Leadership of the impeachment hearings will not get involved in rope-a-dope tactics from Trump's WH. And if anyone is curious about Mick Mulvaney's knowledge of Trump's shakedown of Ukraine's new president, they can re-play Mulvaney's presser (Oct 18, 2019). Anyone who reads the testimony of key witnesses who appeared behind closed doors both Repubs and Dems attended knows there is more than enough evidence to show Trump tried to shakedown the president of Ukraine to "investigate" the Bidens if Ukraine was to receive the money approved by Congress to defend against Russia's invasion.
After clamoring for the House impeachment hearings that Repub and Dem pols participated in should be open to the public, the Repubs will get what they wanted beginning this Wednesday - be careful what you wish for!
