House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Doug Collins (R-GA) sat down with Fox News' Mark Levin to discuss the Democrats' push to impeach President Donald Trump, which is set to air Sunday night at 8 p.m. EST. In a preview of the interview, Collins explained how a comment Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) made is rather revealing. "I'm going to go back to a statement by the Majority Leader, Mr. Hoyer from Maryland and he made a very revealing statement. For anyone who's concerned about [the] Constitution and rights, and especially me, and even those who, my Democratic counterparts who worry...

When is Doug Collins up for re-election and who is running against him?

A number of House GOP lawmakers are quietly expressing interest in being selected to join President Trump’s impeachment defense team as Republicans brace for proceedings to move to the upper chamber. The president wants a combination of lawyers and three to four vocal defenders in the House GOP to be on his legal team, Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) recently said on the House Freedom Caucus’ podcast. The GOP members most often mentioned as potential candidates include Reps. John Ratcliffe (Texas), Jim Jordan (Ohio) and Doug Collins (Ga.). “I don't know the extent of the lobby from Capitol Hill, I think...

In a surprise move that outraged his Republican colleagues, House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler broke up a marathon impeachment hearing shortly before midnight Thursday without allowing members to cast their planned votes on articles of impeachment against President Trump. After more than 14 hours of brutally partisan debate, Nadler suddenly gaveled out the hearing and told the panel’s 40 members to return at 10 a.m. Friday for a vote on the articles. “It is now very late at night. I want members on both sides of the aisle to think about what has happened over these last days and to...

The House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday night began the "markup" process for the two articles of impeachment against President Trump that they have settled on, barreling toward a final floor vote even as moderate Democrats have floated the idea of backing down in favor of a censure resolution. Almost immediately, the evening proceedings broke out into fiery disagreement, as the panel's top Democrat declared that it would be unsafe to wait until the 2020 election to remove Trump, while the ranking Republican slammed Democrats for attacking Ukraine's leader because he undercut their case against Trump. "We cannot rely on an...

GOP Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) had a point of order after listening to Democratic counsel Barry Berke's character assassination of President Trump at Monday's House Judiciary Committee hearing. Berke began his opening statement by sharing that his young son asked him recently if the president has to be a good person. He said no, but that is "the hope." Caleb Hull ✔@CalebJHull The Democrats' star witness today is literally testifying that Trump should be impeached because his son says he's a "bad person."

“Chairman Nadler has no choice but to postpone Monday’s hearing in the wake of a last-minute document transmission that shows just how far Democrats have gone to pervert basic fairness. . . . Democrats waited until after Speaker Pelosi announced that articles of impeachment were imminent and chose the eve of the Judiciary Committee’s impeachment hearing to share loads of documents that Chairman Schiff has had since this investigation began.” WASHINGTON — Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.), Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, has demanded Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, delay Monday’s hearing after Democrats on the...

House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Doug Collins (R-GA) on Sunday blasted Chairman Jerry Nadler, saying Monday's scheduled impeachment hearing needs to be postponed. According to Collins, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) handed over thousands of pages of documents less than 48 hours before Monday's scheduled impeachment hearing. "This is how desperate, how desperately focused they are on impeaching this president," Collins told Fox News' Maria Bartiromo. "Last week we had our first hearings with the law professors and Jonathan Turley put it to bed about how they're actually abusing power. The next morning Speaker Pelosi comes on and...

It is tempting to describe Wednesday’s impeachment hearing before the House Judiciary Committee as a farce. But it was worse than that. It made a travesty of fairness. With Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y. at the helm of the Judiciary Committee, there was no real chance that President Trump would be treated equitably. After all, Nadler’s confederate and chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., had already obliterated any semblance of due process in impeachment hearings before his committee. The Schiff hearings were a lollapalooza of hearsay, opinion and grotesque speculation. So there was no reason to believe...

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday morning, George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley called out Democrats and fellow members of the panel for moving forward with impeachment because "everyone is mad." “I get it. You're mad. The President's mad. My Republican friends are mad. My Democratic friends are mad. My wife is mad. My kids are mad. Even my dog seems mad and Luna is a golden-doodle and they don't get mad. So, we're all mad. Where has it taken us? Will a slipshod impeachment make us less mad or will it only give an invitation for...

