This would be brutal.
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 Lady is an absolutely star today…A very bright 1 indeed.
This was exactly what the Dems were trying to get out of the Muller hearing: a serious person to give them permission to impeach.
Goddamn. All of you who thought this was a mistake are taking a big L here. This is amazing.
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”

“If this is not impeachable then nothing is impeachable” Prof. Gerhardt with a strong quote.
Sweet Jesus. These people are super super clear. There’s nothing hard to understand here. At all.
“Everyone who has been impeached has failed to get what they wanted.” Gerhardt with another strong quote.
The 2 young guys behind Prof Gerhardt nodding away with him at Karlan is the best at Hypothetical Take that Unstuckers…
AV person is on point today. That shit’s not easy to coordinate in a live hearing.

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.
