House Democratic leaders are eyeing a fast-paced investigation into the possible impeachment of President Trump, instructing the committees handling the probe to wrap up their findings within weeks in hopes of concluding before the holiday season.
Some Democratic lawmakers and aides said Thursday, speaking on the condition of anonymity to describe private deliberations, that they believed impeachment articles could be ready for a House vote around Thanksgiving.

Don’t they need to have a vote first to author the process? They haven’t even done that yet.
Last holiday season before 2020 elections. I see what they are doing, smart on their part
This was all 100% planned
Ruth must really be doing poorly for the dims to try this approach.
Are they going to kill off 20 Republicans in the Senate and replace them with Democrats? Because otherwise this is just a meaningless exercise in Kabuki theatre.
Since when do laws matter/apply to democrats?
They know he wont be removed, it’s about damaging him just before the election.
I'm betting that they fail to get the votes.
This will only drive more Republicans and SANE Democrats to the polls to vote for President Trump.
“Are they going to kill off 20 Republicans in the Senate and replace them with Democrats? Because otherwise this is just a meaningless exercise in Kabuki theatre”.
BINGO!
“Because otherwise this is just a meaningless exercise in Kabuki theatre.”
Correct.
Except they are delusional enough to believe they can convince a majority of the American people and turn enough votes in the Senate.
They’re bat sh!t crazy and foaming at the mouth. Reason does not apply here.
Because everyone knows any Republican Senator who votes to convict, ends their career at that moment. Instantly.
AND they think it will solidify their base in the 2020 election.
Dems are going to impeach Trump no matter what. Always were. It’s the frog and the scorpion story crossing the river.
Bill Clinton’s poll numbers went way up after he was impeached.
They are going to ruin Thanksgiving for a lot of people.
Never heard of this guy but interesting take on Impeachment and Pelosi’s “Not so fast” position.
LET THEM GO AHEAD AND IMPEACH TRUMP….
HERE’S WHAT HAPPENS THEN……
By: Hyram F. Suddfluffel, PhD, (Political Science)
I have a degree in Political Science, and I am a card-carrying Libertarian.
I’ve been studying politics and political history for the past 30 years. My specialty is U.S. Presidents. That said, I hope that the House of Representatives impeaches Trump. Let me tell you what will happen next!
1. The House can pass articles of impeachment over the objections of the Republicans, and refer to the Senate for trial.
2. The Senate will conduct a trial. There will be a vote, and the Republicans will vote unanimously, along with a small number of Democrats, to not convict the President. Legally, it will all be over at that point.
3. However, during the trial, and this is what no one is thinking about right now, the President’s attorneys will have the right to subpoena and question ANYONE THEY WANT.. That is different than the special counsel investigation, which was very one-sided. So, during the impeachment trial, we will be hearing testimony from James Comey, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr, Glenn Simpson, Donna Brazille, Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, Christopher Steele, Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, James Clapper, and a whole host of other participants in this whole sordid affair and the ensuing coverup activities. A lot of dirt will be dug up; a lot of truth will be unveiled. Finger pointing will occur. Deals will start being made, and suddenly, a lot of democrats will start being charged and going to prison. All this, because, remember, the President’s team will now, for the first time, have the RIGHT to question all of these people under oath - and they will turn on each other. That is already starting.
4. Lastly, one more thing will happen, the Senate will not convict the President. Nothing will happen to Trump. Most Americans are clueless about political processes, the law, and the Constitution. Most Americans believe that being impeached results in removal from office. They don’t understand that phase 2 is a trial in and by the Senate, where he has zero chance of conviction. Remember, the Senate is controlled by Republicans; they will determine what testimony is allowed — and **everything** will be allowed, including: DNC collusion with the Clinton campaign to fix the election in favor of Hillary, the creation of the Trump dossier, the cover up and destruction of emails that very likely included incriminating information.
They will incriminate each other for lying to the FISA court, for spying and wiretapping the Trump campaign, and for colluding with foreign political actors, especially George Soros. After the Senate declines to convict the President, we will have an election, and Trump will win. It will be a backlash against the petulance, temper tantrums, hypocrisy and dishonesty. Even minorities will vote for Trump, because, for the first time, they will see that democrats have spent 2+ years focused on maintaining their own power, and not doing anything at all about black murders in Chicago, homelessness, opioids, and other important issues that are actually killing people. And, we will spend the following four years listening to politicians and pundits claim that the whole impeachment was rigged.
So let’s move on to impeachment.

Even Romney.
Yes they do.
“They know he wont be removed, it’s about damaging him just before the election”.
That will backfire on them. They won’t damage him, they’ll help him win. Their hate prevents them from rationalizing.
They’re in a rush against time and US intel operations being exposed in SpyGate and now the Ukraine Hoax.
So they have to rush because their ass is grass. But I don’t’ know if the gambit is plausible. CIA has a big problem here with its role in the Ukraine Hoax coming out sooner than later.
The Rats can’t be on the side of domestic interference by them but since they are already jackals, maybe they will dive in as they know it’s over regardless.
