Republican threats to detail the House Judiciary Committee's first impeachment hearing never materialized

Read all impeachment coverage »plenty of hot-blooded rhetoric when each of the panel’s 41 members took their allotted five minutes to question the legal experts on hand.

“While the president can name his son Barron, he can’t make him a baron,” Karlan said before later apologizing.press release from Trump’s re-election campaign attacking Karlan for mentioning Trump’s 13-year-old son, and afrom First Lady Melania Trump that was eventually retweeted by the president himself. And when it was his turn to ask questions, Gaetz laid into her.

But lawmakers generally constrained their outrage to those five-minute blocks and politely passed the baton to their colleagues when time expired. It was a stark contrast to the panel’s halting efforts to hold hearings on special counsel Robert Mueller’s report throughout the spring and summer, which frequently devolved into ugly procedural battles or spectacles involving lawmakers bringing buckets of fried chicken to the hearing room.

This pattern, they said, emerged from his effort to undermine Mueller’s investigation, and subsequently in his effort to press the Ukrainian government to investigate his political rivals ahead of his 2020 reelection campaign.

Typo is accurate!

Only a hill outlet like Politico could view that hearing as anything other than a debacle for the D’s

One thing is 100% certain the impeachment hearings are not bipartisan.

Detail?

That was a debacle. What a joke.
