(26,168 posts)22. What utter BS now about right to counsel and cross examination
The House had no recourse to a special investigator, and so had to do its own investigations. Witnesses were deposed behind closed doors to keep them from lining up their stories. Both parties were allowed to be present as members of appropriate committees, and the witnesses all had access to counsel. Of course the president was excluded. This was not the time for any of the other BS he's talking about and this earnest little jackhole knows that.
Blatant lies like this ought to get you censured for ethics violations at the very least.
[and again, the main argument is just, 'unfair!!']

Wow! The law part is just as limp if not limper than the constitutional stuff.

Thankfully I don't think CSPAN2 put up any pic of Scalia when the name came up earlier.

This level of projection is actually making the Democrats' case in some spots.
