WASHINGTON, D.C.: Discredit the witnesses, dismiss the accusations against President Donald Trump as hearsay, shift the focus to the Bidens and unmask the whistleblower. The outlines of the White House defense are clear after Day One of the impeachment hearings in the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives. “We learned that the Democrats really have no case against the president,” Conway said on Fox News. Jim Jordan, a Republican congressman from Ohio, echoed Conway’s preoccupation with the whistleblower in an appearance on the “Fox & Friends” show. “These are the first two star witnesses in this impeachment sham process they’ve got going and neither one talked to the president,” Jordan said.
