You don’t actually know what a show trial is do you mott, think the McCarthy hearings or the trial of the foreigners fighting in the Ukrainian army and you’ll have a better grasp if the term.
@mott-the-hoople saidIt’s not a trial. It’s an investigative fact-finding and evidence-gathering committee. If enough prima facie evidence is gathered, it will be turned over to the Dept of Justice for trial.

It’s not partisan. Republicans were offered seats on the committee, all but two refused to participate.
This “ committee” was form illegally with zero representation from the republicans.
How many trials or committees have you ever heard of that needed a TV producer?
@kevcvs57 saidanything can be portrayed in any way as long as YOU get to choose how much of a clip or how much of a statement is ALLOWED to be seen or heard.

You think they are on your side…you are dead wrong.
You support them because you are queer…they dont give a 💩 about you…as soon as they use you they will continue on with their grasp for power. The tide will chande as they progress.

@mott-the-hoople saidYou didn't have a problem with this format when it was used on Hillary Clinton. GOP lawmakers used the same strategy, grilling her for many hours on national TV, so stop sniveling and deal with it. 😳

@moonbus saidthe article is “ comparing” this committee to the soviet “ show trials” …poor ignorant fool 😂

the article refers to it as a “committee”
This is what I refer to when I say the committee selecting only PART of something to make it appear as totally different.

a completely bi-partisan committee.
McCarthy pulled out at the last minute.
I'm sure he now regrets his rash action.

In true Republican style, all lies, all the time.
Funny, but I don't expect we'll hear anything from them about how Trump will institute a government-wide purge if he gets back in.
Not happy with replacing Cabinet Secretaries with CEOs who can barely read or count, he'll expand his ruination of democracy and this country by keeping the yes-men and dumping the true patriots who come to work and do their jobs well every single day.
It's actually MACA: Make America Crap Again.
