The House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday night began the "markup" process for the two articles of impeachment against President Trump that they have settled on, barreling toward a final floor vote even as moderate Democrats have floated the idea of backing down in favor of a censure resolution.
Almost immediately, the evening proceedings broke out into fiery disagreement, as the panel's top Democrat declared that it would be unsafe to wait until the 2020 election to remove Trump, while the ranking Republican slammed Democrats for attacking Ukraine's leader because he undercut their case against Trump.
"We cannot rely on an election to solve our problems, when the president threatens the very integrity of that election," House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., said in his opening statement, claiming that Trump's discussions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky about Joe and Hunter Biden's lucrative dealings in the country, and the White House's temporary withholding of military aid to Ukraine, constituted an "urgent" threat to national security.
"This committee now owes it to the American people to give these articles careful attention," Nadler said at the beginning o the markup for the impeachment articles, which include obstruction of Congress and abuse of power.
Nadler said there were three key questions for Congress to evaluate: Whether the evidence clearly shows that Trump committed the acts alleged in his dealings with Ukraine, whether the acts rise to the impeachment standard of "high crimes and misdemeanors," and what are the consequences for national security if Congress fails to act.
The top Republican on the panel, Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga., shot back that Democrats have been trying to impeach Trump since he took office. He echoed the White House's argument that the impeachment was politically motivated theater, long in the works and foreshadowed openly by Democrats...

That’s a mouthful to say.... just think of what he is saying.. what he believes... what he’s been doing for 3 years... he really thinks an election is worthless and the people have no rights .. he can do this and overrule every law and the constitution.
This is the way a coup works... it’s just that this coup didn’t happen with military coming in and taking the President.... this one took 3 years, so far, and they are doing it by using the camera and the media... taking 3 years of 24-7 lies to the ‘dumb’ people who they don’t want to ever vote again.. control... control... that’s what they want .
I'd pay to see that - if the salami has a dozen or so 50d nails driven through the business end.

The humpty dumpy loser nadler is in ill health and elderly...likely he will soon be gone. So sad...
When they round up the coup d’etat conspirators, Nadler will hang himself with his own seditious words. Completely and utterly tone deaf!
Guns up
We comin’
He has to. He’s the Head Hypocrite, Keeper of the Narrative, and Leading Liar, in addition to Monomaniac Muckety Muck, all official posts in the Constitution of the Crap for Brains.
So many good soundbites for Trump Ads. Even in 2016 the best publicity Trump got was from the Democrats.
the White House’s temporary withholding of military aid to Ukraine, constituted an “urgent” threat to national security...
nadler and schiff are in for one RUDE awakening if they keep f..king around.
They will have us DEAD in a SECOND.
No one forget that.
Trump is pulling the curtain down and the great and mysterious oz doesn’t like it one bit.
I shudder to think how true that is.
Pray for President Trump and the future of our country.
A bunch of people need to go out there and see Mr. Nadler, push him, get in his face, and tear him up. If you see Nadler, push back on him. Tell him he's no wanted here anymore! Get in his face. Tear him up! When they bring a knife, you bring a gun. I'm not saying that. That's everything Obama and Maxine Waters said.
Fat Jerry Nadler’s hatred and lies are gonna make him go the way of Elijah Cummings.
Probably Nancy Pelosi will keep it up until then, too.
Trump managed to get the real face of the Dems out on the surface! They hate democracy, due process, the laws and everything the USA
[we are living in very dangerous times.]
You can say that again.
Nadler’s latent Marxist is now rising to the surface in the form of a totalitarian attitude against the Constitution and the will of the American people re elections.
Surprised he was so stupid to have said openly what he has been thinking and working on for decades.
This penguin belongs in a zoo or jail, not Congress. I’d prefer the fourth alternative, the grave.
That obviously is photo-shopped. The real picture makes him look even worse IMHO. What a clown.
I figured it was - but it was too funny to pass up, LOL
The demons are frantic because they know their time is short.
