Last week found Republicans in Congress complaining loud and long that the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, along with the House Oversight and Foreign Affairs committees, all bipartisan and under the leadership of Rep. Adam Schiff, were violating the rules of the House of Representatives by interviewing witnesses about impeachment behind closed doors. They derided Schiff's hearings as a "secret impeachment."
President Trump called the hearings a hoax. When some pointed out that the initial round of government interviews of witnesses is always conducted behind closed doors to facilitate candor, Senate Republicans supported the president and condemned the House process. Nevertheless, the House rules, which were adopted in 2015, when Republicans had the majority, clearly authorize the process that Schiff, D-Calif., is utilizing.
Not to be overshadowed by their Senate counterparts in their anger over this process, about 30 House Republicans, not on the interviewing committees, physically stormed the Intelligence Committee hearing room last Wednesday morning and occupied it so as to bar the scheduled interviews. By midafternoon, they had tired of their stunt and peacefully departed.

But, here's the one line in his article that sums up his agenda. You're not going to believe what he writes. Ready?
"Congressional Republicans should be careful what they ask for. Their defense of the president has addressed process, not proof. The proof is largely undisputed, except by the president himself. It consists of admissions, testimony and documents, which show that Trump sought to induce the government of Ukraine to become involved in the 2020 presidential election.
Specifically, Trump held up $391 million in American military hardware and financial aid to Ukraine which is at war with Russia after the Russian seizure and continual occupation of what was until 2014 a Ukrainian province until Ukrainian prosecutors commenced a criminal investigation of former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter."
I can't believe, that this guy is/was a judge, and secondly they keep him on this station. You ever notice that he seldom appears on Tucker, Laura or Hannity? The man is a joke, and this article is also
I’ll judge it on whatever the Hell I choose to judge it on, “Judge”.
I make up the rules for me, not you.
The fat pole smoker should have left with Shemp. I have no use for this Trump hater.
Which Law (of the super-multitude that there are) did The Donald break?
How do you judge on merits when they wont let you see the witnesses or the evidence?
Why are Democrats hiding evidence from the American public?
They are just re-working the old bogus "it's about the seriousness of the charge".
This idiot says it’s undisputed, except by Trump. Don’t you know, he shook down the Ukrainian government.
When only one side can ask questions and other side is allowed to doctor the answers, this is not bipartisan, nor legal... "judge".
I can’t stand this guy. Glad he unwittingly helped get rid of Shemp
You’d think he’d really bore in on what the dems are doing behind closed doors, but no. He actually says they are following the rules the republicans set up.
I will judge the process by its parallels to Alice in Wonderland, 1984, and Animal Farm. So far it's a screaming success.
Can we just ignore Fudge Nappy?
He’s never right about ANYTHING.
It has no merits ...

Laughable contention. It is not to facilitate candor, it is to firm up the concocted story, strengthen the witness by preparing him for future hostile questioning, and to gather quotes that can be selectively leaked to influence public opinion.
And this lying asshat knows exactly what the closed hearings are all about.
I believe the expression “TURNCOAT” fits here!
[Judge Napolitano]
Shut up, Napolitano, you Shep Smith Eddie Munster poofter.
We judged you on your merits.
Ditto.
