What Went Down In Maguire’s Whistleblower Testimony

Maguire said he was using “Garmin” to get to work his first week. Very retro chic with his GPS software!

Lee, I think there are some Maguire quotes will be pulled out and re-used about the whistleblower’s credibility and about the unprecedented nature of all this, but I don’t think will do much to change public opinion.

Instead, and it seems almost weird to say this, I think the facts as they come out will matter most. So far, the facts have been relatively damaging to Trump, and we’ve seen early polls show support for impeachment increasing. Certainly if evidence of an explicit quid pro quo comes out, I would expect that to continue.

There has been a lot about process today — Democrats in the House seem peeved that they didn’t get the whistleblower sooner, and see some of this as a challenge to their status as a coequal branch of government, but I agree with Chad, the fact that we have the whistleblower’s testimony will be the driving news of the day.
