“...McConnell needs to attend...”
Truth is, Republican politicians are likely as much in the tank to see Trump gone as Democrats. Republicans just have to keep up some semblance of being on Trump’s side to keep their base fooled. Trump’s war on Globalism affects the very deep pockets of Tom Donahue’s Chamber of Commerce (aka professional politician’s candy store). It’s all about money.
They only think that is true because it is true.
Can we just get a grip here? This is not taking place in a Court of Law, it is a Congressional hearing and even the Supremes dare not interfere with either house they are allowed to run by their own rules. Politicians lie all the time, it is not a crime or Obozo would be in jail.
Hey now the gots principles, or so they say.
What Schiff is doing is not a legislative act, it is a political act and I doubt he really has impeachment as his first goal. He likely is beating this dead horse in attempt to so confuse voters it will influence the outcome of the next election.
bttt
I am not a legal person——
BUT-—Isn’t this WITNESS TAMPERING???
Sounds like Schiff is/was a Mormon missionary!!

If so, Schiff and Nadlers committees have no jurisdiction concerning impeachment power delegated to the House of Representatives entire ( not just one party)by Article I of the Constitution. The proceedings are null and void ab initio.
At some point the House of representatives must pass a Letter of Impeachment which is indeed a legislative act, and at that point that Letter of Impeachment, generated by only one party of the House of Representatives,in the absence of due process to either Republicans or The President could easily be classified as a Bill of Attainder by the Senate. Bills of Attainder are prohibited by Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution.
The bad propaganda goes on and as long as the media and the Senate are not on the President's side it will continue. I personally think their scam will not work, but that may just be more hope than reality. Obviously they think it will work, I hope and pray it doesn't.
I wish one of the Republicans would walk over to Schiff and punch that smirk right off of his disgusting face!
