Mr. Ciscellini.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Professor Feldman, let me begin with by stating the obvious.

It is not hearsay when the President tells the President of Ukraine to investigate his political

adversary, is it?

It is not. It is not.

It is not hearsay when the president then confesses on national television to doing that, is it?

It is not.

It is not hearsay when administration officials testify that they hear the president say he only cares about the

investigations of his political opponent. Is it? No, that is not hearsay. And there's

lots of other direct evidence in this 300-page report from the Intelligence

Committee.

So let's dispense with that claim by my Republican colleagues.

Professor Gerriti,

Professor Turley, notwithstanding what he said today,

wrote in August 1st, 2014 in a piece called five myths about impeachment.

One of the myths he was rejecting was that impeachment required a criminal offense.

And he wrote, and I quote, an offense does not have to be indictable serious misconduct or a violation of public trust is enough end quote

was professor turdily right when he wrote that back in 2014? Yes, I agree with that.

OK.

Now, next I'm going to move to Professor Carlin.

At the Constitutional Convention, Elbridge Jerry
