Wow. These are Rudy Giuliani’s phone calls the day Marie Yovanovitch was removed from her post. That the Intel Committee got access to phone logs of the president’s personal defense attorney is just stunning. #housereport pic.twitter.com/lWF9nEb7OX— Christina Wilkie (@christinawilkie) December 3, 2019

House Judiciary Committee Democrats met behind closed doors for six hours on Tuesday for a private preparation session ahead of the panel’s official overtaking of the impeachment inquiry Wednesday. And the committee’s chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) used the prep time to offer some candid reassurance to his caucus.“I’m not going to take any shit,” he said, according to Politico. The remark made some lawmakers in the room straighten up in their seats, people in the room told Politico.Politico described the meeting as a “dress rehearsal” for the upcoming hearing in the House Ways and Means Committee room, where the Intelligence Committee held all of its hearings in that space. The committee held a mock hearing and ex-staffers were brought in to play the role of Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Doug Collins (R-GA) and other aggressive minority members of the committee.Committee members reportedly feel confident in their approach and Nadler’s leadership, heading into their first big hearing on Wednesday, but some lawmakers privately told Politico there is some concern in the caucus about Nadler’s approach and demeanor, a fear that Republicans plan to seize on Wednesday. As Playbook reported Tuesday, Judiciary Committee Republicans feel that Nadler will be easier to rattle than House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff (D-CA) because he often relies on notes for much of his statements and questioning.

in the weeks/months between the mueller report and the impeachment hearings, schiff was much, much more impressive than nadler, anywhere i heard or saw them. don't fuck this up, tough guy nadler
― Peaceful Warrior I Poser (Karl Malone), Wednesday, 4 December 2019 15:08 (four years ago) link
I figure Nadler's doing his impression of Chevy Chase's impression of De Niro in Taxi Driver because he knows he fucked up. Schiff impressed the hell out of me; I thought he'd be the wuss.

the weird thing about nadler is that he seems like he's directly out of the watergate hearings. i don't get that same feeling from other people of his age.

i know it's to be expected, but there's some really demoralizing about listening to an expert on constitutional law calmly and thoroughly explain why the president must be impeached for about 5 minutes, followed immediately by a parliamentary bullshit stalling question leading to some vote on tabling some motion leading to a request for a roll call leading to a 21-17 vote to confirm that the motion will be tabled

All particulars about the Choad-in-Chief aside, entreaties to show respect for someone who's done precisely nothing to earn anyone's respect is one of the most efficient means of eliciting a 'STFFU,YFF' from yers truly.

I suppose if there is a lesson to be learned by the current scofflaw in chief, and future scofflaws, it's that ignoring subpoenas is not only OK but encouraged. If you're never called to testify under oath, you can never be caught lying under oath. Better to gamble on obstruction than get busted for perjury.

Why are the Dems not emphasizing, publicly and often, that much of this mess stems from President Asshole repeatedly targeting private US citizens? If he can target them with impunity, and career officials, and military officers, etc., demean them, and destroy them, over and over again, he can do it to anyone.
