    I, for one, like this line of statements suggesting that we need to hear directly from people who spoke to Trump and Trump himself. Let's get rid of this hearsay. Bring in the key witnesses that the subject of the investigation to testify under oath.

    Why does the GOP always let Jim Jordan out for things like this? He always looks like a complaining child, just screaming all the time, comes off as incredibly immature

    A more measured person like Will Hurd would make them look a lot better

    All about audience and intent. Hurd and Jordan play differently to different audiences.

    Except the idea that none of it ultimately happened is FACT while a response that it didn't happen is because the story went public would be biased "conjecture".

    Taylor is smart enough to avoid that. He's trying his best to stay impartial.

    Trump only wants to win even if America or its causes lose.

    Can't watch at that time slot but is this gonna be on TV everyday? I had my mother calling about missing her soap operas. Was Clinton's impeachment done this way also?

    These witnesses were credible, nonpartisan, and it is a shame that Republicans act in this way.

    The Republican counsel was a complete sham. How does he have a job?

    Him looking and acting the way he does is the entire strategy. The goal is to pound the desk as loud as you can, and make it as partisan as you can so people tune out. People with no shame are very useful in politics. Just go ask Trump.

    I know you went broke after the Mueller Russian collusion investigation because you were fully invested, how much were you able to invest in this **** show?

    I know you know, but he has a job because he can be a complete sham. He’s apparently good at what he was asked to do: generate vid clips for Fox and tweet fodder for our pal Commodore.

    I'm not even sure he was good at generating vid clips for Fox. I mean I can't imagine anything he did getting more attention than his line of questioning asking a witness 'that things could be worse, right?'

    That was one of the craziest things I've seen.

    I will say that if I was there, I would try very hard to befriend the guy and invite him to as many social functions as possible because he would always be good for a laugh even if it wasn't intentional on his part.

    I thought the show was entertaining. I was surprised that Schiff was able to keep his emotions in check. Both witnesses were definitely credible although once they were asked if they ever had a conversation with the president, it was clear they were asserting their opinion. It's pretty messed up that impeachment is now Pandora's box. We're going to have to go through this with every president from now on unless the next minority takes the high road. And it's sad, especially when there's an election next year. Just run someone with heartbeat and has taken their med's and you'll beat the guy in the election. That is if you don't stain the whole dam party with this joke. I mean "Heresay is sometimes better than direct evidence" ?? Whaaatt?? That actually sounds like a Trump tweet.
