acquitted.
Now, if you are so confident of the vote, lets see one. You see, the thing is that the outcome has already been decided by the Dem PTB's, but they haven't convinced enough red state dems to fall on their swords yet.
Depositions are taken in private. Half of those in attendance are members of the GOP.
Ask Bill Clinton. He was impeached for perjury during a deposition.

cross exam witnesses, call witnesses, etc.
You lost credibility earlier when you ignorantly stated that "Republicans are present at the depositions". Are the allowed to cross examine? Are the allowed to call their own witnesses at these secret (ironically Soviet style) hearings? No they are not.
Unfair. Witch hunt.
The depositions are being done by congressional committees, which are roughly half dem, half GOP.
.......i fully understand the process. i also understand that the Dems are doing something never done before. i also understand that regardless of what you may think, Americans have a basic sense of fairness, and this will never pass muster on that regard andat the end of the day,this is a purely political process, so appearances DO matter.

Otherwise can only be used as impeachment unless the parties agree to use it in lieu of live testimony.
