Still sounds weak to me....unless national security is at risk due to classified nature of expected testimony, seems to me the inquiries should be open.

Not excusing the juvenile and likely illegal storming....just can't seem to find much behavior in the Capitol to admire

The idea that a bunch of mostly lawyers question professionals under oath, but so fear they will not get the truth, that they go underground sounds ridiculous....fn shltshow ....by 'good' people on both sides....we are NOT getting our money's worth

Trump and his minions will be able to defend him once there are formal charges brought. He will get a full trial in the open, in front of the entire Senate. His lawyers will be able to bring in witnesses and cross examine. The judge will be the Chief Justice, whose job it will be to run the "trial". Bottom line will be that he gets impeached and the Senate won't convict him. He needs to chill out and let things pass quickly to get to the Senate ASAP. The more he speaks in public, the more he will say the wrong thing and give the House even more to work with. I guarantee you that is what his lawyers have told him.

It will be public. But these depositions typically are not initially for the reasons Frank mentioned.

For gods sake... the leader of our country prides himself on his ability to come up with derogatory names for people he doesn't like and to make it stick. That alone should make decent people pause.

Trump used the word "lynching" on purpose to incite people!




The phrase "talking out of their azz" comes to mind when I hear the trump haters contradict themselves.

Yes. There are forty-some-odd Republicans on the three committees holding the hearings.

those were the rules established by the GOP/Boehner when they were doing the Benghazi investigation of Hillary, behind closed doors...Trey Gowdy, the committee chairman spoke about the necessity for the closed door approach...behind closed doors without TV cams, one questioner gets a full hour, so there is less grandstanding compared to during the 5 minutes allowed in public hearings, and more actual facts...

if the witnesses were helpful to Trump, I am positive that the GOP would not be questioning the process...they'd be leaking all the good news for Trump from witness' statements...but it seems it hasn't been good for the POTUS ...so blast away at the process because "we can't defend the indefensible"

I actually agree with Gowdy on this one. 5 minutes of questioning by each politician is a farce and gets nowhere.

I gotta legitimate question for you guys. Do you suppose Trump ever has moments of simple human joy? I'm talking about those moments we all have that just make us happy and really aren't about us at all. For me, it's things like sitting on the water in my little boat on a cool morning watching the sunrise with a cup of coffee and a fishing rod in my hand, or hearing my wife or kids laugh or accomplishing a task I had been dreading or seeing something beautiful in nature for the first time. We all have them. Do you suppose Trump is capable of something like that? I believe those things are a sign of relative contentment in life...something I can't imagine Trump is capable of. Maybe I'm wrong.
