2/ It’s now day 8 and habits are loosening up in the Senate chamber. More side conversations, more milling about. I even heard about some Senators sneaking some pleasure reading onto their desks.— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) January 30, 2020
4/ I have a list of like 5 questions I want to ask. I’ve given them to Schumer and his team so they can group the questions in some logical order. But halfway through the day Schiff says something that changes my mind.— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) January 30, 2020
6/ I scribble down my question as legibly as I can and hand it Schumer’s staff. They agree that it’s a good question and they send it to get typed up. I wonder if my staff will be sore that we worked for hours on questions and now I wrote a new one in 5 seconds.

8/ With 15 minutes to go I finally get to ask my question. Sekukow smacks it down, reserving the right to contest Bolton and other witnesses in court for months. This is their game - threaten the Senate with endless delays if we dare try to seek the truth. pic.twitter.com/Y5fpB25de2— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) January 30, 2020
9/ The trial ends at 11. I run over and do a quick appearance on @11thHour on @MSNBC, and head back to the office.— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) January 30, 2020
I run into @SenJohnThune in the elevator. “John, I never knew you could get so tired from just sitting on your ass 10 hours.”
