Democrats do not play by the same rules.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham is saying House Democrat’s impeachment inquiry is “at its core un-American”. He delivered the criticism Thursday while introducing a resolution to condemn the lower chamber, which now has 46 Republican cosponsors.

46 Sullivan
The resolution calls for open-door impeachment proceedings and aims to provide President Trump with “fundamental constitutional protections.”
The House continues to conduct its inquiry behind closed doors and without authorization, which Graham claimed will increase support for his resolution. He pointed out that the right to “due process” was given to former Presidents Clinton and Nixon, but not to President Trump.
“I would say if we pulled this, you’d be beating us alive,” stated Graham. “If we had Rudy Giuliani’s opening statement and he said ‘I did nothing wrong,’ I doubt if you would accept that.”
The senator said there’s “a right way and a wrong way” to go about impeachment, but emphasized House Democrats have chosen the “dangerous way to do it.” Graham clarified on Twitter that his comments weren’t directed at specific individuals, but at the impeachment inquiry as a process.
