Nice deflect, yeah just one little change. And oh how they are angry about it now.

Sorry Japhy, but DC, like Trump and other "conservative" republicans, has no interest in debating "the facts". So either stick to "procedures and process", or take it to the "lulz" thread.

2015:

Democratic lawmakers are harshly criticizing House Republicans for altering committee rules governing how chairmen can subpoena witnesses and documents.

In a letter shared with POLITICO, the Democrats slams the GOP conference for changing rules on a number of House committees to make it easier for Republicans to subpoena witnesses without consultation or approval from minority lawmakers - an effort that came as Republicans are preparing aggressive oversight efforts for President Barack Obama’s final two years in office...

“For decades, responsible committee chairmen—both Democratic and Republican—recognized that the coercive power of subpoenas should be used only as a last resort, and they obtained the concurrence of the ranking member or called a committee vote before issuing subpoenas,” the lawmakers wrote on Tuesday.

Recently Cummings has sparred with Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), the chairman of the House’s Benghazi Committee over how the GOP lawmakers governing the panel failed to include Democrats in key interviews with witnesses...

At the time, Republican defended the rule change as necessary to effectively investigate the Obama administration...

But, but, but... BRIT HUME and FACTS!

Facts are just bits of information waiting to be cherry picked so that their meaning can be reinterpreted to that show the opposite of what was intended. And then Brit will be correct, in a "if you squint your eyes and only look at it with your peripheral vision, not straight on" kinda way.

Wait for it, the cherry picking will begin soon.

The saddest part of all this is that we will have to wait until the Senate takes up impeachment before the trumpublicans can bring in Candice Owens to explain to us all how quid pro quo is just a hoax propagated by the liberal media.

Jeez....why single our her?

She's far from the worst republican out there.

Anyway. What I said was: I'll debate facts, happily.

But process matters too.

But, but, but... BRIT HUME and FACTS!

You know that's actually EXACTLY what Hume/Boehner said, right?

Republicans really do have no shame:

The White House is fighting fiercely to require that McGahn testify behind closed doors ... while berating Democrats for holding closed-door hearings with other impeachment witnesses.

Who do you believe, Putin or tiny? Tough choice right?

Fake news of the year?

[twocoach]

They should have McGahn testify in open court live on CSPAN. Shit, let Fox have it. Maybe The Base would actually believe it if they saw it. You want transparent? You freaking got it.

Although Trump and his enablers have worked ardently to normalize his and their despicable behavior, to hear this list all at once, no matter how closely you watch the news, is still stunning. But what's really stunning is, this is only the tip of the iceberg:

NPR had a thing on this last night. Seems she recanted her story and said it did not happen. Prosecutors blocked a retrial. So, without having all the specifics, maybe this isn't such a bad thing.

Bevin is still a baby ruth bar in the punchbowl of life.

If true, I figured Trump would ask Hood if he wants to campaign with him in 2020.
