The who is who list of impeachment witnesses

This is a nice summary of the backgrounds and context of the people testifying

Many have not testified yet but are scheduled....and then there's all the paper trails....and the super secret server to hide the transcript.       So the only question left is - how many eyewitnesses need to testify under oath before Lindsey Graham "sees something".   

Damn that Deep State is big....and full of Republicans too.      This almost rivals the population of scientitsts spreading the climate change hoax!

Kurt Volker (Republican) -  State Department’s special representative for Ukraine negotiations

Marie Yovanovitch - U.S. ambassador to Ukraine

Gordon Sondland (Republican) -  U.S. ambassador to the European Union

Bill Taylor -  Top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine

Michael McKinley(Republican) - top adviser to Secretary of State Pompeo

George Kent - deputy chief of mission in Ukraine 

Catherine Croft - career Foreign Service officer   

It wouldn't matter if God was testifying, all our Trumpers, Fox News, and the Republican party will say it's all FAKE NOOZE and the whole thing is illegal, immoral, and fattening and it's a partisan witch hunt meant to overturn the results of the 2016 election blah blah blah belch grunt snort.*

This, I can predict with an absolute certainty. You'd think that some Republican senators and congresspersons would save their asses by disavowing Trump before it's too late. You would also think some Trumpers (ours or others) would lessen their shame by repudiating their orange god. But each time I think that, I also realize that hundreds of thousands of Germans died defending Hitler's bunker. Fanaticism can be very powerful.

*Oh, and Fox News, Trump, Stalker, Charles, and Fritzie-poo will all say that every single one of the witnesses is lying.

It is also a good time to take a look at Trump's defense team.

There will be various Republicans testifying, some of whom will be lying for Trump and some of whom will be telling the truth. Trump's bizarre press conference on Friday showed how worried he is. The funny thing is, he shouldn't be. Everybody--including his supporters--already knows he's a criminal. And the Senate won't vote to impeach him. So he can live out the rest of his term "just being Trump" and should shut up. There's a remote chance that if he insults enough allies, they'll turn on him. That happened, with stunning rapidity, to Nixon.

I don't see very many Republicans who would turn on him because of ethics or principles, but there are quite a few who might do so for their own political survival.

Let me know when you find any politician who doesn't lie, cheat, steal, abuse power or any of the thing you're accusing Trump of and I'll vote for them no matter what party they are affilliated with. But until then let's save some money and just work to improve the USA.

I'd settle for one that doesn't extort, bribe and outright invite other countries to interfere in our elections. There is no sense in making improvements when the foundation is rotten. 

Mark said--"I'd settle for one that doesn't extort, bribe and outright invite other countries to interfere in our elections. There is no sense in making improvements when the foundation is rotten." ----- I am amazed that he would state such an obvious opinion about the DemocRatic Party. Truthfully and well said! 

God, what a stupid thing for Stalker to say. But we know that Stalker likes to twist and misquote other people's words to make his asinine points. It's a really cheapo, weak, lame tactic. That's all he's got.

He'll even resort to "quoting" half-sentences to make it appear that a person said the opposite of what the complete sentence said. That's a limp-dick way to argue, would shame an eight-year-old, and, he thinks, is the height of cleverness.

Stalker is a pop-gun trying to duel with artillery.

There are degrees of all that, even accepting your implied premise that all politicians are dishonest, which I doubt. Trump has set a new low, though.

And "the things you're accusing Trump of" are the things that Trump has done. Only the most deluded Trump-slave lackeys, like our boy David here, continue to insist he's done nothing wrong.

"when the president does it, that means it is not illegal."   - Richard Nixon

And William Barr...and Lindsey Graham....and Rand Paul.....and the entire LVA Conservative community.     

Good luck with that mantra in 2020
