I also love how he called for a bathroom break after Sondland's opening statement and Dem questioning but before Republicans could question further to reveal that his testimony was really his opinion based on "a guess".
Instead of going to the bathroom, Schiff went straight to a podium with reporters somehow already in place so that he could declare "new bombshell evidence" against Trump. The MSM immediately ran with the story before the other shoe that Schiff knew would be coming could drop. Then ill informed liberals got there preconceived notions falsely affirmed, and the rest of the country got Fake News (only the first half of the testimony).
Slimy. Unethical. Typical.
It is this type of behavior that reminds all of us who voted for Trump why we did so. It merely stokes the flame to white hot levels to get out and vote for Trump again to ram it up the Swamp's ass again.

These hearings should be done privately.

There are lots of secret testimonies - the transcripts have not been released. Schiff decides what to leak, and he decides who gets to appear at the public hearings.
Glad to teach you.
space, I trust Zelensky, but I don't. This guy has Swamp tattoed on his bald head. He has zero credibility

We've seen the best Schiff has now, and not a drop of credible evidence. just hearsay, "feelings", and guesses. We also have the people there first hand deny it including the president and staff of a foreign country. We also have transcripts that deny this.
Finally, we have the Dems biggest witness today tell us what Trump actually said to him, and it is exculpatory: "I don't want any quid pro quo".
And of course, the aid was delivered to the Ukraine (before any complaint was filed in case you want to say it was a response to the threat of exposure), and the Ukrainians never even did an investigation. There isn't actually even an event that happened.
You are not capable of a rational evaluation due to your hatred for Trump.

The Senate will use the FRE and the Chief Justice will rule on admissibility. Almost nothing we've heard so far under Schiff's rules will get past the gatekeeper.

that he didn't want any quid pro quo.
You can't win this. You're dead wrong. Thus you hide in the weeds of definitons because you have nothing concrete. The American people say this today. they will see more when Schiff no longer gets to sculpt the hearings.
Sondland also said today that his impression of quid pro quo came from a Politico article. Since you read that article too, then you could get a call from Schiff, and your guess that Trump is guilty could be entered in as "evidence" in this distorted process. But the evidence that the public expects is much different, and it follows the ideas that they have from a real court proceeding.
Those who talked directly to the president about it have ignored the House's subpoenas. Which, to me, is impeachable in itself.
But those executing our policy toward Ukraine have been consistent and unequivocal about what that policy was. So either (1) they are all lying, (2) they were operating under a misperception of what Trump wanted, or (3) that is really what the policy was.
There are no other options.

And because it can be so unreliable, we usually don't even allow hearsay or opinions by lay witnesses.

What are you a conspiracy theorist?
You think Schiff and the Dems and the MSM may have an agenda? Their motives are pure as the driven snow!
on his way to the bathroom.
