Republicans on impeachment committees rip 'sham' process ahead of scheduled vote
Fox News ^ | Oct. 29, 2018 | Brooke Singman

The top Republicans on the House committees leading the impeachment inquiry into President Trump blasted the investigation as “illegitimate” and a “sham” on Tuesday even after Democrats scheduled a vote to formalize the proceedings — signaling Speaker Nancy Pelosi's decision to hold that vote will not assuage the GOP's process complaints.

House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes, R-Calif., Oversight Committee Ranking Member Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Foreign Affairs Committee Ranking Member Michael McCaul, R-Texas, penned a letter to Rep. James McGovern, the chairman of the House Rules Committee who announced his panel would take up an impeachment procedure resolution on Wednesday to “ensure transparency and provide a clear path forward.”

Nunes, Jordan and McCaul accused McGovern, D-Mass., of not giving enough time for Republican members to review the resolution ahead of the vote and continued to blast the inquiry as a whole.

I see the Leftist Fake News hate the truth being told about the Democrat Fascist Party’s attempt to stage a fake vote to validate their fascist secret kangaroo court.

What needs to be pointed out is that this is an authorization for the Judiciary Committee to proceed ion impeachment..

That’s the vote that hurts the Dems!

Sure, the rest is noxious, but it’s not politically key.

Sham?

Don't forget: these are the people who produced the fictitious and obscene Steele Dossier and tried to sell it as factual!

This is the quality of people we're dealing with.

Imagine the kind of people who would be drawn like a magnet to the kind of power that's concentrated in a place like Washington.

Now imagine the dregs of that, presenting their bilge.

That's what we're dealing with.

If it’s legal it’s not illegitimate.

And everything the House chooses to do concerning this process, or lack thereof, is LEGAL.

If it’s not an ‘impeachment resolution’, Trump doesn’t have to cooperate.

Nonsense.
It’s a political process and it’s legitimacy is/ and will be judged as such.

Almost anything they do is, indeed, legal- though Seraration of Powers doctrine sets a very broad, mostly insignificant, limit.

So they’re going to vote but the “rules” will remain the same? A sham indeed but now the public will get the true picture of what a bunch of lowlifes the Democrats really are. And, the freshmen Democrat congressmen will be enjoying their only term in Congress.
