Not long ago, House Republicans complained that Democrats imposed excessive secrecy on interviews conducted as part of the drive to impeach President Trump. Now, the situation appears to have gotten worse.
The recent interview of Marie Yovanovitch, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, marked a new point -- a low point, as Republicans see it -- in Democratic efforts to keep impeachment information out of public view.
In this way: The two previous impeachment interviews -- with former ambassador to the European Union Kurt Volker and intelligence community inspector general Michael Atkinson -- were conducted in the format of what is known as a transcribed interview. Rep. Adam Schiff, who is running the Democratic impeachment effort, decreed that transcripts not be released to the public. At the same time, there were no heavily restrictive rules on what would happen should any member of Congress, acting from memory, reveal things that were said in the interview.

It looks like I'm going to have to step in & fix things.I rarely intervene,but I must.
ReplyDeleteActually, nothing to see hear. This is all a charade to attempt to turn voters away from Trump, Trump should let the fools continue to flail but he just can't help opening his mouth to retaliate which shows more often than not he is his own worst enemy.
