The obvious answer is the Democrats have a Shiff For Brains, and don’t believe in due process when it comes to Trump. Trump should put their nonsense on display and request nobody answer any questions from the kangaroo court until a full House floor vote is taken and bipartisan questioning is allowed.

Among Republicans. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/10/new-poll-20-point-increase-impeachment-inquiry-republicans.html Got any data other than Trump's tweets about disapproval of kangaroo courts? Or is it you, and your deity Trump's, continued babyish persecution complex whining that you're drawing on? There's no 'court' anywhere yet on impeachment. Just some congressional investigations. Like Benghazi was. But, do keep echoing Trump tweets. Saves reading 4chan for the rest of us.

But when the vast majority of Americans say they disapprove of the way Democrats are conducting a kangaroo court, and Republicans refuse to give credence to a unhinged mockery of justice, they really have no one but themselves to blame.

notobtuse wrote: » They can show up to the hearing and fulfill the subpoena. And give answers to any questions as they so wish. Corey Lewandowski’s testimony can serve as a guide and make a mockery out of the kangaroo court.

And all the screaming and whining about it, really changes nothing. The Congress will grind along. What's more concerning to due process, is the refusal to respond to Congressional requests from the WH and Trump's cabinet. If they refuse subpoenas, I think they can be jailed. That'd loosen them up.

When you are dealing with a petulant brat you need to be careful. Worry not, these interviews are being held with both Republicans and Democrats in attendance, the idea it's all democrats is Republican Trump protectionism and quite frankly, fake news.

And some hearings etc are held privately to protect sensitive information regarding national security etc, as would be standard. Plus some witnesses may be willing to say things in private hearings but not say publically. Regardless, they're still under oath, so private or public doesn't matter regarding their answers, and their answers will still be available to those making the decisions on whether or not to impeach, which includes Republican House Members (and Senators if it gets to the Senate).
