What makes this urgent asks the CNN reporter... it’s clear it’s a bunch of dirt of the Dems and now suddenly what the IG says is urgent is no long so clear cut...These guys are an absolute joke!

Engel, Schiff, and Cummings on the State IG briefing: “The briefing and documents raise troubling questions about apparent efforts inside and outside the Trump Admin to target specific officials, including former VP Joe Biden’s son & then-U.S. Amb. to Ukraine Masha Yovanovitch.”

New talking points are out? Bwaaahaha, the fool in the video did everything he could to down play it which means he was reacting based off what he hears while the others are just lying...what he hurt BTW was damning “conspiracies”

The opinion of some random Demwit a-hole? ABC calls it news.

They would have taken it more seriously if the folders had been from a HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS

“FBI has had the info since may.”

That means Chris Wray has sh!t-canned it.

Testimony and documents submitted by State Dept. Inspector General didn’t agree with Dem propaganda. Dems go berserk at being confronted by actual facts.

So apparently, the reason the Dem considered it an “irrelevant distraction” is because it was information about the Bidens and their Ukraine connection. The Dems aren’t interested in that, just like they weren’t interested in Hillary’s server, Benghazi or anything else that might reflect badly on their people.

WRONG! This is an Obama-era State Dept guy who just gave the Democrats reason to attack him as pushing wild conspiracy theories!!!

A conspiracy theory about conspiracy theories!

Somebody needs a better script writer.

[philman_36]

The documents, which were obtained by CNN... and are not available at the link/article.... include claims against the Bidens that formed the basis of President Donald Trump's accusations in his July call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, as well as accusations against former US Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, who was recalled earlier this year and whom Trump also criticized in the call. In addition, the packet contains internal State Department emails from officials discussing articles critical of Yovanovitch, calling some of it a "fake narrative."

Now why, oh why, would CNN not provide the documents to the public?

BWAHAHAHAHAHA

Impeachment Bombshell That Wasn’t: Mysterious Packet Sends Rumor Mill Into Overdrive
Mr. Raskin, apparently the lone member of Congress to attend the briefing — its original audience was intended to be aides — promptly assumed the role of narrator and myth-debunker, brandishing the dossier in disgust for good measure.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA

Three Chairs Statement on State Department Inspector General Briefing
Today, the State Department Inspector General provided an unclassified briefing and documents to House and Senate Committees.

What a JOKE!

See comments above, especially #33.

psychological.

same as say, the Disney logo; conveys a similar image of Walt Disney. Smart, successful empire-builder - and nobody’s fool.

Another option is that some of the State employees have stated that they want to be able to discuss this information when deposed but it has to be briefed to congress and declassified where possible. Resisting the resistance?
