Nancy Cordes has learned that a Trump confidante reportedly told Republican Senators that “a vote against the president and your head will be on a pike.”

Senior Trump campaign officials lobbied the nonpartisan presidential debate commission last month over the makeup of its board of directors and its moderator choices, pushing for a process they deemed as “fair” and warning that the president may not participate if he is not satisfied, according to people familiar with the meeting.

The December conversation between Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale, campaign operating officer Michael Glassner and Frank Fahrenkopf, the co-chairman of the Commission on Presidential Debates, came as the president weighed whether to participate in the trio of debates scheduled for this fall and as he attacked the commission on Twitter.

Trump's victimhood continues.

Everybody is so unfair to me. Whaaaaaaaaaaa.......

I'd be surprised if there are. It's a no win proposition for him.

Then again he's a moron who loves cameras so who knows.

Taking a break from impeachment. Space Force logo appears to be a rip off of star trek

F’ing amazing. Recall the first go was a sad riff on NASA missions. I hope Paramount sues.

Wow. @NPR's @NPRKelly just now on @npratc says @SecPompeo was furious about being questioned about Ukraine in her interview. Took her into his office, cursed at her, dropping f-bombs, made her point to Ukraine on an unmarked map (she did). It's just...shocking.

Mary Louise Kelly: Sir, respectfully, where have you defended Marie Yovanovitch?

Pompeo: I've defended every single person on this team. I’ve done what’s right for every single person...

MLK: Can you point me toward your remarks?

Pompeo: I've said all I'm going to say today.

Graham vows Biden, Ukraine probe after impeachment trial


As, this guy. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/479 ... ment-trial

"Nobody has done an investigation anywhere near like the Mueller investigation of the Bidens, and I think they should. And when this is over the Congress will do it, if we can't have an outside entity do it," Graham told reporters.

So we actually are going to become a country where we just investigate American citizens for no apparent reason*. Nice!

*Of course, the reason in this particular case is vengeance.

@Yamiche
NEW: Joseph Bondy, Lev Parnas’ attorney, tells me he turned over an hour long iPhone VIDEO recording to House Intel Committee of Pres Trump saying he wants to get rid of former Amb. Yovanovitch. Bondy says he hopes this will lead to a “tipping point” & Parnas will get to testify.

Bondy will be on Maddow tonight. Apparently includes video of Trump telling Parnas and Fruman to "take her out" .. You know, two people have zero authority to fire anyone?

Think we can conclude Trump misspoke and meant only the beast people, not best people.

Here come the tweets with quotes from GOP Senators.

GOP Senator Mike Braun: "I'll give them this. They've put a lot of circumstantial evidence together. But, you know, the quid pro quo did not happen. Actually they're building a flimsy case based upon a circumstantial case, and I don't think it's going to muster."

GRAHAM: "President Trump had no corrupt purpose. He believes to this day that someone should look at the Bidens, and so do I."

SCOTT: "I don't believe anything they've said so far is impeachable."

LANKFORD: "It was the same content over and over again."

BRAUN: "There is not one new thing, other than exaggeration...You're not going to win this by time of possession."


ERNST: "The president held onto funding for approximately two months," but "Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014" and Obama failed to send aid "for two years."

These people are grown human beings.

seem there is a lot of negative feed back about Schiff bringing up the “head on a pike” thing. Those unreliable crossover votes used said things like “lost me there” and “never happened”. Unforced error, if you ever thought that there was any chance these Senators were on the fence (they were not).
