Intelligence Committee to begin circulating draft Ukraine report Monday
Politico via MSN ^ | 11/30/19 | Melanie Zanona, Kyle Cheney

Members of the House Intelligence Committee will begin reviewing a report Monday on the panel's investigation of President Donald Trump's efforts to press Ukraine to investigate his Democratic adversaries, a crucial step in the House's fast-moving impeachment inquiry.

Lawmakers on the panel will get a 24-hour review period, according to internal guidance sent to committee members and obtained by POLITICO. On Tuesday, the panel is expected to approve the findings - likely on a party-line vote - teeing it up for consideration by the Judiciary Committee, which is in turn expected to draft and consider articles of impeachment in the coming weeks.

Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff had indicated in a letter to colleagues earlier this week that a report would be coming "soon" from his committee but had not provided a specific timeframe.

Schiff had also indicated that his committee was still open to receiving new witnesses or testimony as it began to draft the report, but it’s unclear if any new information has become available since lawmakers departed for a one-week Thanksgiving recess.

No evidence - but Schiffty is writing a report anyway. I wonder if he can be charged for filing a false claim.

Just wondering. Did Schiffty's report include this?

"I have a favor I want from you, though. And I'm going to say this only seven times, so you better listen good. I want you to make up dirt on my political opponent, understand? Lots of it."

Just wondering.

According to former president Gerald Ford, no crime is required. “Impeachment is whatever the House says it is.”

I did a search on that and found a long article (which I am too lazy to read).

Title:
An Impeachable Offense Is NOT Whatever the House Says It Is
Why Gerald Ford’s famous dictum is dead wrong.

Not even a speed bump to a Dem.

I’ve spent the last month reading a new book out..’Field of Blood’, which highlights the impending crisis period before the Civil War (covering the 1830s to late 1850s).

It’s an outstanding book and talks at length about the various characters in the House, and all the insults, slander and outrage going on. You see the same ‘opera’ going on presently, and you have to wonder if anything can ever be resolved.

The very fact that the ‘Ukraine report’ is about Trump’s wrongdoing and not about Obama’s coup in Ukraine, Russian hoax and Biden’s corruption says it all.

After reading the reviews from that book you might be right.
Even if Trump did ask the Ukrainians to investigate I don’t care. Pushing this impeachment against a man that is pushing for an investigation into the Bidens in Ukraine is so twisted.
Comparing that period prior to the CW to now is a good analogy. Shiff and Nadler both need a public Caning for their antics.

No evidence...but rumor and innuendo.

Its interesting to watch the Dems try and run Congress on fiction rather than fact.

The Dems in Congress dwell in an alternate fictional reality brought on by Trump Derangement Syndrome.

They want to create a Zombie Apocalypse and re-create Venezuela right here at home.

America does NOT buy any of this.

And we will put an end to THEM.

At least they can force Trump to stop investigating Biden family’s corruption.

Lol.
It’s about anti-Russia.

For Russophobia lowlifes, Ukraine is more valuable than Trump.

I am having a really hard time connecting Schiff with the “INTELLIGENCE” committee.

I do not believe he has a very high IQ. Certainly NOT 3 digits.

Also- IS Schiff’s SISTER married to a member of the Soros family???
