I have only been watching the hearings since about 5pm. I think the

Democrats are making a mistake questioning the 3 witnesses that agree on the impeachment. I
think they should ask Turley the questions. Make him sit there and say that obstruction of justice is OK and witness
intimidation is OK to show what a Republican hack he is. Maybe they did earlier and I missed it.

If they took time to attack turley directly, and allow him to respond, it would play into the gop's hands. It would suck the oxygen out from what they are trying to get across.

It's the same reason 90% of the republican questions only went to turley, even going so far as to have him answer for what people right next to him think.

But his positions were attacked, through questions to the other 3 witnesses.

It's the better tactic.

there was any proof of the Ukraine extortion. Did they ask him about the obstruction of justice and witness intimidation he did in plain sight?

Wish they would hot seat a yes/no question to Turley then ask the 3 for rebuttals to Turley’s word salad defense of the Divider-in-Chief. 🤷🏻?♀️
