All sorts of little things trickling out this evening: Giuliani helped push Yovanovich out, and Sens. Johnson, Portman, and Kirk were on board; Volker warned Giuliani he was wrong on Biden; and FEC Chair Weintraub takes a public dig at those accepting elections support from other countries...

And the top headline everywhere but Fox is still “Trump publicly asks Ukraine and China to interfere in elections.”

I’m actually starting to think this really is the beginning of the end.

From the NYT article on this:

After speaking with Mr. Trump, Mr. Sondland texted back that there was no quid pro quo, adding, “I suggest we stop the back and forth by text.”

It's always good to create a paper trail before you do really bad shit. Are these guys really this stupid?

Trump told Xi he'd be quiet on Hong Kong after bringing up Biden and Warren during their secret server conversation? I thought this was about corruption in Ukraine?

Anyone know what the long term electoral operatives are saying at this point? Rove, Gingrich, Bannon, etc? I’d be curious to get some sound bites from those sorts of people right now.

I can't imagine Bannon caring about any of this. Rove probably does, but he's barely regarded in Trump's party. Gingrich falls somewhere in the middle.

So if the Ukraine funds were appropriated by Congress, do we know which committee drafted the appropriations bill?
