Why not? I mean, Trump only surrounds himself with the very best people, right?

Well, right, but as with many things the Republicans on this committee have said, it's not only irrelevant except as a message to Trump, it's also false, and easily provably false at that.

That's what happens when you have a moronic racist ride the wave of racism he helped generate all the way to the White House, and those already in the establishment scramble to have the system function in some capacity for him and his whims.

At risk of beating a dead horse, facts don't matter at all anymore. We know they're full of poo poo, and so do they, and this administration began the first thing on the first day in office with an easily provably false statement about inauguration attendance.

Being easily proven false doesn't matter at all.

Mark Meadows (R-NC) just declared he wanted to go off the record while live on CSPAN. Is that a verbal tic for congress people at this point?

E: I'm watching CSPAN3 right now and the camera was lingering on Mark Meadows as he chatted with reporters. Now it's going between crowd shots of people milling about during the break. Are there spots for congress people to stand that the cameras will focus on them, or was that the camera person's own decision to focus on Mark Meadows' conversation?

No because he also went to the same lawyers. He's just upset that he didn't have the opportunity to frame it without an underling messing it up.

quote:

“In Russia, my act of expressing my concerns to the chain of command in an official and private channel would have severe personal and professional repercussions and offering public testimony involving the president would surely cost me my life. … Dad, my sitting here today in the U.S. Capitol talking to our elected officials is proof that you made the right decision 40 years ago to leave the Soviet Union and come here to the United States of America in search of a better life for our family. Do not worry, I will be fine for telling the truth.”

— Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, in his opening testimony before the House Intelligence Committee

This was either a lovely, inspiring reminder of the great hope that America has to offer, or a statement laced with deep, bitter irony! Stay tuned for which!

Jesus today is bad for Rudy and Sondland. Even the Republican witnesses are rat loving them.

Its like the moral quandry of changing tracks, do you hit 1 person or do you hit 5?
Well in this scenario Volker and Morrison are crucifying Rudy and Sondland to the track, and then making the train run over them.
