House Democrats have neither voted to commence an impeachment inquiry nor established rules for such an inquiry. As a result, Adam Schiff has been free to decree whatever arbitrary procedures he desires. Only, as Congressman Dan Crenshaw points out in the video below, Schiff’s procedures actually violate the House rules on committee records:

In the video you only see the relevant rule briefly, but here is a screen shot: http://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/HMAN-116/pdf/HMAN-116.pdf (couldn't get it to copy)....Title:

Rise up and fight back! Vote all Dems/Socialists out of office...don't buy into their lies.
The Demonicrats are traitors to the United States of America. The traitorous Demonicrats are aided and abetted by the fifth-column leftist media, the DeepState, and the RINOcrats.
Korrupt Klown Karnival more like it
Read the Constitution. You can’t have it both way, either we abide by what it says or we don’t, and according to the constitution they’re free to make up their own rules on impeachment, just as they are doing. And the Senate is equally free to make up it’s own rules for how to try an impeachment case.
They will not vote to impeach because it would risk their majority in the house, and once the Senate gets the impeachment they would have the powers to hamstring their members running for president - not a risk the dems want to take.
Instead, they will complete their “investigation” with enough “evidence” to impeach, release whatever they please, and say they will let the people decide in the next election.
The Senate could short-circuit this with their own public investigations, but I do not see this happening. Pity . . .
“The House shall chuse its speaker and officers and have the sole power over impeachment.” I find nowhere in that language that the sole power belongs to the speaker, or that a committee chair has the right to set the rules as he sees fit. When the Constitution states the “House” it means the whole house of representatives
Excellent point!
If our Republican representatives were not such chickens and would stop peeing their pants every time a Dumbocrat called them a racist or some similar name and instead fight back and stand behind ALL other Republicans who are attacked instead of pulling a Romney and trying to become the darling of the press at the expense of the Republican Party and the citizens who voted for him might just get somewhere. I would like to see a Republican movement to shame the voters of Utah for electing such a buffoon. While we are at it we may as well add Alaska, Maine, and North Carolina to the shame list. How those people can call themselves a conservative or even Republican and vote for these traitors is beyond me.
