But enough about me, how are you enjoying the impeachment inquiry so far?

. Philip Reeker is testifying on a Saturday
Reeker has served in the role in an acting capacity since March following the departure of A. Wess Mitchell in February. He has known former US Special Envoy for Ukraine Kurt Volker, who was an early witness in the impeachment inquiry, for decades. According to the former State Department official, the two would check in with each other, and Volker wanted to keep Reeker in the loop on what was happening with US-Ukrainian relations. That official said they did discuss President Trump's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, and that Volker had told Reeker about when he met with Giuliani. Reeker seemed to indicate he did not want to get involved with the matter, according to the official.
Reeker was among the State Department officials who sought to shield former US Ambassador to Ukraine Marie "Masha" Yovanovitch from the campaign of false allegations against her in March, according to internal emails turned over to Congress by State Department Inspector General Steve Linick in early October. Yovanovitch was removed from her post in May.
Another former State employee who is defying the will of the fat lying bastard.

So far all the leaks have done is confirm, he didn't really know what was taking place in either of the instance.
He supports Yovanovitch, but his biggest gripe was he couldn't pursuade Pompeo to back her. I think the libs are realizing that she is a nothing burger as it's within the powers of the POTUS to remove an ambassador at will.
And his knowledge of the issues regarding the phone call amounted to him finding out about it when the whistle blower stepped forward.
Little apparently came from his testimony.
. US judge says Trump impeachment inquiry legal
A US judge on Friday handed a major victory to House Democrats investigating US President Donald Trump and directed his administration to hand over an unredacted copy of secret grand jury testimony from special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation.
US District Judge Beryl Howell also found that House Democrats are engaged in a legal impeachment inquiry, undercutting arguments from House Republicans and the administration that launching the probe is illegitimate without an initial vote.

So another week and another whole lotta nothing in the circus that is this non-impeachment trial.
