'....and I don't want to miss a thing'
We have only had the very first week of the public impeachment proceedings and already the testimony has been powerful with very reliable esteemed witnesses.We are now just beginning the second week of testimonies and now those with first hand knowledge of the (so called) president's misconduct will testify.
Here's the schedule for this week;
In response to:
The House Intelligence Committee will begin its second week of public hearings in its impeachment inquiry on Tuesday, holding five hearings with eight witnesses over three days.
The big picture: Unlike last week's testimonies from Bill Taylor, George Kent and Marie Yovanovitch, this week will see testimony from officials who directly listened in to President Trump's July 25 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky — as well others with direct knowledge about the alleged withholding of military aid to Ukraine.
The schedule
Tuesday AM: Lt. Col Alexander Vindman and Jennifer Williams
Vindman is the National Security Council's top Ukraine expert and a decorated Army veteran. He directly listened into the July call. During the closed-door hearings, he testified that acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney "coordinated" a plan to condition a White House meeting for Zelensky on an investigation into the Bidens.
Williams is an aide to Vice President Pence. She also listened into the July call, which she said was "unusual" and "shed some light on possible other motivations behind a security assistance hold."
Tuesday PM: Kurt Volker and Tim Morrison
Volker, the former U.S. special envoy to Ukraine, discussed Rudy Giuliani's involvement with Ukraine during his closed-door testimony.
Morrison is the National Security Council's former Russia and Europe director, who said he did not find the July call inappropriate, but confirmed other key instances at the heart of the impeachment inquiry in his closed-door testimony.
Wednesday AM: Gordon Sondland
Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, is expected to be the week's biggest witness. He revised his closed-door testimony to state that he told an aide to Zelensky that military assistance would not be released until Zelensky issued a statement agreeing to investigate Burisma, a gas company with ties to Biden's son.
Wednesday PM: Laura Cooper and David Hale
Cooper, the deputy assistant secretary of defense, said in her closed-door testimony that Trump directed the freezing of military aid via the Office of Management and Budget over corruption concerns.
Hale, the undersecretary of state for political affairs, spoke to what many officials described as Yovanovitch's questionable removal as ambassador to Ukraine during his closed-door testimony.
Thursday: Fiona Hill
Hill, Trump's former Russia adviser, discussed in her closed-door testimony how former national security adviser John Bolton was worried by the shadow diplomacy being conducted by Mulvaney, Sondland and Giuliani in Ukraine.

And we are barely past a week of the impeachment inquiry, which will likely go on for months.
Trump is ALREADY burnt toast. By the time this is done, he will be charcoal ashes.
I won't miss you dirty Don. But, I don't want to miss a thing.
