What was the point of grilling Goldman over the cross referencing of phone numbers? Wouldn’t you always dig into who a criminal conspirator is talking to? I mean other than grandstanding about it. Goldman obviously didn’t want to answer.

Attacking the process to create the idea that the Democrats broke the law because something-something witch hunt ignore the actual crimes exposed here.

because they're incredibly butthurt that Devin Nunes got caught? and, apparently, they think that someone "gave an order" to figure out who was associated with what phone number, which is absolutely baffling

Point of order/call to question/parlimentary inquiry are all part of the various mechanics used to run and manage formal meetings like these. Recognizing speakers, yielding time, it's all nuts and bolts stuff. It's hilarious because a point of order is generally going to be something relatively limited - afaik it's for when something is mechanically out of line, and is definitely not for "I think the chairman is a big meany". These are some basic loving details that all these congresspeople should mostly know if they weren't dumb as rocks.

There is something comforting in hearing Goldman explicitly, by using factual statements, shoot down republican talking points. Even if it doesn't matter, it's still nice.

That's because in the Conservative mind think someone has to order to do things like this, because in their world none of them do anything like this without orders.

It's like any organization that has questionable morals or inner workings. You are encouraged to not dig into anything and to mind your own business.

Also one would think they want to give some payback for taking out one of theirs.

Kind of weird though that he's apparently allowed to making a statement when he is supposed to be a witness...?



I... is he using the fact that Ukrainians were apparently uncomfortable with publicly announcing what Trump wanted them to as evidence that we have no idea what Zelensky would say, which... means... what, exactly? :psyduck:

this, its not for the right or even progressive reasons, but a ton of people hate trump and that will probably help alot in 2020 espcially if the senate makes it into a giant farce.
