    Perhaps in this instance, yes. It's going to be horrendous if they do decide to charge Trump. The entire system will be seen to be in cahoots with the Dems. Prime Tucker material.

    But they're both narcissistic common. It is. It is endemic to the proposition that In the political and bureaucratic class lies a solution to every problem even the ones they won't admit exist.

    So the fine folks asking the questions of the witnesses are representing Pelosi .... where are the folks that are cross examining the witnesses that represent Trump's side?..

    Impeachments are not trial-like until they hit the Senate the House investigates the articles of impeachment and the entire process is a political trial, not a criminal trial.

    What the hell are you talking about? Are you confusing a hearing in Congress with the court system?

    Wow! That's First Grade Elementary School level civics.

    No it's not!!!! Our democracy is waaaay more important than $7 a gallon gas prices, or paying $10 for a Big Mac.

    This is what somebody who doesn't understand the value of democracy would say. In a dictatorship like Venezuela or Russia, you'd be paying less than $1 a gallon. But you obviously have never lived in a dictatorship. So it's clear you have no idea what it is we are defending here.

    Why should the money (doubt there's any left) go to BLM? To further punish Trumpsters who already gave him money for nothing? Gonna have to disagree on that.

    Where did I say any of that? I'm sure Garland and the DOJ are working on various related matters, but they aren't going public with any of that. Never broadcast your battle plan to the enemy, right?

    The Jan 6 committee's investigation keeps turning up new evidence (mostly tweets, texts, emails, calls) and calling in new witnesses, which sometimes requires re-interviewing previous witnesses. Personally, I want everyone involved to face some kind of accountability.

    And yet- despite documented proof of intent to rig a presidential election, nothing has been done to bring Hillary Clinton to account for her actions.
    The dems biggest disappointment with Hillary is that the conspiracy she concocted failed; she didn't get away with it.

    So you are saying the Republicans on display are lying? That one may come back to bite you... I will remind you in the future.

    Exactly what it takes to see this clown show as anything but a clown show.

    Projecting much ? I’m sure you believe this fantasy because you know Republicans would rig an election in a heartbeat. In fact, Dirty Donnie tried and failed.

    You have no “documented proof”. You have no evidence. All you have is a failed crook who got tossed out of office because of his incompetence who acted like an infant for 3 months. Humiliation galore.

    Aren't the Republicans in the Senate mostly still on "Trump's side"?

    Sorry, but his sycophants are not elected officials, so no, they don't get to participate. That said, you do realize that the Jan 6 committee is not conducting a trial, right? This is deep fact-finding ... Garland and the DOJ are watching, and will be charging people where they see a crime in the testimony. At a trial, Trump supporting lawyers can participate if they are hired by any if the defendants.

    Yes it is a Kangaroo court with the rules on what goes written by Pelosi..
    these hearings and impeachments are held like a kagaroo court like you would see in communist countries.. prepared questions by one side and no cross examination by the other.
    Yeas another impeachment trial at least... like the other impeachment trials... no cross examination or representation from the other side...
    Take a few moments listen to Trey Gowdy... a man who has set in many a court room explain it...
    He has been in Congress and the court rooms and is much smarter about it than you could ever be...
    At about 1:30 ish...

    Hey, at least the congress is distracted from legislating. That is a plus. I always approve of these "investigations" for that reason. The more the merrier.

    Tunnel vision strikes you again.Always conveniently.

    All it takes for people to get along is to recognize facts and be reasonable. I realize that doesn't make sense, but the fact is that it's true.

    We know, with documented proof- that Hillary and the DNC conspired to create and paid for the creation and distribution of the infamous "dossier"designed to sabotage Trump's candidacy. Paper trail, emails, witnesses.

    IF Trump had done that, the entire left would be labeling it high treason and demanding he be hung- but it was THEIR candidate, so they pretend it didn't happen or doesn't matter.

    What that tells us is what they are capable of- how far below the standards of honor, decency and respect for self and the nation they are not only prepared to go, but eager to go. That is reading the people, by reading their actions. It's how you discover the TRUTH in the face of a sham.

    Trump's supporters on Jan 6th came for a specific reason, and that was to demand a forensic audit (totally independent with total access to any relevant part of the election process) to PROVE that Biden actually got 81 million legal and legitimate votes. IF there was nothing wrong, then such an audit would prove the election legit. WHY would the dems freak out trying to prevent it? Because there were things to find,and they didn't want anyone looking behind the facade. Everything to gain for them if they were- honest. Everything to lose if they were not.

    While there were 500,000 people there, but only a hundred or two had any part in violence, unlike the left's riots that burned cities and wreaked havoc all over the nation- and were called "mostly peaceful" by the left.
    We KNOW that within the group at the trouble spot, there were shills, people in the crowd there to incite riot and make the incident criminal- and that they worked for the left. Pictures, close-up videos of those people with audio, and identification of some of them... And THAT is evidence. NONE of them have been arrested or prosecuted or even sought out.... while people charged with trespass spend months in jail. That is all fact, not speculation.

    What kind of people would be behind such a scheme? It would take one devoid of conscience, with the most evil intent. They are part of the side you are on; there is no question of it.

    Anyone who can look at these facts and deny this truth is either supporting that effort to hide the treason it would be- or is too ignorant and gullible to recognize it.

    Take your choice. You are the one whose actions tell us who you are- we don't create that, but we can observe what you show us in your words.... AND your actions.

    You're saying the dems invited them to the sham trial, but they weren't brave enough to come in and legitimize the show?
    Perhaps you don't recognize the difference between courage and intelligence.

    They were smart enough to KNOW it was a political fraud, brave enough to treat it that way instead of being sucked in and serving the purpose of the unscrupulous sham.
    Hard to have a hanging if you can't get the target to come to the party, isn't it?
    The dems made themselves look like what they are, and more and more Americans are recognizing just what a steaming pile of guano that is.

    Just some quibbling from your hero who is too dumb or lacks good faith to realize this is no court; this is a presentation of testimonies. The panel invited anybody who wants to testify to do it.

    What is obvious though is that your " smart lawyer" was trying to have the reporter tell him what he wanted to hear: typical Trumpism!

    Sorry. It's nothing personal. I can understand that you don't understand what a virtual server is. Many people don't. But not knowing the difference between the court system and Congress is clear sign that it would just be a waste of time.

    Thanks anyway.

    And they draw it like a gun every time Trump is mentioned.
    I would refer to this when I am talking to the left
