    Hillary Clinton showed up and testified for 11 hours, that’s what you do when you have nothing to hide.

    Tell us about that strict party line thing, will you?
    9 Republicans--including the two RINO's on the "select committee"--voted in favor of it. I'm betting the other 7 are some of the most liberal in the GOP.

    Looking through the list, 7 of nine voted to impeach Trump. An 8th, introduced legislation to censure Trump as an alternative to impeachment. So, I was correct. The ones voting for this are already predisposed to be against Trump and anything Trump related.

    What is Bannon afraid of? It could be all over in one day.

    I think it'll make zero difference. The whole House investigation is just a repeat of the previous investigations by the Senate, etc. If I was in Bannon's position and of the same mindset, I'd walk in, sit down, and take the 5th like Lois Learner did (without the invalidating speech before doing so) and walk out. That's the end of that. No criminal persecution is possible then and the committee is fucked getting anything from me.

    I showed up, refused to answer any questions, and left. End of interview.

    Dumbfuck Gardner: “It will be strictly party-line and that tells you everything you need to know...”

    Obviously, you didn’t, and still don’t know shit. But, you continually prove that anyway.

    Yet Bannon is too scared to do that. He must know how guilty he is.

    It was pretty much just that and the vote does tell you all you need to know.

    Or maybe you are projecting. I don't know what Bannon and his lawyer(s) discussed about testifying, you don't either. I seriously doubt he decided not to show up without having advice of council.

    What’s to hair split, dumbfuck? You went from “strictly” to “pretty much”. English is difficult for you, isn’t it?
