Doors and likely all this afternoon facing questions about the ouster of the u. S. Ambassador to ukraine. Meanwhile, both sides sparring over the entire process. Democrats insisting that they are obeying the regulations in this impeachment, but republicans say not so. I think that its very important to understand were not having a hearing right now, were having depositions. Were having an investigation. We are fact finding. The house rules are silent on the procedure for impeachment. When the house rules are silent, then the precedent becomes binding, and its the precedent that the democrats are ignoring.
