It'll be business as usual in the Senate, despite the historic day in the House
The public impeachment hearings Wednesday will be a must-watch for Johnny Isakson, the retiring GOP senator from Georgia.Story Continued BelowAs top diplomats William Taylor and George Kent prepare to appear before the House in the first public phase of the inquiry, few senators said they had plans to watch most of the testimony on Wednesday.
“You should show him my schedule. I don’t have time to watch that tomorrow,” Sen. Chuck Grassley said to an aide, citing a Judiciary Committee hearing. “It’ll be worth [following] when they decide to give due process to a minority party the same way that we did when Clinton and Nixon” went through impeachment hearings.
It’s a continuation of a strategy Republicans latched on to last week as the House began releasing transcripts of its impeachment interviews and most GOP senators shrugged off a series of would-be bombshells. Many in the party now think there’s no point in even trying to keep up.
