"There have so far been two hearings in the House Democrats' effort to impeach President Trump over the Ukraine matter.
Both have been held in secret.
One was Thursday, the other Friday, and the public does not know what was said in either.

"Thus the panicked clamor coursing through the press at present is not about Joe Biden or his son or Trump’s alleged commerce with foreign powers.
Rather, it is the fear that the Russiagate bubble is likely to burst.

And the fear that none of the reporters, intelligence officials, and political operatives responsible for pushing the largest and most destructive conspiracy theory in American history will escape the ruin."

"First, they lack the evidence to make an impeachment case beyond their base.
For most Americans, the protracted Mueller investigation’s bland conclusion and Mueller’s poor testimony closed that case; pursuing it further looks less like evidence and more like vendetta.
'Obviously, the CIA is trying to get out ahead of its impending embarrassment by fabricating a scandal packaged as a whistleblower complaint suggesting, incredibly,that the pres. of the United States is not permitted to solicit foreign assistance in a criminal investigation.'

It is understandable because the intel community — at least Brennan’s CIA as well as the FBI — abused their powers to investigate him and his campaign based on the never-verified allegations in the “Steele dossier” that was bought and paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign.

'CNN now admits it “initially withheld” information “which adds further understanding to the value of the informant” and that “was subsequently reported by the New York Times.”
The silver lining to CNN’s false reporting is that it reminds Americans about the importance of protecting the “sources and methods” of foreign intelligence.
Here's the conclusion from the OIG report (pg 59-61)
VI. Conclusion
"Congress has provided the FBI with substantial powers and authorities to gather evidence as part of the FBI's criminal and counterintelligence mission.
VI. Conclusion
"Congress has provided the FBI with substantial powers and authorities to gather evidence as part of the FBI's criminal and counterintelligence mission.
The FBI uses these authorities every day in its many investigations into allegations of drug trafficking, terrorism, fraud, organized crime, public corruption, espionage, and a host of other threats to national security and public safety.
In the process, the FBI lawfully gains access to a significant amount of sensitive information about individuals, many of whom have not been charged, may never be charged, or may not even be a subject of the investigation.
