(53,342 posts)49. Partisan Lawyers Seize Leading Roles in Impeachment Hearings
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/19/us/politics/house-impeachment-lawyers-goldman-castor.html
The Democrats lawyer is a former assistant United States attorney with little love for the president.
The Democrats lawyer, Daniel S. Goldman, joined the House Intelligence Committee earlier this year, bringing expertise in prosecuting criminals and mobsters as a former assistant United States attorney in New York. Mr. Goldman, a 43-year-old father of five, is also well-versed in talking about investigations into President Trump as a paid legal expert on MSNBC. Republicans who have spent dozens of hours with Mr. Goldman sequestered in the Intelligence Committees basement offices conceded they had come to have a grudging respect for his work.
Mr. Goldman has been open about his low opinion of Mr. Trump. In a Twitter post last December, Mr. Goldman compared Mr. Trump to mob bosses he had prosecuted, saying Mob bosses are far smarter and way more savvy and discrete than Trump.
That same month, he wrote that the president, doesnt care about the country, just himself. Shameful. He used the hashtag #TrumpResign and LOL-ed in response to one of Mr. Trumps many Witch Hunt! tweets.
...
In questioning key witnesses in private depositions and in public, Mr. Goldman brings the staccato cadence of a seasoned prosecutor, often asking witnesses questions that would elicit yes or no responses. His years in the high profile United States attorneys office in the Southern District of New York and his time on MSNBC prepared him for the spotlight of the televised impeachment proceedings.

Thank you for the link. It is very interesting and the Wa Post did not block me out with a pay wall.

Kash Patel really should be dragged in to testify. That'd toast Nunes' chestnuts. nt
