4. That is a very, very tall man.

I saw the same guy with Fiona Hill yesterday, and remarked on his height.

10. Yes, I noticed that, too.

Even taller than James Comey, it would appear.

11. Twitter notes that tall guy is not Kent. Kent has the bow tie. nt

[Ninga]

6. Ha. His resume is spectacular. He speaks so many languages. Too too bad the GOP questioners

are incapable of formulating educated thoughtful questions in English.

NEWS: The State Department and White House tried to block George Kent from appearing -- so the House Intel Committee subpoenaed him, according to a source working on the impeachment inquiry. He is complying with the subpoena.
