Question for the WaPost Fact Checker: Is the 15-page transcript as good as say 10 hours of testimony?
Hugh Hewitt got into it with Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler this morning after the “Fact Checker” criticized Huge for daring to ask to see the entire transcript of diplomat Bill Taylor’s testimony on Tuesday:
Taylor's testimony is unknown to me, and to you @ron_fournier. Leaked accounts are disputed. Neither you nor I know what he testified. This is why Star Chamber has such a bad reputation and why we don't do trials in secret. Don't abandon first principles to get @realDonaldTrump twitter.com/ron_fournier/s…

Uh, @hughhewitt, Taylor's complete and unedited 15-page opening statement was posted about 18 hours ago on the news organization website that prints your opinion column. Dig in! washingtonpost.com/context/openin… twitter.com/hughhewitt/sta…

Can we get a fact check on whether or not a 15-page opening statement is the same as say 10 hours of testimony please? New motto: Democracy thrives in darkness:
Uh @GlennKesslerWP, as I just spent show underscoring, an opening statement while part of record is nowhere, in any serious proceeding, considered dispositive of any question, otherwise we'd never have questions from the Members or, in courtrooms, cross much less other witnesses. twitter.com/GlennKesslerWP…

Why don’t Dems want Republicans and the public to see EVERYTHING that’s been said?
The screams from the left that Ambassador Taylor's opening statement must not, in any way or for even a second, be considered as other than dispositive of the guilt of @realDonaldTrump of an impeachable offense demanding conviction and removal telegraphs weakness of case.

As for other news from his show this morning, Energy Sec. Rick Perry vehemently denied there was any quid pro quo with Ukraine:
From this AM’s intv w/ @SecretaryPerry:
“HH: Were you ever involved in anything that looked like a quid pro quo with the Ukraine concerning, with Ukraine concerning aid to them?
RP: No.” hughhewitt.com/energy-secreta…

More from @SecretaryPerry re @realDonaldTrump:
“And that’s exactly what’s going on with this president. It is totally and absolutely, number one, not following precedent and not following the law. 2 twitter.com/hughhewitt/sta…

And that’s one of the reasons that my office has said listen, if you want to follow the law, Democrats in Congress in this impeachment issue, follow the law and follow precedent. But I’m not going to participate until you do that. 3

So it’s an important message for the American people, is that you truly have an effort going on here that’s not following the law.” 4 hughhewitt.com/energy-secreta…
