Chairman Adam Schiff and Ranking Member Devin Nunes both yielded large chunks of their time today to attorneys.
The first public hearing of the House impeachment inquiry took place Wednesday, and while it featured many faces familiar to viewers who have been paying close attention, the faces of two attorneys near the start of the day may have been unfamiliar.
Schiff and Nunes commissioned the seasoned attorneys to ask more in-depth direct and and cross-examination questions during their allotted time frames with William Taylor, the top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine, and George Kent, a senior State Department official. Nine minutes after Schiff asked Taylor to re-read his most notable text messages to U.S. envoy Kurt Volker and U.S. ambassador to the European Union Gordon D. Sondland, the floor was given to Goldman.
In his questioning on behalf of the Democrat, Goldman led Taylor and Kent to repeat and highlight some of their most forceful and critical statements.He served on the top investigative panel in the House since 2005 and has been involved in tons of high-profile probes as chief investigator for House Oversight and Reform. He was at the tip of the spear for cases like the"Fast and Furious" gun-running probe, conservative bias at the IRS and steroids in baseball.
