Why a DOJ lawyer questioned a Trump case witness at the White House - The Washington Post

"It is completely standard that when you are interviewing someone who works in the White House to do the interview at the White House," said David Aaron, a former federal prosecutor who worked on national security cases. "When you are interviewing someone who works at the NSA [National Security Agency], you go to NSA. It has nothing to do with a power move; it's a courtesy."…

Rep. James Comer is looking for anti-Biden evidence. Also, his informant. - The Washington Post

"Nine of the 10 people that we've identified that have very good knowledge with respect to the Bidens, they're one of three things, Maria," he said. "They're either currently in court, they're currently in jail, or they're currently missing." 

This is very vague, certainly. To an objective observer, it also immediately introduces questions: How credible are a cadre of informants, at least one of whom is in jail, and another of whom has gone radio silent? The phrasing, of course, implies that maybe seven of them are facing lawsuits … or maybe seven of them were abducted by men in vans with blacked-out windows! 

Comer knows what he's doing here. It's been a baseless trope since at least the Clinton administration that powerful Democrats disappear their enemies. His role here is providing grist. It's up to others to operate the mill.

Why even the GOP’s expert witness undermines Trump’s defenses – Raw Story

In the first day of expert witness testimony in the House Judiciary Committee’s impeachment proceedings, George Washington University Law School constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley sat as the sole witness called by the Republicans. While claiming not to be a supporter of Donald Trump, he seemed to be giving the GOP what it wanted — a credentialed and experienced expert on impeachment who cast doubt on the Democrats’ case against the president. It didn’t seem to matter much to Turley or the Republicans that many of his arguments against impeaching Trump now seemed in tension with previous arguments he’s made — including in the impeachment of Bill Clinton.....

White House amplifies one of the most embarrassing GOP attacks on impeachment witnesses – Raw Story

In a clear sign of desperation, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) launched one of the most ridiculous attacks Wednesday afternoon on the expert legal witnesses testifying before the House Judiciary Committee as part of impeachment proceedings. And rather than being embarrassed by his absurd line of argument, the White House’s and President Donald Trump’s Twitter accounts shared a video of the argument.

Here's Why Republicans Stopped Talking About a Uranium One "Whistleblower" - Mother Jones

A former FBI informant who GOP lawmakers have claimed could implicate the Clintons in the so-called Uranium One scandal failed to produce any evidence of wrongdoing by the Clintons or anyone else during a February 7 interview with staffers of three congressional committees, Democrats on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee say in a summary...
