Been watching the impeachment hearings today (mainly because it's too
freakin' cold out to go outside).

One thing that has struck me.

If the questions being asked mostly by the Democrats were being asked
in a court of law rather than a congressional public hearing, most
would never be allowed by a judge.

This is more so by the Democrat members of congress. The lawyers
(non-congresspersons) did a decent job but the regular office
holders, even though many are lawyers, would never get away with
their leading questions and conclusions forced upon Taylor and Kent.
