Trump Impeachment: Nancy Pelosi, Bring It into the Light

Republicans and Democrats, partisans of Donald Trump and those looking to impeach him, should speak with one voice about at least one thing: It is time for Nancy Pelosi to bring the impeachment process out of the shadows, out from behind closed doors, and into the light and air, such as it is, of the people's house, where the people may oversee it.

As a candidate, Trump bragged about his talent for political corruption when it came to buying favors from politicians who could help his business.

The Democrats have been talking about impeaching Trump since before he was even sworn into office.

That's the Democrats' own Ukrainian telephone call: Of course Trump took an interest in whether political corruption in Ukraine - and please don't sell me the Saint Hunter Biden story - would benefit him and his party politically.

So Nancy Pelosi must end the secret hearings and closed-door depositions, and put the process, the politics, and the evidence before the public.

If Trump is to be impeached for corruption, it must not happen through a process that is itself corrupt.

Nancy Pelosi has the opportunity to act like she believes that - or to add to the problem.
