Congressman Doug Collins also opened his questioning by joking that George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, the only witness called to testify by the Republican minority of the House judiciary committee, was “well rested” after only being asked one question by the Democratic counsel.
Collins is now giving Turley time to expand on his earlier answer that is based around bribery.
During Dem questioning, he had to respond yes or no, was blocked from giving context earlier.
