Even impeachment ‘rehearsal’ hearings won’t help Dems

Democrats must have learned from the disastrous public hearings they’ve held in their attempt to impeach President Trump: Now, apparently, their witnesses must audition first behind closed doors before they go live before the TV cameras.

That was the case with the Dems’ “star” witnesses, US Chargé d’Affaires for Ukraine Bill Taylor and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State George Kent, who testified behind closed doors before appearing for Wednesday’s televised impeachment show. And for former US Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, who debuts on the small screen Friday.

We’ll get more hearsay testimony from Democrat witnesses today.

If they don’t have more than that, time to put this impeachment circus out of its misery.

I dunno.

Why interrupt the enemy when they’re destroying themselves?

Each day that goes by that looks MORE ridiculous than the previous one makes more and more independents think the left has lost its mind.

The secret hearings were rehearsals for their “witnesses”. It also was used to find our what questions the Repiblicans would so they would be ready for the show.

You know? Maybe these hearings would be more popular if, at the end of the witnesses’ testimony, they’d release the outtakes of the auditions. People love those things.
