House Calendar Doesn’t Align with Speaker Pelosi Talking Points, and House Resolution on Impeachment…
There is absolutely no-way the HPSCI can generate a report, have members authorize the report, transfer the report to HJC, schedule witnesses in coordination with the White House, organize opposing counsel, complete a HJC inquiry, assemble articles of impeachment and hold a House vote on those articles in eight days, mid-December.
Even with the partisan railroading on overdrive that schedule is an impossibility. Remember, they still have to pass a budget because they punted a continuing resolution into December.
The best the House could hope for would be a HPSCI report completed and a House vote to send the report to HJC in December; changing the process from an official “inquiry” into an official “investigation”. If accurate (more sensible) that puts the HJC impeachment process into January 2020.
Given the need for Chairman Nadler and the HJC to coordinate schedules with White House lawyers and rules, etc. etc. HJC hearings would be mid to late January under the best of circumstances; and article assembly with a House Impeachment Vote in late January to early February 2020.

I posted this same thing on last Wednesday’s live thread.
Can Nadler hold his hearings in the Judiciary Committee between now and mid-December, with Thanksgiving and Christmas recesses coming up? Maybe, maybe not. That’s only about a three week window of opportunity to get it scheduled, get witnesses lined up to appear, etc.
So, if Nadler were to hold “official” impeachment inquiry hearings at all, it would likely be in January 2020 at the beginning of the second session of this Congress. At that point, I’d think that Pelosi would want it all wrapped up by Super Tuesday in the first week of March.
And then the calendar summary:
When are they officially scheduled to start Christmas recess? How many “working” days are left this year?
Based on the House calendar:
They are off all next week (district work period).
They are in session December 3-6 (four days).
They are in session December 9-12 (four days).
The calendar is blank after that (assuming in recess).
I’m glad someone else was paying attention.

They’ve been planning this for over three years. They need to grab the plan off the shelf, blow off the dust, and have Nancy start “Scheming and Deeming”(tm). Presto-change-o, add water, stir for effect, and serve it up cold.
