There is nothing in that phone call that is a legitimate excuse for impeachment.

Even Donald's employees disagree. You might need to catch up on their testimony before continuing down this particular path of talking points.

Nope, they have had access to every witness and have asked questions.
Some of the transcripts of the witness testimonies has been released and you can see from those that the Reps. were asking questions.

Here's a link to Bill Taylor testimony.
It's almost embarrassing to read these attempts to make the hearings sound fair.

Oh yes, a question can theoretically be asked, but the Chairman decides if you will be allowed to ask that one. And can you summon witnesses the same as the majority party does? Oh, no. They aren't allowed to do that. And so it goes...until we read posts like this one trying to sugar-coat an absolutely disgraceful show.

Perhaps the Republicans should have established more fair rules then. They set these rules, and the Benghazi investigations operated under these rules. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

It's almost embarrassing to see people complain about rules their side made to begin with.
Actually, it's not almost embarrassing, it's just full blown embarrassing.

Except that these are not rules that the minority ever made or agreed to. You know that, I am sure, so maybe there's just some misunderstanding.

You mean the Democrats? No you’re right, the Republicans never asked them to agree to those rules, they simply imposed them. And now as so often happens, they are reaping exactly what they sowed.

Sorry but you don’t get a different set of rules for your opponents.

Interesting hypothetical questions. Any chance you can connect them to the actual transcripts and show where this has put any sort of specific roadblocks up in preventing a legitimate defense of Donald's actions?
