House approves legislation setting up rules for impeachment inquiry
MSN News ^ | October 31, 2019 | Reuters

Posted on 10/31/2019 8:51:37 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Update: Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives secured enough votes on Thursday to pass legislation setting up the next steps in the fast-moving impeachment process involving Republican President Donald Trump.

The vote is the first formal test of support for the inquiry that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi launched on Sept. 24. The impeachment inquiry focuses on whether Trump pressured Ukraine into helping him in his 2020 re-election campaign, a charge the president denies.

Previous report:

WASHINGTON - U.S. lawmakers will cast the first vote on Thursday in the impeachment investigation of President Donald Trump as the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives takes up a measure that sets up the next steps in the fast-moving effort.

The vote will be the first formal test of support for the inquiry launched on Sept. 24. Democrats, who control 234 seats in the 435-seat chamber, need a simple majority to approve the resolution.

The measure calls for public hearings and the release of transcripts from closed-door proceedings. It also outlines what rights Republican lawmakers and Trump himself would have to participate as the process moves ahead.

The “Political Death Cry” and the first step was taken in destroying the Democrat Party Politically and internally took place today in Washington DC as the house voted to go forward with the self-destruction of Democrat Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, the entire Democrat Party, and all it’s announced candidates that are running to defeat POTUS, Donald J. Trump!!!

My predictions of Biden failure, Warren failure, Sanders failure has already occurred, and the rest of the Candidates are also failed candidates but...are not worth any mention whatsoever!!! Hillary Clinton will not save the Democrat Party...neither will Michelle Obama or, Oprah Winfrey.

Pelosi has clearly fashioned her own political downfall and loss of the Speaker slot. If the Democrats had any street sense at all they would dump Pelosi right now, shutdown the Schiff, Nalder etc, impeachment activity...take the upcoming defeat in election, 2020 and start rebuilding a failed collapsed political party they now hold!!!

Furthermore scores and scores of all species of Democrats in both the House and Senate have signed their own political death warrants today as they will lose their seat come November, 2020!!!

The failure of the Democrat Party and it’s lock step fake news media to accept the election of Donald J. Trump as POTUS in 2016 was the a death knell handwriting on the wall for all to see. Game over for Democrats!!!

Face it...fellow Americans....the Democrats have no viable Candidates to run for POTUS, they have no campaign money compared to Trump, they have no crowd support like Trump rallies, and they have not one communicator as effective as Donald J. Trump is and has become!!!

The Democrats led by failed Pelosi and a failed Media are failing themselves...yet, they do not have a single clue as to the bad shape they are all in. Democrat Senator, Joe Manchin knows it plain & clear as the nose on his face...and he himself has said the same.....period!!!

Like the civil war that resulted when all the statues were taken down and monuments?

That was quite the uprising.

I fear it’s just a lot of bluster and talk.

Maybe even from me. I hope not.

That is precisely my point— come after them. Make it like the time Dan Rostenkowski (the speaker at that time, dem) was chased down a road from where he was to speak by a group of senior citizens whom he was intending to yet again raise the taxes on social security benefits (which was what bill clinton started, btw) at the same time they were cutting the benefits.

I agree find out the real stuff on these clowns, demand audits of them, their personal perverted actions and morals when appropriate. Go after them, like the flying demons in the Van Helsing movie. They should have nightmares and the public be properly truthfully informed. We’ve had it with these clowns.

I think going after them is what decided them on Coup Part 2.

If Barr is what people say he is, ethical, and they knew who was being questioned and what questions were asked by Durham, they had to make louder noise. They’re writing the script Democrats will parrot forever.

What interests me is will a) Flynn case break the story wide open and/or b) will Durham/Barr fight to the bitter end. There are a few pols who don’t pull punches, Trump, Nunes, Grasseley. Trying to remember another.

Levin read from the Perry writer’s “Real Clear Investigations” on the so called whistleblower who is a 33 year old moron millenial who was kicked out of the WH for eavesdropping and leaking back in 2017.

His associations are with biden, DNC, and schiff and whole lot else, and worked at cia after kicked out of WH. He wasn’t on the call with Ukraine— only heard about it from one of the translators— namely this Army guy who knew the whistleblower from when he was at the natl. security council before the clown was kicked out of the WH.

