I’ll preface this by saying I’m a big AC and Wolf Blitzer fan. They are typically very balanced.

However, I just listened to Kellyanne Conway eviscerate Wolf. He tried time after time to catch her in a gotcha moment and she calmly explained her way out of each one. He even went so low to say when queuing up a quote from her husband that “I don’t want to talk about your marriage. I know there are problems there, but this is what your husband said.”

Shameful, Wolf. I still like Wolf, but I’ll start looking at Wolf a little differently after this interview.

I didn't hear that exchange, but if Wolf did that as you describe, that was not only bad journalism, but sexist and just really uncalled for. Obviously what George Conway is saying is newsworthy, but it doesn't need to be brought up in a conversation with Kellyanne.

Kellyanne is a piece of work, a liar and and an apologist for Trump, but we are either ethical or we are not.

Do you believe that Trump did ask for public investigations of the Bidens?

If Rigged is so angered by this hearsay why doesn't he appeal to the WH to let the ones with direct knowledge testify?

It is "High, inside fastball."

NEVER say "High and inside."

Sheesh!

Is it time to recycle old hoaxes already?

Direct evidence (eyewitness accounts, for example) can be lies, Goober.

Roger Stone’s outfits (just like trump’s) have gotten more somber as he’s gotten in more trouble. As far as matching his wife’s & daughter’s outfits, that’s also a recent development which can’t easily affect the jury, since they can’t sit with him.

The whole point is to belatedly have some public appeal, after the ridiculous outfits of the recent past. No one generally wears dark glasses inside a courtroom, another clownish move that he reluctantly dispenses with.

Someone labeled this mess

"Arms for political dirt"

which is probably the best summary of it.

It echoes with Iran contra, and is understandable and true.

Too many syllables.

I'd go with just "Arms for dirt".

Problem is, Iran Contra didn't bring down the president or vice president like it should have. So it is remembered as a nothingburger.

I think it's more to impress future possible employers...Stone is all about show business and high impact. He is trying to become even more famous so more degenerate Republicans will hire him to play dirty and illegal tricks on Democrats. Photo editors can't resist publishing pix of Stone - that is what he wants. To be a playa.

Most direct evidence is being blocked from testifying.

arms for dirt works yeah

as for iran contra - few americans have ever heard of it, but at the time it had consequences. If trump lost a third of his popularity he'd be sent away with a kick in the pants.

Bush1 pardoned everyone unfortunately yeah. It didn't have a huge impact.

Funny how many scandals Republicans are involved with. Why is that?

Wikipedia:

Domestically, the affair precipitated a drop in President Reagan's popularity. His approval ratings suffered "the largest single drop for any U.S. president in history", from 67% to 46% in November 1986, according to a The New York Times/CBS News poll.[72] The "Teflon President", as Reagan was nicknamed by critics,[73] survived the affair, however, and his approval rating recovered.[74]

Internationally, the damage was more severe. Magnus Ranstorp wrote, "U.S. willingness to engage in concessions with Iran and the Hezbollah not only signaled to its adversaries that hostage-taking was an extremely useful instrument in extracting political and financial concessions for the West but also undermined any credibility of U.S. criticism of other states' deviation from the principles of no-negotiation and no concession to terrorists and their demands."[75]

In Iran, Mehdi Hashemi, the leaker of the scandal, was executed in 1987, allegedly for activities unrelated to the scandal. Though Hashemi made a full video confession to numerous serious charges, some observers find the coincidence of his leak and the subsequent prosecution highly suspicious.[76]

What else would they talk about? What he's wearing?

Wait, I'm sure LRC has that one covered.

Stone’s future employers?

Prison wardens only pay pennies per hour, and you can’t wear street clothes. You’re missing the recent pics of manafort.

Quick recap of yesterday's impeachment proceeding which offered up 2 of the star witnesses, witnesses who have never had direct contact with the president, and witnesses whose testimony Dems are hoping will be the first in United States history to impeach, convict and remove a sitting president: Nothing. They offered up nothing. Normally the big newspapers would be blaring headlines that would shock the American public after the first day of an impeachment proceeding and cause the American public to demand that the president resign. Instead, all is quiet. Yesterday produced nothing. Again, these 2 star witnesses have NEVER had direct contact with the president. And Dems are expecting their testimony will help do something that has never been done before in American president, and that is remove a sitting president. That is NUTS! Just absolute Nuts. You can NOT IMPEACH a president over some trivial phone call.
