Do we actually know that they brought contraband electronics into the secured area, or was that something people are surmising from the tweets themselves and the plausibility of it given the actors involved?

Finally read Taylor's testimony. Besides the fact that it's utterly damning to the President, it's also extremely compelling reading. Just purely from a narrative standpoint it had me gripped. It's written and plays out like a thriller. When reading it I could see the inevitable movie version in my head. If you haven't read it do so.

evilweasel posted:also, trump or his aides getting pressed in live questioning has lead to enormously damaging admissions (it's why he never does interviews outside of hannity anymore) so the idea we should stop doing that is incredibly stupid "We must give the president unlimited airtime to spew lies, hate, and conspiracy theories because we're all convinced that one of us will get a Legally Blonde-style incriminating admission out of it, one day."

Where can we find out who is actually in these hearings? Is it the whole Intelligence committee, a subset? Is it posted somewhere official?

Didn't he, or his cutouts, do exactly this several times in the last couple weeks? Not that I'm saying it's a good strategy, but the idiot and his men self-incriminated or blew their own alibis to poo poo several times.

We shouldn't be surprised if the Republicans start to do this for any proceeding they disagree with. Just storm the room and bring it to a permanent halt. https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/1187052920287698944

Yeah and who can honestly imagine Trump suddenly doing an about face and actually handling all of this well? If anything he's just going to end up more irate and irrational and just do more crimes and sabotage his own defense even more. Chance that he gets removed from office is rapidly going up

Yes, that's what we're currently allowing Trump and the GOP to do and they're winning because we're not confronting them on their bullshit. Just look at the Gaetz stunt today, not a single reporter has pointed out to him that all of these proceedings are being done under the rules that the republicans set during the Benghazi "scandal". We're just letting them spout their bullshit freely.
