/—-/ Thank you Captain Obvious.The trial will happen in the senate./—-/ Grand juries are held in private. Anyone leaking quotes is guilty of a crime. Shytface leaked testimony almost daily. He held hearings in public. Why are you being obtuse?Your inability to comprehend my example is not my problem./----/ Grand Juries are held in secret - not in public on the floor of Congress and televised on national TV. No one is calling it a Grand Jury except you trying to act better educated than everyone else?You need to look at how this process works. We just finished the grand jury phase. If an indictment is handed down and it goes to trial the defense can call all the witnesses it wants.
However they pretty badly handicapped themselves with all this refusal to testify and hand over documents crap.
How Does a Grand Jury Work? - FindLaw
If you can look up grand juries then you can look up impeachment and gain an understanding of how it works.
The fact that you have not means you are wilfully ignorant. Which is the worst kind.
A better comparison would be the grand jury trial was equal to their basement hearings. The trial was actually the inquiry which in this case, the defense was not allowed to call their witnesses.
