Well, that will ensure a fair trial, eh Wayne?

Reportedly, the rules for an impeachment are different from the rules
for a trial, or so I am told, reportedly. Also reportedly, is that
you are acting a bit of a snark, reportedly.

They shouldn't even use the term "trial". These things are nothing
like an actual trial. The judge was a member of the prosecution, the
jury was a bunch of partisan hacks who already knew how they were
going to vote before Nancy even decided on a charge and there were no
rules of evidence. Now it turns out the prosecution are the ones who
decide which witnesses could be called.
You can't even call this an inquisition.
It is just a partisan political witch hunt.
