Senate Impeachment Trial LIVE - day 8

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Democrat “questions”:

Witnesses and Documents! Witnesses and Documents! Witnesses and Documents! Witnesses and Documents! Witnesses and Documents!

[Lakeside Granny]

The dims 1st question about the Bolton book and calling Bolton, Malvany and one more as witnesses.

Of course Schitt says NO they need to be called.

No question about the Pres. motivation.

YOU NEVER PROVED THIS YOU IDIOT!!!

Forgive my screaming, please.

[Political Junkie Too]

Schiff is going to tick off a lot of Senators if he keeps using his answers to repeat his opening statement charges.

This question was about Bolton, and he's talking about Sondland?

Now we know why there are no rebuttals permitted. And why the questions had to be submitted in advance.

[McGavin999]

I think the book should be shown to the Republican Senators

[Sam Gamgee]

Why did we give then 8 hours for this nonsense?

[snippy_about_it]

Of course the dems would ask themselves questions so they could set up their talking points!

[1Old Pro]

If it’s not in evidence, how can that question be answered?

Because the Democrats posed the question to the Democrat managers, I think they call that a set up question. It just allows the Dem managers aka Schiff to pontificate.

[hsmomx3]

He is beyond obsessed. It’s beyond a mental illness in my opinion. He really irks me off.

[GRRRRR]

Wtf?

They have a video prepared?

How did Schiff know he needed a video?

[njmaugbill]

HOW In THE HELL do they have video’s available for the questions!?

[mewzilla]

Note to the Senate: You’re making the House of Lords look good.

[Political Junkie Too]

Schiff already has a video teed up of Trump's team's opening as his answer to the first question?

The Democrats have clearly scripted their Q&A. Will the Republicans do the same?

I think we're way over 5 minutes on this answer. They're using the first question to rebut the entire Trump opening?

[pnz1]

Not to mention their powerpoints and videos.

[thinden]

how bout asking “where is testimony & transcript of the House’s 18th witness?”

ICIG, atkinson who changed rules for whistleblower rules to begin with.

[mewzilla]

The questions were submitted in advance.

[centurion316]

Schiff has a presentation to assist with his answer. I’m sure that their was no collusion between and Schumer about the content of Schumer’s first question. Of course not.

[1Old Pro]

Wtf? They have a video prepared? How did Schiff know he needed a video?

It was a Dem question to the Dems, totally set-up, abusing the procedure to allow Schiff to pontificate.

[mkmensinger]

Schiff was ready with video. Obviously he knew the question ahead of time.
