Wall Street Journal: “At the end of the session on Wednesday, Chief Justice John Roberts noted that a ‘single one-page classified document’ identified by the House managers for filing with the Secretary of the Senate would not be made part of the public record or printed, ‘but shall be made available’ to senators to review in a classified setting.”

The classified document appears to be related to a phone call between Vice President Mike Pence and Ukraine President Zelenskiy.

1. The Democrats will read it and the Repubs will ignore it.

2. All evidence must be hidden.

3. Chris Murphy said that there was nothing classified in it

unless they meant to not let Democrats read it easily?

4. huh...must have already been

classified, right? It's not like the Republicans or the Chief Justice can classify something, willy-nilly. I keep forgetting what country I'm in.

Democratic official working on the impeachment trial said the document is supplemental testimony from Jennifer Williams, assistant to Vice President Mike Pence. The House Intelligence Committee had originally received it Nov. 26.

On Tuesday night, Senate Republicans voted down an amendment that would have explicitly allowed the Senate to receive classified information into evidence. Chief Justice Roberts' announcement Wednesday night revealed an agreement to allow classified information into the record under the Standing Rules of the Senate.

5. The Republicans are going to make a big show of rolling their eyes and not viewing it

Their behavior over the last two days has been ridiculous and churlish.
