I see you're not really interested in discussing things like an adult or even interested in justice of fairness. Your TV told you to hate Trump and that's enough for you isn't it, Androidpk?

I think you're confusing comeuppance with precedent established during the last impeachment and I'm entirely comfortable with the chair of a committee or subcommittee directing a witness to not answer a question which could be harmful to the anonymity of the whistleblower until that person authorizes the release.

Do you have a source you can share that states during the last impeachment inquiry the Democrats could only call witnesses that the Republicans approved of? Oh right, you don't do sources.

What the hell are you talking about? This is all happening behind closed doors. So happening in secret is good because us mere mortals don't deserve to know what's going on, and at the same time happening in secret doesn't allow witnesses to speak openly? Huh? What?

The resolution authorizing the Clinton impeachment states exactly that.

Because you ignorant twat, Steve Scalise laid out exactly why he believes Schiff thwarted the minority member from asking his question. The question for the record, asked Vindman to name who he shared information from the Ukrainian call with in a poorly guised attempt to learn the identity of the whistleblower. Schiff did not allow it because it would reveal the identity of the complaintant before they authorized disclosure.

As always you spout sensationalist claims from your right wing conspiracy mongers without having the slightest clue as to fact.

House rule (Rule XI, clause
2(j)(1)) defines the narrow ability of the minority to request witnesses to appear and give testimony during a committee hearing.

That's a lot of shit to read. Since you apparently know where it states this can you just copy and paste it? Thanks.

Look who finally got around to actually reading up about the "unattributed rumors", and of course your first source is apparently CNN or MSNBC. Why am I not surprised?

I'm sorry that your reading ability is so poor you're reading The Federalist as another news outlet, but quite frankly I'm embarrassed by your poor attempt at spin.

That's what you chose to link to because you knew I would laugh if you linked to CNN. Your "he had no choice but to tell the witness not to answer that question in order to protect the whistleblower!" is bullshit you got directly from CNN or MSNBC.

Are you Androidpk? You act exactly like him other than not getting into a fit of rage and threatening people every time they say something you don't like. Maybe this is your more even tempered persona?

Yes, Seran is PK.
