Last paragraph of this excellent article:
On Thursday, Democrats plan a House vote on new impeachment-inquiry rules that would give Republicans for the first time the ability to call their own witnesses. Only, their requests must first be approved by the Democrats. So there is a good chance the whistleblower, perhaps the most important witness of all, will remain protected from critical examination.
Somebody tell me how this vote changes anything. The Repubs get no additional rights or privileges do they? Yes, they can call their own witnesses, bur the rats must approve the request. This is the craziest thing I've ever heard of.
