His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Although Zelenskiy was \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/07/politics/volodymyr-zelensky-fareed-zakaria-ukraine-aid/index.html\">close to booking a CNN interview\u003c/a> in September, he never made the public commitment that witnesses have said Trump wanted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans argue this shows there was no inappropriate exchange and say the impeachment process has been a “sham.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plus the case is based on hearsay, they argue, because few witnesses heard directly from Trump and — for some supporters — Trump’s actions were legitimate or, at very least, not impeachable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes, R-Calif., also said Democrats have lost all credibility following former special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation and called their impeachment inquiry a “carefully orchestrated media smear campaign.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This spectacle is doing great damage to our country,” he said. “It’s nothing more than an impeachment process in search of a crime.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White House press secretary \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/PressSec/status/1194659763965038592\">Stephanie Grisham said\u003c/a> Democrats are squandering bandwidth they should be using on more important priorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/PressSec/status/1194659763965038592?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dems: Congress has no choice but to act\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/778380499\">No, Democrats argue\u003c/a>. They say that Trump has so abused his office that Congress has no choice but to reach for one of its rarest and most serious remedies — impeachment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Congress does not act, “the prospects for further corruption and abuse in this administration or any other will be exponentially increased,” said Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif. “If this is not impeachable conduct, what is?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schiff’s members are further frustrated by what they call a lack of cooperation from the Trump administration, which has sought to block many witnesses and withhold many documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have not received one piece of paper from the State Department relative to this investigation,” said Rep. Jackie Speier of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats have said Trump’s unwillingness to cooperate could become its own article of impeachment, one related to what they call obstruction of Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The process is moving on, however. Democrats have scheduled another public hearing for Friday with former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Maria Yovanovitch and three more hearings next week with a variety of witnesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investigators also said on Wednesday that they’ve scheduled closed-door depositions with two more witnesses: David Holmes of the State Department and Mark Sandy, an official from the Office of Management and Budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The diplomats\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Wednesday’s hearing, Schiff called Taylor and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State George Kent to tell their stories. They’ve already spoken to investigators in closed depositions and repeated much of their stories on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor’s detail about a staffer overhearing Trump’s phone call, however, was new.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kent is the senior State Department supervisor whose responsibility includes policy for Eastern Europe — except he was told to “keep his head down,” he says, and “keep a low profile” on Ukraine because the White House had hand picked “three amigos” to take that portfolio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kent also told lawmakers on Wednesday that he raised concerns during the administration of President Barack Obama about the appearance of conflict raised when the son of then-Vice President Joe Biden was hired to join the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian gas company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Kent also said he never saw any evidence that Biden leaned on Ukrainian officials not to investigate the company in a way that might have been improper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican counsel Steve Castor asked the witnesses whether Biden’s son Hunter had any expertise in Ukrainian energy issues or spoke Ukrainian or had any other training that might have qualified him for the role he took.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Do you know whether he possessed any other element — other than being the son of, at the time, the sitting vice president?” Castor asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has cited what he calls “corruption” involving the Bidens as the reason he says it’s appropriate that he tried to get Zelenskiy to investigate them. Castor also asked the witnesses to describe earlier instances of alleged corruption in Ukraine to build a foundation for that case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor is the acting boss of the U.S. diplomatic mission in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv. He told investigators that he learned about Trump’s desire for investigations from other diplomats and couldn’t explain to Ukrainians why their military assistance had been withheld.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kent and Taylor said they wanted to be nonpartisan “fact witnesses” but also acknowledged that they opposed Trump’s pressure policy, in part because it was run by Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani — not someone within the foreign policy establishment — and in part because they thought it was bad on its merits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Giuliani’s unofficial policy toward Ukraine “undercut” the official policy pursued by diplomats like Taylor, the ambassador said on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trump’s allies\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican lawmakers emphasized that neither Taylor nor Kent — nor others from whom Congress has heard — spoke directly with Trump and can describe his intentions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moreover, corruption is endemic in Ukraine and that is a solid basis upon which the White House should act, Republicans argued in a policy memo circulated on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another defense is that Trump’s invitation for foreign interference in the 2020 race might have been inappropriate, as Ohio Republican Sen. Rob Portman argued, \u003ca href=\"https://www.dispatch.com/news/20191007/ohio-gop-sen-rob-portman-trump-wrong-to-seek-help-from-ukraine-china\">but it isn’t impeachable\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats, meanwhile, rejected the idea that Trump didn’t do anything wrong simply because he didn’t succeed in getting the concessions he wanted from Zelenskiy.=\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, said the law recognizes the principle that a transgression interrupted may be as much a crime as much as one committed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Is attempted murder a crime?” Castro asked. “Is attempted robbery a crime? I think anybody in this room could answer that question. Is attempted extortion and bribery a crime?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But another Texan, Republican Rep. John Ratcliffe, said he believes nothing that has been developed in the investigation so far reveals anything improper. He made that point to the witnesses in a rhetorical question late into the hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Do you agree with me that we shouldn’t impeach a president for exercising his constitutional authority?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR diplomatic correspondent Michele Kelemen contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2019 NPR.

