WASHINGTON — Speaker Nancy Pelosi's patience has been rewarded.

With the impeachment script fully flipping this week, it's Pelosi who wants Americans to watch every turn of the trial of President Donald Trump, and Republicans who have abruptly stopped calling for more transparency.

"They want transparency like a hole in the head, for crying out loud," said Rep. Bill Pascrell, D-N.J. "Transparency is not going to help them."

It's a lot easier for even most of the swing-district Democrats to say the president should have to answer for his actions after weeks of testimony in which current and former administration officials have described a wide-ranging effort by the Trump team to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to open an investigation into a political opponent — former Vice President Joe Biden.

The shift led Pelosi and top lieutenants to announce Tuesday that they would move forward with a floor vote this week to formally set the rules for a series of public House Intelligence Committee hearings that are expected to give more attention to what lawmakers have been hearing in private about Trump's use of his power.

"With every new witness we get further detail corroborating the basic story," said Rep. Tom Malinowski, D-N.J., a former State Department official who has participated in the hearings in a secure facility deep beneath the Capitol complex. "With every witness it becomes harder to deny the facts and harder to defend the president's conduct."

1. Lock 'em up. The whole miserable trump-apologistic lot of 'em.

I want such a house-cleaning as has been seldom seen.

I want such majorities of Democrats taking over in BOTH chambers that it’ll take at least a couple of generations for even the slightest version of a “Republican” party to recover.

Same for state governments! I want ALL GOP gone! Retired! Voted OUT!!! I’ll settle for vast majority if not actually all of ‘em.

Like Reagan’s “Kitchen Cabinet” (read: unofficial and off-the-books) member Justin Dart, a multi-millionaire industrialist who said we should have to keep only 100 acres of redwoods - “for the kids.” That’s what I want for the GOP. Just keep a few of ‘em. For the kids (to gawk at and throw peanuts to, through the cage bars).

3. Bravo, Nancy! The time is now right, it's clear the GOP is dead set against impeachment.
