What Went Down On Day 1 Of The Impeachment Hearings

Republicans are already trying to slow down Democrats’ momentum with a number of procedural objections and requests. This is likely to be something we see a lot of in the coming week!

Some parliamentary inquiry from Stefanik brings up a little scuffle. Schiff says that members will only be stopped in their questioning if the line of questioning seems to be leading toward a revelation of the whistleblower’s identity. I sense this will be a theme!

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.
