5. House just laid out the rules for the process...as is their prerogative to do

Most of the Republican requests for witnesses will be ignored by the commitee as irrelevant, as is their prerogative to do. They will of course badger the witnesses that are actually relevant to the investigation. Then we'll see whether the Chairman is able to control the hearings. Trump et al. has forfeited legal representation at the hearings by refusing to cooperate with the investigation and commanding witnesses not to appear before the Committee, as per the rules for the process laid out by the House...again as is their prerogative to do.
