Is an (R) list circulating in private or public?
The roster is not not alternating. So far House managers have the floor and are still abusing video clips* to demonstrate indisputable and disputed testimony. Which is problematic in defense of House witnesses corroborate each other's hearsay testimony and Art. II, obstruction a/k/a "cover-up". Jeffries nominates Mulvaney, Duffy, and Blair (OMB)--but his contribution may be incomplete. Jeffries (third spkr?) is followed by Gomez--who just resurrected Bolton's "forthcoming book" in lieu of redacted docs--followed by HUAC Rev. Chairman Mr Manager Schiff's concealment-fair trial monologue. -- * House evidence admitted to the senate for consideration: yesterday Crapo et al. solicited an accounting by R/WH managers.
PHILBIN....There were 17 witnesses who were deposed and testified--12 in public, 17 who were in closed hearings below. So far you have seen in these presentations 192 video clips from 13 different witnesses. ... I think the more official number is 28,578 pages. So you have got over 28,000 pages of documents submitted into the record provisionally in evidence in this trial, subject later to potential objections for hearsay and other evidentiary objections.
yanno, all of them are having troubles transforming the ahh meet-up which should not be "politicized" into a trial-above-teh-law, ie. USC, including but not limited to federal rules of evidence and procedure.

White House officials wanted more time to prepare their closing arguments in the case, said several sources. [...] Republicans suggest the trial could extend into next week due to scheduling concerns over the Iowa caucuses on Monday and Trump's State of the Union address on Tuesday.
Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), the No. 4 Senate Republican, said that the GOP may convene again later Friday after defeating a vote on whether to hear from more witnesses. [...] Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) did not respond to a question about timing. He may ultimately offer a motion on Friday that would set the parameters of the end of Trump's trial and determine whether senators [?!] will make final statements [?!] about their verdicts [?!] on Trump and how much time to give House managers and the White House counsel time to finish their arguments.
