Clip of Jim Jordan

Jordan, showing that he’s never been a prosecutor: "So what I’m asking is - where did you get this “clear understanding?”
Thinks he’s just caught Taylor in a sticky web, but really he’s just given Taylor a chance to walk through all the reasons why he did, in fact, have a clear understanding that Trump expected certain things from Zelensky in exchange for the things that Ukraine wanted/needed.

3350

Wait, we have the power to impeach the President of Ukraine?

3351

To be fair, I think Jordan just licked his ear and Nunes is patting his ass because he’s a good boy.

3352


3353

Just an aside: they don’t make 'em like Glynis Johns anymore.

Or Danny Kaye or Mildred Natwick, for that matter.

3354

When Jordan and Nunes are your standard bearers, your party needs to be disbanded and made illegal.

3355

Hey now, we live in a representative democracy. Trust me, they’re very representative of a subset of our population.

3356

The GOP is tripling down on 2nd hand evidence not being admissible in court.

But it is.
So… yeah.

3357

The entire assclown GOP needs to be punished for shirking their duties.

Republican Ratcliffe spent almost his entire time grandstanding with some long winded complaint about how the Ukrainian president denied quid pro quo. Then he asks Taylor for a response and gets upset when he tried to answer in more than a word. Because “my time is short”. Maybe you should have spent less time on your question.

3360

Democrats are impressively synced up on questioning, and have very little grandstanding. They appear to have coordinated themselves way better than Republicans have.

3361

Taylor is the perfect witness for this. Bemused, above it all, calm, well spoken. Makes the GOP attack dogs look like little kids arguing with their parents.

3362

I see we’re at the “blame Obama” part of the proceedings.

3363

Ha ha yup

3364

I feel like he’s trying to extort Taylor.

“We helped you and Obama didn’t, right?”
“Uh, sure?”
wink wink

3365

And now we’re back to “Since we got caught and it got stopped, it doesn’t count.”

This is the transcript… that isn’t a transcript.
