Public testimony roiled the political world but are Trump and his presidency in any more trouble than a week ago? Seven POLITICO reporters break down what happened during this week’s impeachment hearings and discuss what will happen next

History was made this week as public hearings began in the Democrats’ impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.

What happened this week that moved the dial and will be remembered when the history books get written on this?The first public impeachment hearings in 21 years! That was enough to move the dial, no matter what happened. Now, whether that was enough to move public opinion remains to be seen … but there were definitely some standout moments.

Well, he’s not in any less trouble. I was especially struck by U.S. diplomat Marie Yovanovitch’s testimony. She came across as a sympathetic figure given Trump’s decision to yank her out of Ukraine as his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, was smearing her. Even Republicans treated her with caution and praised her service. But memories are short, and in a couple of weeks, the mood could be entirely different.Maybe.

Here’s where I can actually offer up something substantive, as these last two weeks have been a crash-course rerun on all things WikiLeaks, Julian Assange and Robert Mueller’s attempts to learn what had happened in 2016.

What a circus and waste of time

Well, one House member reportedly said he’d heard from a staffer who had overheard a maintenance worker telling his wife on the phone that an office worker had heard from her cousin’s hair stylist that the President is toast, but I have no firsthand knowledge of this,

It animated and personalized the accusations by putting a face on the facts and making it available to more Americans.

I havent seen anything worth impeaching for. I wld like them to work on health care premiums, drug cost, border etc. This is getting old really quick

We all know there’s irrefutable evidence that Trump is a self-serving traitor, totally unfit to be POTUS. But the Republican controlled Senate will not impeach him under any scenario. Why? Because most of them are also corrupt AF & know Trump will out them if they do. FuckTheGOP

Another day in the corrupt Democrat party and their media🤣😂 I would advice sane liberals to create a third party and run from the pollution.

trump is digging his hole deeper and the 3 stooges are helping him! look at trumps defense team! BAHAHAHA sitting in 1 of the Highest courts in the nations this is what they think of our country and the constitution! And look at trumps personal lawyers! Wheres Jordens Jacket?

Just a bunch of bull & these journalists will all have so much egg on their liberal, socialist faces. Just like 2016. We are tired of the bs from media, Obama, Schiff and Little nervous Nancy! You are not making friends with Trump supporters, just making us more determined!

Suffice to say anything Schiff says is totally suspect

You know who didn’t cry during testimony, even when learning Trump defamed her in real time? You know who did cry? Kavanaugh

No he's not in trouble. And it's because we have one normal political party and one nazi party

I am not so sure Sondland will appear?

So far nothing but BS.

Basically all the star witnesses for the Democrats have said, no I don't know Trump no I never met Trump no I didn't listen to the phone call no I don't know of any criminal doing! Are you saying Ukrainian president is lying about phone call No Pile of shit inquiry MAGA

I heard a lot of hurt feelings, second and third hand hearsay, and policy disagreements, but nothing calling for impeachment. He is actually doing what he was elected to do. Drain the swamp.

So far we have learned Trump is a scumbag. So yeah nothing really new.

It is foundation. Brick by brick. It is not explosive, 'found the tape' kind of stuff. It is reality!!!! Trump has been working 2 different lines to Ukraine- 1 the normal, the other crooked self-serving. It's still going to yield a lot more pieces to the puzzle, for a whole pic!

Just to give you an idea of how things have gone for Democrats so far, the highlight is a mean tweet by Donald Trump. When you fill a government with activist wine aunts and soy people, you get an unserious, deranged country.

Great picture!

No bi-partisan support for impeachment. Thats all you need to know.

The public hearings made a far better case for investigating Biden than anything else.

exact opposite. realDonaldTrump is stronger than ever. He will win in a landslide a year from now.
