Schiff seems to think Mr Volker's testimony wasn't entirely fulsome and he is unamused. He is a smart man

LOL Schiff. Mr, Morrison: Mr Volker thinks it's inappropriate to ask a foreign head of state to investigate a political rival. You testified that you had no concerns. Do you see nothing wrong with that?
Morrison: Uhhhhhhhh that's not what I understood the president to be doing at the time
Schiff: Read the transcript

Schiff: You had no concerns over the call and, yet, this is the only time you ever went to the lawyers about a call

I missed most of Turner The biggest part of his was that Volker is the only one who has talked to both 45 and Zelensky and therefore we have to take Volker's opinion on 45's motivations as fact.

Himes: If everyone was so concerned about what Sondland was running around doing, why the fuck didn't anyone reign him in? I mean, Bolton called it a "drug deal."
Morrison: I got nothin!

real Freudian slip there from Conaway. He claims Schiff is citing "absolute immunity" for the WB. Someone corrects him mid-rant that it's "absolute anonymity." The only one claiming absolute immunity is Trump.

Is Conaway trying to make this a couples counseling session with Schiff? WTF? Try using "I" statements, Congressman.

This is dumb. The whistleblower already said he or she would provide written testimony to all questions from the majority and the minority. And also there is a literal federal statute that Schiff cites when he says the WB enjoys anonymity. So yeah, you bet your Toodles ass he will enter that into the record.

So Volker knew that Rudy was insisting upon specific statements about Biden and 2016 but then claims it never occurred to him that Trump would be pushing the same thing? I mean, what?

side note: This is actually smart stage management from House Democrats. Tonight's evening news is on now and is covering what happened this morning, and not what is happening now (even though what's happening now is far from exculpatory for the president). By tomorrow morning, the morning news will be more focused on previewing Sondland testimony than covering what Volker and Morrison said tonight.
