It's a political initiative whose purpose is to make Trump look bad, that's for sure. But there is nothing new in that. Congress does it all the time.
...without giving him the ability to respond.
I admit I haven't been following closely but I seem to remember that Trump's side has had every opportunity to respond. Some did - I think all of Trump's kids have testified - but most have refused to appear. I can't say I blame them but they did have the chance.
“I admit I haven’t been following closely but I seem to remember that Trump’s side has had every opportunity to respond.”
Of course you haven’t followed and your ignorance shows. First, by house rules the committee is supposed to have an equal amount of Republicans / Democrats. They formed the committee illegally by rejecting all the republicans that where submitted. There is not one person on the committee that isn’t a Trump hater or would request rebuttal witnesses. The political prisoners are still rotting in jail because of this.
Then they found two Trump hating republicans so they can say that the committee is bi-partisan. You comments about Trump side defending itself to the Trump hating bias committee is laughable. They have buried all exculpatory evidence. Thousands of hours of videos are secluded and hidden from the public. Videos have been doctored. Evidence against Trump is selectively edited to show in the worse light.
Lying to the public with impunity is unchallenged in the press. This is a one-sided political witch hunt. And no, there is not one committee in congress formed or created this way.
This is not only an attack on Trump, but all conservatives (excluding you of course).
“Trump’s side has had every opportunity to respond. “
You realize that in these types of hearings each member is allotted time to “question” (berate) each witness.
This “un-select committee is made up of all Democrats except for Trump HATING Republicans Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.
How “FAIR” and “UNBIASED” would the questioning be?
Trump DID just respond. Didn’t you read it?
Everything you say is biased junk.
And everyone knows it.
