Members of congress and he was calm, measured and got the point out, substantively and rhetorically at one point. he said i want to spend time reading the transcript as weve been encouraged to do which is clearly a message to everyone, read the transcript and when he got the witnesses to repeat what was in the readout of the call between president trump and president zelensky that was powerful and 45 minutes seems like a long time in a congressional hearing. its a small amount of time if youre a...
