UNITED STATES - OCTOBER 23: Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., left, and other members conduct a news conference in the Capitol Visitor Center outside the Laura Cooper, deputy assistant secretary of defense, deposition related to the House's impeachment inquiry on Wednesday, October 23, 2019.

So the Fiona Hill and Alexander Vindman impeachment hearing transcripts just dropped. They’re lengthy, but I immediately started skimming Hill’s testimony before intending to head out the door to run some errands.

Okay, that was fun.

And in case the print was too small for you to read, feel free to head here to see both the Fiona Hill and Vindman transcripts.

But if you simply want a summary, here it is: “You aren’t part of this committee, Mr. Gaetz. Get your broke-ass, bobblehead-looking bum out of here.”

Or words to that effect.

UPDATE: The original version of this story identified this exchange as coming from Alexander Vindman’s deposition. It was part of the Fiona Hill transcript. Thanks to gchaucer2 for setting the record straight.
