Sondland is having a really good time up there. He seems to find lawyer Charlie's-uncle's bumbling amusing.

Again, attacking Sondland's reliability is the only good argument they have. Why he didn't start hammering on that from the beginning instead of letting Sondland expand his testimony is beyond me.

brilliant trial strategy: spend 44 minutes asking the witness for testimony as if it is truthful and valid to try to help your side, then spend your last minute explaining why we should not believe it

It does seem that the Republicans couldn't convince a single trial attorney to get in the boat with them.

yeah this is inexcusable

not all lawyers are trial lawyers, but you can get good trial lawyers to defend the utterly indefensible just for the challenge of it and i gotta believe you can find a republican trial attorney who was competent and would give this a college try

edit: that said, those competent trial attorneys demand to be in charge of the strategy so that's probably the issue heh

Seriously, Schiff should just let them do this all day. They didn't have enough questions to fill out 45 minutes, God only knows what they'll bumble into with 30 more.

Hey, EW, a lawyer question: How much does it hurt Castor as a cross-examiner that he has to fill out 45 minutes of time? What's stopping him from just, you know, not running out the clock and saying "I'm done here, I yield back"?

It's a literal plot point in Veep because everyone loving knows those ambassadorships go to donors and people you need to pay off for helping you
