(26,289 posts)Their 'kicking him while he's down' routine might just backfire. I think they carefully crafted their questions to avoid getting any real information.

Tommy_Carcetti
(43,191 posts)And while he has done some terrible things in the past, he's pretty much what is needed at this time to counter this ridiculous grandstanding from Republicans.
COL Mustard
(5,918 posts)In his choice of employer, his conduct earlier and his actions. However, I think hes trying to redeem himself, and hes willing to let the chips fall where they will.

(56,828 posts)we should give people willing to turn on Trump a hand up and a pat on the back at least. He took Trump's tweets as a threat against his family and he's still testifying. They're the ones we're going to need to testify in courts of law and in any impeachment trials.

(146,325 posts)redeem himself. Really, it's over for him. His career, the respect of others, and probably much more. So, now that he has been reduced to a shameful state, he is taking his best shot at redemption by blowing the whistle on Trump.
Will it work? Not immediately, but he will gain some ground by this public testimony.
