What did Adam Schiff leave on the cutting room floor?

We now know that the whole purpose of Adam Schiff's illegal secret impeachment hearings was to audition witnesses.

Those who told a good antiTrump story were called back to testify at the public hearings and those who told the truth that defended Trump weren't.

Given that Schiff wouldn't allow Republicans to call witnesses he didn't like this process allowed Schiff to stack the deck and ensure that no testimony that helped Trump would ever show up on live TV.

Given that it's truly amazing that Schiff didn't produce a single witness who testified to first hand knowledge of any criminal activity by Trump.

However we've just learned that Schiff has still kept secret, in violation of House Rules, some of the testimony given in his secret Star Chamber hearings.

Rep. Michael Burgess said:

"They still haven’t made all of the transcripts available to members of Congress. And according to House rules, any committee hearing, the transcript is supposed to be available to other House members. But they have not done so, and no one has asserted that these are classified briefings. They were just simply secret hearings because it behooved the speaker to have secret hearings. That doesn’t pass muster. That’s not a constitutional part of the process."

What better way to rig a trial than to prescreen the witnesses and make sure the jury never hears from any witnesses who would help the defense?

They may get away with it - they often (usually) do.

But, thanks in part to the dedicated (and unpaid) efforts by the Journalists in PJs, the Truth will get out.
