Trump says he's not watching impeachment hearing -- then critiques it

President Donald Trump on Wednesday dismissed the House’s impeachment proceedings as a “hoax” and said he was “too busy to watch” — and then blasted Democrats’ choice of questioners at a hearing he said he hadn’t been briefed on.

“I’m sure I’ll get a report,” Trump told reporters at a short Oval Office pool spray with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. “I have not been briefed, no. There’s nothing there. I see they’re using lawyers that are television lawyers. They took some guys off television. I’m not surprised to see it because Schiff can’t do his own questions.”

Trump appeared to be citing Democrats’ decision to have Daniel Goldman, senior adviser and counsel to House Intelligence Democrats, take an early lead in questioning witnesses Bill Taylor and George Kent alongside Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.).

But the GOP is deploying the same strategy: Longtime GOP counsel and staffer Steve Castor has a starring role during Republicans’ questioning of the witnesses, along with Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.).

If Adam Schiff says there is direct evidence of Trump/Russia collusion, you can take that to the bank. Rep. Schiff NEVER overstates. He is the epitome of caution and precision. - Laurence Tribe
