the thing is, it doesn't matter if it's hearsay. This is not a trial, it's an inquiry, I.E. investigation. Even in trials, hearsay isn't just dismissed as inadmissible out of hand. Context matters. What you're seeing is a Trump defense that panders to the ignorant who only know of legal proceedings from TV shows. The reality is, and any practicing criminal or civil lawyer will tell you, that hearsay is frequently admissible as indirect evidence to reinforce direct evidence and is often times stronger than direct evidence.
It's not at all surprising that these are the kinds of tactics being used by Trump and house republicans. His base is largely uneducated and quickly accepts whatever the idiot says as fact without question or verification and Trump and co. are well aware of it.
Trump is selling "Impeachment Defense Force" membership cards, after all. If Trumpanzies weren't stupid enough to buy them, he wouldn't be selling them. Says a lot about their intellectual capacity.
