Barack Obama's speech tonite, without a cheering crowd, had the intimacy and powerful impact of an emergency Oval Office address to the nation. Chilling.
Rudy Giuliani on President Trump's claims that there was an "informant" in the Trump campaign: "I don't know for sure, nor does the President, if there really was one”
Fiona Hill on Sondland: he wasn’t coordinating w us because he wasn’t doing the same thing we were doing. ..he was involved in a domestic political errand.

FBI report is done. No corroboration of Democrat smears of Judge Kavanaugh. Who drove Dr. Fox there? Who drove her home? No one has come forward! Do any of the 5 she placed there corroborate her? No! Some are contradictory. Its obvious: Democrat exploitation of Dr. Ford. SHAME!
Is Ron Johnson trying to argue now that the insurrection wasn’t so bad because there were good people in the crowd?! Is this actually happening? This was a pro-police crowd he argues.
This is worthy of the committee’s time? Seriously?
WH: “This evening, the President and the First Lady paid their respects to Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick as he lies in honor at the Capitol Rotunda.”
Today is the day House managers show Trump has no remorse, feels little accountability and was not surprised at the vile results of his own incitements. Even pleased. His knowledge of what would happen is obvious.
Bartiromo claimed she had insider knowledge from "medical sources" and said "I pray to God it's not true" – but Biden disclosed his surgeries in 1988. Fox PR has not responded to my request for comment about why Bartiromo made an old news story sound new and secretive
Republicans like Cotton, Cruz and Rubio talk tough now but joined to acquit Trump after he squeezed Zelensky for personal advantage
"Do you think Americans care about Ukraine?" Mike Pompeo shouted at a reporter
they care now
Buttigieg doesn’t mince words about Sanders, whom he says “believes in an inflexible , ideological revolution that leaves out most Democrats, not to mention most Americans.” The Never Bernie campaign in full swing.

The Nixon tapes were about a coverup of a crime and that was bad enough. This tape is suggesting ( or demanding ) criminal activity, i.e. the fixing of an election.
I’ve never met any other politician like

. He was a complicated man, but also one of the most authentic people I’ve ever met. Most politicians are closed and guarded. For most of the time I rode on his bus with him, he wouldn’t stop talking. RIP John McCain.
A source confirms this to me as well. Standing O from roughly half the House GOP for a woman who trafficked in anti Semitic and racist conspiracy theories, who questioned whether 9/11 and mass shootings were real events.

This is the fist bump everyone needs to be talking about.

Interesting how Joe Biden, never a man of few words, managed this transition and this inauguration by speaking only when he really had something to say. And even then, he kept it short. Ish.
Hey everyone, my little girl is in a pretty rough stretch of her chemotherapy cycle and not feeling so hot. She could really use some prayers right now.
Trump: "Mitch is a dour, sullen and unsmiling political hack, and if Republican senators stay with him, they will not win again." Hmmmm. Inciting another insurrection, this time within the GOP?
Driving around DC today, it's striking how flags on federal buildings controlled by the president are not at half staff, unlike the ones at the Capitol which were lowered in honor of the police officer killed in this week's mob attack.
President held a political rally at White House. Said covid is disappearing. Told everyone he felt great. Question: have you had a negative covid test?

If President Trump knew the facts, he would never have sent that tweet. Here is my (late) camerawoman Margaret Moth, who took a bullet in the face covering the facts and truth in Bosnia.

Trump lashes out at Republican senators, the FBI, the court system, his own Justice Department, the news media and the technology sector for not accepting his baseless claims to have won the election.
So Amy Coney Barrett says she never heard about Trumps comments about how he needs another seat on the court before the election...until Democrats asked about it? Harris asked and that was the answer.
Source tells me managers worried about losing some Dems and Republicans if they called for witnesses. Or the GOP could have called for high profile witness in a one for one arrangement. A decision made this morning looked less workable as the day wore on. Welcome to the senate.
House managers portray this as a win, according to a source familiar, because the congresswoman's testimony in the record. But Trump attorneys say they did not stipulate to the truth of Herrera-Butlers statement.
I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 P.M. Feeling really good! Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!
