Quite.
Castor's skill appears limited to taking depositions - where one allows the witness to rattle on in the absence of any jury for discovery purposes and later impeachment purposes.
But here, in what may be the last shot by the GOP at Hill in front of a large portion of America, he allows her to run the examination.
I say "last shot" because obviously there are serious risks for the D's if a trial is held and they may welcome a way out of the matter. If the D's believe they have sufficiently established in the minds of enough new voters that Trump is "clearly and obviously guilty", they may vote on Articles of Impeachment and then argue there is no way justice will be served by letting the R dominated Senate decide the issue.
What is laughable about this event, apart from its potentially devastating impact on our nation, is that if a president were to grant foreign aid to a nation in the face of clear evidence of that nation's corruption, that president could be found unfit for office.
Should have written: ”...at least in this setting.”
