You're right.  I guess I'm as dumb as Nunes.

We’ll get you a cow, Yank.

If you get a chance try and find a clip of Rick Perry in the cabinet meeting praying hard that they be delivered from the consequences of their many sins.

Perry May also think he’s too pretty for prison.

Notice that Schiff set up an obstruction count rather nicely.  Sondland mentions that McCormack, among others, could fill in some blanks.  Why can't they talk to Brian McCormack, hmm?  Or Perry?  Because they have refused a subpoena from Congress.  At the instruction of....

Nunes seems to be living in some sort of 2016 conspiracy infinite Mobius Strip, just keeps looping around and around. 

Radcliffe actually seems to be capable of some sharp questioning, I'll give him that.  And I've learned that two plus two adding up to four is a highly speculative leap.  Somewhere, George Orwell is having a good laugh.  (metaphysical speculation on my part)

So...who helped Sondland craft his opener - or had final approval on it?

Trump has frequently shown his disdain for WaPo, and seemingly shifted a huge contract away from Amazon in order to punish the owner of a major newspaper he doesn't like.

It's obvious somebody advised Sondland not to include his conversation with Trump in his opener

So, go ahead, YG - have at it.  Pick this statement apart for us

Nope.  If he's not going to read SONDLAND's statement then I won't read his. 

And to use the "reasoning" of one of the leading intellectual lights on this board:

"I gave you just the one example.

"You leapt to the conclusion that I feel [Devin Nunes] is a [moron] solely due to this one instance."
