this process has unfolded. and that's not new, but this part is. >> president trump didn't do anything wrong and what the democrats are doing is partisan, it's unfair and frankly it's ridiculous. particularly the way they've went about with these secret meetings in the bunker in the basement of the capitol. >> but the post has kind of an interesting take on this, pointing out that if you look at the transcripts that have been released so far, they call this the scatter shot strategy in the early days of the impeachment inquiry. trying to find out even though they are talking about transparency, trying to find out how different pieces of testimony got leaked, quizzing witnesses. >> the irony is there are republicans in these depositions as well. there are plenty of republicans who have been part of this process who have held to what the standard of the rule of law is. these are legal depositions and they happen behind closed doors and now they're releasing the transcript publicly as the next part of the process. what's interesting is they're going to try to start throwing spaghetti against the wall to see what sticks and one of those seems to be none of this
