Why hasn't the FBI taken the 24 Republican Congressmen into custody?

If that were so, Republicans would be leaking it. They aren't. Also, if they are going to use these witnesses in an impeachment trial in the Senate then the testimony will have to be public. Also, Democrats are going to have public testimony after the initial depositions, and they have even committed to releasing transcripts of the private testimony. Thankfully, your fantasy world is going to have meet reality when the public phase of the inquiry starts.

Why has Trump continually claimed that he didn't collude with Russia as Russia interfered in our elections? If there is nothing wrong with it, why did they fight those charges?With Ukraine, Trump did the very thing he claimed he didn't do with Russia. Trump asked Ukraine to dig up dirt on his political rivals which is interfering in our elections. What power have they been abusing?

Where in due process does the suspect get to be present during the police investigation or the grand jury testimony? Trump will have those same privileges when there is a trial in the Senate. I strongly encourage you to learn how our justice system works.

You just described the Benghazi hearings. This investigation went on for years, with a lot of testimony behind closed doors. This was run by Republicans who were hoping to fish out impeachable offenses against Obama, but they didn't impeach and never filed a single referral for indictment. In fact, the House rules being used by Democrats right now were crafted by Republicans in their failed impeachment campaign against Obama.The hypocrisy is overpowering.

You just described the Benghazi hearings. Why? Democrats had been planning this from the start. There was always going to be public testimony prior to an impeachment vote. There will also be a trial in the Senate if impeachment passes the House, and in that trial the President will be allowed to cross-examine and face his accusers. That's due process.

12 of those Congressmen were already allowed to be in those hearings, so why did they have to make a big show of it? There were more than 40 Republicans allowed in those hearings, and they had equal time to question witnesses. Democrats are following the rules the Republicans put in place in 2015.

Really?

In a 15-page opening statement, obtained by The Washington Post, Taylor repeatedly expressed his shock and bewilderment as he watched U.S. policy toward Ukraine get overtaken by Trump’s demand that newly elected president Volodymyr Zelensky go to a microphone and say he is opening investigations of [Democratic presidential candidate Joe] Biden and 2016 election interference.

​

‘Everything’ was dependent on such an announcement, including security assistance, Taylor said he was told by Gordon Sondland, U.S. ambassador to the European Union.

There has already been one State Department official who has sworn under oath that there was a quid pro quo of aid and support for an announcement of investigations against Biden. How fast do you think this should go? It hasn't even been two months.

Lol. This is what we mean by Republicans being unable to address the facts. Smearing the witness does not make the facts go away.

The real question is if you will give Trump a pass even if all of these charges are corroborated. Do you think a president should be removed from office if they use tax payer dollars to get personal benefits from a foreign power? If Hillary had withheld aid from Ukraine to get dirt on Republican opponents, would you be calling for her to be removed from office?

What if it does pan out this time? Would you still give Trump a pass? That's not what I asked. If any hypothetical president used tax payer dollars to get personal benefits from a foreign power would you support their removal from office?

Why can't you answer the question?If the evidence pans out and Trump did in fact do what the Democrats have accused him of, will you give Trump a pass? Yes or no?

You don't want to admit that you don't care if Trump is corrupt and is abusing his office.

They have witnesses who are saying that there was a quid pro quo of money for investigations into Biden. This isn't a hypothetical. House Republicans have no right to due process because they are not being tried in a trial. House Republicans are not being charged with a crime.You really need to learn what due process is. Not hypothetically what due process is, but what it actually is. No one has the right to have their lawyers question witnesses as investigators are questioning those witnesses. No one has a right to face their accusers in a grand jury trial. That's not how due process works. That's what they are doing right now, getting the evidence to determine if there were impeachable offenses. Do you think due process means the police can't investigate anything until there is an indictment? You have the process entirely backwards. They will announce them once they feel they have gathered all of the evidence.

Denial isn't just a river in Egypt. See above. They are named, under oath, and on the record. You are doing exactly what you are accusing Democrats of doing. Irony much?
