All month long, I kept an eye on the Senate Committee calendar. Never once was a committee hearing scheduled. It should have been on the schedule even if the hearing was a closed session and behind closed doors. But no meeting was ever scheduled. Any meetings they had, they held in secret.
Come June 20, the Senate was scheduled to meet at 11 am. They met, discussed a bill and a resolution, then gaveled to recess until 1 pm. They came back at 1 pm and immediately gaveled back to recess until 6 pm. It was assumed at that point the entire Senate body was debating the rules behind closed doors.
When they returned at 6 pm, they called another recess until 9 pm. Then, at 9 pm, they called a recess until today.
June 20 came and went, and there were no impeachment rules.
