The mod team will discuss it after the first day of this is done; this is sort of also paralyzing US politics in general as it is so there might not be much else happening in DC versus everyone being drawn into this

cool, @ or pm me and i'd be happy to do it, i agree it's not strictly necessary right now but i think this will increasingly consume all light and sound for the coming three months and it might be nice to have a space.

also, in non-TVIV days, it'd be easier to post news and updates strictly about what's happening in the investigation without it being eclipsed by the general churn of USPOL

Basically as I interpreted it, Schiff said he wasn't objecting to the specific question and would allow it, however he said that witnesses should not be compelled to answer questions that are based on facts that were not entered into evidence prior.

I.e. a witness doesn't have to answer a question that is based on evidence that someone just came up with out of their head.

It's great when the Republicans phrase statements as questions and the witness has to ask them what the gently caress they are getting on about

It makes perfect sense. He's not sure what he's talking about, so clearly nobody else is sure what they are talking about. That's the best I've got.
