    Yeah.... but that lunatic Napolitano missed them all, he didn't predict any of those things.

    He instead went on and on and on spewing crazy conspiracies about Russian spies in the Oval office, collusion, treason, betrayals and similar insane gibberish that only a few deranged people in the country were buying.

    The dude is certifiable, not a serious source for serious people like you and me lol ;)

    Does anyone care to mention the rules that only committee members are allowed into the interviews when the Republicans, some of whom are on those very committees and allowed to be in the room, staged their temper tantrum outside the interview room on Wednesday?

    And what's with people expecting that the President should get to defend himself, call witnesses, and face accusers as if he's on trial, when the president is only on trial if impeachment passes the House and the Senate trial begins?

    Once more, you are absolutely fabricating his position. Get a better tactic.

    And even then, he is not facing a criminal proceeding. There is no risk of loss of liberty. As such, he is not entitled to the same Due Process rights as someone who would potentially face prison.

    And for the people who want to bitch and moan about trump not being granted the same rights as a guy facing murder charges, get over it. He is the ****ing president, can demand television time at any moment and has tens of millions of people, including the *******n justice department, at his beck and call. No one facing murder charges has that power.

    No they're not. They're blocking access to info from the hearings all house members are authorized to have access to.

    Dig your fingernails in lefties, it's not gonna help.

    A) That is false. If you can prove that the transcripts are ready and that House members are being denied access, then I will join you on your "bitch about the process" parade.

    B) Bitching about the process is all the folks of your persuasion have left. Trump sought campaign assistance from a foreign government in the form of a new investigation against his domestic political rival while he simultaneously and unilaterally held up hundreds of millions in military aid, a requested meeting, and a restoration of trade rights. He then tried to hide, lie about, and obstruct the investigation. And your best talking point when it comes to defending that behavior is "abuse of power is not a crime."

    Can they do secret Soviet style acts? Should they? Is our nation served best behind closed doors in a partisan fashion, or out in public with the light shined on the topic?

    For now, the interviews can and should remain behind closed doors. Just as they did in the start of the investigation that resulted in Clinton's impeachment. Just as they did in the start of the investigation that resulted in Nixon's resignation.

    Nap was saying goofy stuff on Sheps show.

    Tucker had a more informed guest basically pull apart Nap.

    Fox stuck with Tucker and drama llama Shep was fired.

    That comes later. There's nothing secret or Soviet about this for God's sake. These are depositions that are done in private to prevent witnesses from aligning their stories together to protect the president. The information will be released later and the president at his Senate trial should it go there will have all the chances in the world to defend himself, call witnesses, challenge evidence, and cross-examine. That's the entire point of having the Senate trial to begin with. Why would you have a House trial and then a Senate trial, and do the same things in each? That's essentially an appeal process, and that's not how impeachment works.

    Trump supporters can be so dramatic, to the point of fiction sometimes.

    Shep was not fired and if you think DiGinova is a "more informed guest," then you are off your rocker.

    No, you missed the point.... As opposed to sane people like you and me, people with functioning brain who knew from the get go that Russia Collusion was an absurd ludicrous leftist/fake news/swamp hoax, nothing more. You did know that Russia collusion was a conspiracy and a hoax from the get-go, did you not?

    Shep wasn’t fired. He initiated the negotiations to get out of his contract.

    There is no such thing as 'not enough evidence to impeach'. It can be any evidence they choose or no evidence at all. They have a plenary power to remove the President from office, period.
