Fiona Hill has now been testifying for over 11 hours....



...damn.


And Gaetz tried to crash so he could be Trump's "eyes and ears" and report back what she was saying.


And he's throwing a fit now that he couldn't get in.


This testimony must be EXTREMELY damaging. And detailed, to last this long.

He doesn't sit on that committee, so what is he bitching about ?

Look Baby Gaetz - SOME of us out here, know the RULES. You didn't belong in there.

but any time a rethug is asked to testify they treat it like a horrible injustice and won't even show up.

They had a split screen on Chris Hayes's show with her walking out to a waiting car. That's one strong woman!

10. What's the Point of Doing 11 Hour Depositions in One Sitting?

I think doing these marathon sessions are a poor strategy and must be terribly stressful and tiring for the witnesses.

Maybe on the doorframe?
He's a repug, after all... and they ALWAYS cheat.

you have made the United States the laughing stock of the world. The perception of America’s military dominance and stature is going to take a severe blow as our troops have to flee the invading Turkish and Russian military with their tails between their legs. Hi better pray none are harmed.
