You and I both know that’s not in the Constitution, but we also know that it says the House makes it’s own rules and is the sole entity allowed to impeach so they can basically do it how they want. Whether or not the optics are good is another matter.


I don't disagree with this at all, but what they are doing is still without any historical precedent whatsoever and, I would argue, is probably not a precedent we really want to establish.

Oh, well. As long as there's even a chance it can hurt the bad orange guy, that's all that matters.

I can't wait until the GOP takes the House again.

The Democrats will regret the precedent that this sets.

Paybacks are a bitch. The next DEM President will be impeached from day one.

I don’t disagree with you either. I don’t have a problem with the closed sessions at the beginning to pin witness testimony down to make sure everyone doesn’t know what everyone else is saying.

That’s just for the beginning though. They really need to bring the witnesses they feel are key out into public hearings. They aren’t required to, but I feel having an impeachment vote after only closed door hearings would look really bad and be political malpractice.
