Fox News analyst: Republicans are protesting their own impeachment inquiry rules
Quote:Judge Andrew Napolitano said Thursday that the Republicans are protesting their own rules for impeachment inquiries. Napolitano, an analyst for Fox News, said on “Fox & Friends” that Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) is following the impeachment rules that Republicans put in place with a GOP majority in 2015.
“I read the House rules, and as frustrating as it may be to have these hearings going on behind closed doors, the hearings for which Congressman Schiff is presiding, they are consistent with the rules,” Napolitano said. The judge noted that the “initial level of inquiry” in the impeachment questioning can be “done in secret,” like the witness interviews during President Nixon’s and President Clinton’s impeachment proceedings.
I also learned that there is no requirement to announce that an impeachment inquiry is underway. Ms. Pelosi could have called a press conference six months from now and simply announced the articles of impeachment are going to be voted on. All perfectly legal.
I don't seem to recall Democrats bursting into secure rooms when Ms. Clinton was being investigated.
