Masterful interrogation by Schiff.
And of course the 'career officials' in the DOJ, whom Blanched repeatedly cited, are the same 'unelected bureaucrats' Trump has threatened to fire from Day One.

Re: Schiff vs Blanche
SCHIFF: Are you still Trump's criminal defense lawyer?
BLANCHE: Yep!
SCHIFF: Don't you think it would be a blatant conflict of interest if you were appointed to oversee the prosecution of those cases?
BLANCHE: Don't call it blatant!
SCHIFF: Are you going to destroy the evidence?
BLANCHE: Probably!
And so the march to banana Republican fascism continues unabated and unashamed.

I don't know that it was "masterful," but it's certainly good-quality hostile witness/cross-examination technique. In these types of hearings you can really tell who were the actual courtroom lawyers. Kamala Harris is pretty good at this, too.
GAH!
