18% of Republicans, and 49% overall, favor Trump’s impeachment and removal.

This was before Trump sold out the Kurds and withdrew from the open skies treaty.

All of Trump's actions are going to force the GOP senators hands.

Nancy needs to take a vote.
And, Schiff needs to release the transcripts of the interviews that have been conducted behind closed doors.
This should not be a secretive process and Congress should go on record with their votes.

Are you this demanding of all of the transcripts, documents and testimony that Trump is withholding? Where are the taxes he PROMISED to release in 2015?

Hey, genius... we are talking about the impeachment "hearings."
If the Democrats are so keen on removing a president who was elected by the people, they should allow the public who voted for him to either view the hearings they hold or, at a minimum, read the transcripts of those interviews.
Why is Schiff reluctant to release the transcripts? I think we know why.

I agree these are impeachment hearings. There are also some national security concerns and more importantly, the anonymous whistleblower.

You may disagree with that anonymity, but that's how the whistleblower wants it, and it's their right.

Right now, I couldn't care less about the whistleblower.
Where are the transcripts for the interviews conducted thus far? And, why were they done in private?

Hey genius, they are in research phase. At the point that it is determined that the facts lead them to something more than an inquiry, the evidence will be presented. They aren't close to that stage yet.

That "research phase" should be public. And, they should vote to conduct this inquiry just like they have for other impeachment inquiries that have occurred.

That's not how this works.

Well, no. The other side is compromised and can’t be trusted not to destroy evidence, intimidate witnesses, obstruct justice, and not to release doctored “evidence.” Too many sharpies and “summaries” that don’t even jive with the full reports.

Once all the evidence is collected and preserved, you can bet it will be made public. But not until that time.

It's clear that "not how this works." At least when it comes to the Democrats.
They won't allow their members to go on record with a vote.
They won't allow people to testify in public - risking disputing their narrative.
They want this "inquiry" to happen quickly and in secret. The American people cannot know their motivation.

McConnell has set the precedent for doing whatever can be gotten away with. Take it up with him.

The media can fool people...for a bit.

Eventually the truth comes out, and the liars lose the little credibility they have left.

The Boy Who Cried Wolf should be required reading in every newsroom and every Dem's office -- they have forgotten its crucial message.

I have yet to see a single Trump supporter who's crying about the tradition of take a vote for the inquiry address the GOP's erosion of all the other traditions in the last 3 years.

Hard for the truth to come out when the administration stonewalls. Why won't State let Gordy Sondland testify? I'm sure he could clear up this whole mess.

When Pelosi decides to make this process legitimate, they will be more open to cooperation.

It is legitimate, and right now they are obstructing. Even if Pelosi did hold a vote, they would still obstruct. Because that's what people do to hide their criminality.
