A suit in card games that outranks all other suits for the duration of a hand.

Fox News' Judge Andrew Napolitano says it's "very, very troublesome" for Trump's White House if they omitted key parts of Ukraine transcript.

Co-host Ainsley Earhardt said the entire probe "all goes back to that phone conversation, which we've all read the transcript." But Brian Kilmeade said it could be "devastating" for the Trump administration if people begin to challenge the phone record.

"That to me is very, very troublesome for the White House if there are parts of that transcript they intentionally kept out," Napolitano said. He also pointed out that the public is beginning to get "a lot of context about what preceded and what followed the phone conversation," thanks to the impeachment probe.

A majority of Americans in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll give Donald Trump credit for the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, but at a level that far lags credit for Barack Obama after the killing of Osama Bin Laden.

Fifty-four percent say Trump deserves at least some credit for al-Baghdadi’s death in a raid by U.S. special forces Saturday in Syria. That compares with 76 percent who credited Obama for the raid that killed bin Laden.

Trump says he wants to read Ukraine call transcript in TV 'fireside chat.'

He said, “At some point, I’m going to sit down, perhaps as a fireside chat on live television, and I will read the transcript of the call, because people have to hear it.” Trump also floated the idea of making T-shirts with the message “Read the transcript” as part of the White House strategy to defend him in the impeachment inquiry, which is likely to proceed in the next few months to a congressional trial in the Senate.

Wrong whistleblower, we've been talking about Vindman for the last couple of pages. I know it's getting hard to keep track of all these leaks.

I know but now it's just Vindman and his silly story including tampering with the records alone now.
