Impeachment hearings start 11/13/2019

I am not trying to stop it.

Just pointing out how incredibly weak this is.

George Conway just advised that people look at this evidence, and imagine that it was Barack Obama who was being investigated.

That’s not going to happen. Many Trumpists are are Contitutionally incapable or unwilling to honestly ask themselves that.

You might have a problem.

Let’s see what can be done with 2 degrees of uncertainty.

So when do they start? Time?

First tweet of the day… Conflict of interest?

Keeping on the topic of today. My understanding is that yes Representatives during this public testimony will be able to turn their allotment of time to staff and professional lawyers in this proceeding. Just like the GOP did during the Associate Justice Kavanaugh’s confirmation.

So there is precedent.

Counsel frequently do the questioning during congressional investigations. The President is lashing out from his usual perspective of abnormally pronounced ignorance

Remember Alexander Butterfield admitting to the existence of an Oval Office taping system? That was under questioning by then watergate committee counsel Fred Thompson, whose best subsequent work was in Hunt for Red October.

I remember fondly when Thompson put his toe in the Presidential waters and posters here warned liberals to “Dread the Fred”. Still brings a smile to my face.

I remember that, too. Good days, indeed. I think it was mere weeks later that he was selling reverse mortgages on late night TV.

10am Eastern.

I have a feeling nationwide productivity will plummet.

Officially 10:00 AM Eastern…

But if I were Adam Schiff, I’d stall. Watching all the energy going into attacking every direction here, I can’t help but thinking that Adam Schiff has mastered the Rope-a-Dope.

For those of you who don’t get the reference: Ali vs. Foreman in Zaire, 1974. And Trump’s team is sounding a lot more like Foreman than Ali.

Thanks, I’ll listen to it on my morning drive. Should give me about a good hour of listening before work. This day is going to be delicious!

So who not watching because certain radio/tv personalities told you not to? Who is watching it, but ignoring everything presented also because certain radio/tv personalities told you to?

I’m asking for a friend.

I am at work now and unable to watch it.

No big loss. Here’s what you need to know in advance.

Witnesses to the facts will be seated behind the table in front.

Screaming witnesses to the process will be interspersed on the dais.

[WuWei]

Is Eric there?

[westaussie]

Watching it now.

[WuWei]

I like your nerve.
