[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like Taylor's testimony is it.  He has “remembered some things that previous witnesses somehow failed to remember.”

And this is why the depositions are behind closed doors and why the transcripts have not yet been released.  [/quote]

So it can’t be challenged or heard? Yes we get that....[/quote]

Both Republicans and Democrats are on these committees, hearing the testimony and asking questions.

Do you get that?[/quote]

From USA Today:

Republicans have complained that the meetings should be public and transcripts should be released. Access has been limited to members of the three panels, which prevented one Republican from attending Monday and the half-dozen Wednesday. Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said private sessions are needed to prevent witnesses from hearing each other, the same protocol used by prosecutors in criminal investigations.[/quote]

Them's the rules.

The January 2019 House rules clearly spell out that only committee members may attend the closed door sessions, but there are Rs and Ds on the committees.

Complain away.  Then you look like a bunch of complainers, instead of patriots.  [/quote]

The American people, and that includes other members of congress, deserve to hear the testimony if you have plans to remove a duly elected President. If Schiff has to defend the private sessions by stating what he did above, then those aren’t THE rules, those are Schiff’s ‘rules’.

You sound like someone who, when the Barr report comes out, will scream “it’s not TRUE!! He LIES”.  [/quote]

And the American people will. This is like the Grand Jury phase. When the committees are done with their work, if the facts lead to it, there will be a formal vote, then open hearings and then a vote to adopt articles of impeachment that would be sent to the Senate.

In the meantime, you are complaining about the exact same rules established by Speaker Ryan, that have been in effect for several years. These are not "Pelosi" rules or "Schiff" rules. Maybe next time the GOP is in charge, it will adopt rules that better share power with the minority?[/quote]

I don't believe that for a minute. This is a repeat of the Mueller investigation, i.e. "don't you WANT it to be investigated? It takes TIME". And lots of cries of "He will be JAILED due to Mueller's findings."  Nope. Didn't happen. The goal here is to draw out the process without votes so that Dems don't have to go on record. [/quote]
Pathetic.[/quote]
