Jim Jordan: "Democrats stick to the playbook."

[Miles Archer]

He yielded, then tried to put forth a motion, and Cummings shut him down.

Said that the testimony was hand-picked to only discuss items that would lead to Trump's impeachment.

Cummings is doing a Pelosi, he's taking no crap whatsoever.

[aquamarina]

1. Damn it is satisfying

to see that clown muzzled. Meadows as well. Can't wait to see what Gaetz has to say, if anything.

[lamp_shade]

2. Gaetz isn't on the committee

[aquamarina]

3. Oops, I thought I heard one of the talking

heads say he was in the room, my bad.

[berksdem]

10. nope.... you heard right...

before Cohen entered the room he was in the courtroom. Although, he is not on the committee.

[aquamarina]

13. Thanks for the clarification

I guess he wants to see the hearing as well.

[True Blue American]

20. Yes, I watched Gaetz come in.

Meadows was saying they did not get the info until 10 minutes before. Cummings told him they received the infor the same time ther did. Thus the vote on postponement that failed.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

29. They are in a courtroom? I thought it was a House Hearing room. . . . nt

[olegramps]

22. The Republicans are not doing themselves and favor. Like parots their only refrain is liar, liar.

They have failed to challenge any of the information that Cohen has provided. It is a simple fact that they are part of a criminal organization with no intention of even pretending to be interested in getting the truth. The Republicans are disgusting at best. Jordan is a crude being of no consequence and is representative to the depths to which the party has sunk into the sewer. He tries to come off as a macho man. I can only hope to some day someone wipes up the fool with the scum bag.

[vlyons]

27. There is no honor among thieves

[olegramps]

31. Their attempt to discredit Cohen is pathetic. The Republicans are beyond redemption.

[barbtries]

4. he doesn't have to.

the map has changed. republicans eat shit.

[Pacifist Patriot]

5. He's perfected the art of ignoring the troll.

[BumRushDaShow]

6. Well in his rush to conclude his his bullshit statement that was full nonsensical pomp and puffery

Jordan yielded back his time with a satisfying harumph... But then suddenly started whining about wanting some time back to make a silly motion, but it was too late!

[NewJeffCT]

7. Is this the full Oversight Committee?

meaning, will AOC get to ask questions?

[watoos]

17. Have you also been disappointed,

like me, in the questions that the Democrats are asking?

[NewJeffCT]

18. I'm at work in the office

I can't watch anything live.

I know they're not supposed to ask about Russia and collusion

[rurallib]

19. A bit, but Cohen's opening statement covered most of the important points

[ScratchCat]

8. Its kind of funny

that the GOP can't help themselves but make comments that confirm that Trump has committed acts that any other President would have already been impeached for. If Trump has done nothing wrong, then this would all blow up in their faces... like Bengazi. But, they know he has committed crimes to get in office and while he has been in office. After today, they have to defend not impeaching a President who has committed felonies while in office.

[FarPoint]

9. He really lacks coping skills!

He's loosing his shut... hahaha

[gratuitous]

12. You call it a playbook, Gym

Democrats call it the Constitution.

[yaesu]

14. Cummings is just giving the thugs the same treatment they gave the Dems for years

and I hope they continue giving the fascist party a hard time at every turn.

[Hamlette]

15. he would know, his party wrote it

[ancianita]

16. Minority members' playbook: to impugn, politicize the committee's constitutional right of oversight.

From Chair Cummings to witness Cohen to the entire process!

The PLAYbook is solely that of GOP minority members to discredit this event as "fake."

Enough of the public can see through their theater to obstruct impeachment, as evidenced by their making MSNBC's reporting #1 in their viewing. Based on their belief of MSNBC hosts' analyses, they will side with Democrats' process integrity.

[Honeycombe8]

21. I like Cummings' leadership style.

Sharp as a tack, pointed comments, no one's fool, no getting too upset.

[Lonestarblue]

23. It boggles the brain that most of these Republicans ever got elected.

They’re being idiots. Evidently their supporters like people who lie and use histrionics to try to distract anyone from questioning their own veracity.

[Pepsidog]

30. Most people do not understand how ignorant many members of Congress really are. They are stuck in

Fox World along with the base. It’s truwly stunning.

[Maraya1969]

32. Like asking MC why he hadn't turned over boxes of documents

Right after MC said, "They were returned to me"

[LakeArenal]

24. I believe Cummings has been around longer than Pelosi.

So, “doing a Pelosi” would not be accurate.

More, Pelosi has learned from a master.

[Miles Archer]

26. I wasn't suggesting that he wasn't

In the current chronology, his demeanor today closely matches the way Pelosi has been handling Trump and Republicans in general.

Not suggesting that he learned anything from her or that he followed in her footsteps.

In the time since the midterms, he is in alignment with the way that she has been conducting herself. Not making a value judgement, a "who is better, who came first" analysis.

He's handling things the way Pelosi handles things.

Pelosi handles things the way he handles things.

They are on the same page.

Anything else inferred did not come from me.

[LakeArenal]

28. It wasn't meant as a criticism.

Just a passing thought on Cummings.

[TrogL]

25. I missed the beginning except for the shouting

What was the motion and why was it being made?
