As long as the Republicans completely and utterly fail to get the brass ring, the self-contradiction, they (the Dems) are right. When the questioner throws up their hands out of frustration, that is losing. Like it or not. The questioner has to achieve the self-contradiction. That is the gold, the silver, and the bronze all in one and there is no second prize. The line of questioning must not be improvised against a skilled deflector such as Strzok. Gowdy seriously underestimated him, or failed to prepare, or both. Pathetic. Gohmert was thoroughly and skillfully derailed. “Oh come on” does not work.
You have to start with the (or a) contradiction, then work backwards towards the supporting questions that cause the deponent to testify both sides of the contradiction, then wander towards and then meet at the junction and pose the impossible. I can’t emphasize this enough. There is only one functional result. Any variation is a failure. You cannot rely upon some imagined buildup of shame. This is litigation 101 and the Repubs are incompetently blowing the chance they have waited over a year for.
It's the Uniparty
They play for the same team as the Donks, but they wear red jerseys instead of blue ones.
