House Democrats to mine intel to build Trump impeachment case
Politico ^ | 8/16/19 | KYLE CHENEY, ANDREW DESIDERIO

Posted on 08/16/2019 3:44:02 AM PDT by Libloather

When Congress initiated impeachment proceedings against President Richard Nixon 45 years ago, the House Intelligence Committee didn’t exist.

Now, Democrats plan to use the panel - and its access to the nation’s most closely guarded counterintelligence secrets - to help guide a potential impeachment of President Donald Trump, according to Democratic aides.

The Intelligence Committee’s involvement could provide Democrats with more evidence against Trump that could strengthen their case against him.

The intelligence panel's role is a sign of the unprecedented nature of the questions surrounding Trump's relationship with Russia, as well as the uncharted territory House Democrats find themselves in as they consider whether to formally recommend Trump’s removal from office.

“In a case as unique as Trump, it is important to consider the totality of the evidence, including classified information,” said a source close to Schiff.

I thought Schiffty said that he already has plenty of evidence.

To those of you lurkers who would vote Democrat, notice they’re more concerned about keeping “Russia, Russia, Russia” alive than in protecting your children from violent crime that’s ruining the cities they run.

They better hurry with their witch hunt. In 16 months they will be handing over Congress and all the committees to Republican control.

“In 16 months they will be handing over Congress and all the committees to Republican control.”

That will depend on President Trump’s ultimate position on Red Flag laws.

The Dems are willing to burn the country down to seize power. I hope American patriots will do what is necessary to stop them.

It’s like watching The Exorcist on endless loop with A Clockwork Orange eye clamps on, “please mother, make it stop!”.

I read that Malcom damaged his eyes doing that scene.

And Linda Blair definitely damaged her back for life.

Some tidbits there :)

Secret police, for your own good.

Barack Hussein Obama wouldn’t have qualified for a security clearance with his past association with a known fugitive terrorist who’d bombed the Pentagon, his espousing of Marxism in college, his admitted pot and cocaine abuse, possible blackmail opportunities from his homosexual partners, his 20 year association with a bigot’s “church”...

Until the House and Senate introduce bills, hold hearings, vote on their legislation, go into conference to settle on a bill both can agree on and vote on a final bill, the 2020 election will be over. Once Trump is reelected he will be in a position to veto any bill sent to him. I have faith that he knows exactly what to do and when to do it.

100% correct - I think they are getting that desperate and are now willing to take the country over by force and fear mongering.

The Democrats have been running an arm of the 2020 campaign out of the House for almost two years now and it will continue up until election day. This is exactly how the GOP should state it 24/7

Linda came to my town a couple years after the movie came out. She was here for a horse competition. I saw her at a meet and greet. She definitely was having back problems then.

She BEGGED them to stop in that scene where her back was going up and down!!

The priest didn’t know steaming hot pea soup was gonna be shot at him.

The director use to shoot into the air sometimes to keep things tense :)

Sounds like a fun set to work on!

I won’t say I don’t love the movie though.

Its hard to watch their lawlessness and disregard for our peaceful political processes and not conclude that is exactly what they intend to do. They are clearing moving in that direction.

They truly believe that the ends justifies the means. These are very dangerous people.

I think about how in history we have seen that revolutions are driven by a less than a majority of the population. The Bolsheviks, Nazis and even our own American Revolution. That is why we need to be ready for this group
