Interesting you don't actually quote the rule.
interesting that you are unable to show where Judge Napolitano said something that was factually incorrect.
However, no impeachment was ever conducted this way.
and this one is, and is being held consistent with the rules.
We know why they are doing it this way, of course.
yes to prevent other witnesses from altering their testimony in response to previous witnesses. The grand jury portion of a trial is always held behind closed doors.

It's a Star Chamber attempt to get something on Trump and that's why the other Republicans wanted in.
the other republicans are idiots. There are republicans on the three committees holding the hearings, they can tell the other republicans what's going on if they wish to.

Re: It really is simple Faith. Simpler than you think, jar
OK jar, what rules are you talking about?
the rules that govern how congress operates
https://www.govinfo.gov/...ICE-115/pdf/GPO-HPRACTICE-115.pdf
What do they have to do with impeachment?
they govern how the committees that are currently conducting the impeachment inquiry operate.

Re: It really is simple Faith. Simpler than you think, jar
fine I retract my claim that the actions of the impeachment inquiry are within the rules, now it is your turn to substantiate your claim that they are against the rules. i want the specific rules they are breaking.

Re: It really is simple Faith. Simpler than you think, jar
If they are doing an impeachment inquiry, which seems to be the case, it needs to include the entire House and not be some closed-door private meeting where a few get to interview some witnesses and the rest of the House doesn't get to cross examine them.
The committees conducting the inquiry have republicans on them
but this seems to be nothing but a thinly rationalized way to deny the President or his lawyers any rights in the proceedings at all.
he'll get those when the actual trial starts. We're still in the evidence gathering portion of the process,

Re: It really is simple Faith. Simpler than you think, jar
The Constitution assigns impeachment to the House of Representatives. Not to SOME of the House of Representatives but ALL of the House of Representatives.
where does the Constitution layout the rules for conducting an impeachment? be specific.
This little meeting is called an impeachment inquiry.
right, an inquiry, not the actual impeachment.
Nixon's impeachment began with the formation of an impeachment inquiry by the House Judiciary Committee, was that unconstitutional as well?

Re: It really is simple Faith. Simpler than you think, jar
I can't be any more specific than that the Constitution says it is the House that does the impeaching.
so no rules are being broken by having impeachment inquiries before the House vote on impeachment.
There are other nonspecific rules tht aren't being followed, such as giving due process and other rights to the defendant.
where are these rules written down?

Re: It really is simple Faith. Simpler than you think, jar
before they had this supposed closed door meeting, which apparently wasn't even publicly known
why would it need to be publicly known? it was a closed door hearing, those who needed to know about it knew about it.
And now I see that apparently the Republican sit-n may have had an effect because they are in fact anncouncing an impeachment vote for Thursday allowing for an actual trial with due process for the President's side. Finally.
how many times do you have to be reminded that the trial happens in the senate. The Democrats in the house can do whatever they want, once it gets to the senate the republicans are in control of the process.

Re: It really is simple Faith. Simpler than you think, jar
and those congressmen were incapable of asking the other republicans on the committees what was going on? You do know that the Democrats aren't the only ones on the committees right?
