If this “rebuttal” day is allowed, I expect something “more newsworthy” to occur that day.
If schitt says no, can the Rs rush this through the courts?
Is it something that courts would address?
Schiff will limit the Republican space to a broom closet and the media won’t show up. So there’s that.
Even if Schiff allowed this, which he won’t, he will not allow the 2 witnesses republicans want and will not issue subpoenas. Hunter Biden and the double secret not allowed to be mentioned whistleblower. Nice try but no “cigar”.
If Hillary can expose classified information, why should Pencilneck be troubled by a little House Rule?

This is nonsense.
The House passed a specific set of rules for the “investigation” that supersede existing House rules.
McCarthy is just posturing. He knows his “request” will not be honored.
THE SCHIFF HOUSE DUMPSTER FIRE IN 2 MINUTES!
Phony claims of collusion, phone calls, Quid pro quo &, finally, bribery are all Democrat excuses to piss away millions of our dough and waste years they could use to solve REAL problems here! Did I mention that they were also trying to save their worthless asses?

It’s a total debacle.
“Democracy” means the Democrat Party wins.
Demoncrats play hardball. Republicans play by “Roberts Rules of Order”. Until we take the gloves off, we will always lose
Yeah, but, I’m not so sure these R’s won’t swing and miss.
Never know.
The problem with calling Republican witnesses in a house committee run by Dems is they will not be allowed to answer the questions. Schiff will rule that questions as to the Bidens corruption are irrelevant and questions to the whistleblower who did not attend the call are hearsay even though they let their witnesses’ hearsay in. Makes more sense that Republican witnesses be called in the senate trial where Republicans will set the rules and allow the questions and make this entire thing about the Bidens and Dem corruption and duplicity and not Trump.
Speaking of McCarthy, there was another one who should be remembered.
Senator Joseph McCarthy TRIED to find and out the agents of what we now know as the DEEP STATE back in the 50s. One World MARXISTS (that’s the watered down, POLITE word for COMMUNISTS) then infested the State Department and other agencies and their numbers have grown with the failure to run them out. For his trouble, McCarthy was vilified, hospitalized and MURDERED. (SOUND FAMILIAR?)
With Trump’s election, every passing day exposes more of them along with evidence of their treasonous treachery.
My favorite bumper sticker for years has been:
“LOOKS LIKE THOSE CRAZY BIRCHERS WERE RIGHT!”
If you’re one who still has his head stuck in his nether region, time to come out while there’s still an AMERICA – the nation AND the IDEA! – to come out to!
The swamp hits Pres.Trump in America and PremierNetanyahu in Israel./p>
“House Rule XI, Clause 1(a)(1)(A) states that “the Rules of the House are the rules of its committees and subcommittees so far as applicable.””
Nancy will simply “rule” that it is “not applicable”.
Just like Obamacare originated in the senate illegally. If the will of the party is in conflict with some sort of rule, the rule is simply ignored.

The Republicans should put Eric Ciaramella on the list of witnesses they want. I’d like to hear what he has to say.
Obviously, none of us, including Schiff, Nunes, or anyone else, knows who the whistleblower is, but what does Eric Ciaramella think about all this?
I hope Schiff-for-brains does say no. It will just reinforce the kangaroo court nature of these farcical proceedings, reducing their legitimacy even further (if that’s possible). It will also give House members cover to vote no on impeachment.
Hardly any references to this in the news - wonder if the move is going anywhere....
If we are going to lose the impeachment vote anyway, violating this rule might be a good reason to boycott the vote. (Not sure of the optics of a vote boycott, just throwing the idea out there.)
