For example, remember when the be-all & end-all of things was the FBI interviewing Mark Judge? And then they did, & nobody ever mentioned him again?

Schiff sure sounds like a guy who is backing away from the original marketing of this story as a quid pro quohttps://twitter.com/DHBerman/status/1176894713909174273 …

It's not in Biden's political interest to focus more attention on Hunter Bidenhttps://twitter.com/NoahCRothman/status/1176895064104230914 …
Dan McLaughlin added,
Noah RothmanVerified account @NoahCRothmanReally weird that Biden is not leveraging this news cycle to his advantage in more visceral, personal terms. Giuliani is accusing him of being "bought" by China in service to his "drug-challenged son." Abandoning dispassion in this moment is, at least, understandable.5 replies 10 retweets 37 likesShow this thread -

It would be useful to get someone more credible than Chris Murphy on the record saying thishttps://twitter.com/RyanLizza/status/1176897474017058817 …
Dan McLaughlin added,
Ryan LizzaVerified account @RyanLizzaThe WP piece has been updated: Murphy said “Zelensky’s ‘entire’ administration was concerned ‘that the aid that was being cut off to Ukraine by the president was a consequence for their unwillingness, at the time, to investigate the Bidens’” but Zelensky himself didn’t say that.Show this thread2 replies 2 retweets 14 likesShow this thread -

Likely true. Also likely true that virtually everyone will just chalk this up to Trump being exactly what they already assumed Trump is likehttps://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1176900396448722944 …

As to 2020, I'm still where I've been for months now: I resent being asked to cast a ballot for a man who is manifestly unfit for the job, but I also not want to hand power to a party that will make the lives of Americans worse & do permanent damage to its vital institutions.

Inasmuch as that means no good choices, well, there's no reason to make me want to commit any earlier than I need to. But I continue to not blame other conservatives who have cast their lot already with Trump 2020 or Never Trump 2020.

It will not surprise me if the outcome of this whole thing is to do only modest damage to Trump, but extensive damage to Biden, who after all still has a primary fight to winhttps://twitter.com/BetSnyder/status/1176902657413439488 …

Readout of the call is somewhat ambiguous as to whether Trump actually asked Zelensky to investigate the Bidens or just cooperate with a US investigation, but it certainly appears that Zelensky interpreted it as the former, & Trump rolled with it:pic.twitter.com/3d2B9tp133

Yeah, and this gets back to my point about reading the readout impressionistically, as it would be received in a back-and-forth conversationhttps://twitter.com/gabrielmalor/status/1176929195093610496 …
Dan McLaughlin added,
Gabriel Malor @gabrielmalorI don't think the argument "the favor was about CrowdStrike not the subsequent request about Biden" is all that exculpatory. First, if I'm giving you a list of things to do in exchange for something, I'm indicating that I want you to do the whole list if you want that thing.Show this thread4 replies 1 retweet 8 likesShow this threadThanks.

Replying to @baseballcrank
It's a read out of the call according to a desperate and compulsive liar.
