WAPO: "The Democrats’ impeachment bombshells aren’t exploding"

As we enter week two of the House impeachment inquiry, it seems pretty clear that Democrats are suffering a massive ordnance failure. Their “bombshells” are not exploding.
The first unexploded bombshell came when acting ambassador to Ukraine William B. Taylor Jr. testified that a member of his embassy staff had overhead a cellphone conversation between President Trump and Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, in a Kyiv restaurant in which Trump discussed the need for Ukrainian officials to pursue “investigations.” Aha, Democrats cried! A firsthand witness could now testify they heard Trump pressing the Ukrainians for investigations.
Um, so what? Trump had already released a rough transcript of his call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in which he had pressed him for investigations. The overheard call told us nothing we did not already know. Indeed, the only one likely to get in trouble from this revelation is Sondland, who violated operational security by calling the president in public on an unsecure cellphone.

Didn't these 'journalists" realize that Schiff had already leaked everything even remotely damaging prior to the public hearings?

Adam Schiff is apparently downvoting.

Anyone with an IQ over 70 can see it's a disaster.
Even Schiff's own witnesses are turning against him.

Good Lord. The comments are unreal. I can't believe some of these people actually believe what they're saying. To wit:
fricking loony tunes.

The Democrats are not dropping bombs, they are laying evidence, witness after witness. That evidence proves that Herr Drumpfschterr tried to bribe a foreign power into undermining an American election.

I think this will be the last week that the networks cover this farce. Cable news might still cover it, because what else do they have?

Morrison testified that the transcript was put on the secure server as a result of a mistake -- an administrative error.
This is after the White House said for a month that it was no big deal that the transcript was put on the secure server and that Trump did it all the time -- and so did Obama.
Now they're just going to change their story and say it was a mistake. Just forget about all that other crap we said for a month, we got a brand new story now?
You can't make this asinine horseshite up.
