For the morons on here that claim the House's role in impeachment is akin to a grand jury

Here's where this doesn't even pass muster even if you are correct:

1) where the prosecutor is aware of substantial exculpatory evidence, it is DOJ POLICY that "...when a prosecutor conducting a grand jury inquiry is personally aware of substantial evidence that directly negates the guilt of a subject of the investigation, the prosecutor must present or otherwise disclose such evidence to the grand jury before seeking an indictment against such a person." LINK - NOT WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE

2) the panel hears ALL questions and ALL answers - and is even allowed to ask questions to the witness directly - thus, the GOP members should be allowed to ask any and all questions that they wish (which appears to not be happening).

3) In the case of impeachment, the "grand jury" panel is THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES - not just the Democrats and not just the members of the HSCI. In this case, non-members are not allowed to hear the witnesses' testimony or view transcripts.

4) Speaking of that, the grand jury meets and considers the prosecution's presentation of the case as a body, in real time. It does not select a "small working group" to listen to everything and then count on them to tell them what happened later.

and,

5) there are serious sanctions for breaching the secrecy of a grand jury proceeding (FRCrimP Rule 6(e)(2)(B)). By all indications, Schiff is freely leaking information to the press about what he wants them to know was said. While I wish it were not so, the GOP members that are in there appear to be abiding by the rules against leaks.

So, not only are you wrong, but even if you are right in using the analogy, you are still a dumbass.

+++++++++++++++++++++

As an aside, it is comical that Schiff has repeatedly stated that no classified information is being presented or discussed during these interviews/deposition, yet they are taking place in the SCIF.
