Also, the Clinton impeachment reso was written & passed in a bipartisan manner. This is a stark contrast to yesterday’s “impeachment inquiry” reso dropped 24 hrs before being voted on & the only bipartisan vote it received was AGAINST it.
Perhaps it’s because this new resolution does not ensure:
Minority subpoena power;
Release of the transcripts;
Equal staffing between parties;
Counsel for the President and the ability for them to question witnesses and present evidence.
Minority subpoena power;
Release of the transcripts;

In fact, all of these decisions are left to Schiff who – under this partisan reso – has the power to veto whatever he wants. He already has the authority to release the transcripts & ensure due process, which he’s not doing. What makes us think he’s going to change going forward?
President Clinton had the right to have counsel present to review docs provided to the committees, cross examine witnesses & fully participate in committee hearings. It was also easier for the minority to subpoena witnesses & docs.
