Will they stick with Jordan as pitbull? What accusations will they go back to after the staffers give them more notes? Will anybody on the GOP side actually ask a question about 45?

They didn't start until 10 am ET, had a brief break around 12:15 pm ET, then came back, then went out about 2:30 pmish ET for about 2 hours for votes, so a little over 4 hours so far (which was how long the whole thing was supposed to be but they will obviously run longer).

Although she has no connection whatsoever to the committee, according to that article she was invited by Meadows to sit behind him with the Congressional aides, and then was told to sit down again because the cameras are aimed at sitting people's faces. She may not think she was being used but I don't know what else to call it.

In case you missed it: @AOC used her time to:

1. Lay out a massive tax fraud scheme taking place in her district.
2. Lay out the case for subpoenaing Trump's state tax returns.
3. Lay out the case to subpoena Allen Weisselberg.

She had five minutes just like everybody else.

Rashida Tlaib just called the physical parading of Lynn Patton "racist in itself." Republicans trying to object but she's still finishing her point. #CohenHearing

And the GOP's continual use of black "props" to distract from their abject racism.

Cohen closing:

"My loyalty to Mr. Trump has cost me everything."

"I will not let him do the same to the country."

If Trump doesn't win in 2020: "I fear that there will never be a peaceful transition of power."

Jordan left a really foul taste in my mouth. He just wants to smear the Democrats.
