Nunes is auditioning to host a show on RT after he leaves Congress.

Nunes: And now I will read an entirely different call, not at all at issue for these hearings. And I will not take into account the power imbalance between the two countries.

Schiff needs one of those "No" buttons they sell at Staples that just says "Gentleman is not recognized."

I love that Stefanik interrupts to say that Schiff "will be interrupting."

Yovanovich's understanding of the danger of Russian aggression puts her squarely at odds with the American president's desire to reward it.

because that's something that happens now

I am glad that they are addressing the power imbalance between US and Ukraine, which implicitly undercuts Trump's constant refrain that Zelensky said he didn't feel pressured.

What else could he say?

Zeldin on C-Span is unwatchable. It's a five minute tragicomedy about America that leaves you with a sinking feeling about the future.

If Stefanik had genuine questions that Nunes found important, he could have asked them himself. They are playing for the cameras. Well, one camera, at least.

I see Nunes is going ahead with the "Look at all the times he didn't commit a crime" defense.

Stefanik's definition of "interruption" is being told not to interrupt.

It seems that Turner is trying to prove that he has never heard of lawyers.

You know, everyone, including me have been saying that the release of totally different phone calls is akin to saying “look at all the times I went to a bank and didn’t rob it” and it is.

But...

I do find it newsworthy that Trump could get through a phone call without committing impeachable offenses.

I disappeared from the thread just as so many people joined it. I had to finish writing a column.

But I did share my thoughts on today's hearing with @BILD; so if you speak German you can read it here.
