I'm somewhat convinced it's not only the Russians controlling Fox news but making all the comments too with fake accounts. How can any real American people be this stupid?
And there's plenty of mainstream American who think even Fox has gotten too liberal and have switched to the likes of One America News

Trump’s kindergarten-level messaging is actually exquisite as a matter of political rhetoric. It’s simple, easy to get, memorable, readily repeatable in any forum, and 100% bullshit that people won’t be able to catch because they don’t know enough about the underlying facts.
All posts by this account, even those referencing real things, are entirely fictional and are for entertainment purposes only; i.e. very low-quality entertainment. These may contain coarse language and due to their content should not be viewed by anyone

Tucker Carlson's trial balloon he sent up last week seems to have emboldened him to go a little further. Here is a quote from his interview with Gym Jordan tonight:

“I should say for the record that I’m totally opposed to these sanctions and I don’t think we should be at war with Russia,” Carlson said. “**We should probably take the side of Russia if we have to choose between Russia and Ukraine. That's my view.**”

“Emmanuel had an idea: Let’s tax those companies. Well, they’re American companies,” Trump said. “I’m not going to let people take advantage of American companies. Because if anyone’s going to take advantage of the American companies, it’s going to be us. It’s not going to be France.”
wow.

Nothing highlights Trump’s amateur status quite like these international events on foreign soil.

The legal witnesses were a blast.

Democratic witness 1: It’s impeachable
Democratic witness 2: It’s impeachable
Republican witness: no it’s not.
Committee: But you previously said that it was
Republican witness: oh that’s right it is

I'm late to tune in, but I think Turley is putting up a good argument for Trump. Maybe the only good argument I've seen since this began.

I just tuned in when he was arguing against drafting articles over obstruction of justice before letting Trump go to court to actually obstruct in a legal setting. I'd read a bit about this theory when the inquiry first began, and while I'm no expert, it seems like a sound legal argument.

What I'd read prior is that obstruction of justice only applies when the accused has obstructed pursuant to orders from the judicial branch. Taking that at face value, it seems like a fair defense.
