...Schiff's ties to a wealthy Russian-American businessman doing business in Ukraine have recently come to light. Igor Pasternak is CEO of Worldwide Aeros Corp., a company that makes blimps for the military and commercial sectors. The company also makes a modified version of the M4 and M16 rifles that are manufactured in Ukraine. His connection to Pasternak, who is doing business with the Ukrainian government, could be construed as being a conflict of interest in his committee's investigation.
I.e., sexual harassment; the only question left is 'did he hit on guys or gals?'
[Zero Hedge] - The Elizabeth Warren campaign has fired its national organizing director, Rich McDaniel, over allegations of "inappropriate behavior," according to Politico.
"Over the past two weeks, senior campaign leadership received multiple complaints regarding inappropriate behavior by Rich McDaniel," said Warren spokesperson Kristen Orthman.
"Over the same time period, the campaign retained outside counsel to conduct an investigation. Based on the results of the investigation, the campaign determined that his reported conduct was inconsistent with its values and that he could not be a part of the campaign moving forward."

Frank, Indian Giver was D.C. ! It wasn't Indians giving it was "giving" to Indians.
So since the D.C. Indian princess is involved it's more complicated. Perhaps cheating herself?

[Real Clear Politics] In this clip from a January 2018 appearance at the Council on Foreign Relations, former Vice President Joe Biden seems to brag about threatening to withhold military aid to Ukraine as a pressure tactic to force the firing of a prosecutor he did not like.
In September 2019, House Democrats launched a formal impeachment inquiry into President Trump over a whistleblower's accusation that he threatened to withhold aid to Ukraine as a pressure tactic to force the Ukrainian government to investigate allegations that Joe Biden's son Hunter benefited financially from the firing of that same Ukrainian prosecutor. "Well SOB, he was fired."

[The Hill] President Trump on Friday mocked Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) by posting a video using clips from the Disney movie "Pinocchio" to imply that the House Intelligence chairman had been lying about a whistleblower who filed a complaint relating to Trump's dealings with Ukraine.
The clip uses footage of statements Schiff has made about the whistleblower interspersed with footage of Pinocchio's nose growing. It ends with the Blue Fairy, a character in the film, saying to Pinocchio "perhaps you haven't been telling the truth."
"But I have, every single word," replied the puppet, whose nose had grown significantly.

Projection alert ! [The Hill] While choosing his words carefully, Murphy made clear ‐ by his own account ‐ that Ukraine currently enjoyed bipartisan support for its U.S. aid but that could be jeopardized if the new president acquiesced to requests by President Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani to investigate past corruption allegations involving Americans, including former Vice President Joe Biden’s family.
Murphy boasted after the meeting that he told the new Ukrainian leader that U.S. aid was his country’s "most important asset" and it would be viewed as election meddling and "disastrous for long-term U.S.-Ukraine relations" to bend to the wishes of Trump and Giuliani.
"I told Zelensky that he should not insert himself or his government into American politics. I cautioned him that complying with the demands of the President's campaign representatives to investigate a political rival of the President would gravely damage the U.S.-Ukraine relationship. There are few things that Republicans and Democrats agree on in Washington these days, and support for Ukraine is one of them," Murphy told me today, confirming what he told Ukraine's leader.
The implied message did not require an interpreter for Zelensky to understand: Investigate the Ukraine dealings of Joe Biden and his son Hunter, and you jeopardize Democrats' support for future U.S. aid to Kiev.
The Murphy anecdote is a powerful reminder that, since at least 2016, Democrats repeatedly have exerted pressure on Ukraine, a key U.S. ally for buffering Russia, to meddle in U.S. politics and elections. Emphasis added.
[Washington Examiner] Rep. Devin Nunes of California charged that Democrats are conducting impeachment in secret in order to hide their paucity of evidence against President Trump.
"I call it faux impeachment," Nunes told the Washington Examiner on Friday. "By running it in the House Intelligence Committee, they’re trying to keep all of the information from the American public. And I understand why, because every witness we have that comes in bombs out for them.
Nunes is calling the Democrat-driven impeachment inquiry illegitimate, insisting that Trump’s attempt to push the Ukraine government to investigate political rival Joe Biden was unequivocally appropriate.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is moving the impeachment inquiry through the Intelligence Committee, where Nunes, a close Trump ally, serves as the top Republican. In an interview, the congressman sounded confident the inquiry would flop, even amid fresh indications the president might have sought to use U.S. foreign policy levers to affect an agreement from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to target Biden, the former vice president and a Democrat Trump could face in 2020.
"The House has to take a vote in order for them to really start the impeachment process, to give us subpoena power ‐ the Democrats subpoena power, so that you can have a real investigation and then members of Congress can decide whether or not impeachment is appropriate," Nunes said. However, even if a majority of the House votes to support opening an impeachment inquiry, Nunes said he would defer to the White House on whether it should honor subpoenas.
The impeachment inquiry centers around a July telephone call, revealed by a whistleblower complaint, in which Trump asked Zelensky to investigate Biden and his son, Hunter. According to a summary transcript that Trump says is accurate, the president asked Zelensky to work with his personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, and Attorney General William Barr to investigate the Bidens and the origins of the Russia probe overseen by Robert Mueller.

