(130,098 posts)They didn't start until 10 am ET, had a brief break around 12:15 pm ET, then came back, then went out about 2:30 pmish ET for about 2 hours for votes, so a little over 4 hours so far (which was how long the whole thing was supposed to be but they will obviously run longer).

(116,013 posts)Although she has no connection whatsoever to the committee, according to that article she was invited by Meadows to sit behind him with the Congressional aides, and then was told to sit down again because the cameras are aimed at sitting people's faces. She may not think she was being used but I don't know what else to call it.

2. Lay out the case for subpoenaing Trump's state tax returns.
3. Lay out the case to subpoena Allen Weisselberg.
She had five minutes just like everybody else.

Rashida Tlaib just called the physical parading of Lynn Patton "racist in itself." Republicans trying to object but she's still finishing her point. #CohenHearing

And the GOP's continual use of black "props" to distract from their abject racism.

"I will not let him do the same to the country."
If Trump doesn't win in 2020: "I fear that there will never be a peaceful transition of power."
