Here are the top takeaways from the House judiciary panel’s impeachment hearing, which ended yesterday.
Unlike the Intelligence Committee hearings, there were no bombshells of new information delivered by the witnesses who testified Wednesday. But the judiciary panel still managed to achieve similar levels of partisanship and rhetorical bitterness.
Republicans then put forward a motion calling for Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., to testify. The stunt forced a roll-call vote, which in a 41-member committee takes time, before Democrats voted to table it. Karlan also offered the most striking quip of the hearing, when she made a reference to Trump's youngest son, 13-year-old Barron, while pushing back on Trump's extremely broad interpretation of his powers under Article II of the Constitution.
