republicans were taking part in the process because the hearing wasn't out in the open they were in open to the public they were critical of that last week a federal judge actually refuted this claim and sided with democrats saying that they were well within their rights to hold these hearings that this had been done before prior to a formal vote on an impeachment but the administration is appealing that decision and nancy pelosi says that while it is a baseless excuse she's attempting to take that excuse away from the republicans and not give them reason to justify withholding documents and preventing witnesses from cooperating now the white house may still try to claim that witnesses have immunity and don't have to testify democrats have been dealing with that by taking them to court and trying to get it resolved there but that's a process that's likely to take months to resolve so by changing their tactics
