That hot how trials work. If the prosecution fails like that, the case get dismissed and if it is without prejudice, they can start over and try again.

Impeachment is not truly analogous to a criminal trial.

If Trump is in the position of criminal defendant, then he’s been able to exercise a huge amount of control over what documents and witnesses the prosecution has been able to collect.

If the “prosecution” has failed so far (and I don’t think they have), that’s a big reason why.

Whatever your feelings on Trump’s guilt or innocence, we need to get this right procedurally because otherwise, the precedent coming out of this will be essentially that executive privilege can be invoked at every turn to thwart congressional oversight of the President.

No, the House was to impatient to go through the normal legal process to get the information they want and get a court ruling on whether executive privilege applies. You want to set the precedent that Congress interprets the law, when that duty is the domain of the court system and a dangerous idea in its own right.

And that failure to complete the investigation and asking the court to do the House's work for them is a basic failure, without which, you would have the evidence you want and thus no reason to complain.

So I conclude that you complainant is not really about not getting this procedurally right, but not getting the predetermined outcome wanted from the process.

You will never be able to make a Trump Cult member grasp how utterly wrong they are and how this event will erode The Constitution even further than it has been over the decades.

Are the Democrats Trust worthy? Of course not. Neither are Republicans.

But Trump Supporters? They have become an Enemy of America like I never expected to witness

They have put a single sub human pos above America

They have become so Anti Constitution and law they think it's actually funny that Trump is blatantly obstructing and abusing his power.

That is the very difference between the house and Senate. It's been that way over 200yrs.

One is an investigation, the other a trial. That's the difference.

In a police investigation, those under investigation don't get to say how the investigation goes. The defense has the trial for that.
