The White House is launching a new effort to slow the speeding Democratic impeachment push, but its noncooperation strategy is being constantly thwarted by a daily stream of explosive secrets being spilled behind closed doors on Capitol Hill.
Current and former officials are painting an ever more damning picture of a wider than originally perceived scheme by President Donald Trump and his crew to pressure Ukraine that they warned could amount to a trampling of US law.
Vice President Mike Pence launched a new effort Tuesday to bolster White House hopes of stalling the House inquiry long enough for Trump to turn public opinion against it. He refused to turn over documents related to Trump's now notorious call with the President of Ukraine on July 25.

Isn’t a “secret impeachment” the same as an illegal coup? And if “Legal” is that flexible, why can’t we feed all Democrats into a blast furnace?

" . . . its noncooperation strategy is being constantly thwarted by a daily stream of explosive secrets being spilled behind closed doors on Capitol Hill."
Like what? If they had something, they would have revealed it. CNN is enabling - and actually participating in - the Dems' strategy of having closed-door hearings so that they can create an impression of massive wrong-doing without having to show any evidence of it.
What they have dribbled out so far is laughable: two whistleblowers reporting on a phone conversation that we've already seen the transcript of, and the EU ambassador saying that Trump told him there was no quid-pro-quo but that he "might" have been lying - he doesn't know. That's all they've got because that's all they've leaked. They are trying to base an impeachment on innuendo.

The “speeding Democratic impeachment push” which is proceeding at the rocket speed of a wounded turtle, is helped along by the incredible speed of Pelosi refusing to cll for a vote...*ROFL*

“Explosive secrets” from Fake News CNN. LOL. Too funny. There is no possible spin anybody can perform on the transcripts of the Ukraine phone call that can possibly modify the actual transcripts themselves. The secret hearings are just a circle jerk for DemocRAT and media consumption. Nothing can possibly come from it. We already know that ANYTHING newsworthy would be leaked immediately, not held in secret. It would be above-the-fold, huge bold letters proclaimed immediately. Secret means there is no “there” there.

Its a Star Chamber. Even CNN is admitting as much. Because they all hate the President, he doesnt even deserve the nicety of due process.
Got it.

Exactly. The Dems are trying to conduct impeachment by innuendo, and CNN is completely on board with them - they are participants. Zucker said so in his own words.
