Yeah if you want to pretend his whole intent wasn’t about disrupting, derailing and delegitimizingthe hearings and have no problem with Trump trying to obstruct every bit of evidence with support from most of the republicans. How credible or principled do you think you sound outside of the Trump circle jerk though?
Based on what?
Rep. Gaetz was in the room to listen to and observe the witness testify, and as a lawyer help the other Republicans and Trump lawyers strategize on how to go forward with the President's counter-defense.
By depriving Gaetz of the ability to attend the deposition, Comrade-Commissar Adam Schiff was depriving Gaetz and other Republicans knowledge of firsthand testimony and therefore less able to plan an adequate defense, where both sides would not have an equal knowledge of the facts in testimony. It gave Democrats a one-sided access to all the facts and testimony.
