    Always? Do defense lawyers get to question people in a grand jury? Do they get to call witnesses?

    And what about Nick Akerman and Andrew Napolitano? How do you rate their legal expertise?

    The problem for Democrats is that so very few people did read the Mueller report. Instead, they heard Trump and his supporters yelling over and over, "No Collusion, No Obstruction." Meanwhile, Mueller laid out at least ten instances where Trump arguably Obstructed Justice. And here they are graphed against the elements of the crime.

    It's your assertion it's true. Your response tells me it's likely fake.

    I believe it was the Washington post that coined the phrase "Democracy dies in darkness". I guess that's why the Democrats "impeachment hearings" are closed door and held in secret.

    You are upset as your messiah's perfidy is being exposed. The process may be more ponderous than you wish, but the truth is being revealed, and the truth - that some are clearly desperate to conceal - is what matters.

    The mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine.

    Why did all house republicans vote against taking the hearings public?

    I love that everything — all the lies and bullshit — is so easily archived and brought back up.
    Gives me a warm feeling in my belly.

    It’s going to be even more fun in several years when all the republicans are saying they never supported the impeached president.

    HOUSE FORMALIZES IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY IN PARTY-LINE VOTE:

    Meanwhile, the GOP Senate majority has warned that the resolution is a non-starter in the upper chamber.

    “They have denied President Trump basic due process and are cutting his counsel out of the process in an unprecedented way. House Democrats’ new resolution does not change any of that,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Wednesday. “The draft resolution that has been released does nothing of the sort. It falls way short, way short.”​

    The Trump campaign immediately slammed the resolution, calling it an “attempt to remove a duly-elected president for strictly political reasons” and adding that “voters will punish Democrats who support this farce.”

    “If you’re going to overturn the election of a president, you would think that you’d want a few brave souls from the opposition to at least give the appearance of bi-partisanship. Democrats are realizing that this simply isn’t going to happen and it calls into question the legitimacy of their entire inquiry… Democrats don’t think they’ll be hurt much by the partisan appearance of their inquiry. It will certainly please the hysterical, anti-Trump vote — the real power in the party. They don’t care what impeachment looks like, they just want it done. That may well be their undoing.”​

    Trump himself tweeted in response, “The Greatest Witch Hunt In American History!”

    The Adam Schiff Empowerment Act:

    “‘There’s no guarantee we can call any witnesses,’ said Republican Rep. Brad Wenstrup, a member of the Intelligence Committee, in an interview Wednesday. ‘The rules the Democrats rammed through simply confirm the absolute control Schiff has been exercising this entire time,’ Nunes said. ‘He shouldn’t be involved in impeachment at all since none of this has any intelligence component, but Pelosi obviously thinks Nadler is incompetent.’”​

    We’re putting the band back together!

    “Striking that in House Rules Committee meeting on impeachment inquiry resolution, No. 2 Democrat, Rep. Alcee Hastings, has actually been impeached. (Was federal judge, impeached, convicted, and removed for bribery in 1989.)”​
