...that was withheld from Ukraine?

Perhaps he was fearful that it would become public information? Why would he take the heat for Mulvaney or Trump?

He's covering his ass, would be my opinion.

[malaise]

16. Good

Everyone should do the same and expose these criminals

[dchill]

41. They should form an ass-covering union.

20. Mark Sandy would be the first OMB employee to testify in the inquiry

A longtime career employee at the White House Office of Management and Budget is expected to break ranks and testify Saturday in the House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry, potentially filling in important details on the hold-up of military aid to Ukraine.

Mark Sandy would be the first OMB employee to testify in the inquiry, after OMB acting director Russell T. Vought and two other political appointees at the agency defied congressional subpoenas to appear. The White House has called the impeachment inquiry unconstitutional and ordered administration officials not to participate.

But unlike these other OMB officials, Sandy is a career employee, not one appointed by the president. He has worked at the agency off and on for over a decade, under presidents of both parties, climbing the ranks into his current role as deputy associate director for national security programs.

[CanonRay]

28. Thanks to all those "geek" civil servants

[C_U_L8R]

30. All evidence leads to Trump.

Following the money and working up the chain of command. We're getting closer to checkmate.

[Mr.Bill]

32. A whole lot of people in the coming days/weeks

have to decide if they want to be a witness or a defendant.

[ffr]

34. Can't be true.

We already have our Friday bombshell of Taylor's assistant's testimony behind closed doors tomorrow. We can't have two bombshells! It's not Friday.

[DispondentRepublican]

36. OMB? OMG!!

Yikes

[sprinkleeninow]

37. Gotten the gist of what transpired Wednesday.

Been running around getting legal, etc. stuff done. Mb that's why I felt a tad down ⬇ bc there was no really big blowout. Now catching this read, I got perked up ⬆ ! Good God, we must be victorious!

[malaise]

45. Justice is taking place

[sprinkleeninow]

47. You can't mess with justice. They don't get that it's a universal and spiritual feature/law set into

motion/its inception from time immemorial.

If it don't get ya now, it'll get ya later. One way or 'nother.

[Corgigal]

38. Looks like a prayer been answered,

Let us enjoy some gospel.

[sprinkleeninow]

48. 💓

[Talitha]

42. Behind closed doors, or will it be televised - anyone know? Thanks!

[malaise]

46. I think it will be behind closed doors

at this stage

[MerryBlooms]

43. Holy cow!

Tick-tock fuckers, time's run out. Whole administration is guilty. Start calling out the pos republicans on the committees who are complicit in these crimes.
