Where TF is the Impeachment Inquiry Thread?

Trumps team made a pretty good case that there is nothing wrong with waiting to release the aid so they could see what Ukraine did.

In fact, trumps team did a pretty good job overall during the time I watched live feed on CNN.

We really do need a “republican profiles in courage” thread.

Just what we need. Another thread in the politics section that you can post fox and friends updates in.

Would you prefer I watch msnbc instead?

[DCHawk1]

I would actually prefer you not get your "news" from TV at all.

[ousdahl]

K thanks...then foxnews.com it is!

If I know i hate something i try to avoid it, not soak it up so i can make poor attempts at comedy in a desperate effort to gain acceptance and fit in on an online forum. Its odd.

[ousdahl]

Okay okay. Jeez. If it really makes you liberal snowflakes feel better, I’ll turn off the Fox News.

Watching Fox News is like an MST3K experience.....except that the viewer is Joel and happenings on the TV machine is the cheesy B/W ersatz scifi movie

Consider me shocked.

Charities steered $65M to Trump lawyer Sekulow and family

https://apnews.com/9d2ed80ca912d18abd6650f55d2db935

Sekulow, 63, is registered as chief counsel at the American Center for Law and Justice, a non-profit Christian legal advocacy group based in an expansive Capitol Hill row house a short walk from the Senate chamber.

[...]

Charity watchdogs for years have raised concerns about the blurred lines between for-profit businesses tied to Sekulow and the complex web of non-profit entities he and his family control.

The Associated Press reviewed 10 years of tax returns for the ACLJ and other charities tied to Sekulow, which are released to the public under federal law. The records from 2008 to 2017, the most recent year available, show that more than $65 million in charitable funds were paid to Sekulow, his wife, his sons, his brother, his sister-in-law, his nephew and corporations they own.

[...]

A 2005 investigation by the publication Legal Times reported about questionable spending at ACLJ, quoting former employees describing millions in charity funds being spent to support the Sekulows’ lavish lifestyle, which included multiple homes, golf junkets, chauffeur-driven cars and a private jet used to ferry then-Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. The Guardian and The Washington Post reported additional details in 2017, shortly after Sekulow was named as Trump’s lawyer.

Over the 10-year-period examined by AP, the tax returns show nearly $37 million in charitable funds were paid by ACLJ to the CLA Group, the phantom law firm listed on court filings as defending Trump.

Sekulow has been a shady dirtbag masquerading as a Christian for decades. This is nothing new.