They say that Trump has so abused his office that Congress has no choice but to reach for one of its rarest and most serious remedies — impeachment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Congress does not act, “the prospects for further corruption and abuse in this administration or any other will be exponentially increased,” said Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif. “If this is not impeachable conduct, what is?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schiff’s members are further frustrated by what they call a lack of cooperation from the Trump administration, which has sought to block many witnesses and withhold many documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have not received one piece of paper from the State Department relative to this investigation,” said Rep. Jackie Speier of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats have said Trump’s unwillingness to cooperate could become its own article of impeachment, one related to what they call obstruction of Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The process is moving on, however. Democrats have scheduled another public hearing for Friday with former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Maria Yovanovitch and three more hearings next week with a variety of witnesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investigators also said on Wednesday that they’ve scheduled closed-door depositions with two more witnesses: David Holmes of the State Department and Mark Sandy, an official from the Office of Management and Budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The diplomats\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Wednesday’s hearing, Schiff called Taylor and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State George Kent to tell their stories. They’ve already spoken to investigators in closed depositions and repeated much of their stories on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor’s detail about a staffer overhearing Trump’s phone call, however, was new.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kent is the senior State Department supervisor whose responsibility includes policy for Eastern Europe — except he was told to “keep his head down,” he says, and “keep a low profile” on Ukraine because the White House had hand picked “three amigos” to take that portfolio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kent also told lawmakers on Wednesday that he raised concerns during the administration of President Barack Obama about the appearance of conflict raised when the son of then-Vice President Joe Biden was hired to join the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian gas company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Kent also said he never saw any evidence that Biden leaned on Ukrainian officials not to investigate the company in a way that might have been improper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican counsel Steve Castor asked the witnesses whether Biden’s son Hunter had any expertise in Ukrainian energy issues or spoke Ukrainian or had any other training that might have qualified him for the role he took.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Do you know whether he possessed any other element — other than being the son of, at the time, the sitting vice president?” Castor asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has cited what he calls “corruption” involving the Bidens as the reason he says it’s appropriate that he tried to get Zelenskiy to investigate them. Castor also asked the witnesses to describe earlier instances of alleged corruption in Ukraine to build a foundation for that case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor is the acting boss of the U.S. diplomatic mission in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv. He told investigators that he learned about Trump’s desire for investigations from other diplomats and couldn’t explain to Ukrainians why their military assistance had been withheld.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kent and Taylor said they wanted to be nonpartisan “fact witnesses” but also acknowledged that they opposed Trump’s pressure policy, in part because it was run by Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani — not someone within the foreign policy establishment — and in part because they thought it was bad on its merits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Giuliani’s unofficial policy toward Ukraine “undercut” the official policy pursued by diplomats like Taylor, the ambassador said on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trump’s allies\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican lawmakers emphasized that neither Taylor nor Kent — nor others from whom Congress has heard — spoke directly with Trump and can describe his intentions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moreover, corruption is endemic in Ukraine and that is a solid basis upon which the White House should act, Republicans argued in a policy memo circulated on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another defense is that Trump’s invitation for foreign interference in the 2020 race might have been inappropriate, as Ohio Republican Sen. Rob Portman argued, \u003ca href=\"https://www.dispatch.com/news/20191007/ohio-gop-sen-rob-portman-trump-wrong-to-seek-help-from-ukraine-china\">but it isn’t impeachable\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats, meanwhile, rejected the idea that Trump didn’t do anything wrong simply because he didn’t succeed in getting the concessions he wanted from Zelenskiy.=\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, said the law recognizes the principle that a transgression interrupted may be as much a crime as much as one committed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Is attempted murder a crime?” Castro asked. “Is attempted robbery a crime? I think anybody in this room could answer that question. Is attempted extortion and bribery a crime?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But another Texan, Republican Rep. John Ratcliffe, said he believes nothing that has been developed in the investigation so far reveals anything improper. He made that point to the witnesses in a rhetorical question late into the hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Do you agree with me that we shouldn’t impeach a president for exercising his constitutional authority?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR diplomatic correspondent Michele Kelemen contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But for the Office of Legal Counsel's opinion that bars charging a president, the former special counsel said to Rep.

