Her response to Wenthrop (I think that was him) was an absolute shut down of his disrespectful and frantic gaslighting.


Thank god Schiff allowed her to respond...wenthrop clearly did not want her to.

able to handle anything that any republican brought up. She did it in a dignified, patient manner.

There wasn't a republican capable of debating her. My impression is that Castor knows Trump committed impeachable offenses. I know that last Friday, he had finally convinced the representatives to at least pretend to be more respectful for the day's witness -- then Trump attacked her in tweets. Castor was unhappy with that.

The few republicans that voiced a quivering yelp at her were chihuahuas.

Russia is very good at what they do, and the GOP has adopted their techniques wholesale.

I found her answers to the Republicans questioning her to be depressing, actually, because she kept praising those monsters. They need to hear that they are wrong and fighting with such abandon against the Democrats is really civil war.

I was left utterly demoralized by her praise of them. Maybe it is some clever tactic. But I guess I am too simple to understand it.

I know that everyone is referring to her opening statement, but the answers that she gave that praised these guys? What about those?
