(Not sure I spelled his last name correctly.)
In the three previous instances of judicial impeachments, however, the House did not approve a resolution explicitly authorizing an impeachment inquiry. The Rules of the House since 1975 have granted committees the power to subpoena witnesses and materials, administer oaths, and meet at any time within the United Statespowers that were previously granted through resolutions providing blanket investigatory authorities that were agreed to at the start of a Congress or through authorizing resolutions for each impeachment investigation. In two of the three recent cases, the House agreed to separate resolutions to allow committee counsel to take affidavits and depositions. If the House does approve an authorizing resolution, then in addition to the Rules Committee, the Judiciary Committee can report an original resolution authorizing an impeachment investigation if impeachment resolutions have been referred to the committee. In theIn thecase of the most recent authorization of a presidential impeachment inquiry, thefull House did debate the resolutionJudiciary Committee reported such a resolution, and the full House debated it. As mentioned above, pursuant to a resolution agreed to by the House, the Judiciary Committee reviewed material submitted by an independent counsel appointed to investigate President Bill Clinton. The Judiciary Committee then reported a resolution (H.Res. 581, 105th Congress) authorizing an investigation into whether sufficient grounds existed for the impeachment of the President.
The intent is to make it seem that the investigation was done BEFORE the House as a whole authorized the Judiciary Committee to investigate Bill Clintons impeachable actions and report back. However, that is not the case. The House voted to authorize the Judiciary Committee to investigate and THEN report its findings to the House with a recommendation. It was not what Nancy is trying to obfuscate with these self-serving edits. . . Which were dated, wait for it. . . August 12, 2019!, the same day as the so called whistleblower turned in his complaint to the Intelligence Community Inspector General!
Do you believe in coincidences? I certainly do not.
I have come to the conclusion that its the result from spewing so much Draino() . . . No one can do that for an entire career and not have it effect their mouths.
