Rep. Mike Quigley (D-IL) defended Deputy Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs George Kent and Ambassador William Taylor for not having firsthand accounts on President Trump's phone call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky.
"I guess to close, primer on hearsay, I think the American public needs to be reminded that countless people have been convicted on hearsay because the courts have routinely allowed and created, needed exceptions to hearsay," Quigley said on Wednesday.
"Hearsay can be much better evidence than direct, as we have learned in painful instances and it's certainly valid in this instance," he added.

Evidence? We don't need some stinking evidence.

Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and Castro thought so.

Hearsay Can Be Much Better Evidence Than Direct' Evidence OK, I hear Obama was born in Kenya therefore all of his executive orders as President are null and void. No need for any direct evidence. :)

Well I heared a waiter say that he over hear a table in his fancy DC restaurant last night talking about how Mike Quigley is a serial child rapist with really disgusting child porn on his computer.
So OBVIOUSLY we need to prosecute this scum immediately since hear say is so much stronger then direct evidence.

IOW: The seriousness of the charge is more important than the evidence against it.

Also I SINCERELY hope Rep. Mike Quigley personally experience the hearsay trials. Multiple hearsay trials against him.

I have read that the Nazi-era Gestapo never counted on hearsay evidence for actually arresting anyone.
