(129,015 posts)with fakes claiming to be "Democrats" who end up spouting RW talking points. My mother (a CSPAN junkie) used to yell at the TV (notably at Brian Lamb when he was hosting call-ins) about having "his foot on the call-cutoff button" (under the table) to cut off Democrats if they got through.

(129,015 posts)The issue is having the President cherry-pick certain documents to be submitted to the Senate and bypassing the House subpoenas for ALL the documents that have been requested.
Called "Rule of Completeness" to not mislead.

(33,346 posts)He failed to understand the House has the sole power of impeachment and it sets its own rules.
Mersky
(4,981 posts)I was completely irritated with him using the defect phrasing to make him sound lawyerly. That republicans havent been able to recognize the legitimacy of their opponents in the House has been a constant annoyance.
Hell slap unconstitutional on anything that suits the moment.

(1,124 posts)these threads. So very helpful for those of us sitting at work without access to a TV. Helped me stay caught up on what was happening. Thank You!
BumRushDaShow
(129,015 posts)This is historic and I know back during the Clinton impeachment, I was at work too and had to try to catch what I could from the radio during the day or a little portable tv that a couple of us eventually bought (and then reruns at night - and Comcast was fooling around with the timing of switching on the CSPAN2 feed because at the time, they were splitting the CSPAN2 Senate broadcasts with the "PCN" channel that showed PA state programming during the day). I was in junior high during the Nixon Watergate hearings and would listen on our local NPR radio station here in Philly (WHYY) when commuting home from school on the train (and my parents were watching on TV).
So now I can watch it "gavel to gavel" as a retiree!

(3,363 posts)except hearing Republicans voted against all documents and witnesses.
Sounds like Trump really is going to get away with everything, and Republicans are giving him the green light to commit any crimes he wants for at least the next year.
The unfairness and corruption of all of this makes me want to throw up. It's really affecting my health.

(129,015 posts)and Nadler has deferred to Schiff to handle the time allocations and manage their team. So I was wondering which Amendment Nadler would be focusing on and he targeted Bolton.
ancianita
(36,057 posts)Jerry for Bolton is the best end to this amazing day.
Mersky
(4,981 posts)When asked if she went to legal counsel regarding this, she responded, I certainly did.
And another Hill clip in response to Boltons take on giuliani as being a hand grenade that will blow everybody up. She explained how she thought he meant that their plot would backfire.
___
Dont think Ill ever tire of Dr. Hills manner of speaking. She is shockingly smart.
Mersky
(4,981 posts)Its excellent:
1. pResidents national security aide and now willing to testify.
2. Direct knowledge of pResidents scheme: akin to the drug deal
3. Expressed concerns giuliani would blow everybody up.
4. Predicted the July 25th call would be a disaster and urged that officials report concerns.
5. Actively involved in addressing the pResidents freeze on Ukraine military aid

And complicit in the president's coverup. (Damn!)
I see a number of Senators willing to vote against a fair trial, against the United States!
Either you want the truth and permit witnesses, or you want a coverup. History will judge and so will the electorate"!!
