to the Judicial Committee hearing?
I was of the impression that ReTHUG academic expert was an oxymoron. Get a brains morans

And we'll be subjected to endless rounds of "Respected Expert with PhDs from three Ivy League Universities and years of experience says X. Batshish crazy debunked laughing stock conspiracy theorist with a completion certificate in marketing from Trump University degree says Y. Let's spend the next half hour debating which one is right and whether the Democrats are overplaying their hand and looking like elite smarty-pants while the Republicans are connecting to the average person by going by out of their way to appeal to the lowest common denominator."

(22,143 posts)appropriate credentials and such, otherwise, the American people don't want idiots and such dirtying up this process. Impeachment is a sober process...one not undertaken often, and when it (the impeachment process) is taken up, it needs to be done in thorough and thoughtful manner, not one where you have idiots like gym jorden, Gaetz, mark meadows, or any of the other idiots who managed to fool their voters into thinking that they actually know something and actually care about them.

(38,560 posts)Or are the rules of the HOR the rule across the board? (Sorry if that seems like an ignorant question...)
The GOP is going to get their chance when this moves to the Senate.
"But the DNC did this...." (with their own money). "Joe Biden did this...." "Hunter Biden did this...." "The Obamas open their Christmas presents on Christmas Eve and not Christmas..." "Hilary Clinton looks like a lesbian..." Nothing at all excuses Mr. Trump. Nothing. But in an age when media pays attention when Kim Kardashian blows her nose...
The President of the United States withheld foreign aid (tax-payer dollars) which had been legally designated by the legislative branch of our government, for a foreign government to defend itself against an enemy. And such actions threatened the national security of the country. He did it to dig up dirt on a political opponent.
In the HOR, our job is to establish precedent. The behavior of Mr. Trump is unacceptable and it would be unacceptable no matter which person holds the office.
Problem is... NO ONE IS WATCHING. And those that are watching have already made up their minds.
