Aviation experts are busily combing the wreckage of the Kobe Bryant helicopter crash site trying to determine the cause. Pilot error, equipment failure, maintenance logs, and weather conditions will be among the many factors they consider.

Imagine the public outcry if a witness came forth who saw that final descent, and investigators chose not to interview that individual.

Seems as though that would be similar to what is occurring on the Republican side of the impeachment trial.
