Is the assumption that they would speak about impeachment in general, or the appropriateness of pursuing impeachment with the current evidence? I have no understanding of what the goal is for having just a series of experts speaking.

And I thought I was good at snark.

If Congressman Schiff is an ethical no-show and a criminal, why aren’t the republicans moving to impeach him?

The goal is to inform and, in a way, neutralize knuckleheads like Doug Collins.

Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.

Technically, its to ensure that the articles of impeachment are in order.

Politically, its to make the larger case of why Trump’s actions are indeed impeachable acts.

If Joe and Hunter Biden were involved in criminal activity why hasn’t Trump formally asked the DOJ to investigate it?

Oh, it should be quite interesting. This is where Dems will get their opportunity to make the case to impeach. Not just “these actions were bad”, but to say why they were bad, and why they are completely unacceptable.
