And I'm thinking this just could have something to do with today's news:

Sitting here pondering how remarkable it is that the Department of Justice is now arguing to a jury that one of President Trump’s oldest associates lied under oath and intimidated a witness to hide Trump’s zealous quest for oppo hacked by Russian intelligence officers.

And by the way:

Republicans keep saying these witnesses have no direct knowledge, without acknowledging the White House has blocked those who have such knowledge from testifying.
Democrats have not made that point during their own time.

True enough; but the point the Dems should have made was:  "Fine!  Allow the witnesses with first hand knowledge to testify!  Then we can see if this investigation is well-founded or not!"  Considering how things went today, I don't think the White House is anxious to do that.

But then the question is:  why not?  What are they afraid of?
