I read the testimony

Scaramucci was a flash in the pan.

Browder's testimony will have lasting consequences.

Yes, it's a 100+ page document. His initial 2016 complaint starts at page 7 or 8. So much more than what he could have covered in the brief time he had to testify.

It names Repub pols/aides/STATE DEPT WORKERS who were (are?) involved with the Russian agents. Like...the Russian lawyer's interpreter was also working for the US State Dept at the time. Rohrabacher's aide who was working with the House Foreign Relation Committee...he was part of it all. He was fired from the HFRC job a few weeks ago because of the Russian connection.

And the daily distractions just keep coming. Even the constant health care votes are likely deliberate distractions at this point.

They spend all their time chasing the shiny object, while not reporting the real key to understanding what's going on.

Link for people cannot get through with the original.