John Ratcliffe, R-Texas, told Mueller that he had failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a prosecutor by writing that he could neither charge Trump nor \"exonerate him\" — because exoneration is not a prosecutor's job, Ratcliffe said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His job is to determine whether sufficient evidence exists to bring a charge and, if he can't, not only mustn't he bring the charge, he also must not reveal what he uncovered because there won't be an indictment, Ratcliffe said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You managed to violate every principle and most sacred tradition for prosecutors,\" the Texas congressman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLmpAbr6h5c\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ratcliffe asked Mueller whether he could cite a written Justice Department policy that permitted the specific actions he had taken with his investigation and his report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I cannot,\" Mueller said, \"but this is a unique situation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Steve Chabot, R-Ohio, sought to draw Mueller out about some of the more salacious aspects of the Russia imbroglio, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/04/25/586040491/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-russia-investigations-the-dossier\">the so-called Russia dossier\u003c/a> produced by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Mueller wouldn't go there. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said that matter was being handled by others inside the Justice Department and, at one point, said he didn't know either the names Fusion GPS — the political intelligence firm that commissioned the Steele material — or Glenn Simpson, its founder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mueller deferred again in the session with the House intelligence committee to address alternative hypothesis propounded by Ranking Member Devin Nunes, R-Calif., and other members about the early phase of the Russia investigation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's also being \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/05/24/726593232/barr-is-investigating-the-investigators-will-he-find-wrongdoing-or-political-fue\">investigated by others in the Justice Department\u003c/a>, Mueller said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNIipT35Eh4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The former special counsel also tried to dispute accusations that members of his team were politically biased because of their work with Democrats or political contributions. Mueller said he picked the most effective people for the job. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department calls for officials not to consider employees' political views when hiring or making assignment. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Reluctant Witness\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The white-haired former G-man didn't want to testify before Congress. He gave many one-word or monosyllabic answers, asked members of Congress to repeat themselves, and frequently responded by saying, \"I'd refer you to the report.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mueller \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/05/29/727847695/special-counsel-mueller-to-deliver-statement-on-russia-investigation\">said in a brief statement\u003c/a> at the Justice Department earlier this year that his report was his testimony and that he didn't think it would be appropriate for him to star in a big set piece event on Capitol Hill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Robert Mueller\" tag=\"robert-mueller\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The longtime prosecutor also sometimes appeared to struggle to follow which members of Congress were questioning him and he wasn't able to recount precisely, at one point, which presidents in the past had nominated him for which of the roles he has served.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats had insisted that Mueller appear. They negotiated for months and eventually compelled him with a subpoena. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nadler believed it would be valuable for more Americans to see and hear Mueller on TV describing what he found in his investigation, given that many people haven't read \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/04/18/708850903/read-the-full-mueller-report-with-redactions\">his report\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mueller documented a vast wave of interference by Russia's government in the 2016 presidential election with the object of hurting candidate Hillary Clinton and helping Trump get elected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The special counsel's office also documented many contacts between Trump's campaign and Russians during that time but did not establish a criminal conspiracy related to the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., mentioned during the intelligence committee hearing that national security officials — including, earlier this week, FBI Director Christopher Wray — have warned that election interference will continue through the 2020 presidential race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Knowing what Americans know today, Himes said, should a campaign contacted by foreign agents report that to the FBI?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It should and it can be — depending on the circumstances — a crime,\" Mueller said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As to Trump's praise for WikiLeaks in 2016 while it was revealing politically embarrassing material stolen by Russian government cyberattackers, Mueller was asked about his reaction to those comments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Problematic is an understatement,\" Mueller said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Volume II of Mueller's report details a number of instances that Democrats and other critics have called obstruction of justice, including attempts by Trump to remove Mueller himself — and then cover up those efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>President Sanguine\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Trump and his aides insisted they were unconcerned about Mueller's testimony.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/05/29/582724398/special-counsel-robert-mueller-steps-down-after-leading-russia-inquiry\">special counsel's office closed\u003c/a> without bringing any more \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/09/643444815/all-the-criminal-charges-to-emerge-so-far-from-robert-muellers-investigation\">criminal charges\u003c/a> against Trump's inner circle, and Trump has stressed that he views Mueller's report — which explicitly does not exonerate the president — as an exoneration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's private lawyer, Jay Sekulow, said ahead of the hearing that the legal team wouldn't have a \"war room\" running to countermessage Mueller's testimony. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump allies inside and outside the White House said they expected that the former special counsel wouldn't stray beyond his report, but still they faulted Mueller's hearings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This morning's testimony exposed the troubling deficiencies of the special counsel's investigation,\" Sekulow said Wednesday. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The testimony revealed that this probe was conducted by a small group of politically biased prosecutors who, as hard as they tried, we're unable to establish either obstruction, conspiracy, or collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump revisited some of his old attacks on Mueller as being \"conflicted\" and a \"never Trumper\" leading up to the testimony, but he also sought to appear calm about the hearings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All the same, the president \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1153997249497772032\">offered his own commentary\u003c/a> about the pre-gavel coverage before Mueller's opening statement on Wednesday: \"NO COLLUSION, NO OBSTRUCTION!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1153997249497772032\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only thing on Trump's schedule for Wednesday is a private fundraiser later in the day in West Virginia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president had said he wasn't planning to tune in to see Mueller — and then also said, \"Maybe I'll see a little bit of it.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, Trump tweeted and retweeted videos and commentary on the hearing throughout the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR White House correspondent Tamara Keith contributed to this report.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.
