THE DIPLOMAD 2.0: New Whine in an Old Battle.

Let me put it in nice simple terms so that the Swamp Beings will understand: The President sets and conducts foreign policy, not State, not the NSC, not the DOD, not any other alphabet agency. He does not have to go through State or NSC to conduct said policy; he does not have to consult with Kent or Taylor or anybody else on Ukraine or any other aspect of foreign policy.

SERIOUSLY? If Democrats Are Worried About Releasing Testimony, Why Are They Leaking?

THIS IS THE PART IN WHICH I GLOAT: Joe Biden worked with whistleblower when he was vice president, officials reveal

You may recall — and if not, I’m sure as hell gonna remind you — that just yesterday I wrote, in Who Does the Whistleblower Know?:

I think the most plausible inference is that the whistleblowers are connected to Biden’s campaign, or to the DNC, and were shaken by the possibility of Biden and Crowdstrike being investigated because they know there is something there to be found.

I wonder what we’ll learn as the “modified limited hangout” continues.

MAKE ESPN SORRY: Takin’ It to the Stadium: How to Get Right Back in China’s Face.

China has been exerting a little too much pressure on US companies. Let’s not let them get away with it: let’s see how many thousand “FREE HONG KONG” signs we can get at the LSU game ESPN will televise.

Related (From Ed): ESPN warns staff against disparaging Chinese communism.

WHY WAS THE WHISTLEBLOWER “VISIBLY SHAKEN”? Who Does the Whistleblower Know?

UPDATE (FROM GLENN): I think it’s worth breaking out this bit from Charlie’s piece:

It seems to me — and this is just a plausible inference, I’m not asserting it’s the truth — it seems to me that the only people who would be “visibly shaken” by that would be someone who already has guilty knowledge of Crowdstrike, Burisma, or both.

Now, look at the really just astonishing irregularity of the “impeachment inquiry”: not just refusing to take it to the floor of the House, but the secrecy, the selective cherry-picking of releases, and the plan to prevent Republican members — not to mention the Nation — from learning anything about either WB1 or WB2.

I think the most plausible inference is that the whistleblowers are connected to Biden’s campaign, or to the DNC, and were shaken by the possibility of Biden and Crowdstrike being investigated because they know there is something there to be found.

It’s time for the Democrat majority on HPSCI to come clean: what did they know, when did they know it, and who are they really protecting with their unprecedented secrecy?

But read the whole thing, because there’s much more.
