As the impeachment inquiry into President Trump moves to the House Judiciary Committee, Republicans signaled Sunday that they will mount an aggressive campaign to delegitimize the process, accusing Democrats of rushing the proceedings as the White House debates whether to participate at all.
Speaking on Fox News Sunday, Rep. Douglas A. Collins (Ga.), the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee, indicated that the GOP would continue its all-out effort to attack the Democratic-led impeachment process. But he declined to say whether Republicans would take advantage of the complete range of opportunities they will have to make their case against Trumps removal.
The remarks from Collins and other Republicans on Sunday reflected a conflict inside the GOP over the extent to which Trump and his congressional defenders ought to participate in a process they have spent more than two months attacking as unfair and corrupt.

Democrats on the Judiciary Committee said Sunday that Republicans were trying to distract from Trumps wrongdoing by raising objections to the impeachment process without challenging the facts that have been gathered.

Doesn't matter that the Senate will fail to find him guilty. He'll wear the stain of impeachment forever. The first Republican to be impeached.
