(CNN)Neither President Donald Trump nor his attorneys will participate in Wednesday's House Judiciary Committee impeachment hearing, they said late Sunday.

In a letter to Chairman Jerrold Nadler, White House counsel to the President Pat Cipollone said, "We cannot fairly be expected to participate in a hearing while the witnesses are yet to be named and while it remains unclear whether the Judiciary Committee will afford the President a fair process through additional hearings. More importantly, an invitation to an academic discussion with law professors does not begin to provide the President with an semblance of a fair process.

I’m sick of these horrible Rats. And CNN. Those Dummy’s still don’t understand that the House can’t impeach the President. They send Article’s of impeachment to the Senate for a trial where it takes 2/3 of the senate to impeach. Horrible, horrible Rats, each and every one of them.

A good approach, not to dignify the proceedings with compliance. It’s too bad the Executive can’t simply take this to the Supreme Court right now, and have them shut it down for even attempting to curtail the President’s legal protections. The Dems are making a naked attempt to oust the President from office by a quasi-Constitutional method, and no appearance of procedure can disguise it.

Just a reminder that the house has already voted 3 times on whether to impeach the President. It has failed by fairly large margins each time.

Since SanFranNanPelousy didn’t have the votes to pass, she came up with this FAKE impeachment process. I suspect they thought they would bring POTUS approval ratings down so low that they could convince around 20 RINO/GOPe types to be traitors, or at least to hurt election prospects and get the RATs to turn out for whoever their candidate is.

If the phone call is the source material, then the Bidens’ corruption and the Biden family are within scope of inquiry. Not sure the dems really want to go there.

Since I’m sure Nancy’s attendance at the overseas climate conference just happens to coincide with the dates congress will be in session before recess, she must have left someone in charge of this cf.

tell the truth to the American People on live TV in your defense and ram it up their Dem asses?

That is an excellent idea.

Have a team use a YouTube channel to refute, point by point, the accusations and spins. Some of it could be live and some of it could be edited.

Have the president give a short daily recap.

Nadler sent two letters; the second letter extended the date.

The second letter did not extend the date. Its for the second hearing date, as the first hearing date just provides constitutional scholars.

They will not be able to oust him, not even close.

President Trump has the support of Republicans at a level in the nineties. Based upon the 2016 election and his subsequent performance in the Rust Belt and among minorities, it's hard to imagine his support among voters could be below 70 million.

President Trump, strangely enough, is at the peak of his power.

The House can indeed impeach the president. They act as a Grand Jury and need only a majority to impeach. It thenmoves on to Senate where actual trial takes place and guilt is determined by at least 67 Senators finding the president guilty.

Looks like Democraps are close to backing out of impeachment.

That's nice........b/c the 'Craps will be scorned by their base as a bunch of simpering cowards,
not to mention endangering the vulnerable 'Craps in seats they stole in states Trump won.

Yet we know from the activities of the God-awful Muzzard terrors that the anger of belligerent
resistance fighters is never satiated........the braindead peons keep doing the same thing over and over.
