      This should be disconcerting to both Trump supporters and critics - and everyone else. 19/

      If Trump and family are innocent of charges leveled against them, vindication will be swifter through a real congressional process. 20/

      If they have something to hide, it will be obvious under rigorous public questioning. 21/

      Everyone, regardless of this issue or partisan lean, should be horrified by the way Congress continues to cede its power to exec branch 22/

      Congress is Article I. Each year, its members act more and more like an appendix. 23/

      This "talk to the committee in private" privilege is just one more sad display of a hollowed out branch of government. 24/

      This won't change unless the public demands that reps/sens honor our system by exercising the power they've been lent for 2 or 6 years. 25/

      Compelling witnesses to testify in public is but one small way in which Congress acts as a check. But it's an important one. 26/

      Judiciary has been clear these interviews are a prelude ahead of public hearings fwiw.

      also, there's no good reason to give a witness a private preview of public questioning.

          they'd argue longer, more meandering, unclearly focused private questioning allows for sharper, tailored, focused public questioning later

          not in my experience watching Congress... they'll meander anyway ... also staff/lawyers can do the prep work.

          Argument I've heard is it's harder to coordinate private testimony among many witnesses.

          Agree with Jonathan. Why should anyone get a "dress rehearsal?" This is not a play where you guide the audience toward a specific outcome.
