Impeachment hearing raises question who is in charge of US foreign policy: Trump or 'interagency consensus'? By Nebojsa Malic, senior writer at RT

"“Under the Constitution, the President of the United States determines US foreign policy,” is how the official State Department page describing the Secretary of State’s duties puts it. Last anyone checked, and however many people apparently hate that fact and have vowed to resist it, that president is one Donald J. Trump – not Alexander S. Vindman. 

"That ought to be the end of the story, at least until the American electorate has a chance to decide on the question again in less than a year. Yet here are Vindman, Williams, and last week’s parade of bow-tied legacy bureaucrats arguing that... ...is improper, violates norms and practices, might hurt Ukraine, and just isn’t done in Washington. Doesn’t he [Trump] realize who they are?"

"When all is said and done, the entire word-thinking, mind-reading, dog-whistling construction being assembled in the House and the media resembles nothing more than 'Russiagate,' that debunked conspiracy theory Schiff himself spent years pushing with impunity."
