Mueller didn't convince anyone, except everyone involved in the Papadopoulos, Manafort, Gates, Flynn, IRA, Pinedo, van der Zwaan, Kilimnik, 12 GRU officer, Cohen, and Stone indictments, guilty pleas, and verdicts.

I’m not sure I’ve heard what he’s trying to submit they have some bullshit where they're entitled to a "minority hearing day" by rule where the majority isn't allowed to say which witnesses come but it's not true, at all, no rule requires it, which we know because there would always be minority hearing days on every single committee for everything that matters if that were true

There's something sublime about watching Republicans mewling about imagined microscopic parliamentary procedure violations in defence of Donald loving Trump.

Josh Lyman posted:I’ve never heard of a minority hearing happening. To what are they referring? Majority on a committee can veto any witnesses called by the minority. Minority hearings is something the minority can ask for where they can call whoever they want without objection. Its never really used... https://www.everycrsreport.com/reports/RS22637.html It would have needed to be agreed upon when they set up the rules for the hearings in the beginning. Not in the middle of it like now

we haven't heard from Berke before in these hearings, his job has been to argue in the courts of appeal about McGahn/etc - he's doing a pretty good job with the beginning of the closing

Throwing a tantrum before your witness gets to speak doesn't seem wise - especially when Castor has been shaky every time.

So they're actually doing "You can't say these terrible things about the President, not because they're false, but because they're terribly damaging"? Bold move.
