House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) is giving members of his committee just 24 hours to read and sign off on his report recommending articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump.
As Breitbart News reported Friday, House Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler has previewed the report, and suggested it will include claims of collusion with Russia as well as Ukraine, Russias enemy.
And as reported Saturday, Schiff will provide the full report to committee members on Monday, who must sign off on Tuesday in time for the first hearing in Nadlers committee on Wednesday, which will discuss the supposed constitutional and legal basis for impeachment.
It is a foregone conclusion that Democrats will sign off on Schiffs report. Evidence does not seem to be the top priority for Democrats: a majority favored an impeachment inquiry by August 1, eleven days before the so-called whistleblower sent a letter to Schiff complaining about Trumps phone call with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky.
However, as the Washington Examiners Byron York has noted, Democrats are in such a rush that they are leaving potential facts out of their examination. For example, they could wage a court battle to force former National Security Adviser John Bolton to testify.

They have to sign it to find out what’s in it...
Never stop dreaming!
He should have given them to “high noon” to sign the impeachment or get outta town. Would have been more dramatic.
They don’t care. All they want is to hear the media say, “Trump, who was impeached, blah blah.”
They think that alone will cause President Trump to lose re-election.
Rebuttal witnesses? Low info voters won’t be watching. “Trump’s been impeached”, is enough for them.
Those who acted to stop their being put on the trains were themselves put on the trains, along with their families. A free and civil society is a fragile thing.
Schiff giving members of his committee just 24 hours to read and sign off on ‘his’ report....
Won’t they all still be on vacation?
Hes already referred people for indictment (McCabe et. al.), and they have been indicted. The DOJ is squeezing them as they seek to see how wide, deep (and high!) these crimes go. It takes time.
“Adam is in a hurry. Trying to get ahead of the mass indictments that will result from the IG report, and the subsequent cut-off of foreign aid kickbacks coming from Europe, Asia and the Mexican drug cartels.”
Not to mention “The News Cycle”
The impeachment FARCE will be driven from the headlines!
How true.
‘If I’m going down, you all are coming with me.’ That is how his brain works.
“I don’t see how they can proceed with mere “claims” - all they have is 2nd and 4th hand stories made up by people with an obvious political bias against the President. This kind of BS would not hold up in any court. In fact I’d expect legal council for the plaintiff to be reprimanded (at least verbally) by the judge for bringing such a waste of time to trial.”
Let them. Getting every dim possible to put their name on this complete opposite of due process might just be looked back on as the last step before the end of the plank for their party.
“They know every day this goes on it hurts them.”
What I don’t get is the optics of voting for impeachment just before Christmas are absolutely awful. Adam Grinch doesn’t play well.
“We have been hearing about the IG report for a long time. It isnt coming.”
It has been announced publicly that it will be released on 9 December (Monday - one week after Schiff’s Impeachment Report), and that the IG (Horowitz) will testify on it to the Senate Judiciary committee on Wednesday, 11 December.
from #2
“the mass indictments that will RESULT FROM the IG report”
Result:
“occur or follow as the consequence of something.”
“follow as the consequence of”
As in ...Indictments to follow, as the consequence of, the IG Report.
It’s only “English”. Not that hard.
Adam is in a hurry. Trying to get ahead of the mass indictments that will result from the IG report, and the subsequent cut-off of foreign aid kickbacks coming from Europe, Asia and the Mexican drug cartels.

pretty much sums it up, bernard
Yes, his is why there should have been several special counsels like Mueller to investigate. All we will instead get is hand wringing.
Durham is hardly in hiding — he is conducting his criminal investigation as professionally required — behind closed doors and with a grand jury. He just recently expanded it to include the Pentagon. Where have you been?
Everything is proceeding according to standards and procedures that allow for the best chance for convictions, including the Senate’s role.
Sen. Graham knows he must not proceed in any way that can compromise the other investigations and has stated numerous times that he must wait until the IG report is completed. Horowitz will be testifying before the Senate on December 11 regarding his report, which will be released to the public Dec. 9.
You can always trust York to come up with things that make conservatives want to say...”JUST GO AWAY, BYRON.”
The Demons would sign a report that said that Mickey Mouse was a Russian agent.
They can always “apologize” later....
Obviously shifty needs the vote before the IG report is released on the 9th.
The IG report needs to be released tomorrow.
Not a day later.
