Comment on Sifting through the impeachment hyperbole

President Donald Trump and other Republicans have framed the ongoing House impeachment inquiry as a “witch hunt” and a “sham,” while House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has called its rules “fairer than anything that have gone before in terms of an impeachment proceeding.” Neither argument is accurate, though the Republicans are generally being much more hyperbolic. The gap in perception and rhetoric is enough to wonder if party leaders are even assessing the same process and underlying facts.
