TRAVIS GETTYS 27 FEB 2019 AT 07:47 ET
The reporter told MSNBCs Morning Joe that Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), the committees ranking member, and other GOP lawmakers will repeatedly attempt procedural motions to interrupt, halt and stall Cohens testimony.
That is 100 percent expected, Przybyla said. I talked to a number of Democratic aides yesterday who said you may want to bring a good book because there will be so many attempts if you look at some of the members on this committee, like Jim Jordan, who are stalwart protectors of this president they will attempt whenever it is in their estimation that the testimony or questioning is veering from this narrow set of topics the chairman had released, that theyre going to try and shut it down. This could, therefore, lead to a very long hearing.

There are going to be a lot of procedural votes taken I'm afraid.
Those Repug idiots picked a good name for their caucus, the Freedumb caucus.
