Only by following the process, which they did. But McGuire held up that process by a month, for some reason and in violation of the law. |
Not really. He was able to elicit specific and damning facts of the case from the witness. |
He let his tone undermine his excellent point. Trump is a savant in understanding the importance of appearance, staging, showmanship. Democrats have to be careful is HOW they make their case. That's also why I cringed when I heard Schiff's satiric interpretation of the transcript in his opening remarks. A rare mistake by Schiff. |
Isn't Bill Barr's son-in-law in the White House Office of legal Counsel?
Maybe he needs to be interrogated. |
This will be wrapped up by Christmas. |
Correct. Bill Barr’s son in law works in the White House Counsel’s office. https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/13/politics/barr-family-justice-department-moves/index.html |
The result, I think, is that his testimony is credible and damaging to the president. |
Completely agree on substance. Disagree on tone. I think Schiff (aside from his "interpretation" of the call memo) is a master of this. He conveys outrage and righteousness in a serious, compelling way and not in a shouting, sputtering, witchhunt-y way. |
Ugh. That's right! Good God. |
Yes. He definitely comes across as sincere and well-meaning. |
Wow. |
Don't be so sure. The Nixon impeachment hearings took over a year. The Senate Watergate Committee was formed in February 1973 and delivered its final report in June 1974. Nixon resigned in August 1974. |
Very good wrap-up by Schiff. |
And the House recommended articles of impeachment in July. He resigned less than 2 weeks later. We're well past all of the preliminary stuff. We could see articles of impeachment any day now. |
Well, he sure screwed up the opening with that ridiculous parody that was so misleading. |
