and the drama goes on.......

Despite the profane Stone texts and caustic friendships that have dominated chatter about the case, the Republican provocateur’s court battle will likely be remembered for something far different: It revealed that Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign aides knew more about WikiLeaks’ plans than they have let on, and the president may have later misled Robert Mueller about it.
Buried amid days of blasphemy and bombast were quieter new details that collectively showed Trump and his aides discussed WikiLeaks with Stone months earlier than anyone has acknowledged. The revelations have immediately raised questions about Trump’s claims — made months later under oath to the special counsel — that he did not recall any such conversations with Stone.

Is Drumpf paying bribes now?
https://www.politico.com/news/2019/10/31/trump-impeachment-senators-donor-062084
Normally, I would say this is just the head of his party helping vulnerable members during an election cycle. But this particular cycle has a lot of agendas hidden from view. Like, for example, is Trump now buying support in the Senate to fight impeachment?
"""
On Wednesday, the Trump reelection campaign sent a fundraising appeal to its massive email list urging donors to provide a contribution that would be divided between the president and Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner, Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst, and North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis. Each of the senators are supporting the anti-impeachment resolution despite being endangered in 2020.

It will be interesting to see how many of these long term diplomats come forward with information. It will help cement the idea of a deep state for all of the Tump loyalists.

Mick Mulvaney gets added to the impeachment circus. How and who leaked this will be interesting. I love Bolton's blurt on the topic, and I love his assessment of Giuliani.

Mr. Bolton instructed Fiona Hill to notify the chief lawyer for the National Security Council that Mr. Giuliani was working with Mick Mulvaney on a rogue operation with legal implications according to two people familiar with her closed-door testimony.

The career diplomat was recalled from her post in May after criticism from some Republicans, including Donald Trump Jr., the president's eldest son, that she was not supportive of the administration's policies. She was appointed by former President Obama in 2016 and confirmed without any controversy by the GOP-led Senate.

Just more Ukraine surprises

This barrel of angry cats might still be just spilling out.
This could keep going. And there are other "findings" yet to come.
More whistle blowers. etc.

This is conjecture
https://www.alternet.org/2019/10/maine-senator-suggests-that-at-least-20-minutes-are-cut-from-rough-transcript-of-trumps-conversation-with-zelensky-we-dont-know-what-is-missing/
The words “rough transcript” have often been used to describe a publicly released summation of President Donald Trump’s now-infamous July 25 phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky; it was not a full transcript but rather, was based on what notetakers wrote down. And Maine Sen. Angus King, an independent, has suggested that at least 20 minutes of the conversation are missing from the rough transcript/White House memo that has been publicly released.
certainly was not a scientific analysis of the transcript, but it is an interesting question. Doubt we will ever see the full transcript.
