Article: Los Angeles Times, OCTOBER 23, 2019, ," What’s really happening inside the impeachment inquiry."
Knock yourself out. I shouldn’t have to post before people comment. Meadows, Nunes, Jordan and Zeldin are asking the questions are asking the bulk of the questions.
Gaetz is quoted saying they don’t represent every Republican."
That alone tells you the duplicity of the GOP.
No hearing can have over 400 people asking questions. If you are completely operating in the dark, his position can appeal to someone.
Imagine a criminal trial with 200 questioner/ attorneys on both sides.
THE GOP IS ACCUSING THE DEMOCRATS OF NOT PERMITTING A FARCE.

It was announced all over TV. MID NOVEMBER.
In fact they moved beyond. Now it is Bolton in November.
 
The Los Angeles Times article points it out. So I will just relay the news.
Check out the Gaetz quote especially if confused. WE HAVE SOME OF OUR BEST PEOPLE ASKING?
FARCE IS OVER!
 
Deposition (definition): **
law a testifying especially before a court was sworn in before giving his deposition


** DECLARATIONspecifically, law testimony taken down in writing under oath took depositions from the witnesses**

out-of-court testimony made under oath and recorded by an authorized officer for later use in court gave a videotaped deposition about what she witnessed also : a meeting at which such testimony is taken. -Deposition | Definition of Deposition by Merriam-Webster

This is clearly what the House Intelligence Committee, which includes Republicans, is now doing, and it is typical that this be done to collect evidence and try to keep people from coordinating their responses. The Pubs did much the same during some of the Benghazi depositions, but now that the shoe is on he other foot they’re whining. Maybe someone should toss them each a sucker.
 
I have taken well over 1000 depositions. Including by video to preserve testimony for trial and “de bene esse”
You are addressing pre-trial practice. This is a political proceeding.
That said, the Democrats are preventing a farce and the GOP is fighting to create farce. You cannot have 100 people on both sides questioning. And if they have an Impeachment hearing and trial, they will have specific questioners. The object is truth not farce
 
If you have them, pound the law and facts.
And if you don’t, pound the table.
A Complete synopsis. Lol
 
I’m going by the what the House rules on this say since this does not fit into any “trial” nor “pretrial” situation as it is not a trial, as I believe what maybe you’re saying above.

Essentially what Trump and his supporters are parroting is that the process is wrong (which it clearly isn’t) largely because as more of the evidence comes out on what Trump & Co actually were doing is very damaging to their cause. Over and over again Trump is showing contempt for the “rule of law”, thus seeing it as an impediment to what he wants to rule on. Needless to say, I don’t have to tell you how potentially dangerous this is.
 
Not only do you and I NOT know . . . . You and I CAN’T know BECAUSE you and I are not a democrat “on the hill” in certain select committees.

That’s part of WHY they are keeping this in the dark. To purposefully keep people from knowing.
I would argue that we know an awful lot about what’s going on inside the committee. People are releasing statements, testimony is being “leaked”. A leak is not a lie. A leak is simply something that is not officially released. If there is exculpatory evidence, the Republics on the committee know about it. However, they are expounding on the process, not the President’s innocence.
And the selective out-of-context democrat leaks to the press, is a mere disinformation campaign. It makes “knowing” even MORE difficult.
No, not at all. The Democrats are leaking pertinent facts. This is the fact pattern that will be coaxed out in the public hearings. No one has disputed the leaks from the committee, have they?
With the sneaky Schiff secret hearings motif, nobody knows very much.

Meanwhile much of the press is still asleep on the Bidens-Ukraine quid pro quo.
But we will. We will. Soon he has to write Articles of Impeachment. If there is something there, there is something there, if not, there’s nothing there.

As to the Biden’s, Ukraine, and any dirt you are trying to fling at them - it has absolutely nothing to do with the impeachment of the President. Just a distraction since the facts aren’t looking good for Trump.

I think it’s the other way around.

But we will see.

This will all surface, and then we will get to see first hand. Just like we did with the phony Trump-Russian-Collusion conspiracy theory that so many invested two plus years of their lifetimes pom-pom waving over.

They still believe this, though. The facts are so obvious and Barr is a hack.

If impeachment doesn’t happen or half the intelligence community goes aways in handcuffs they will be crying the same conspiracy.

You mean volume 1 of the Mueller report that concluded that collusion could not be proven, in part because Don Jr lacked the awareness to prove intent?
 
Jon, do you really not understand the process?
Oh, yes. I do understand the Schiff process.
These hearings are in secret so that, like in a Grand Jury investigation, witnesses that may be called don’t know what other witnesses have said. But what does secret mean? Well, there are a good number of Republicans hearing testimony and answering questions. Do you think YOU should know?
It isn’t a grand jury, and no vote for an impeachment inquiry has occurred. By the way, was Clinton’s lawyer allowed in the hearings? How about Nixon’s?
Of course I think I should know.

Whereas Clinton’s campaign had overt intent, paid for it in fact, of collusion with Russians through FusionGPS.
 
The difference here is that the questioning is being done not just by committee lawyers but but with all committee members present and alllowed to ask questions without limit.
The difference here is there is no formal impeachment inquiry. The difference is Nixon’s and Clinton’s lawyers were present
