Yes, I did “broach the subject” (and this seems to be the key detail that several of you are ignoring / missing, no matter how many times I repeat it) in response to JohnT’s “traffic court” post. I did not claim that President Trump has a 6th Amendment right to confront Ciaramella.
Read what I wrote again. The quoting of JohnT’s post at the outset was to indicate to him and the rest of you that that post was in reply to the quoted post. The use of the phrase “criminal justice system” was intended to denote the distinction between that and the political process that is impeachment. It’s clear as day that I was talking about the 6th Amendment only in relation to JohnT’s (badly mis-informed) traffic court analogy.
ETA: BTW, a sincere thanks for the acknowledgement in the first half of your post. I didn’t requote it here because my response is to the latter portion, but I did see and greatly appreciated it.
