This is propaganda not ignorance!

They know that this process is not the trial.

They know that in 1998 and 1973 the process involved private interviews (ie, Starr Report) before it came up for a vote.

They know Dems are following the same house rules the GOP adopted for bengazhi.

They know that this is even more fair than Clinton/Clinton.

They know all these things.

They are trying to wage a propaganda war on the GOP base voters because that's their power grab.

One set of rules for when the left has power, and no rules when the right is in power.
