公開彈each聽證會的開始
發生了什麼：對特朗普總統的彈each調查的公開部分於本周啟動，帶來的信息幾乎是壓倒性的。
發生了什麼：上周三，國會開始對特朗普總統的彈each行為進行公開調查，讓世界確切地了解到在調查總統與烏克蘭的往來時，政治分歧的兩面都在游擊隊中袖手旁觀。首先，眾議院情報委員會主席亞當·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）的開場白是在共和黨一邊的另一名男子身上，他正在起訴一頭假牛德文·納尼斯（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.

要說Nunes的開場白使許多人感到困惑，這是輕描淡寫。 （最終有一個注釋版本供人們嘗試理解。）
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.

周三會議的目的是聽取歐洲和歐亞事務副助理秘書長喬治·肯特和比爾·泰勒大使關於特朗普政府與烏克蘭關係的公開證詞，但這並不意味著參加會議的每個人都渴望這樣做發生。
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.
— 💀 damned sinker 💀 (@dansinker) November 13, 2019
儘管如此，肯特和泰勒還是有機會發表自己的意見。
BIG
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."

有關各方對這兩個人的質問有時是開明的，有時是完全莫名其妙的，這取決於您所處的政治通道。 （順便說一句，這兩個方面都是「關心事情真相的人」和「有興趣儘可能掩蓋總統行為的人。」）
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."
George Kent: "No he was not." #ImpeachmentHearings pic.twitter.com/ly56jlQ2DD

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

公開聽證會背後的理論是，這些聽證會使美國人對這一問題發生的事情更加了解。當然，這隻有在人們真正看到證詞的情況下才有效，並且整個人口統計不一定會得到機會。
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

這可以解釋為什麼一個著名人物似乎沒有引起注意。
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!

要點：讓我們花點時間思考一下目前的彈imp調查聽證會對2019年的政治有何評測。
