公开弹each听证会的开始
发生了什么：对特朗普总统的弹each调查的公开部分于本周启动，带来的信息几乎是压倒性的。
发生了什么：上周三，国会开始对特朗普总统的弹each行为进行公开调查，让世界确切地了解到在调查总统与乌克兰的往来时，政治分歧的两面都在游击队中袖手旁观。首先，众议院情报委员会主席亚当·希夫（Adam Schiff）。
Schiff opens: "The questions presented by this impeachment inquiry are whether … President Trump sought to condition official acts … on Ukraine’s willingness to assist with two political investigations that would help his reelection campaign"
— Olivia Gazis (@Olivia_Gazis) November 13, 2019
Schiff is framing the stakes of impeachment in geopolitical terms: As the West vs. a president in cahoots with a revanchist Russia bent on subjugating Ukraine.
— Blake Hounshell (@blakehounshell) November 13, 2019
Schiff with the bottom line:
“If this is not impeachable conduct, what is?”

希夫（Schiff）的开场白是在共和党一边的另一名男子身上，他正在起诉一头假牛德文·纳尼斯（Devin Nunes）。

Difference between Schiff and Nunes opening statements:
Schiff is trying to speak to the entire country. Nunes is only speaking to the Trump base and the Fox audience.

要说Nunes的开场白使许多人感到困惑，这是轻描淡写。 （最终有一个注释版本供人们尝试理解。）
I wonder if this Nunes statement is remotely intelligible to anyone not steeped in Fox News arcana

Problem with @DevinNunes opening statement is that anyone not seeped in batshit crazy right-wing conspiracy theories will have no idea what the hell he is talking about.

周三会议的目的是听取欧洲和欧亚事务副助理秘书长乔治·肯特和比尔·泰勒大使关于特朗普政府与乌克兰关系的公开证词，但这并不意味着参加会议的每个人都渴望这样做发生。
Okay, time for open statements from Taylor and Kent, both have now been sworn in.
And…….we have a parliamentary inquiry from Rep. Elise Stefanik about when the GOP witnesses will be heard from.
— Hayes Brown (@HayesBrown) November 13, 2019
Oh, we've entered the "shitshow" phase even before swearing in.

尽管如此，肯特和泰勒还是有机会发表自己的意见。

George Kent: "I do not believe the United States should ask other countries to engage in selective, politically associated investigations or prosecutions against opponents of those in power, because such selective actions undermine the rule of law regardless of the country."
— Yamiche Alcindor (@Yamiche) November 13, 2019
George Kent: "I became increasingly aware of an effort by Rudy Giuliani and others… to run a campaign to smear Amb. Yovanovitch and other officials at the US embassy… During the late spring and summer of 2019, I became alarmed as these efforts bore fruit."
— Jacqueline Alemany (@JaxAlemany) November 13, 2019
George Kent’s major point that deserves more attention: Trump and Giuliani’s Ukraine policy contradicted all the U.S. has tried to do since 1991–ask Ukrainian leaders to observe the rule of law and not go after their political rivals.

Taylor drops a bombshell
New evidence directly fingers President Trump.
July 26 phone call where Trump checks in with Sondland on status of Ukraine’s Biden investigation.
Side note: Sondland omitted this. Intentional omission of material facts is perjury.#ImpeachmentHearings https://t.co/BFY3XZmbMM
— Ryan Goodman (@rgoodlaw) November 13, 2019
Bill Taylor, who was leading the embassy in Ukraine, said there was a "regular" and "highly irregular" policymaking process in Ukraine. Irregular included Giuliani, Mulvaney, Sondland, Rick Perry & Kurt Volker. "It operated mostly outside of official State Department channels."
— Josh Dawsey (@jdawsey1) November 13, 2019
有关各方对这两个人的质问有时是开明的，有时是完全莫名其妙的，这取决于您所处的政治通道。 （顺便说一句，这两个方面都是“关心事情真相的人”和“有兴趣尽可能掩盖总统行为的人。”）
Rep. Andre Carson: "Have you ever before seen an instance where an ambassador was forced out by the president following a smear campaign of misinformation orchestrated by the president's allies?"
George Kent: "I have not."
William Taylor: "Nor I." https://t.co/U0mYKRJsjy pic.twitter.com/GBe4UpWyI4

Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi: "You don't believe the July 25 call was 'perfect,' do you?"
Kent: "I think some of the language in the call gave cause for concern"
Krishnamoorthi: "Ambassador Taylor?"
Taylor: "I agree" https://t.co/s1DfaToONK pic.twitter.com/lqhPsdnjK1

.@RepValDemings: "Was Mr. Giuliani promoting US national interest or policy in Ukraine, Ambassador?"
Bill Taylor: "I don't think so, ma'am."

This – FINALLY – is the point. Very, very clear that the White House finally released the aid only when the whistleblower report was coming to light and the Intel committee was already starting its investigation! They relented because they finally got caught. pic.twitter.com/GiFbOMBKSE

Summary of Today's #ImpeachmentHearings
Democrats: We have a confession, a smoking gun and multiple witnesses to testify that the suspect fired a weapon and tried to kill someone.
Republicans: Yeah, but it didn't hit the guy. And who's the snitch who called 911?
— Keith Boykin (@keithboykin) November 13, 2019
The witnesses laid out a clear pattern of abuse of power.
Democrats used that testimony to construct a powerful, convincing narrative of Trump's corruption.
Republicans spouted conspiracy theories and attacked the process to prove their loyalty to Trump.#ImpeachmentHearings

公开听证会背后的理论是，这些听证会使美国人对这一问题发生的事情更加了解。当然，这只有在人们真正看到证词的情况下才有效，并且整个人口统计不一定会得到机会。
It's poss. Taylor's testimony could influence GOP voters, but not if they don't hear it.
Tuned into Fox to see if they'd start w a summary of what Taylor testified:
"crappy horror show" and "pornography for Democrats"
urging viewers "to skip it"#ImpeachmentHearings

这可以解释为什么一个著名人物似乎没有引起注意。
This sham hearing is not only boring, it is a colossal waste of taxpayer time & money. Congress should be working on passing USMCA, funding our govt & military, working on reduced drug pricing & so much more. @realDonaldTrump is working right now-the dems should follow his lead!

要点：让我们花点时间思考一下目前的弹imp调查听证会对2019年的政治有何评测。
