Transcript and audio: Trump call with Georgia Sec. of State Brad Raffensperger - The Washington Post

About 3 p.m. Saturday, President Trump held an hour-long call with Brad Raffensperger, Georgia’s secretary of state, in which he repeatedly urged him to alter the outcome of the presidential vote in the state. He was joined on the call by White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and several lawyers, including longtime conservative attorney Cleta Mitchell and Georgia-based attorney Kurt Hilbert. Raffensperger was joined by his office’s general counsel, Ryan Germany, and Deputy Secretary of State Jordan Fuchs.

Trump administration asks Supreme Court to shield secret Mueller grand jury materials | TheHill

The Trump administration on Thursday asked the Supreme Court to shield redacted grand jury materials related to former special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe from the Democratic-led House. The 37-page request, filed by the Justice Department, asks the justices to temporarily block the release of transcripts and other documents that Democratic lawmakers initially requested as part of the House impeachment inquiry into President Trump.....

Let’s use the Lindsey Graham test for impeachment - The Washington Post

In late September, Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) said: “What would’ve been wrong is if the president had suggested to the Ukrainian government that if you don’t do what I want you to do regarding the Bidens, we’re not going to give you the aid. That was the accusation; that did not remotely happen.” Since then, Graham has said he refuses to read the transcripts of testimony; he now insists he won’t watch the House hearings. One wonders whether he will put his fingers in his ears and hum during a Senate trial to remove President Trump.....

Trump wanted Ukrainian Clinton investigation, Kent says - The Washington Post

One of the central defenses of President Trump’s actions regarding Ukraine is that he’s really just interested in rooting out corruption. Ukraine is a corrupt country, the argument goes, so why shouldn’t U.S. aid and other things be conditioned on that? That argument, of course, ignores how seldom Trump has shown concerns about global corruption in the past. It also ignores the self-serving nature of the two specific investigations he has sought. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/11/07/top-official-says-trump-wanted-ukraine-announce-clinton-probe-further-undermining-trumps-defenses/

READ: Transcript of testimony by top US diplomat in Ukraine William Taylor | TheHill

House Democrats on Wednesday released the transcript of William Taylor's closed-door testimony in the impeachment probe into President Trump. Taylor, the top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine, was the first official to testify that a quid pro quo existed, with the Trump administration withholding Ukrainian military aid while requesting that Ukraine launch politically motivated investigations into interference in the 2016 election and former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter. https://thehill.com/homenews/house/469275-read-transcript-of-testimony-by-top-us-diplomat-in-ukraine-bill-taylor

Pompeo’s decision to ‘throw up his hands’ and let Giuliani run foreign policy is ‘astounding’: Retired admiral – Raw Story

On Tuesday, EU Ambassador Gordon Sondland revised his testimony to acknowledge — contrary to his previous denials to Congress — that President Donald Trump did, in fact, pursue a quid pro quo in Ukraine for dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden. On CNN’s “The Situation Room,” retired Admiral John Kirby expressed his astonishment with the ongoing revelations — particularly as they pertain to the State Department.

Sondland Says He Told Ukrainians Aid Was Held Up Over Inquiry Demand - NYTimes

Gordon D. Sondland recounted how he told Ukrainian officials that military aid was tied to their commitment to investigations President Trump wanted. ...

First, He Said the Quid Pro Quo Didn’t Happen. Now, Lindsey Graham Admits He’s Not Bothering to Look for One. – Mother Jones

Even in the face of damning testimony and an arguably even more damning reversal from Gordon Sondland, leading Senate Republicans are still in denial: None of what is happening in the impeachment investigation means anything, how dare you ask such a dumb question, and even if it did, they wouldn’t know because they don’t know what you’re talking about. ...

So this is why Trump doesn’t want officials to testify - The Washington Post

Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) released the first batch of transcripts Monday from the closed-door depositions, including that of Marie Yovanovitch, the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine removed from her post by President Trump at the urging of his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani. If this is a sign of what’s to come, Republicans will soon regret forcing Democrats to make impeachment proceedings public. Over 10 hours, the transcript shows, they stumbled about in search of a counter-narrative to her damning account. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/11/04/so-this-is-why-trump-doesnt-want-officials-testify/

Donald Trump would like to provide a 'fireside chat' for America to showcase his 'perfect call'

Donald Trump thinks his call to Ukrainian President Zelensky was “perfect.” So perfect, in fact, that he wants everyone in America to hear it. But there is no recording of the call—or at least, we’ve been told there is no recording of the call—so what to do? Trump has a solution: He wants to have a “fireside chat.” Except without the fireside or the chat part. In a Thursday interview, Trump suggested he he was going to sit down, and “read the transcript of the call, because people have to hear it.” Which is, without a doubt, a brilliant idea. He should absolutely read the not-an-actual-transcript. ....
