When it comes to calling you out for fake news, yes and that's Mr. Reporter 😘

I didn't, just illustrating the lefts uncanny ability to consume fake news and watch you spin the back track, it amuses me and figured I'll share it with the audience as a reminder that fake news is indeed, fake news.

No back track at all silly goose.
The thought just tickled me pink.
I wanted to share it with you. Why did you take it so seriously?
Except where did I proclaim it as news. You think you can take something you disagree with, call it 'fake news' and I magically become a reporter educating the world of my sweet find?
Honestly, calm down and chill, I'm not even taking it seriously and I'll give you a pass, you're not dumb, just willfully disingenuous.
That being said, Hearsay and eyewitness testimony is most certainly admissible as evidence.
“Hearsay” is defined as any statement made outside of court that is “offered in evidence to prove the truth of the matter asserted.” An example would be evidence that a person, in a non-court setting, said to another person that the defendant committed a robbery, if the state tried to introduce it as evidence that the defendant committed robbery.
Hearsay is generally inadmissible, since the judge or jury is unable to form an opinion regarding whether the person making the out-of-court statement is reliable. Multiple exceptions to the hearsay rule exist, and a defendant’s own out-of-court statements are excluded from the definition of hearsay entirely.
Defendants may move to suppress evidence obtained by police or prosecutors in violation of their constitutional rights, including the Fourth Amendment right against warrantless searches and seizures, the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, and the Sixth Amendment right to an attorney in a criminal case. Evidence obtained in violation of a defendant’s rights is known as “fruit of the poisonous tree.”

I can't help but think something telling such as Secretary of State announcing he's jumping ship would be exceptionally well timed (or ill timed if you love Trump), for how the optics and internal dynamics portend in this situation.
Expected of course, leftist users actually reading a source? Might as well lead me to BIGFOOT while you're at it.

Same reason senators are not speaking up. They risk being trumped.

Particularly alarming and despicable is how the Dems phrase all their questions. They write a narrative and then say, "that would be a crime, right?". All they are doing is leading the witness and it's so painfully obvious.
and it's utterly ridiculous, yet a bunch of low iq tools fall for it.
I guess what alarms me the most is how uneducated and stupid a large portion of the populace is.
The odds that Trump won't finish his 1st term have doubled in the last few days...

That's a fair summary. To be more specific, in this case its admissible.
Was Trump counsel given his RIGHT to supress?
Possibly and I don't disagree with you at all.

I'm not stupid enough to say Trump won't be impeached, if any indication there is from deluded leftist users such as yourself, it's that Dems will abuse their positions for the sake of narrative and votes.
The House will vote on articles of impeachment against President Trump.
I'm not so sure. Personally I think it is actually possible that enough democrats see the catastrophe that is happening in front of the nation right now, and may at the last minute choose to try to save their re-election chances and simply not vote in favor of impeachment... and that is if Nancy doesn't come to her senses and decide not to bring it to a vote.
That said, I do think it is more likely that he will be impeached, then the Senate calls Vindman (the leaker-source), then Ciaramella (the whistle-leaker), then wastes a lot of dem campaign time on a bunch of hearings, before voting to dismiss with prejudice (I wonder if they can do so with prejudice, probably not).

That's not how this works. You don't let the accused set the manner in which light of their crimes are made known
That's how due process works.
How the impeachment has been conducted is pretty much how the jews ended up in gas chambers.

Well, he did need to go to the Dr. with an unscheduled visit....Setting the stage for a bail out claiming health issues.

You are mistaken. This is not a trial, and there is no requirement for the checks and balances expected in a fair trial. These are preliminary hearings serving as fact finding endeavors to collect the totality of evidence to present for an actual impeachment trial.

Don't get your hopes up guys....
Because much like the past 3 yrs, you will again be disappointed.
Do yourselves a favor and prepare yourselves because you are about to be let down again and again.

Criminal and civil cases that lack sufficient evidence usually aren't pursued.
Since prosecutors have considerable discretion over which cases are pursued and private citizens are free to file lawsuits, this tort provides an essential check on potential abuses.
However, occasionally criminal charges or civil lawsuits are maliciously filed in order to intimidate, harass, defame, or otherwise injure the other party. Such actions are referred to as malicious prosecution, whether it's an unscrupulous prosecutor filing false charges against a political rival or a corporation suing a small business in order to put the competition out of business.