The Army guy is Ukrainian-american and went, or was rather coordinated by brennan to meet with this millenial cia whiner with the “concerns” that became a hearsay whistleblower complaint (not even possible, except the IC IG changed the rules so they could file hearsay complaint)- that started the “impeachment inquiry”. Entire thing is a false sting of fabrication— just like the dossier. Complete fabrication and fake narrative.

Here’s the article and it is well investigated and verified— and we’ll never see this in the media, until someone juices it to the media-— the dudes name is Caramella... Here:

Here is additional info on the whistleblower fraud from FR posted thread from Heavy.com. It’s a bundle and belly full.

Key point is— he was involved deeply in the Ukraine fraud and influence peddling—as an aide to Biden as VP in the Ukraine with all the stuff Biden bragged on. IOW the corruption discussed on the President’s phone call to Zelinsky— was this “whistleblower’s” corruption.

He’s highly motivated to push the Trump fraudulent “phone call whistle” complaint because he will be EXPOSED by the investigation Trump asked Ukraine to do. And thus so would Brennan be exposed- as Brennan went to Ukraine under an assumed name passport (this is documented).

I can picture that ugly mug of Brennan’s smirking when he throws this boy under the truck. The kid is being guarded by government agents, the Sperry article says. Sounds like he is in Durham’s Witness Protection Program.
Nice that the twin Ukraine boys embedded in NSC stepped up to help the Dem program. Wouldn’t it be lovely to see those questions you’ve asked tackled by Paul Sperry next?

Yeah, and there’s more in the Ukraine connection. Inside the Heavy.com article there’s a video of Louie Gohmert questioning a candidate for Puerto Rican Debt finance manager— who is

American born Ukrainian, and was in State Dept.and World Bank and was, as an American, appointed Finance Minister of Ukraine and simultaneously given 2 years Ukraine citizenship to do this. 2014-2016.

Gohmert asks this Natalie Maresko if she knew anything about Eric Sciaramello, and she didn’t. But it’s odd she was the Finance Minister, since her dad was son of kulaks starved to death in the Holodomor, who emigrated to the US (like the twin boys with their dad). Maybe 2nd generation isn’t anti-Russian, and thus more democrat, though time was when there were fierce anti-Soviet democrats (but they are long gone). But as Finance Minister (have to check the dates) she must have known of the corruption (or double frocked, state, and see eye a, who used the Ukraine as a bank for dems, under Brennan again). The Politico article from 2017 identifies the Ukrainians working with hitlery against trump- pro russian ukrainians (at crowdstrike?).

I just think the whole thing stinks of Russian intrigue working with the corrupt ukraine/russian connextions to the democrats.

It's convoluted even for me and I've been keeping up with the story! Frankly, the most upsetting thing that seems clear is that Hillary/Obama crowd manufactured a crisis in Ukraine (a country desperate to stay out of the Kremlin's control) in order to destabilize it and as you've suggested, deliver on Obama’s promise to be flexible after his last election. It wasn't obvious just what Putin wanted. Putting it all together, Putin wanted the Crimea most, and got it. And those people, like the Libyans under a more stable Khaddafi, lost a chance to live in peace and prosperity. Colin Powell said something to the effect that Hillary screws up everything she's involved in. The depth of their incompetence aside from their depraved powerlust is the real story.

I am an independent (not registered in any party) but the support the Republican base has given Trump at amazing levels 90+% is what is keeping these #NeverTrumpers in line. That makes the GOP base the real heroes in all this - my complete respect and gratitude to the GOP loyal base. I don’t trust the GOP Establishment one bit.

So God bless the GOP base.

What “High Crime and/or Misdemeanor” are they accusing the President of? What did Trump do that is illegal?

He won the Presidential election in 2016

Likely rullz

No Republican input need;
No Republican may ask questions;
No White House lawyers;
Accused may not have a lawyer present;
Accused obviously guilty until someone tries to exonerate him;
Accused may call no witnesses, since guilt is a forgone conclusion;
House Intelligence Committee members will instruct other House members on acceptable voting procedures and votes;
Any votes to not impeach will be very closely scrutinized and likely be discarded as spoiled ballots.

A Guilty verdict will result in immediate removal from office as well as all those associated with the Accused. No Senate trial necessary. House Member and Speaker Nancy Pelosi will assume the Presidency until a suitable replacement for the Accused can be Found and Installed.
