On CNN Saturday, David Guy, the former special impeachment adviser to President Bill Clinton, told anchor Christi Paul that President Donald Trump’s angry tweet against Marie Yovanovitch, and State Department aide David Holmes’ new testimony that he overheard President Donald Trump talking to EU Ambassador Gordon Sondland about military aide, are huge problems for both the president and Sondland.

“Even Fox News, in real time, reported it shifted the mood, the tone of the Yovanovitch hearing, and now what we have from Holmes is yet one more of the Republican talking points is removed.”


“And this only was day two of the hearings,” added Smith. “I mean, go back when the whistleblower — nobody knew about Ukraine. And here we are, day one, we get this big revelation about this phone call with the president’s actual voice and the Republicans kept saying, oh, it’s hearsay, it’s hearsay. It’s no longer hearsay. It’s the real thing. Imagine where we’re gonna be next week. We have eight more witnesses, fact witnesses, and Sondland’s coming back, and he’s in just a world of trouble.”

I was watching the LPGA the other day, and saw how bad Lexi Thompson is doing, and all she did was play a round of golf with the idiot, but since then her game has declined big time. I am sure he didn't touch her, but I guess his company is enough to cause damage. She is a great player and a great athlete so I think she will recover from it, but what a coincidence.

I do hope she recovers, she is great to watch when she is playing well.

Jill Wine Bsnks said that since he changes his story so often that he isn't that great a witness for the Dems.

I wonder if he will cause more problems than he is worth. A proven liar makes a particularly bad witness but I understand his testimony directly connects Trump to the gravamen of the offense.
