Will Nancy Pelosi's vote on impeachment guarantee transparency?

House Democrats announced on Tuesday that they will vote on Thursday to move forward with impeachment proceedings against President Trump.
The allegations are the same: Trump broke the law and engaged in quid pro quo corruption by withholding foreign aid from Ukraine and asking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to dig up dirt on Trump’s political rival, Joe Biden.
The situation in Congress hasn’t changed, either. The House will impeach. The Senate will not.
What could change, however, is the way the House conducts its next steps. The past month has been one of secrecy — closed-door hearings and leaked testimonies, all hidden away from the public. This was a mistake. Impeachment is a political process, and, as such, it must rely on public opinion. The public should be allowed to see what their elected officials are up to, especially when it has to do with the man they put in the White House.
