They are running the clock out.

I find the Dems counsel questioning kind of boring. They should make this hearing debate style: pose a question, give them a minute to answer and another for rebuttal, and let Karlan et al demolish Turley.

Or this.

This was exactly what the Dems were trying to get out of the Muller hearing: a serious person to give them permission to impeach.

While I agree, my biggest concern remains that many, many normal people (political fishes) are simply tuned out. Then again, I think there have been some good clips, especially from Karlan, that may break through.

(Karlan correctly using “indifferent” multiple times to educate the American people on proper usage.)

I like the girl smiling behind Prof Pamela S Karlan, just smiling away as she dunks again and again… “Can I read Sondland’s testimony” “yes, please” :joy:

I ship $2,000 at 14:1 if Trump’s not in office come Jan 1, 2020. I don’t think I’ll win the bet, but it’s looking better.
