    Why are the Democrats questioning the former US Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch behind closed doors?

    I thought the Democrats were all for transparency? What a bunch of hypocrites!

    The only reason they want a closed door meeting is so they can control the narrative by leaking out what they want in order to make the President look bad.

    It is absolutely sickening and disgusting what the Democrats are doing. Shame on them!

    Sometimes the questions are about confidential information.

    "The only reason they want a closed door meeting is so they can control the narrative by leaking out what they want in order to make the President look bad." No need. Trump doesn't need our help to do that.

    ?It is absolutely sickening and disgusting what the Democrats are doing. Shame on them! "
    It is absolutely sickening and disgusting what the Republicans are not doing. Shame on them!

    Like Barr's report that you left-wingers got all pissed off about because it had some sensitive items blacked out?

    The only people looking bad are the Democrats.

    A plot of sedition is not something that can be planned in the open.

    It will be appealed to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan, which will delay enforcement of the subpoena. Then the tax witch hunt will eventually die the death it deserves, even if it takes the Supreme Court to do so.

    Transparency is a subjective term, not a legal term.

    Your post is a perfect example of what the founders of our country did not want impeachment based upon; that of public opinion. Public opinion is what elections are based upon.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_of_Parliament_(United_Kingdom).

    "The first duty of a member of Parliament is to do what he thinks in his faithful and disinterested judgement is right and necessary for the honour and safety of Great Britain.

    " His second duty is to his constituents, of whom he is the representative but not the delegate. Burke's famous declaration on this subject is well known.

    " It is only in the third place that his duty to party organization or programme takes rank. All these three loyalties should be observed, but there is no doubt of the order in which they stand under any healthy manifestation of democracy."

     Winston Churchill, Duties of a Member of Parliament (c.1954–1955)

    It's funny that even a Fox News poll now shows this.

    That poll has already been debunked.

    Party ID
    Democrat: 48%
    Republican: 40%
    Independent: 12%

    For years now Fox has outsourced their polls to a polling agency that skews far to the left. They need to either find a new polling outlet, or quit polling altogether.

    Correct. I constantly have to remind the lefties that even though it says "Fox News Poll", Fox News didn't actually do the polling. A contracted third party polling organization did the actual polling.

    Gee! Another fake poll.

    When Trump wins re-election and Republicans pick up seats in 2020, will you admit that these polls mean diddly squat?

    I don't know what to tell you. Maybe you should explain why you think it will make the Democrats look bad. Did you have a poll? Or did you just make it up.

    Yep. Had an average of the last three. They had Clinton nationally by 2.5. She won by 2.1.
    I guess that's why I trust them more than you do.
    What do you use? A crystal ball or a magic 8 ball?