'I have received information'
In his written complaint, the CIA officer who became the whistleblower framed his allegations this way: "I have received information from multiple U.S. government officials that the President of the United States is using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 election."
But when he first passed on his concerns, they were not so specific, officials said. He first complained at his own agency, sending word through a colleague to a CIA lawyer. The complaint eventually reached the spy agency's top lawyer, Elwood, officials said.
She was told there were concerns about the president's conduct on a call with a foreign leader, but not which leader, officials said.
[NYPOST] House Democrats’ "impeachment inquiry" is looking more and more like a kangaroo court ‐ a rush to make President Trump look as bad as possible, as quickly as possible, rather than an effort to get all the facts on the public record. Case in point: Their handling of this week’s hearing with former US Ukraine envoy Kurt Volker.
Democrats rushed out of the closed-door sitdown to claim Volker’s testimony was damning to President Trump. But Republicans claimed the reverse ‐ and, tellingly, they’re the ones calling for the transcript to be made public.
Equally important, the texts that Volker shared with the committee (leaked to ABC News) indicate the president wasn’t using military aid to blackmail Ukraine’s leaders.

When the exact same evidence yields diametrically opposed interpretations, there is no possibility of a conviction.

Every person involved in this attempted coup needs to be convicted of attempting to overthrow the US government and put in jail or stuck in a glass jar in death valley so we can watch on pay per view.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Doctors confirmed on Friday that US Senator Bernie Sanders ...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being a socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around... suffered a heart attack three days ago, as they announced that he had been released from hospital in Las Vegas.
Sanders, 78, said he felt "great", according to a statement from his campaign for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.
"Senator Sanders was diagnosed with a myocardial infarction," his doctors said in the statement, using the medical term for heart attack.
"Two stents were placed in a blocked coronary artery in a timely fashion. All other arteries were normal.
"His hospital course was uneventful with good expected progress."
Sanders put his bid for the White House on hold after experiencing chest discomfort while on the stump in Las Vegas on Tuesday.
Sanders is the oldest candidate vying to take on President Donald Trump ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... , 73, and is third in the Democratic nominee polls behind Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden ...Failed seeker of the Democratic presidential nomination on multiple occasions, vice president under Barack Obama, giving it a last try in his dotage for 2020... , 76, and Elizabeth Being Native American has been part of my story since the day I was born Warren ...Dem Senatrix from Massachussetts, who traces her noble lineage all the way back to Big Chief Spouting Bull. It has been alleged that she speaks with forked tongue but she denies that. She had a DNA test to prove her lineage and it turns out she's colorless... , 70.
Sanders’ health has generally been good and it has been Biden who has had to bat away questions about his stamina and mental sharpness.
In March, Sanders gashed his head on a shower door and had seven stitches, but quickly returned to the campaign trail.

Yep, been there done that.
Had a heart attack in Hawaii and was flown by air ambulance to big island from Kauai. Two stents and three days later, was back in Kauai finishing my vacation.

Thanks so much for the glimpse of what I probably have to look forward to.
There are things out there that remove / dissolve blockages in the arteries. I've been taking one of them for a year now and I've even noticed the improved circulation in my feet, which has always been a bad area for me, as my feet used to be the first thing to get really cold when I'm skiing (no more) and when I ride my bike. My feet did not get cold when I did a one hour ride in early spring (temp. was about 55 degrees); before that it would be a sure thing after 40 minutes.

I'm using something called Ningxia Red; the main / basic ingredient is goji berries / wolfberries as well as pomegranate juice, whose attributes include, among others, being a massive antioxidant. It contains a lot of other minerals and is an additional source of protein.
I go through this company called Young Living, but you can probably find something like it at the hippy health food store. I found goji berry extract at the Asian food market here in Quincy, so I have that as well.
Basically I drank 4 oz's of this stuff for two months (the recommendation is three) in order to insure you just clear everything out, then you can reduce it from there, as I cut my daily intake in half.
BOOM: Nancy Pelosi's son Paul Pelosi Jr. (who went to Ukraine in 2017) was a board member of Viscoil and executive at its related company NRGLab, which DID ENERGY Business in UKRAINE!
And Nancy Pelosi appeared in a promotional video for the company!
