Newsweek "used" to be a great mag. It has turned decidedly left-facing. I think they still fact check most of their stuff, then use their facts to spin (normal for all media). Not quite NYT left (who doesn't care to fact check much). So I'm on board with Lead on this. The left needs to start getting used to this.

I also think this is "closer" but the GOP shouldn't be ready to pull the trigger on this just yet. Out of abundance of caution, They need to ensure they have the emails. and phone calls solidified. There is still ZERO response from Treasury on their subpoenas. There needs to be pressure to get the outlying documents they didn't get from the Chinese bank. They may have this information and are still holding it close to the vest. I would absolutely do that. To coin the phrase from the left during the trumpster impeachments "it's not a trial." Okay, you don't have to have the same level of evidence.

The evidence so far, is a sworn document that accuses sr of taking bribes to ensure the ousting of the investigator. I don't understand (other than TDS), why Vindman was an absolute, iron clad witness, and this official document from the FBI isn't. Legally, they're identical. AND there are things like bank records to support the claim. Also considered solid evidence is every court in the US. And don't forget about phone calls and texts. Verbal and written evidence of criminal acts.

So one step closer? Sure. The computer needs to be entered into evidence, along with the phone calls. Records of the official flights of AF2 and AF1 also need to be pulled to get the manifests, stops, etc. Official white house records of meetings, etc.
