Historic

The House of Representatives moved another important big step forward yesterday toward impeaching Donald Trump by approving guidelines for public hearings and release of witness testimony from closed-door hearings (details here and here).

Ever since the impeachment inquiry began, Republicans have complained the process has been in secret. So when a vote comes before the House to end that secrecy, House Republicans unanimously voted against it. Talk about hypocrisy.

And they will soon rue the day they wished for everything to be transparent and public, when more than a dozen witness transcripts are released, directly linking Trump to illegal abuses of power. And then they will go from bad to much worse when witness after witness publicly testifies on live television about the most corrupt President in American history.

Buckle up and stay tuned.
