Both Democratic Judiciary Committee Chairman Peter Rodino in 1973 and Republican Judicial Committee Chairman Henry Hyde in 1998 set a standard for fairness and operated with a judicial temperament of seeking the truth rather than maximizing partisan advantage.
In 1973, Rodino set the gold standard for fairness. The rights of the minority were protected. The American people’s right to know what was going on was protected.
Chairman Rodino himself set a standard for fairness and seriousness as a congressman exercising constitutional oversight.

Democratic leader Dick Gephardt and I held a joint press conference announcing that we had agreed the entire report should be published so the American people could make up their own minds.

There are Kurds and there are Kurds.
Exactly!!!
The “better” ones should have their own territory; let them be the PITA. Supply them? I guess. Support them? As minimally as possible. But the “better” ones should have their own piece of sidewalk...and be the sorta deterrent for that region.
“Here’s the keys to the car. It’s ALL yours now.”
There is no impeachable offense, which is why there is no legitimate process.
People after Dave Robert’s head.
