Kangaroo Court

But I know the neighborhood
And talk is cheap when the story is good
And the tales grow taller on down the line
--REO Speedwagon

Previously we've noted the Left's increasing preference for hearsay, particularly as a tool for running Donald Trump out of office (here, here, here). Leftist use of hearsay and supposition reached crescendo levels this week during the House Democrat's sham impeachment hearings this week.

The progression of witnesses producing nothing but second, third, fouth-hand testimony, often led on by Democrat facilitators became so absurd that GOP onlookers ridiculed the proceedings by evoking 1980s REO Speedwagon lyrics.

Were this a real courtroom, any disinterested judge would have run the Democrats out the door by their ears. But this is not a real courtroom, of course. It is the Democrat's kangaroo court.
