They're there to school you on the Constitution with regard to impeachment, what the Founders intent was, it's purpose, reasons for starting an inquiry, what are the crimes that are encompassed in the clause, and how and why Trumps actions figure into that, or not. But it's not because things are going bad for the Dems, far from it, the evidence of Trumps abuse of power is overwhelming, but they do want to inform the American people as to why this action is so important in the defense of the Constitution, Democracy itself, and its future.

Let me splain how all this works in these here Untied States....
This entire impeachment sham is political. People will try to tell you otherwise, but we have Nadler lecturing us on how impeachment should never proceed without widespread bipartisan support, and how very dangerous it is to launch impeachment without it. (Well, that, of course, was when he was defending Clinton instead of attacking Trump).
Nancy has been all over the map on whether to impeach or not, whether to call it impeachment or not.... And Nancy had also declared it would only happen with bipartisan support.
You will get terribly uninformed armchair pundits tell you this is about ethics or the Constitution or principle --- but what it's about is getting rid of orange man.
The Democrats have tried all kinds of things -- collusion, Mueller report to prove collusion, Obstruction, Bribery....
They've messed it up so bad that they're having a bunch of liberal lawyers come in to try to convince the American people they're right to impeach Trump.
They're floundering, my friend. That's all you really need to know.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

but that doesn't make it a sham.
Calling it a sham is just you're way of hand waving away the evidence in your continued and unprincipled defense of Trump.
Politics, however, is the number one thing driving this impeachment sham. For you to deny that is just your way of hand waving away the political circus the Democrats have foisted on the American people.
It's politics - on BOTH sides.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Correct -- Schiff did that.
Nope - I'm fully prepared for whatever is proven with regards to Trump. I'm ready for President Pence, if it comes to that.

But Pence hates women because he won't be alone with them! He would be impeached too!

What I'm seeing so far is that the liberal law professors are invoking very loose, ad hoc definitions of otherwise specific and well-defined legal terms in order to make the case that Trump should be impeached.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

The liberal law professors don't even seem to be TRYING to show any "balance", but seem to be gung-ho pushing for impeachment. Now, I've not seen the whole thing, but the times I've peeked in, it's like the only reason they're there is to amen and encourage the political speeches the liberals are giving.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Turley seemed to be the only one who was trying to explain the Constitutional framework for impeachment. The other three were acting like prosecutors.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
