NEW: Asked about 2020 interference, Putin joked: "We'll definitely do it." This was during a panel at Russian Energy Week.

“I’ll tell you a secret: Yes, we’ll definitely do it,†Putin said, adding in a stage whisper: “Just don’t tell anyone.â€
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo confirmed Wednesday that he was on the July call in which President Trump pressed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate former vice president Joe Biden and his son.
Pompeo’s acknowledgment, at a news conference in Rome, came at the start of what is shaping up as another busy day in the drive for impeachment by House Democrats.
The two key figures in the drama — Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) — are scheduled to hold separate news conferences on Wednesday. Pelosi is appearing in the morning with House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.), while Trump is scheduled to hold a joint news conference with the president of Finland.

Good morning
Little known impeachment fact.
In June 1973, Jesuit priest Robert Drinan (D-MA4) became the first to petition for impeachment of Richard Nixon, as he felt the secret bombing of Cambodia was a ‘high crime and misdemeanor’. While that petition was voted down, he served on the Judiciary Committee and was instrumental in the investigation process into Nixon.
While he personally felt abortion was “literal infanticide†his constituents felt otherwise, so he was very pro-choice in Congress, causing so much ire amongst the Catholic hierarchy that in 1980 Pope John Paul II forbade any priests from participating in electoral politics.
Now we have charlatans like Pastor* Jeffress and Reverend* Graham actively promoting Civil War 2, defending a traitor.
And people wonder why religion is dying.

I was thinking the exact same thing. If I were in his position I'd think seriously about passing his torch to someone else.
Bernie's dx and treatment is pretty SOP these days (if you have medical care and don't blow off the signs and symptoms)

He will hopefully do fine, but you're supposed to take it easy for a while, and follow your doctor's instructions.

"Obama added, however, that GOP officials were complaining anyway. 'Maybe they’ll need a moat,' he said to laughter. 'Maybe they want alligators in the moat. They’ll never be satisfied'.â€
