Search Results: questions to ask on an interview

I was looking through this question: What are the odds that this current attempt to impeach will backfire on the Dems? and I noticed a lot of people lying about how the closed-door process is somehow corrupt. That lie is being reinforced by the theatre of a group of Republicans breaking security protocols to disrupt a deposition (some of whom were even invited, so it was doubly pointless).

Here's the process, as described by Representative Swalwell (D-CA) in an interview:

"So it's a long conference table. At the end of the table sits the witness and a few lawyers. There's a stenographer taking every single word down. That's a court reporter essentially. On one side of the table are the Democratic members. On the other side are the Republican members. And staff for both sides. We start with an hour of questioning by the Democrats. Then an hour of questioning by the Republicans. Members or staff may ask questions and in many cases, both do. And then we go 45 minutes Democrats, 45 minutes over to the Republicans until both sides say they're done. It's not Democrats say we're done and we're out. It's when both sides say they have no further questions. [...]

[The Republicans] can spend their [time] any way they like. They can do it in, you know, Russian if they want to ask the questions that way. But they have equal opportunity to ask the questions. There's no limitations on the questions that they ask. And there's no limitations on the number of members that can be in the room who are on the three committees."
