Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsShould Democrats speed up the Impeachment investigation?
Should they go into public testimony?
Or should they just be patient and interview all these witnesses that are volunteering to come in without subpoenas or court battle?
Would it be better to have the investigation over with by Thanksgiving? Or Christmas? Might it make a good Christmas present for law-abiding citizens?
Democrats should keep the pressure on Trump and the Republicans, in my opinion. It is wrong to inform Russia but not inform Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff. (We don't know if he notified McConnell or McCarthy) It is an abuse of power to tell no one... except Russia.
If Republicans think the Democrats are going to end their investigation on Thanksgiving, they will attempt to run out the clock.
The Democrats have said there is no "time table" on this impeachment investigation. Perhaps they need to make another public statement to that fact?

(16,786 posts)The more patience and determination Adam Schiff shows, the more restless the Republicans will get. As more of the truth gets out, Republicans will begin to eventually abandon the Trumptanic. For they know their Congressional fate is tied to Trump.
Trump will continue to trip over his tongue and slip up. He will continue to tweet and that will be used against him.

(2,315 posts)Fact gathering should be over when it is over. Yes, the sooner the better, but this investigation should not be hampered by artificial deadlines. The more tRump and friends obstruct, the deeper the House should dig.

(37,748 posts)We've only had three weeks of closed-door testimony and depositions.
Relative to many same-scale investigations, this one appears to be moving along with great rapidity.

(111,107 posts)It will be fair.
Democrats already have a number of witnesses to call or recall.
Who would Trump call as a witness? Rudy Giuliani?
