Impeachment Witness Pamela Karlan Scolds GOP Rep for Suggesting She Didn’t Read Testimony: ‘I’m Insulted!’

READING THE RIOT ACT

Rep. Doug Collins walks into the Pamela Karlan buzz saw.

Stanford Law Prof. Pamela Karlan, one of the witnesses testifying at Wednesday’s House Judiciary impeachment hearing, laced into Ranking Member Doug Collins (R-GA) after he said she and other witnesses “couldn’t have possibly actually digested” previous testimony and the recently released impeachment report by the House Intelligence Committee.

“Mr. Collins, I would like to say to you, sir, that I read transcripts of every one of the witnesses who appeared in the live hearings,” Karlan passionately exclaimed. “Because I would not speak about these things without reviewing the facts, so I’m insulted by the suggestion that, as a law professor, I don’t care about those facts.”
