This is not a hearing. This is a committee meeting which allows them to put a motion on the floor and vote.
It feels like they are going point by point for an "indictment" of Trump, which of course they don't do but it looks like a preamble to a vote for a criminal referral to DOJ.
This committee has been absolutely leak free. With the additional information from SS now in hand they have all they need for a vote.
We may be about to witness one of the most historic committee votes in the nation's history.

That would be a boss move by the Committee and a perfect cap.
They certainly have their ducks in a row.

to me, at the moment, but I'm not a specialist in such matters.

Contempt of Congress. The question then, would be enforcement.
House of Roberts
(6,521 posts)7. Since there have been no more witnesses,
it appears like a closing argument for the prosecution.
We're getting Secret Service texts in Schiff's statement.

That should be a fun court fight. Wonder if they can get him under oath before the next Congress is sworn in.

it will be the Trump Grift Extravaganza. They should do it, don't get me wrong but it will be a shitshow once accomplished.