Source: Fox News/Screenshot Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA), the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, heavily criticized the ongoing the impeachment inquiry during his opening remarks on Wednesday. Collins noted how there were no fact witnesses present for the first day of the Judiciary Committee hearing and how Chairman Jerry Nadler and other Democrats have a history of bias against President Trump. Instead, the four people testifying on Wednesday are law professors. "America will see why most people don’t go to law school. No offense to our professors. But please, really? We’re bringing you in here today to testify...

House Republicans have continually pushed back against Democrats and their impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump's call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. One of the biggest issues the GOP had with this entire saga – besides the fact that the saga is entirely partisan and a witch hunt based on emotions, not fact – is the lack of due process. Democrats started this impeachment process without allowing Republicans to have any say in what was taking place. Republicans couldn't call witnesses or issue subpoenas. The Democrats finally decided to allow Republicans to issue subpoenas and interrogatories, although House Judiciary Committee...

Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp will likely tap business executive Kelly Loeffler to the U.S. Senate despite strong criticism from his conservative base over Loffler’s affiliation with Planned Parenthood, Stacey Abrams, and establishment Republicans, according to a report released Friday. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Friday that Kemp plans to tap business executive Loeffler next week as he will attempt to appeal to Georgia suburban women despite the conservative opposition to Loeffler. Kemp’s potential nomination of Loeffler will defy President Donald Trump, prominent conservative organizations, and Georgia’s conservative base that helped Kemp get elected to the governor’s office. Breitbart News has...

Conservatives across the Georgia Republican base have sounded the alarm over Gov. Brian Kemp’s potential appointment of Kelly Loeffler as an interim Republican senator. Georgia conservative activist Debbie Dooley called her a “country club Republican” in an interview with Breitbart News. As Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-GA) is set to retire shortly, Gov. Kemp has two potential options to nominate as an interim Georgia Republican senator: Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) and financial executive Kelly Loeffler. Collins is the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee and has served as a staunch supporter of President Trump during the impeachment inquiry and of...

Rep. Collins: Democrats 'shredded our procedures and shredded our rules and lied to the American people' Following the House of Representatives vote setting parameters for the Trump impeachment inquiry, Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga., was deep in thought on a flight back to Atlanta. Collins told Bret Baier Thursday on "Special Report" he had "sobering" reflections about both the vote and critical comments he made on the House floor in its aftermath. "What I had said earlier today really began to hit, and that is, a dark cloud has fallen upon the House," he said. "It is not a cloud of...

'Hard to imagine Trump doing a signing ceremony of anything with Speaker Pelosi at his side' Three Senate sources told the Washington Free Beacon that the House's impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump has stalled efforts to pass new gun control laws. "Hard to imagine Trump doing a signing ceremony of anything with Speaker Pelosi at his side, and Democrats are the only ones agitating for gun control," one staffer told the Free Beacon on Wednesday. The inquiry, which House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.) officially labeled an impeachment investigation, will consume Washington for the weeks and months ahead, according to...

Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga., the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, on Wednesday said he wants the facts – and rational thought – to be used in work on gun control plans being considered by Congress. But he doesn't have high hopes. His comments came as the committee, run by Democrats, worked on a hearing titled "Protecting America from Assault Weapons." The hearing was to hear from several witnesses, including Nan Whaley, the mayor of Dayton, Ohio, the scene of one of several shootings in recent weeks where either a deranged or homicide-minded individual attacked innocent people, with guns....

Rep. Doug Collins‏Verified account @RepDougCollins  Sep 20 "When Democrats allow an outside, private consultant to question a witness this week, they broke House rules and granted those political consultants greater congressional privileges than they gave to elected representatives. Here’s why that’s a problem:"

When it comes to a big-balls, no-holds-barred conservative, Americans have seldom seen a better champion of constitutionalism than Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) The House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member took the panel’s psycho chairman, Jerrold “Jowels” Nadler (D-N.Y.) and his fellow sycophant partisans to task in an epic fashion as the committee opened a hearing into a bullshit “impeachment” probe against President Donald Trump. Only in Washington, D.C., where swamp creatures rule, could a duly elected president who was victimized by an attempted coup then be subject to an impeachment inquiry. Unbelievable. Well, Collins was having none of it.
