re: #220 Jay C

They weren’t quite as desperate then: Schiff and the HPSCI pretty much (IMO) masterfully wrong-footed and flummoxed the GOP, and seized the whole narrative for the media. We’ll have to wait and see, but other than more histrionics - and nitpicky “analyses” like Prof. Turley’s they probably don’t have much left.

But I can pretty much guarantee that Fox and the rest of the RWNM are going to be going full lights-and-sirens on the “Turley destroyed the Democrats’ case!!!!” tack (see #190) for tonight’s news (complete with the usual out-of-context citations, head-nodding concurrences from the talking-heads, and brilliant “analysis” from the likes of Jeanine Pirro), and try to blare COMPLETE EXONERATION!!11!!1! at every opportunity.

You can bet Pirro won’t have Napolitano on tonight.

Fox News’ Judge Napolitano crushes Turley: “The House has sole power of impeachment. It does not need to go to a court… When the president receives a subpoena, Mick Mulvaney, Mike Pompeo receive a subpoena and they throw it in a drawer… that is the act of obstruction.” pic.twitter.com/WjoKgkvImS
