Democrats call:
Barry Berke, Majority Counsel, House Judiciary Committee
Daniel Goldman, Majority Counsel, House Intelligence Committee
Republicans call:
Steve Castor, Minority Counsel, House Judiciary Committee, House Intelligence Committee
Some audience member just did a big outburst for a minute and was escorted out.
Was that an audience member or was that Matt Gaetz?
I’m not kidding. I missed the whole thing but people are saying Matt Gaetz had something sort of outburst. I can’t tell if it was just him yelling “I object” at the very start or if the rant was him too.
It was just some rando in the audience.
Gaetz had a big fit about some parliamentary point of order that he yelled out without being recognized.

Someone said is was a jackass from InfoWars.
"I will write your name in the ruin of them. I will paint you across history in the color of their blood."
Me while the Democrats or one of their witnesses are talking:
"Yep. I agree with this. These facts have been gone over a dozen times, seems pretty air-tight. Lets get to the Republicans and see how they can possibly deny any of this."
Me while the Republicans or one of their witnesses are talking:
"Jesus fuck, my brain, this shit is unbearable. God, shut these clownshoes up and let someone reasonable talk."

Yes, the audience member who had an outburst and was escorted was a reporter from InfoWars, Owen Shroyer.
Gaetz and several other republicans have been pushing Naddler in between statements with different parliamentary inquiries and objections to delay. Gaetz was a little bit more angry with his objections and Naddler replied with something along the lines that congressmen and women will follow rules and come to order. He hasn't spoken out since.
Zelensky denied a quid pro quo because admitting to one would make him look either corrupt or weak. He's not the victim trying to clear the air, he's the co-conspirator trying to protect his image.

Castor just began. 45 minutes of wharglbargl begins.
I was literally just imagining someone dubbing over Castor and every Republicans voices with Murlock voice clips from World of Warcraft. Because that might as well be what this is. It's just nonsense.
I really wish at least one person would make the point that if he believes so strongly that this is nepotism, wrong, and needs to be prosecuted, then why are they silent about all the shit Trump's kids and family are doing? The claim that Trump cares a single whit about corruption is just so transparently bullshit.

Remember the other day when a witness dared to merely mention the name of one of Trump's children? Imagine the fallout from actual criticism!

It's actual political correctness, not the 'why can't I be racist in public' kind.

That was Barron, and while the Republican reaction was wildly overblown, the way he was mentioned by Professor Karlan was probably not terribly appropriate.
Trump's adult children are absolutely fucking fair game though.
Well, that's chilling. One of the Republican reps was a judge. Can you imagine being at the mercy of someone so incapable of discerning fact from fiction?

Not just any rep, Louie fucking Gohmert. The dumbest congressperson in Washington.

In this particular case, he's a victim being intimidated after a shakedown. He is denying a quid pro quo to try and keep Ukraine out of American politics. Zelensky wants US aid and public US support, not personal gain, at least in this instance.
I mean yeah there are other things he might have done for personal gain, but Zelensky didn't really have leverage here.
Gohmert asked Berke how much money Berke had to donate to be there.
Which.. Jesus. That is inappropriate as fuck.

Steve Castor does not have the experience to deal with questions from Berke. He's already shown that in under 5 minutes. That's why Republicans are jumping all over these questions.
OK, so I'm just catching up on what's actually happening. Castor and Goldman are witnesses today, and Castor going off about Hunter Biden was an opening statement? I am listening on CNN Radio, and I jumped in late.
I enjoy this lawyer dismantling the attacks on Jennifer Williams. Steve Castor just squirming and the repubs desperate to find a way to get in the way of the line of questioning.
They're jumping in and wasting time on nitpicky bullshit to give Castor a minute to collect himself, because Burke has crawled completely up Castor's asshole at this point.

I hope he gets himself thrown out.
Who do I see on the TV first?
That republican with the glasses whining about process.
Oh the republicans want the press conference. They just want to make it look like they're only having one because the Democrats forced them to.
EDIT: That would probably be Doug Collins, the ranking member.
Am I the only one that took Castor saying this as him calling out the Repuicans as a bunch of chickenshits?
He's the victim, not the coconspirator
Jesus this is unreal.
Edit: and now it's people said bad words about Trump! Holy SHIT. This is their big defense?!

It's trying to make the case that Trump was simply justifiably pursuing his lifelong passion of stamping out corruption in eastern Europe.

Shitshow.
The GOP is speaking all over the place. Fucking unreal. "Point of order: allow me to speak nonsense" by what, three different people?
"How much money" comment was really like, what the fuck are you talking about my guy
Which.. Jesus. That is inappropriate as fuck.

This was like 5 minutes of ranting about IMPROPER DECORUM.
Counsel is devastating our case!
EDIT: Holy fuck, they legitimately just complained about witness badgering.
The audience's groan of disbelief reaction was both amusing and welcome.

What can you even say about that? Like it's just there. That happened.
