House Democrats near 'tipping point' on impeachment as Pelosi faces crucial week
CNN ^

Posted on 09/23/2019 6:59:36 PM PDT by springwater13

House Democrats are nearing a "tipping point" on impeachment in the wake of the Trump administration blocking a whistleblower complaint's release to Congress, with moderate Democrats who have resisted calls for impeachment privately indicating they could be swayed. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who sharpened her rhetoric over the weekend, is still not committing to moving forward with impeachment proceedings -- though she is keeping the door open. The reason: The substance of the complaint is not yet clear. And it's still unclear how the Trump administration will respond. Multiple Democratic sources told CNN that if the White House completely stonewalls Democrats for the information, it will make the calculus easier for moving forward with impeachment proceedings. But if the White House provides a transcript, or seeks to muddy the waters in its response, that could make it more challenging for Democrats to unify behind impeachment, even after President Donald Trump's admission of discussing Vice President Joe Biden and his son in his phone call with the Ukrainian leader.

They are nearing impeachment but don’t yet have a charge other than they hate him.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

speaking of impeachment.....

there are plenty of charges that could lead to impeachment of:
barack hussein bin soetoro
bumblin gropin joe
hildabeast

iirc, past office holders CAN BE IMPEACHED eventhough they are no longer in office, but impeachment can preclude them from ever holding office again????

anything to this???

“Imagine if Trump Jr. was pulling in $50,000 a month for a corrupt Ukrainian business.”

...and blowing most of it on cocaine and prostitutes, as Hunter’s wife testified in their divorce.

Haven't they been tipping since January of 2017? (Perhaps it started earlier, but even they'd have to admit that calling for impeachment before someone's been sworn in is a bit loopy. But then again, I could be wrong about that last part.)

Everything but the siren. To think he revolutionized the news and in the end is just another prostitute.

She’s creating the illusion of giving it fair consideration so there will be less whining when she tells them it’s not happening.

“..I see IN NO WAY, to avoid an all out civil war at this point. All it needs is the spark....”
The old Democrat Party has been overtaken by communists. This new communist party is pushing....and pushing hard to destroy our country, our way of life, our culture and our future. IMHO, anyone that supports, votes for and/or condones this new communist party has, in essence, renounced their U.S. citizenship. When these communists get the NRA’s membership list and red flags EVERY SINGLE MEMBER, the counter pushback is gonna be something to behold.
It quite possibly could be the “spark” of which you speak.

If he did, the media would only publish the Democrat response.

Try $138,000 a month for 2 yrs for the Biden/Harkonien clan.
Not to mention 1.5 billion dollars from China, which wouldn't be transferred without the approval of the state.

Unlikely and unnecessary. A less sanguinary blood-bath would be inevitable in November of next year, and I suspect that that scares them more than the one you prefer. Let them go ahead, though. I double-dog dare them, as one Judicial Committee member recently said.

Now just a cotton-pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. That’s legislative privilege; i.e., they’re in the legislature, so they get to spend your money hushing up things they don’t want their constituents or wives to know, and you don’t get to find out a thing about it. Executive privilege is as nothing against legislative privilege.

Questions like:

"When Mueller was head of the FBI, when did he know about Hillary's server?"
"When did he know about the unsecured SAP programs on it?"
"When did he know foreign governments accessed those programs?"
"When did Mueller choose to look the other way?"
