(CNN) House Democrats are facing a time crunch to quickly wrap up their investigation into allegations President Donald Trump abused his office in pushing Ukraine to probe his political rivals, prompting growing expectations that votes on impeaching Trump could slip closer to the end of the year.
Some Democrats had hoped that a narrow probe -- focused on whether Trump put on ice efforts to bolster relations with Ukraine and provide US military aid to the country until it carried through with a political favor -- could conclude swiftly, with a potential vote to impeach Trump by Thanksgiving.
But that has proven to be more complicated than it initially seemed, according to multiple Democratic lawmakers and sources. The reason: Each witness has so far provided more leads for investigators to chase down, including new names to potentially interview or seek documents from. Plus, Democrats have had to reschedule several witnesses, including some this week in part because of memorial services for the late Rep. Elijah Cummings, and others because they needed more time to retain lawyers.

Yep. I say it fizzles out.
The DIMS are such pathetic losers . The are a s***_stain on America . What traitors and seditionists .
They really are;
Anyone still voting Democrat is scum and sick in the head.
What investigation? All they have done is hold secret meetings where no one but DemocRats are allowed to attend.
He enemy is from within....the choice will be sedition/treason charges or drop all Trump phony impeachment actions and thank your lucky stars.

B.I.N.G.O. We know one ting wit absolute certainty. There is no impeachment investigation because the House voted to create an impeachment investigation against Trump 3 times and failed 3 times. Wat is happening now is all smoke and mirrors.
Good points. Now they want their antics to hurt Trump’s numbers but it won’t work. In fact, it’s helping his numbers and drawing in new supporters and firing up the base more than ever.
People are seeing the Rats true colors and don’t like what they see.
Besides, there are no grounds for impeachment. Their phony charges haven’t worked and won’t work then.
The Rats are on Defense and defense doesn’t win wars or games.
In short, I don't know who the nominee will be. Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, Gore, and Kerry are all available. Carter is the only proven winner in the bunch but he's even older than Bernie.
They hope to hurt Trumps numbers but its backfiring on them.
How so? Didn’t hurt the Dems in the midterms. No criminal Democrats have been charged for their crimes. Factually, this bipartisan coup is humming along without a worry in the world.
“Factually, this bipartisan coup is humming along without a worry in the world.”
Except that it’s taking too long and it has failed many times before.do you seriously think they wanted to wait for the nested election? Yep hummingly along.
We should call and leak the amounts of the wire transfer, fancy vacate and baubles, and face lifts
Maybe someone with the FEC and SEC will leak receipts
Bribes R They
+Vacays
Rush Limbaugh says they have no intention of having a vote on impeachment. Because, as soon as they do, assuming they have the majority for it, it would then leave the House and go to the Senate. At which point they will no longer control the narrative. No more secret meetings, no more excluding the Republicans, no more cherry-picked leaked content.
The Republicans and Trump can bring in anyone, positive or negative, to present evidence. And if McConnell and Trump choose to do it, they can make this last a long time. ( I don’t think they will.) But this Senate trial could be very negative and uncomfortable for the democrats.
There is no such thing as a moderate Democrat. It is not going to quietly die.
I hadn’t heard that. Makes sense. Thank you.
The Dems are on Defense now and Defense does not win wars or games. T
“It is not going to quietly die”.
It’s not going to go anywhere, either. It’s going to go aimlessly on and backfire on the Dems.
Some think the Dems waste vast amounts of time through inefficiency and laziness. Enormous effort and elaborate planning are required to waste this much time.
It’s pretty damned inconvenient to have to wait for actual high crimes and misdemeanors.
