Politics Corner, December 3rd



Here's the House Intelligence Committee Trump-Ukraine Impeachment Inquiry Report. There's more than a few figurative bodies buried in there.

Now we move over to the House Judiciary Committee which will open by providing the legal framework for Impeachment tomorrow morning. We'll be live blogging beginning at 8AM EST.

Giuliani's butt has been busy. His butt has been calling Nunes (who really needs to recuse himself from the Impeachment) and the White House Office of Management and Budget and his butt's timing couldn't be more suspicious. Be advised: Don't let your personal lawyer butt dial. [Reuters] [NBC]


Olena Zerkel, former Deputy Foreign Minister of Ukraine, says that Ukraine knew in July the aid meant for them had been withheld. [Axios]


Remember that time a bunch of Republican Senators looked into Ukraine interference in the 1016 US election and they didn't find any interference by Ukraine? They don't remember either so stop asking them about it. [Politico]

Deutsche Bank and Capital One Financial must hand over Trump's financial records to the House of Representatives. We don't need them to know that Trump is a terrible businessman. [Reuters]


Trump still doesn't know how tariffs work. When he promises tariff's "up to 100%" that money is coming out of your pocket and not the French. [ABC]


He seems to finally have an inkling that he's getting China all wrong. But we still have to pay for it. He seems to know that any trade deal he makes with China will be so bad for us that it would guarantee he would lose the election. So he's willing to delay a trade deal until after the election. The stock market is already unhappy. The rest of us will be unhappy soon enough. [CNBC]


Trump gave $400 million of our money to a shady company that probably can't even do what most of us don't want done. [Independant]

The G-7 Summit will be held at Camp David. Now was that so difficult? (Of course it was.) [ABC]


I forgot to mention that one of the interchangeable white guys without a chance dropped out of the Democratic Presidential race and I've already forgotten him. One thing Kamala Harris will never be is forgettable but she's out too. [AP]





Debtors Prisons are back and they're legal despite being illegal. [ProPublica]


Pussy Riot will tour the US and Canada and the shows will benefit Planned Parenthood. [The Hill]
