So the well known fact that Schiff is running interference to which questions he will allow and stops witnesses from answering certain others, will in no way carve the picture he's looking for.

Would you point to Schiff and tell your grandchildren that Schiff is a prime example of what t***h and justice looks like?

The argument about secret hearings made no sense from the start. We knew from the beginning that while Democrats ran the committees because they are the majority, the Republicans represented a sizable minority on those same committees.

Reminds me of the old saying 'who you gonna believe, me or your lyin' eyes'.

True 'nuf, WCS. Plus, the rules of the impeachment inquiry are following those set forth by the GOP from previous inquiries and impeachment. Quite frankly, they are often being seen as more favorable to the executive branch.

I have no qualms in agreeing with you.

You believe Schiff has acted favorable to Trump?

I will stand up and actually answer your question, and not with a question.

Only the good things that President Trump has done and is doing should be acknowledged as proper by anyone.

Schiff is a dirty cop and everyone knows that fact.

Just some would stand down and let things happen to others, that they would vehemently oppose done to themselves.

As favorably or more so than previous impeachments or hearings.

Very cherry picked per your usual. Republicans were at the hearings. Yes. Given access to question witnesses, no. They are still not going to be able to subpoena and call witnesses that Schiff doesn’t approve of. This entire process needs light. It is not in place to remove Trump. It’s obvious he didn’t commit a crime. It is being used to damaged Trump before the next e******n. We shall see.

I agree with the ineptitude of the bungled fiasco called the "B******i Hearings"

What I have failed to do is...get you to answer specifically..is Adam Schiff a man of integrity and fairness?..

Schiff specifically!

My first response was to point out the hypocrisy of partisan politics. And, although you failed to recognize or acknowledge it, I answered your initial question within my response to Rose42. Yet, insofar as Schiff's being quite similar to all other (partisan) representatives in Congress...not so much.

Cherry picked? No.

If there is a problem with 'process', then it would be good to remind yourself who set up the rules for holding these types of hearings. Whether those rules need (re-) changing could be up for debate. That's a different and perhaps necessary debate.
