Truly pathetic all your conspiracies against Trump,and him as pure as a virgin being exploited by his own government and his own people, poor little pathetic victim, right, tell me when are you all going to stop playing that violin and same old whiny song, he’s guilty as sin from beginning to end, but you’ll protect this t*****r to the end and I imagine will try and skuttle the impeachment hearing just as MacConnell has threatened, going against the constitutional process. Shameful

Yes, you are shameful.

The FACTS I posted are not conspiracies nor are they the sound of a violin, so I'll post them again and maybe with a second shot at it you can get it past the dense wall of your skull.

Eric Ciaramella, the CIA analyst who focused on Ukraine and Russia (he speaks Russian, Ukrainian and Arabic), was detailed in 2015 to the NSC where he worked under Obama's NSA, Susan Rice. Now that we know Ciaramella is Schiff's g***med whistleblower, isn't it interesting that he is cited in a key passage of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report?

This tells us that Claramella was inside this covert operation well before president Trump's phone call with president Zelensky.

Since this is all crap, McConnell could shut it down.

Then why has your party keep it behind closed doors

I want Trump to televise the h*****gs of the treasonous demorats. Don't hide anything. The more open we are about this, the better and stronger we will be. It may have taken a "village" to raise these scoundrels but it will take just 1 good strong leader to show their criminality. Expose and show all these demonic dems for what they truly are!!

You aren't the only one.

No better deterrent than seeing the consequences of someone's actions.

Ever hear the saying you are judged by your company? Let's see, why wouldn't I want to be associated with a soviet style impeachment inquiry? Got it, because this is America!!! And the whole thing is a h**x which has allowed the UN or more specifically Mitt Romney, John Brennan and a guy from Burisma to start a UN compound in Utah. Dave Hodges did warn about that, but it hasn't gotten close enough for me to do anything about it. Are you ready for a body bag?

Tug484

Mitt Romney is involved in some Ukraine scandal too, but I didn't know about the UN compound.
I can't believe Utah even v**ed for him.

Big Kahuna

Totally agree Tug484.

For the same reason that the Republicans had closed hearing on B******i.
There was possible sensitive infomation being discussed, two
according to the house rules that were approved by the Republicans when they changed the subpoena requirements in 2015. This below came from page 18 of the House Rules document when Republicans v**ed a change to subpoena requirements. Pease note what is in parentheses. All meetings other than committee on Ethics are to be in the open. Since the impeachment is based on presumed ethical practices the meetings can be held in private. Then the other option for closed meeting is when the infomation that comes out may endanger national security, would compromise sensitive law enforcement information, would tend to defame, degrade, or incriminate any person, or otherwise would violate a law or rule of the House.

Open meetings and hearings
(g)(1) Each meeting for the t***saction of business, including the mark-
up of legislation, by a standing committee or subcommittee thereof (other
than the Committee on Ethics or its subcommittees) shall be open to the
public, including to radio, television, and still photography coverage, except
when the committee or subcommittee, in open session and with a majority
present, determines by record v**e that all or part of the remainder of the
meeting on that day shall be in executive session because disclosure of mat-
ters to be considered would endanger national security, would compromise
sensitive law enforcement information, would tend to defame, degrade, or in-
criminate any person, or otherwise would violate a law or rule of the
House. Persons, other than members of the committee and such noncommittee Members, Delegates, Resident Commis-
sioner, congressional staff, or departmental representatives as the com-
mittee may authorize, may not be present at a business or markup ses-
sion that is held in executive session. This subparagraph does not apply to
open committee hearings, which are governed by clause 4(a)(1) of rule X or
by subparagraph (2). (2)(A) Each hearing conducted by a committee or subcommittee (other than the Committee on Ethics or its
subcommittees) shall be open to the public, including to radio, television,
and still photography coverage, except when the committee or subcommittee, in open session and with a majority present, determines by record v**e that all or part of the remainder of that hearing on that day shall be closed to the public because disclosure sensitive law enforcement information, or would violate a clause
clause 2(k)(5); or
(ii) agree to close the hearing as
provided in clause 2(k)(5).
