The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.42% advanced 114.75 points, or 0.4%, to finish at 27,462.11, surpassing its previous record close of 27,359.26, set on July 15. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.56% gained 46.80 points, or 0.6%, to close at 8,432.20, while the S&P 500 index SPX, +0.37% rose 11.36 points, or 0.4%, to end at 3,078.27. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 ended at record highs for the second consecutive session.
All three equity benchmarks also hit all-time intraday highs. The last time the three major indexes ended at record highs on the same day was July 15, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
So one of the major issues (the angst over trade issues) seems to be subsiding as progress is being made with most all of our trading partners, including China. This is one of those long games that the President continues to play, accepting the short term criticism from the usual critics, in order to advance something larger down the road. While sometimes the markets are slow on the take, they eventually come around.

“HE MUST be brought forward to testify,” President Trump fumed on Twitter on Monday, regarding the whistleblower who revealed the president’s corrupt attempts to extort political favors from Ukraine. “Written answers not acceptable!”
The president considered written answers more than adequate when special counsel Robert S. Mueller III sought information from Mr. Trump during the Justice Department’s Russia investigation. More to the point, if Mr. Trump were interested in fact-finding and truth-telling, rather than distracting from the substance of the charges against him, he would provide documents and encourage all relevant witnesses to testify. Instead, administration officials are refusing to testify before the House Intelligence Committee — officials who likely have firsthand knowledge crucial to the House’s impeachment inquiry.
Robert Blair, an aide to acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, was on the call during which Mr. Trump pressed Ukraine’s president to investigate former vice president Joe Biden. John Eisenberg, a National Security Council lawyer, reportedly suggested limiting access to the transcript of that call and told others not to discuss it. Russell Vought, the acting director of the Office of Management and Budget, might shed light on Mr. Trump’s peremptory suspension of military aid to Ukraine, an act that appears to have been an element in the president’s corrupt pressure campaign.

These no-shows are just the latest examples of the contemptuous war Mr. Trump and his allies have waged on Congress and its legitimate, constitutional oversight role, starting well before the impeachment inquiry. Even when Republicans controlled both chambers, former White House adviser Stephen K. Bannon absurdly claimed executive privilege to refuse to answer congressional questions. A White House lawyer in June stopped former Trump aide Hope Hicks from answering even basic queries, on the lawless argument that the one-time presidential assistant had absolute immunity from testifying. That is the same basis on which government lawyers claim former White House counsel Donald McGahn and former deputy national security adviser Charles Kupperman bear no duty to testify before Congress.
Judges will almost certainly dismiss these arguments, but likely too late for their ruling to be useful to the House impeachment inquiry. The record already contains damning evidence of Mr. Trump’s misconduct, but the public deserves to learn the full stor
