Impeachment investigation is still continuing.

Lewandowski and the rest of the clown Republican house congresscritters looked like fools.

3. Only way I can see to stop this media mess is to not watch.

Especially cable opinion disguised as news.

6. Yes, we have several posts about the 5 minute rule

We DUers don't like it either. That method has no continuity, focus, plan, or method.

I think we all liked when Mr. Berke was doing the questioning, not when we had to keep switching back and forth between our side asking this question & that and rethug grandstanding.

12. Here's how to deal with the 5 min rule (but nobody will like it.....)

There are 41 members of the Judiciary Committee. If you give each of them 10 minutes, that means an 8 hour hearing. The way to deal with the situation is to stop allowing each Member to question the witness (or alternatively to pontificate on their own) and give each side an equal number of minutes for questions, to be allocated as the Committee Chair and Ranking member see as appropriate. I doubt most Committee members want to give their time on stage (even the Democrats).

Then I'm happy to put up with it. But I would have liked to see that jerk charged with contempt of Congress.

9. They have been doing their part nightly.

Cooper, Cuomo and Lemon have been putting it out there every night. You must understand that a lot of people are not as dialed in to this as people here are. They've been doing their best to spoon feed it to people a few minutes at a time every night. I don't know how they keep going every night without being completely frustrated and wanting to give up. Every one of them have been incredulous with this administration at one point or another. Remember what they did to Jim Sciutto?
