So he straight up committed a federal crime here right?

Will anything happen to any of these guys? Probably not but would be cool if there were some consequences

Q: Julie, what was today’s madness about?:

It was an attempt to deflect attention from what have been really damaging depositions and testimony from witnesses so far. When you can’t beat them on the substance, Republicans figure, you criticize the process. This is kind of an answer to that, but it isn’t part of a concerted strategy. They’re having a lot of difficulty figuring one out.

Q: There are already Republicans sitting on these committees conducting the impeachment investigation who had to confront their colleagues as they stormed in.

There is a division among Republicans in the House, between those who take this inquiry seriously — not willing to concede that Mr. Trump did anything wrong but nonetheless have said they’re open to the inquiry — and those who do not take the inquiry seriously at all, consider it illegitimate and don’t think they have to engage on the substance because they’re so convinced the process is broken. That’s what you saw today.

But some Republicans concede privately that it is difficult to mount an effective defense of Mr. Trump when much of the testimony and evidence available paints an unfavorable picture of the president, and there are few witnesses they could call who could credibly refute the accounts of a stream of administration officials who have testified.
