Eric Garland's "transcript" of this morning's Intelligence hearing. I'm in tears!
Link to tweet
... SCHIFF: Do you agree this complaint involves REALLY BAD STUFF FROM TRUMP?
MAGUIRE: I'm not here to judge!
SCHIFF: Stop bullshitting. Is this bad or not?
MAGUIRE: Yes, that's the question!
SCHIFF: Was it credible?
MAGUIRE: Yes, but was it urgent? That was the question.
SCHIFF: Stop bullshitting. You didn't give the goddamned complaint like you're supposed to by law.
MAGUIRE: sure. yes?
SCHIFF: Can we agree that screwing Ukraine's national security for Trump's Mobster shakedown was urgent?
MAGUIRE: Yes, but urgent is word, and we needed definitions.
SCHIFF: Yes, but so is SHALL, and you went to the White House instead.
MAGUIRE: Executive Privilege!
SCHIFF: Did they assert executive privilege.
MAGUIRE: They were thinking about it.
SCHIFF: So they didn't?
MAGUIRE: Well if they did, we'd have a problem that we'd have a privilege urgent thing. ....
Yes, I know we're in deadly serious times here, but I needed a little comic relief after two incredibly intense news days. Hope no one is offended.
