House Judiciary Committee to hold 1st impeachment hearing for President Trump

ASHINGTON (AP) — As they investigate President Donald Trump, Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee will hold their first official hearing in what they are calling an impeachment investigation.

Corey Lewandowski, Trump’s outspoken former campaign manager, is scheduled to appear Tuesday to discuss the report by former special counsel Robert Mueller.

But it’s unlikely that Democrats will get much new information. A devoted friend and supporter of the Republican president, Lewandowski isn’t expected to elaborate much beyond what he told Mueller’s investigators last year. Mueller himself testified this summer, with no bombshells. Two other witnesses who were subpoenaed alongside Lewandowski — former White House aides Rick Dearborn and Rob Porter — won’t show up at all, on orders from the White House.

The hearing underscores what has been a central dilemma for House Democrats all year — they have promised to investigate Trump, aggressively, and many of their base supporters want them to move quickly to try to remove him from office.

Democrat Party is headed for the cliff despite vast majority of voters seeking an end to impeachment.

I hope they press ahead with it.

Lewandowski should pull a Mueller and answer every question with, “I will refer you my answer in the report”.

There are 35 Democrats in House districts won by Trump. Voting for impeachment would be the literal kiss of death to the Democrat House majority.

But its the inmates running the Democrat asylum who are pushing ahead with it.

“Government” has gone off the rails.

“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.” - Declaration

Yeah, Impeaching a President while there is a Crisis - Stupid!

Most Americans have moved on since Mueller - Double Stupid!

DemocRATS appear to have done NOTHING FOR US AMERICANS - TRIPLE STUPID!

DemocRATS propose things that will Destroy Jobs and the Economy while the Economy and Jobs have just taken off - DOPEY LEVEL STUPID!

The DemocRATS face is Three Lunatic Congresswomen "The Squad" - Ultra Leftist. The Nancy Pelosi as bogeymen ripe for Republican Ads. Catastrophic Level STUPID!

And was I unclear? STUPID!!!

Democrats should start working FOR the US. They used to work for America. Not now. We know Nadler lacks objectivity and everything he does is aginst the President and only against the President. He is the shame of the House.

More power to them!

Time to crap or get off the pot.

The entire country needs to wake up to the rat position, removing a duly elected president because they do not agree with him politically.

The rats do not realize the options are voting, or tanks in the streets.

MOST OF THE STRATEGIES USED BY THE DEMS COMES STRAIGHT FROM THE MOUTHS OF CARVILLE AND STEPHANOPOULOS. MOST OF THE DEMS CAMPAIGN PLAN IS BASED ON THEIR IDEAS.

If I were the GOP, I’d be encouraging them. I wouldn’t cross witnesses. I would do all I could to speed the committee hearings up, draft articles of impeachment and get them to the floor of the House ASAP. Once there, is help to pass them.

Because once this hits the Senate, the tables will be turned. It will also change every Senatorial campaign into a referendum on impeachment and Trump. I think I know how that comes out.

The House has done NOTHING for America since day one Trump. (Senate is equally worthless.) Their only agenda has been to get Trump and it’s DISGUSTING. Even in the Reagan and Bush derangement eras it was not this bad.

If only a bolt of lightning would come down and strike Nadler right about now. His opening statement is the ultimate of hypocrisy.
