On The impeachment inquire of donald trump by the US house of Representatives

This is like most other legal proceedings where you have a Grand Jury and then if warranted a Trial.

The House acts as a Grand Jury and the Senate acts as the Trial court.

So for all of you who failed you civics class………..

First you have a Grand Jury that investigates potential criminal conduct and decides if there should be charges brought. There is no defense, no right to face your accusers as you are not a criminal defendant yet. It’s simply what leads to a trial.

Grand Juries are good things that act as a foil to over zealous prosecutors who may have their own agendas. They are a necessary part of our legal proceedings and as a general rule are held behind closed doors and NOT PUBLIC. 

SO…. The congressmen who broke into the closed door testimony on Oct 23 are actually criminals and should be arrested….. If you did this to a normal Grand Jury hearing you would be in jail now.

THEN YOU HAVE A TRIAL. Where all your legal protections under the sixth amendment come into play. Your rights to hear the evidence against you and face your accusers. Your right to defend yourself and explain your actions and reasons for what happened. AND where a jury of your peers decides if you broke the law.

Its that simple folks… Congress is performing their duties under the constitution of this country you hold so dear. The president has no legal rights yet as he is not a criminal defendant yet.

That’s how the law works people even when it relates to the president.
