Trump impeachment inquiry day one highlights

Donald Trump cared more about investigating his political rival Joe Biden than the fate of Ukraine, according to dramatic testimony from a key witness in the first impeachment inquiry hearing before the American public. As Adam Schiff, the Democratic chair, gaveled the House intelligence committee into session, cameras from every major network carried the proceedings to millions of Americans, some of whom were encountering the allegations against Trump for the first time

What on earth is there an annoying drum track doing in the background of this clip?! What's its purpose? It's just bloody irritating! Get rid of it.

[betsyrocks]

Nice burn from Peter Welch at the end there.

2:58 why do they want to oust the whistleblower so bad, he needs to remain anonymous until they decide whether trump should be impeached, after everything is done, until then he could be in danger

[whitehart]

Oh my this is such bs it's unreal. What a surprise the guardian are on it.

[bradleyosornio]

These republicans remind me of detectives that pressure you into saying that they want to hear 2:37

[ghasemahmadi]

What you heard did not happen. It didn't happen.
---> No sir. What did you just say?

[anonymousincognitoo]

If Trump gets removed from the office than pence will be made the POTUS, and if pence is removed from the office than Nancy Pelosi becomes president who may make Hillary Clinton POTUS. What would happen if above happens?

[Fishingforpredators]

Those anybody know who it is or might be?

[ROYSIX]

Will president Trump really be impeached ?

[JP-smcs]

So in other words for trump to avoid being impeached they just have to keep scaring the whistleblowers from showing up.

[ghasemahmadi]

What is the plural of NUN without any underwearZ?
NUNEz or NUNEs ?

[blueyes]

A fact that the term “never trumper “ is being used in government hearings is sad, trump and his followers have spent more time coming up with derogatory terms for people who don’t support him than anything else is pathetic

[bencollins]

Just wondering what is the actual situation with the son earning a million bucks for sweet FA. Also if you're reading Hunter, and have some employment tips for me, I'm all ears.

[Cat-Natural-Law]

Pick and shovel leadership is what's needed...ooops! let's impeach him not sophisticated enough for the camp followers?

[edfagan]

Do Brits need subtitles to understand what's being said? Don't mind it--just wondering.

[leemack]

This goes through the USA will be going right down the tubes guaranteed.

[richardmagee]

" I have to admit to a pleasant surprise in the edit"

[carlpeterson]

I agree with Schiff that the whistleblower should tesitfy! He said many, many times that the WB would. Oh wait he lied? not Schiff.

[leonsam]

I hope our tax dollars are not paying for this foolishness
