Republicans breeze past security protocols, occupy secure impeachment area

You don't separate them during an impeachment inquiry, you allow cross examination. Since the democrats want to do this behind close doors with non-fact witnesses, the idea of due process is completely thrown out the window. Since you are an "investigator," why don't you look up the resolution passed with a bi-partisan congress for the inquiry into the Clinton impeachment. This is a sham, plain and simple. Hatred is not a reason to impeach a president. You have to have a crime to investigate, you don't investigate to find a crime, it's un-Constitutional.

What kind of precedent is this setting for future presidents? All three impeachment inquiries clinton, nixon and johnson have been open to the public because WE THE PEOPLE are responsible for OUR representatives decisions. THEY work for us and are supposed to take counsel from their constituents and an impeachment is a NATIONAL ordeal.

Cpl (Join to see) - That is not completely true. The hearings in the House were open, yes. But, there were preceded with closed-door interviews by special prosecutors. Only after the special counsels finished their reports did the House have the open hearings.

You are wrong stan... the BIPARTISAN resolution that passed on 12/19/1998 in the house was passed before the impeachment interviews began and it gave specific protections to bj clinton during the precedings which included DUE PROCESS. There were 11, count them 11, felony charges ranging from perjury to obstruction that sparked the impeachment by Henry Hyde in the JUDICIARY. What is occurring right now in unprecedented. There isn't a single crime that the democrats can fabricate and pen on the President. Hatred is not grounds for impeachment.

Now then, which Constitution did you swear to defend, the one where Article I Section II states, "THE HOUSE OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL..." Do you see that last word, it's PLURAL, meaning ALL MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE. Why don't you put yourself in the presidents shoes and imagine us trying to impeach you behind closed doors when you know you haven't committed a crime.

With all due respect, we have not been sold out. This is politics. Same old, same old. The mainstream media is helping create a narrative that is fueling tension and divide. Both sides of the aisle are either trying to help stoke the flames in their favor, or are trying to put them out.

If Trump acted with purity, their will be less media coverage.Trump promising to show his tax forms in 2016, Trump showing an incorrect hurricane map, and drumming up business at Doral are not fake news. SSG (Join to see)
