As day two of the public impeachment hearings continue to give absolutely zero insight into whether or not an impeachable ‘quid pro quo’ occurred, Democrats now have to shift their approach. First, let’s talk about liberals’ favorite word: feelings. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) acted as though Ambassador Yovanovitch was at a therapy session, not a deposition. “Ambassador Yovanovitch, as we sit here testifying, the president is attacking you on Twitter,” said Schiff. “What effect do you think that has on other witnesses’ willingness to come forward and expose wrongdoing?” Schiff added. Despite being absolutely irrelevant to

Let’s start here with this Washington Post story on the soon-to-be-released book from “Anonymous” — a presumed Trump administration official — with the

Happen to catch some of yesterday’s impeachment hearing? Because Jim Jordan absolutely obliterated the Dems’ unhinged impeachment argument. During the exchange, Rep. Jordan quickly highlighted William Taylor’s limited knowledge relating to what he was even testifying: “You didn’t listen in on President Trump and Zelensky’s call?” Jordan asked. Taylor replied, “I did not.” “You’ve never talked with Chief of Staff Mulvaney?” the republican rep. asked. “I never did,” Taylor responded. Jordan’s questioning continued: “You’ve never met the president?” “That’s correct,” Taylor said. “You had three meetings again with Zelenksy and it didn’t come up … and President Zelensky never made
