House Democrats to mine intel to build Trump impeachment case
Democrats are using the House Intelligence Committee in an unprecedented way as they consider whether to remove the president.

Allowing Democrats to serve on the Intelligence Committee is kind of like putting Quakers in charge of the Army.
