Diplomat Couldn't Help But Roll His Eyes During Tense Exchange With GOP Congressman During Impeachment Hearing

Diplomat Couldn't Help But Roll His Eyes During Tense Exchange With GOP Congressman During Impeachment Hearing
C-SPAN3

The final public impeachment hearings for the foreseeable future made just as big a splash in Washington as their predecessors.


Former National Security Director Fiona Hill and U.S. political affairs council in Ukraine David Holmes took the stand to testify before the House Intelligence Committee overseeing the impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump.

It led to some testy exchanges.

One of the most memorable moments was during questions from Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH), famous for sanctimoniously yelling at witnesses and often stonewalling them.

Jordan badgered Holmes as to why acting Ambassador to Ukraine, William Taylor, didn't bring up to European Union Ambassador Gordon Sondland a phone call between Trump and Sondland.

Holmes and Taylor both testified to hearing the phone call, in which Sondland told Trump that Ukrainian President Voldoymyr Zelensky "loves your ass" and Trump asked about the status of "investigations."

Jordan repeatedly interrupted as Holmes tried to answer, prompting the diplomat to deliver side-eye that spoke for a nation.

Watch below.

Jordan's frequent interruptions prompted Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) to bang the gavel to silence him.

Holmes was finally able to answer that Taylor likely didn't bring up the phone call because it was common knowledge by then that Sondland and Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani were working on behalf of the President to spur investigations of Trump's potential 2020 opponent.

No wonder Jordan didn't want him to answer.




Holmes' eye-roll was simply the cherry on top, and people related.




Even patriots get frustrated.

Trump Dragged After Making Ridiculous Claim About Randomly Finding Billions On The 'Tariff Shelf'

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed to reporters this week that officials in his administration suddenly found $30 billion they "never knew existed"—located on what Trump referred to as the "tariff shelf."

Tariffs are a tax on imported goods, usually calculated as a percentage of the purchase price. While tariffs can shield domestic manufacturers by making foreign products more expensive, they are also used as a tool to penalize countries engaged in unfair trade practices, such as government subsidies or dumping goods below market value.

Bride's Friends Surprise Her With Montage Video Of All Her Exes At Bachelorette Party—And People Are Mortified

While Jenny Han's novel To All the Boys I've Loved Before was a major hit, and even became a great film success in 2018, not everyone's married to the idea of reconnecting with their exes after the relationships end.

It might be nice to imagine staying friends after the relationships, imagining our exes missing us or regretting losing us, or even giving us an apology for the things they did wrong. But most of us pine for this for a little while, realize it's all a fairy tale, and push past it to better things and new love.
