Think of it this way: an impeachment inquiry is like a grand jury process, not a trial. The House is the D.A. gathering evidence. The target has no right to cross-examine or call witnesses. The results of the inquiry will be articles of impeachment. Then comes the trial...
Think about if you went through a trial, but you weren't allowed to call any witnesses. That's what Speaker Pelosi is doing to President Trump right now.
This entire process is a sham.
