9. They want open hearings so their corrupt lawyers can create obfuscation for Fox to report.

White House lawyers are not allowed in the investigative hearings, and that is the reason Republicans have pulled their ridiculous stunts. WH lawyers will be able to question witnesses in the public hearings, and they will try to turn every fact into simple hearsay or opinion. Their purpose will be to make a mockery of the hearings that Trump’s propaganda machine can turn into an illegal impeachment attempt.

Trump supporters will not watch the hearings, but some independents might. I have faith in Chairman Schiff, but effectively countering Trump’s lying legal machine will be challenging.
