RGS, in Clinton's impeachment it was a special prosecutor with a grand jury, that did the depositions of witnesses, KEN STARR..... remember? Then the Starr report was all turned over to the House, and this is what they used. The DOJ/Barr refused to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the alleged crimes of the president done in the Ukraine, so the House had to do the best they could, all on their own, with a DOJ acting as the president's personal law team instead of the USA's...
That is no excuse for the House not doing it’s job because they were in a hurry to go on vacation.
Nostra....are you Italian descent? Nostra, as in La Cosa Nostra?
The House could have waited the 3 weeks, and done it after their break.... nothing was going to be done till after break regardless of doing it before or after the break...so yea, they could have waited till after break....
BUT KNOW, that the House had enough evidence to convict when they voted to impeach him.
The Senate was not likely to convict just on a partisan basis...which they had to be aware of that...
THE NEW, additional, and first hand EVIDENCE that came out after the impeachment, they were completely unaware of it even having the opportunity of coming out at the time of the impeachment.... it just fell in their lap!
This new first hand witnesses and document emails that got released through court orders afterwards, and Bolton's leaked book,
it truly would have given a real shot at the 20 Senators voting with the Dems to remove him from office.... not a guarantee, but a real shot at it even with the blind partisanship... because it's pretty damning first hand evidence... we the people would have seen it nation wide, on tv, which would have made it harder for the Republican senators to all walk
the Lock Step fox trot, that they so easily had walked....
