You don't even have to be convicted of a crime to be removed from office... It's not about punishment... It's about restoring honor and integrity to the office - Lindsey Graham, Jan 16 1999 [8]

.

The committee’s preference for private interviews over public hearings has been questioned. Interviews are a more efficient and effective means of discovery. Interviews allow witnesses to be questioned in depth by a highly prepared member or staff person. In a hearing, every member of a committee is recognized — usually for five minutes — a procedure which precludes in-depth in-depth focused questioning. Interviews also allow the committee to safeguard the privacy of witnesses who may fear retaliation for cooperating or whose work requires anonymity, such as intelligence community operatives. - Trey Gowdy, Dec 7 2016 [9]

[The impeachment inquiry hearings] going on behind closed doors over which Congressman Schiff is presiding—they are consistent with the rules [of the U.S. House of Representatives] - Andrew Napolitano, Oct 24 2019 [10]
