LOL ... the failed first attempt at impeachment.
Even if that were true (it isn't), there would be no justification for holding secret hearings and prohibiting Republican members from participating (which is being done).In this case, the Congress was forced to act on their own because the DoJ wouldn't.
Kangaroo court comes to mind. Here is Google's definition:There are names for that sort of thing, but "impeachment hearings" isn't one of them.
I'm pretty sure that they want to complete their investigations first before making the decision on whether or not to bring charges; they also would have to decide on which charges to bring.Then why haven't they actually impeached him? There are no articles of impeachment.
Correct, this is not a trial and impeachment has not yet begun, contrary to your baseless assertions.Impeachment is a trial. The defendant has rights. What's happening now is not a trial.
He's not actually a defendant at this point in the process. He is being investigated right now, not tried.The defendant has no rights. Instead, the defendant here is lied about and slandered 24/7. If he criticizes any of it, he is lied about and slandered even more.
Wait, Mike Pence ran against Donald Trump in the last election? How did I miss that?You're entitled to your opinion.
In almost every country in the world, any group attempting for three years to overturn the last election results ... would be considered treasonous. That indeed fits the definition of treason.
Let's be clear. Attempting to win the next election is not treasonous. Attempting to overturn the last duly elected government is treasonous.
None of which lasted three years.
Oh, I see now what you meant.Because he's the person who becomes President if Trump is removed from office.
OK.After all, this is about "overturning the last election" isn't it?
1) The voters chose Hillary, not Trump. 2) Pence was elected specifically to take over if Trump could no longer execute the office of President.Oh, I see now what you meant.
OK.
After all, when it comes to the office of President, the voters chose Trump, not Pence. Who it is who is supposed to take over if something happens to the President doesn't really make that person the one who was elected President.
ALL of the members on the Intelligence Committee are allowed to ask questions. The only people who can't ask questions are the 3 members of the Judicial Committee, which are 2 Democrats and 1 Republican. They can attest to the whole proceeding that the Republicans are allowed to ask questions.Even if that were true (it isn't), there would be no justification for holding secret hearings and prohibiting Republican members from participating (which is being done).

the request for citation was not for what you linked. It’s so important to read before reacting.
care to try again?
It really can't be a partisan investigation if both political parties are allowed equal time to ask questions.The further this goes along, the less credible it seems. In the beginning, at least mainstream media personalities could carry it along a little with straight faces. Now, all testimony is behind closed doors. Transcripts are being withheld, and only Democrat talking points seem to be allowed out.
Adam Schiff's intelligence committee inquiry apparently cannot withstand the light of day, just as Jerry Nadler's earlier judicial committee inquiry couldn't. Nadler himself seems to have gone into hiding after the flameout his committee experienced with its inquiry. Adam Schiff is evidently hoping for some miracle to breath life into his inquiry. It's a long time until the 2020 election though. The Mueller investigation couldn't maintain a pretense for much more than two years, even when initiated with the full credibility and backing of the Department of Justice. It seems highly unlikely that Adam Schiff will be able to keep up the pretense of legitimate investigation for even a month, much less another year.
Time will tell of course. With the Mueller investigation, many Republicans were willing to support the investigation and wait for its conclusions. That's not happening with Schiff's hyper-partisan investigation. Everyone knows its purely partisan at this point ... an investigation which can't withstand the scrutiny which being open would bring to it.
Incorrect. That's a fantasy Hillary's been telling herself and others to dull the pain of her failed election attempt. Having a slightly higher vote count does not entitle Hillary and the Democrats to overturn the election.1) The voters chose Hillary, not Trump.

I'm sorry, but that isn't worth much of a reply. We have an electoral system and it works. Both candidates knew the system going in. If it had been a different system, such as a nationwide popular vote system, they would have done their campaigning with a mind to winning according to THOSE other rules. That's all there is to this. Oher than for the sour grapes, of course.1) The voters chose Hillary, not Trump.

Don't fool yourself into thinking that Trump voters in BLUE states wouldn't have turned out in droves if their votes would have mattered. Trump would have campaigned differently,as well, if the election were total votes rather than electoral college.
