House Democratic leaders are eyeing a fast-paced investigation into the possible impeachment of President Trump, instructing the committees handling the probe to wrap up their findings within weeks in hopes of concluding before the holiday season.

Some Democratic lawmakers and aides said Thursday, speaking on the condition of anonymity to describe private deliberations, that they believed impeachment articles could be ready for a House vote around Thanksgiving.

I was not aware this was fake in origin. A friend forwarded it to me and I should have checked the source before posting.

Can the Senate refuse to hold any hearing without an actual charge?

The Rats are following the original script put in place 3 years ago to get rid of Trump. Only they can’t seem to comprehend the key element of their plan, the Mueller probe, came up empty. They’re moving on to the impeachment step, without a crime. But why not. They’ve got a schedule to keep and the MSM will keep it all going by either flat out lying or not reporting, when facts kill the narrative (like Hunter Biden’s bribe).

Need to act before the IG and Durham reports come out. Where
the Hell is the Rep controlled Senate? Who is supporting the President?

Jeff Flake is an idiot. Any Rep voting to impeach or convict Trump is committing political suicide. And the GOP will be the first casualty. It will go the way of the Whigs if there is not total support of the President.

Everyone knows that there is no chance the President will be convicted in the Senate.

I’m game.

ow does this help them during the last holiday season?

I didn't say anything of the kind.

I said Jeff Flake said 35 senators would vote against Trump in impeachment trial if their votes were private instead of public.

I never advocated anything.

Once, while waiting for a cab in Newark, a man came up to me and tried to sell me a watch real fast. He had a footprint on his shirt. I didn’t buy the watch, and when the police pulled up he made a fast exit.

So it’s some anon. The facts and informed predictions are what matter.

This article was like a Snopes “mostly false”, but the only content it disavowed was “It’s also unlikely that anyone could be subpoenaed about anything”.

That is, it’s 100% true, except one hyperbole and the author’s pseudonym. And it makes predictions we can believe or not.

Notice that Flake uses the caveat that 35 Reps in the Senate would vote to convict if the vote were secret or held privately. Flake is delusional divorced from reality.

I have already opined that we can expect Biden to drop out, for “family reasons” by Thanksgiving...

“So let me get this straight. Your target is one of the richest, and the most powerful men in the world. And his supporters are all heavily armed Deplorables. And your plan is to impeach this person, right before a Holiday where you have to go face the voters?"

That only matters if there is leadership, mass movement, and the willingness to use force. I have been urging that Trump call his supporters to Washington to stop the coup. The Rats and their fellow traveler GOPe need to know that if they remove Trump, the consent of the governed will be withdrawn and the patriot citizenry will bring down the government.

They were examples only. You can come up with your own list of who else could be turned against Trump. There are many possibilities because Trump has upset the Uniparty gravy train and when offered endless oceans of money and good times by those who would bring down the country.
