What is the case for releasing their testimony to the public while not releasing that testimony favorable to Trump?

>> OK, I assume that by justice you meant fairness.

Yes.

>> I have mostly focused on your conflation of investigation and trial. Another prominent example is the complaint that testimony was secret followed by complaint that it was being made public.

I'm not conflating anything. If anyone is, you are -- by conflating this outrageous anything-goes investigation with a fair process. There are no laws here: There is only what is right versus wrong. The artifacts of the legal system are a mere convenience -- as can be seen by Schiff's highly unusual process, one designed to damage Trump regardless of whether there is an impeachment.

It is entirely inconsistent with the rule of law. Previous impeachments of presidents have never been conducted in this manner because there was a recognition of a strong public interest in knowing the truth. We are not getting truth today.

This is a national embarrassment.
