As Twitchy reported, one thing we learned from Wednesday’s impeachment hearings is that “hearsay can be much better evidence” than direct evidence; those were the wise words of Democratic Rep. Mike Quigley. And there was a lot of hearsay going around, as Republican Rep. Jim Jordan so well put it.
Here’s radio host Dan O’Donnell:
In what court of law in this country would the statement “After I testified, my aide told me he overheard Trump through a cell phone tell another guy something about the investigation” be admissible as evidence?

It doesn’t sound like Quigley convinced a lot of people with his defense of hearsay evidence, and on CNN Wednesday afternoon, legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin even admitted the Democrats have a problem:
CNN’s Toobin: neither witness “had direct contact with the president…that’s a problem”https://t.co/fjNz4cr00Z pic.twitter.com/zKW239luNF

Democrats have already voted down the GOP’s request to subpoena the whistleblower, and not even he was on the phone call that set all this off.
Donald Trump Jr. was pretty amused to see Toobin admit the game of telephone the Democrats are playing is going to be a problem.
When even CNN’s Toobin is calling BS… ??? https://t.co/2WzlFpazGA

Yeah it is a problem. It means neither one of them are actually witnesses.

OMG! Did the Earth just stop spinning too? Never thought I'd hear this from CNN. Must be a sign of the upcoming apocalypse.

It’s all a waste of time.

Next witness please, Mr. Biggs? "Yes, sir". What do you know? "The President did a quid pro quo with Ukraine." What proof do you have? "I heard it from a guy at work who heard it on MSNBC."

How can anybody see the hearings and come out with " yeah we need to impeach him"? Makes no sense and they already gave us their star witness ?

In case anyone is wondering:
The needle didn’t move either direction as a result of today’s hearing.
No surprise, and I’d say that favors the GOP.

Agreed. No one changed any minds Wednesday, and there weren’t any bombshells the media can use to change the public’s mind either.
Wow #CNN actually covered this??

Toobin is CANCELLED!

The biggest problem is that these "witnesses" claimed to have psychic powers to be able to mindread the people who were on the call, without providing any evidence of their psychic prowess. Schiff should've asked them to guess what number he was thinking.

But, but, but, the evidence is “overwhelming”. ?
