They did issue subpoenas they didn't show because of executive privilege. They go to court that would drag all they way to the supreme court how long would that take?

In the Nixon House hearings it was expedited within about 3 months. But again why does the House not following the due process mean that the Accused should lose the ability to exercise those court challenges.

In Nixon's impeachment, the Republicans were united behind a President who had been overwhelmingly elected, but then the House took the appropriate path through the courts, and some condemning facts changed Republican hearts enough to have a bipartisan impeachment(410-4) which led to Nixon's resignation. I believe that, had the House done the right thing, and had they found a smoking gun, they would have swayed some of the republicans. Not all, because the dems have gone to the nth degree to impeach him, but likely beyond the 67 percent threshold. Likewise, had they gone the right path, and the evidence exonerated Trump i would hope that a reasonable portion of the moderate democratic population would have turned against impeaxhment.

The dems in the house didnt want to take the chance the released documents would show enough valid concern that Trump's guilt could not be pushed and the r's in the senate fear there is enough there that his guilt would be inferred.

Both parties in there particular role acted in bad faith to the constitution. It is unfair to judge ONLY the senate republicans or ONLY the house democrats, for BOTH groups failed the constitution.
