Nearly all of the witnesses in the House impeachment inquiry have testified behind closed doors, drawing attention—including objections—to the process Democrats are using to explore whether to remove President Trump from office.

Inside the room, lawmakers and staff from both parties are allowed to ask questions until they run out. The depositions open with opening remarks from Mr. Schiff, who said he then invites a member of the minority to do the same. The witness also gives an opening statement.

After that, said Rep. Mark Meadows (R., N.C.), a clock starts ticking. Democrats get an hour to question the witness, followed by Republicans with the same time. Once the first two hours are up, they move to 45-minute increments. Lawmakers and staff are asking questions.

“There is a clock, with a timekeeper,” Mr. Meadows said, noting that the aide makes sure each party gets equal time.

1. Rep. Mark Meadows (R., N.C.),

Mr. Meadows is stepping out of line here, isn't he? As a republican he is contradicting the group's complaint (lie). Do we know anything about him?

2. He's a right-winger and supporter of DT. n/t

3. I heard on right wing radio this morning that republicans are completely barred from the hearings.

That claim is probably based on Gaetz being removed the other day because he wasn't on the committee. But, that is how at least some right-wing radio is reporting on these hearings.
