, buy never really did. "Sob, heavy world / Sob as you spin, / Mantled in mist Remote from the happy."

Oddly enough I wrote a pair of poems on such spinning, although I gather from my googling that "The Age of Anxiety" is actually a book length work. I did a whole series of poems written in two separate voices (academic/rustic) on the same themes, ages ago. It was sort of schizophrenic. Maybe I'll post them on some night when there's nothing going on.

[JM Hanes]

Not all of them! Just the spinners.

Also from the last thread, D:

"McConnell won’t cut short the impeachment scam.

My question is how exactly do you expect him to do that?

[Tom R]

If the Democrats formally impeach Trump, won’t all the Senators running for POTUS have to attend the Senate trial in person? That’s a long time not being out on the campaign trail. I think McConnell should make sure there are repercussions for the Democrats using impeachment for partisan politics.

jimmyk,

Likely two different movies. I didn't watch the hearings, but I read the comments here and went looking for how the media played it.

My sense is the Democrats lost if it was their intention to produce compelling testimony. The media is playing around with it, but there is not a lot to work with yet.

Enough came out of the hearing so that conservative writers don't have to stretch to make their points of failure. MSM got enough to spin it the usual way, but my sense is that the MSM "pre-written" articles had to be dialed back.

Last night I told Barbara not to worry about this and I maintain my position.

The hearings, IMHO, are biased and lame.

LA Times finds it hard going to spin the testimony (h/t BJG blog)

LA Times: Lost Day for Democrats
"nothing that happened will move public opinion in a meaningful way. ... The burden of proof is on Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam B. Schiff (D-Burbank) ...to conduct these hearings in a way that moves public opinion to the point that the Senate will convict the president. ...but it (today's testimony) doesn’t come remotely close to requiring that the president be removed from office. The opening-day witnesses ... simply reiterated that they had no firsthand knowledge of the president’s interactions and had not had conversations with the president directly. ...(Republican Radcliffe) scored points by asking both witnesses if they had come before the committee to report any offenses stemming from the Trump-Zelensky call that warranted impeachment. Neither would say yes"

You were right! I refused to watch the hearings, but I did check in here at JOM to read the comments. Not only did the Democrats lose the day, the Republicans changed the narrative. A very good day for the President and the country.

Barbara,

Good for you. My sense in going into this that the rules were so biased that it would be like the Republicans all had one hand tied behind their backs.

Think of this as a preliminary fight, not the championship bout. One-fisted Republicans got in enough blows against the two-fisted Democrats to call this a draw.

On to round two and I think the momentum has already shifted.

If you were for impeachment, you still are. If not, you're still opposed. It's a battle for the independents and media spin.

[Robin, eff 'em all]

Powerline guys also think that the impeachment farce is to fill the news cycle before the DOJ IG's report is released.

And we haven’t yet gotten to what is surely one of the Democrats’ prime objectives; that is, to use their absurd impeachment drama to minimize news coverage of the DOJ Inspector General’s report that will be released any day now, and John Durham’s report into the corrupt (and perhaps criminal) origins of the plot by the FBI and the CIA against candidate, then President-Elect, then President, Donald Trump. I suspect that the Democrats want, more than anything else, to keep these bombshell revelations off the air. I also suspect that the networks will do their bidding by seizing on the all-important impeachment drama as an excuse to deep-six coverage of these far more significant stories.

Deval Patrick plans to join the race for President? Kamala Harris and Spartacus Booker aren't authentic enough?

I'm sorry if this offends, but Obama was not an "authentic" black American. His mother was white, his father was Kenyan, not American.

Before Obama I always thought the first black president would be a Republican. Colin Powell came to mind, thankfully, considering his later opinions, that was not to be.

At this point, once burned, I don't think a Democratic black candidate for president will ever be viable again.

I could go for Clarence Thomas or Thomas Sowell, but never again a black liberal Democrat.

Now that I think about it, the answer is in the article.

One of the first pilot parks will be in Qinghai, a vast region in western China abutting Tibet and sharing much of its cultural legacy. The area also is home to such iconic and threatened species as the snow leopard and Chinese mountain cat, and encompasses the headwaters of three of Asia's great waterways: the Yangtze, Yellow, and Mekong rivers.

Robin, a National Park stakes a big claim on the surroundings. Plus they can import a bunch of Han Chinese to replace Tibetans. As an excuse, you have mountain climbing or skiing.

Taylor testimony damaging, or so says Fox News' Chris Wallace.

Wishful thinking on the part of Chris Wallace. I first recognized Wallace as a NeverTrumper during the first Fox News Sunday program after Trump tweeted about Obama wire tapping him at Trump Tower. Wallace went after some Trump administration guest asking how could Trump say that without any evidence.

"Without any evidence" and variations of that phrase are only ever used when the reporting is about something Trump has said. It's been deployed all over the news nowadays in to contradict the obvious implication that Joe and Hunter Biden engaged in unethical or illegal activities to make a fortune off of Burisma.

Burisma paid millions to the Bidens, ostensibly for Hunter's services on the board of directors, but in reality for the influence Joe could bring in directing billions in foreign aid to Ukraine, some of which would flow to Burisma, and also Joe's power to shield Burisma from criminal investigation -- which he publicly bragged about doing.

So what does it mean when the media, singing in harmony, says there is absolutely no evidence of impropriety on the part of the Bidens? First, it means there are mountains of evidence of corruption that the media have no intention of ever investigating, much less reporting. Second, it sends a signal to anyone in the media who values continued employment, don't go there.

Just ask Amy Robach or Ashley Bianco.
