Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee are looking to formally define what Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., has referred to as impeachment proceedings against President Trump, leading ranking member Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga., to torch members for stumbling over themselves throughout the process.
Collins pointed out what he believes are problems with how Democrats have conducted their investigation, claiming that they have acted outside the boundaries of House rules and may have made misrepresentations in court filings.
They have portrayed themselves in just a terrible way over the last eight months and they keep digging their hole," Collins told Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures."
Democrats on the committee are planning on voting on how the investigation is defined, through a resolution that would set the boundaries of the probe, Politico reported. Collins stated that this is not the way that impeachment investigations are done.
If they really want to do this, they have to bring impeachment to the floor," he said, pointing to rules that call for the full House to vote on approving an impeachment investigation. "This is simply a show, a travesty, and frankly they should be ashamed.
The Georgia Republican said that Democrats "can change committee rules as long as they dont violate House rules."

And nobody but nobody calls them on it.
It is pathetic but all Dems are showing is that they cant win in 2020 legit..if they thought they could beat Trump easily they would not bother with any impeachment nonsense, but all those BS polls that show Dems winning are totally bogus, we all know that..so all they have is this, impeachment for picking his nose, impeachment for eating a burger, etc etc
Constitution: Show me the crime, I’ll findthe man.
Dems: Show me the man, I’ll find the crime.
It’s not rules they are violating
They are doing this as a gag, for entertainment value and to raise money, that’s all
Exactly right! Just a big yawn. I remember when W was president, all the talks of impeachment and it worried me sick. I realized it is not going to happen. Like most things in Congress, its all a dog and pony show.
Article 2, Section 4
“The President, Vice President and all Civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”
What exactly are the “High Crimes and Misdemeanors” Has Trump been convicted of?
Democrats ashamed?
Can those two words be used together in the same sentence?
The Rats don’t have squat.
GOP Reps just needs to walk out and leave the Dems to their kangaroo court. The Dems would certainly do that if the GOP did something outrageous like this.
One group who will never call them out is the media as the media is the propaganda arm of the Democrat party
The Left will HATE it, if we can get them to believe that it just to raise money.
They wouldn’t like contributing to such deviousness. They have principles.
Lets keep this FReepathon moving and git 'er done, Folks!
yes, as Stalin’s right hand man and boss of the gulag political prison system said so eloquently

It is a good point
Dems trying to lose to get rid of Hillary and Sanders.
Note ...rams/panther game 2nd half...more empty seats than fans.The death of a league in plain view.
Thanks. The media drives the terror cells on the streets. It hoodwinks the common ignorant Leftist. It moves the agenda.
The Squad is a media contrivance.
I’m sure some arguments could be made in reverse. I still think it’s a pretty sound concept.
Take care.
You do have a very good viewpoint. Just a part of the mass deceptiveness of society.
I think the the elected RATS are afraid of their own voters if they don’t talk of impeachment. They have nothing on Trump, and that’s why Pelosi nixes each of these impeachment proposals before they reach the House floor for a vote. Even that dimwit knows an impeachment vote will backfire on them, but how much longer can keep their unhinged lefties in the fold if they don’t truly pursue this and get it to a vote?
