I'll ask the obvious question that most people watching this hearing MUST be mumbling by now:

[Atticus]

"Aren't the Representatives supposed to ASK QUESTIONS?"

What is with allowing five minutes of screamed lies from the likes of Jordan, Gohmert and others while they ask not one question?

[lunatica]

1. Questions have to be answered.

Other than that they would ask them.

[EndlessWire]

30. Agree.

I think the strategy was to muddle and disrupt. They kept saying that there were no facts, when clearly there are admissions of facts. They have taken a page from Trump's mixed up world.

What really bugs me is this Jordan crap that closed hearings excluded Repubs in the basement. That's the stance they think will appeal most to the general Trump base, the myth of incorrect process, even if it isn't true.

I can't stand Jordan's whiny, strident voice. He's almost hysterical over his own lies.

[MerryBlooms]

2. There's no defense, so it's all they have.

We know nunes was in on the whole drug deal, I wonder how many of these clowns were/are too?

[DENVERPOPS]

24. You can bet your sweet ass

that there are a big bunch of Republican House Members, and all the Republican Senators that were in on it........

I am feeling that this Jordan asshole is one of the worst. Where do they get these assholes?

When I looked at Palin, Reagan, Trump, Pence, "W", I think to my self...."is this the 'best' that the Republicans have to offer" ????

[MerryBlooms]

25. The ones squealing loudest are probably running massive amounts of Russian $$$

through their campaigns. We know for sure mccarthy and nunes... Many others are, either directly or indirectly through NRA and such... nunes directly involved in the Ukraine scam. The republicans are up to their eyeballs in shady money, and if not out and out treason, borderline. Whole upper tier should be investigated. nunes and mccarthy should be removed from all committee seats and tossed.

[DENVERPOPS]

28. McConnell

McConnell's wife's mother and father are Chinese oligarchs who are friends with Russian oligarchs...month's ago there was a story about this and how they too funneled money thru the NRA. McConnell's wife is Chao? Secretary of something, maybe labor??????

The Senate Republicans all took money from NRA. The NRA got their money from Russia. Some Senate Republicans took millions of dollars, others less.
Old adage works here: He goes, we go.

Ross was laundering money and investments for decades before Trump made him Secretary of Commerce. After he was appointed, his income gained asinine levels.
He was a buddy of Trumps and had been helping him for decades also. Mutual Grifters........
Read Wiki on Wilbur? Ross.....at the end of the wiki report is a list of questionable investments, real estate deals, and some out right corruption for which he got slapped on the wrist. Wiki gives page after page after page of his dealings, many times with Trump.

He is right up there in massive corruption with McConnell and Trump...

[woodsprite]

29. Chao is transportation secretary. You know, infrastructure contracts, and

Where she can do the most good for her daddy's shipping business. Isn't secretary of labor the WWF lady?

[DENVERPOPS]

31. Thanks WS

[jayfish]

3. My Obvious Question Is...

why aren't the Ds attacking Turley's arguments directly? Directly to Turley? I don't get it. Make the man contradict his own BS.

[Atticus]

7. I think they have decided not to give him more face time than he is already getting.

He will only find a way to repeat his script no matter what he's asked.

[Mr.Bill]

12. True. We get more mileage

out of letting the other three witnesses speak as much as possible.

[AncientGeezer]

10. Because he's not an idiot and won't contradict himself.

As he stated in his opening statement(written testimony) he voted against the orange shithead.
I know why we don't.....the guy is well respected as a Constitutional authority.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. I agree. In fact they don't seem to refute at all. I would

Bring out the fact that he is pretty much saying there's not enough evidence...what would it take? Get him to say we need all docs and people to testify

[MerryBlooms]

26. They should be playing his audio/video statements impeaching his own testimony.

Plus, he is also in on the Ukraine scam. I missed quite a bit today, but hopefully someone put it into the official record.

[Newest Reality]

4. Yeah,

...but questions might lead to answers and it seems that answers might bring out truths and the GOP don't play that.

The party of deflections, projections and deceptions is doing its main thing, but of course, you know that.

[UpInArms]

5. The rule is

Never ask a question that you don’t know the answer... they know the answers ... they have no questions that exonerate trump

[AncientGeezer]

6. It's their 5mins...no rule that a question has to be asked.

[Atticus]

9. There ought to be such a rule IMHO. nt

[AncientGeezer]

11. Change 'em...we have the House

[ChubbyStar]

8. Every single person ever in an abusive relationship is weeping

The flashbacks are painful.

[Mr. Ected]

13. The people who think their reps are doing their job by yelling get their news

From broadcasters that yell at them as well. Unsubstantiated garbage at high volume equals righteousness to some Americans. As long as hating liberals is the baseline of their temper tantrums, the FOX listener will ignore the lack of facts and accept the yelling.

[Perseus]

14. They tried asking questions during the inquiry and it didn't go well for them

So I guess they decided that to continue acting like jackasses is the best they can do.

[tiptonic]

15. Jordan

Jordan must be working on his pardon from chump, in case he gets convicted, for the Ohio State thing.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. They can't deny the facts or the law so they have attack messengers & the Republican process.

That's right: the REPUBLICAN process. The Committees are following Republican rules.

That's what they attack. And calling black white as if the call and tRump actions are not abuse of power.

[scarletwoman]

18. How did the Intelligence Committee do it? They didn't do the 5 minute thing.

Why isn't the Judiciary Committee doing the same thing?

[djacq]

19. Repubs need to stop the Jedi Mind Tricks.

[CanonRay]

20. Thank heaven for the mute button

[iluvtennis]

21. + agree. And the DVR buffer recording - i had about 30-35 minutes in the buffer and zipped through

the cretins that were simply shouting and making speeches.

[PaulRevere08]

22. Why don't they just tell the Repubs to convince tRump to allow everyone who can answer the

first-person questions appear.

[flor-de-jasmim]

23. +100000

[stillcool]

27. I think it's part of the Banana Republic thing....

wait until Lindsey steps into the spotlight. He's probably rehearsing as we speak. It's kind of like a snake-oil-salesman thing.
