Nothing says the Dems have to share. But precedent (fortunately, rare) is that sharing takes place (to at least some extent).

Maybe their plan will work out for them, but for me even if it does it seems rather short-sighted. Almost as if they're not considering "branches & sequels" (a bit frightening to consider, but maybe the Dems don't care?).

There should be ample precedent out there to demonstrate what should take place as 13 of our 45 Presidents have faced impeachment investigations/inquiries.
