...ok so if I understand right. Gym Jordan's logic is "This crime didn't happen because there was no meeting about it and no announcement" ...because he's stupid.

I have a feeling that having ambassadors testify first is a very smart move for the Dems, as they're really good at speaking and being unflappable

Gym Jordan's logic is "This crime didn't happen because there was no meeting about it and no announcement" We are in a hearing about private phone calls and he is hinging his point on the fact that the aid was released before the president gave *public* statements about the investigation. He is saying that the president had to have gone out and said "we are going after Hunter Biden" in a public forum for anyone to know that they would do it. You can't make this poo poo up

 Taylor is 100% not intimidated by Jordan Currently he's trying to prove that Taylor could in no way have a 'clear understanding' of the Ukraine situation because of how confusing all this poo poo is StrangersInTheNight fucked around with this message at 19:48 on Nov 13, 2019 |

Jordan is just talking loud and fast with that lovely tone and will do so this entire hearing if they yield to him. Bold strategy Cotton.

Gym's argument is essentially "This is confusing, therefore you're wrong!" and talking fast to confuse things. this is all they have.

evilweasel posted:they didn't, but if they pretended they wanted them to be public they could pretend that things were going super for trump behind closed doors It's distressing and sad to realize how brazen and bad things have gotten. I mean, in general, really, but seeing it all on display in Castor and Nune's lines of questioning, in particular, makes me feel gross. Ice Phisherman posted:Hunter Biden getting getting a job through the federal jobs initiative for rich failsons isn't a crime. It's just incredibly unethical and it should be a crime, which I agree with. If republicans want to push that no one should have these jobs then I'm loving sold, but they won't because many of their sons and daughters are milking that same titty. Even the president is handing out jobs to his kids. It doesn't hold water if you think about it for more than five seconds. This is just the most convenient narrative that sticks. I'd agree that they're not equal, and the attempts to equate the two of them have been pretty disingenuous! Failed Imagineer posted:I think Gym Jordan is either auditioning for a guest feature on Eminem's next album, or a job as an auctioneer He's doing his best to talk over the Ambassador and cut him off whenever possible. I suppose it is a strategy of some kind, but probably not one which will win any new hearts over to the President's cause.

Gym Jordan's logic is "This crime didn't happen because there was no meeting about it and no announcement" He's the first person on the R side that has any sort of line of questioning that at least...makes sense.

Gym Jordan saying that Taylor's recollection is too complicated to be valid, and that his entire complaint is based on hearsay. It's going to look really bad when Sondland testifies and clarifies his opinion again.

Gym Jordan’s strategy is to talk fast in a confusing way and then claim that Sonderland’s testimony is too confusing

I think Jordan didn't do as terrible a job as he might: he did a good job of going on a long, misleading rant and then ending with a precise, narrow question that got a "yes". It could easily mislead people into thinking that the witness agreed with his nonsense rant (or at least didn't dispute it).
