What Went Down On Day 1 Of The Impeachment Hearings

Smart choice to have Rep. Elise Stefanik needle Schiff here on his obstruction of Republican participation in the investigation — she’s one of the more moderate Republicans on the committee.

If the goal for Republicans is to defend the president on the merits — as opposed to the process — there wasn’t much of note in the Nunes opening statement. Republicans on the committee remain more comfortable attacking Democrats than defending the president, at least for now.
