    Just checked foxnews.com
    Headline: STAYING IN THE SHADOWS? Whistleblower won't revel his identity
    The arrest of two of Giuliani's associates is NOWHERE on the first page.

    Trump needs to announce on Television that he is not a crook.

    Apparently Sondland is prepared to defy the State Department and White House and testify.

    I was going to write about this yesterday, when it was on the front page, but way way waaaaaaaaay down the page. Whereas on real news websites, you couldn't miss it.

    It was like the movie "Norma Rae" where the plant was obligated to put up a pro-union flyer for employees to read but placed it so high on the bulletin board that, according to the union rep who showed up to make sure it was there, "Wilt Chamberlain on stilts might be able to see that; will you bring it down to eye level, please?" The Rudy story on FAUX News was the opposite, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay low, but equally invisible.

    So presumably his lawyer and he decided that they have the right to testify and ignore State Dept & WH orders. If legally they can, everyone else then can make up their own decision. For those that decided to testify, how would the admin now react - fire them?

    Whatever they do, I would not be surprised with the new absurd arguments afterward
    - see we aren't obstructing justice because they could testify if they wanted to
    - but since they defied order, we have the right to fire them

    There's just nothing to prove about Biden. His son got a cushy job with a Ukrainian gas company because (probably) of some connections through his dad. That's the whole story.

    He is Trump's buddy though the guy who said, uh...let's stop texting......and then had the delay while responding to the funds being held up for political reasons, need to get the guy that was on a CALL with him after him....or before and ask them both what they talked about.

    I doubt SonderTrump is truthful

    Hey, I'm no lawyer but , if Barr told Giuliani about a pending arrest where the perps could find out and run, isn't that obstruction of justice? Certainly dereliction of duty but it would be up to his boss to fire him, ha.

    US Ambassador to Ukraine testifies today that:
    -She was told by the Deputy Secretary of State that she had done nothing wrong but was being removed because of a campaign against her by Rudy.
    -She doesn't know Rudy, only met him a handful of times, but knows that individuals he is associated with had reason to believe that their financial interests were in jeopardy with her as ambassador because of anti-corruption efforts
    -Says that the former Ukrainian prosecutor has retracted his claims about a "do not prosecute" list and says the whole thing was unfounded, which he has admitted.
