Why are they still calling witnesses tertiary to the phone call?

The transcript was released weeks ago.

This is what makes it all a complete joke.

They have to keep it going. They don't have anything else.

If they can call in a few dozen people and ask all of them if they have any dirt on Trump that they'd like to spill, the chances of uncovering a new "scandal" go up.

It's like the dems ran their NPC code and they are unable to stop the program

I heard it from a friend who, heard it from a friend who, heard it from another Trumps offering a quid pro quo.

Because it is possible the call memo (its not a transcript, it says it right in the document, on the very first page), is not accurate. Because they are digging for information that would suggest an ulterior motive. Because they are trying to drag it out hoping someone will say something stupid publicly (looking at you Mulvaney). Because they want to get as much political juice as they can out of it.

There are a whole host of reasons, all of which have been beat to death.

I will say though, the accuracy of the memo should be put to rest today after Vindman's testimony becomes public (leaks.)

Because they can build a narrative that "all these people were concerned. ALL of them. They wouldn't ALL be concerned had Trump not had ill intent."

This political juice is not doing their members any favors.

Agreed, didn't say it was a good reason.

If they ask enough people the same question, eventually they will get the answer they are looking for.

The problem is, they're going to get so far down the line they may as well just ask Adam Schiff what he thinks, take his word, and vote on impeachment.

Maybe then Congress can get back to legislating.

I heard a doping scandal is about to break in women's curling, so they will have to handle that first.

The more testimony they feel they can fabricate, the more they can try and discredit the telephone transcript. If enough people tell the same lie, that lie will eventually become the truth. That is the Dims way of thinking.

He said in his opening statement that the call was not a matter of national security yet the dems have been saying since day one that it is. That says a lot about Schiff's part in all this. The cocksucker lies and here's the proof.

This is like the last episode of Seinfeld, but the character witnesses are just the friends of the friends/aquantences.

Didin't get a chance to read the statement, reading now.

ETA: Sooo, yeah, he confirmed the accuracy of the call memo. That shoots down one of my possible reasons.

He also just said what everyone else has already said, that Sondland and Co. made comments and overtures that he felt were inappropriate, and he did what he felt was his duty and reported his concerns to the appropriate person in his chain of command. Certainly nothing new, and doesn't move the needle.

(I'm not saying this because I think you guys need/want my opinion on his statement, just that I wanted to put out there that I'm not blind to evidence that doesn't support the narrative I lean towards.)
