After Stanford Law Prof. Pamela Karlan tried to explain the difference between a U.S. president and a King by saying “the president can name his son Barron, he can’t make him a baron,” it was GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz’s turn to ask questions. In addition to slamming Karlan for invoking Trump’s minor son, he also had a “raise your hand if” request:

So the Judiciary Committee “witnesses” have actually witnessed just about as much as Schiff’s “witnesses” from the Intelligence Committee hearings — which is practically nothing.
