The House's hearings are more like a grand jury than a trial. They can pee and moan and toss dirt in the air and commiserate and have all the horsie poo they want without Trump -- the real trial doesn't begin until this circus folds its tents and hands things over to the Senate.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

As President, he gets special treatment. Being an ex "law man" you'd think you'd understand the difference.
No one is required to show up for an investigation - marsupial or otherwise. Only fools show up to keep the witch hunters from humiliating themselves - and Trump is simply proving he's no fool.
Pelosi might be able to force this crap through (still dubious) but the Senate trial will destroy the Democrats for years to come - assuming they stay together.
The Dems have only one way out - and their leftist base will eat them alive for it - find an excuse to drop it. Censure will only irritate the base and everyone else. Impeachment is suicide.

Originally posted by Teallaura View PostJim, that's only true of felony charges brought at arraignment and trial - you don't even have charges. Or, to the best of my knowledge, a subpoena. If the Judiciary committee wants the testimony, they know what to do - but they aren't doing it.

Maybe.
The evidence is next to nonexistent but I agree it's managing to get worse.
The Dem leadership is insane.
The Dems are undermining the constitution by the misuse of impeachment.
