Article snippet: The party was held at the Capitol Hill establishment Hawk ‘n’ Dove, just a stone’s throw from where the impeachment hearings were held this week. About 15 staffers celebrated with Democrat counsel Daniel Goldman, with at least four rounds of cheers. There was a table topped with hamburger sliders and other snacks. The crew seemed to be in good spirits — many laughing and smiling. It was not clear whether they thought the public hearings went well, or because they were relieved the marathon week of days-long hearings was over. The staffers were in a cordoned-off section of the bar upstairs. Sean Misko, a House Intelligence Committee staffer and former National Security Council official, was there. The party started approximately at 6:30 p.m. ET and wrapped up around 8:00 p.m. ET. Goldman himself seemed to be in a good mood, smiling and chatting with staffers, and staying until the end. On Saturday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) portrayed the impeachment inquiry as a somber event: Despite Democrat staffers toasting the conclusion of the hearings, a House Republican source questioned whether the hearings were positive for the Democrats: A patron outside of the bar noted how packed it was inside, considering the busy week of impeachment hearings. He noted that he thought he saw a “dead ringer” for Goldman enter the bar.   Follow Breitbart News’s @Kristina_Wong. Link to the full article to read more
