@mystery-ak@Cyber LibertyThe Republicans on the committees are there when they meet. This is not a trial with both sides presenting their case - it is an
investigation only. When the investigation is finished (will be soon I think because they want this over before January), the evidence is given to the entire House for discussion, rebuke, etc., both Democrats and Republicans can say/report anything they want. Then a vote will be taken to
impeach or not (indict or not). If he is impeached (indicted), the
trial is in the Senate with both sides presenting witnesses, evidence, etc. This is the way this process works. One may not like the process but it is what it is as written in the US Constitution.
Clinton: Happened just this way when an investigation was done, believe it was the House Judiciary Committee leading this investigation; the House was presented with the evidence, and impeached Clinton and had the trial in the Senate and he was not convicted and removed from office; he completed his term as president. Happened this way for Nixon but he resigned to avoid being removed from office when his congress Republicans told him, he would be impeached, convicted, removed from office because the Republicans would vote with the Democrats to remove him from office.
