Democrats Vow To Continue Impeachment Investigations Regardless Of Senate Outcome
daily wire ^ | 12/16/2019 | Ryan Saavedra

Attorneys representing House Democrats have told a federal court that House Democrats intend to continue impeachment investigations against President Donald Trump after they vote on impeachment this week, regardless of the eventual outcome of the Senate’s impeachment trial.

“In a filing to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, House General Counsel Douglas Letter argued that the House’s demands for grand jury materials connected to former special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation were still urgent because such evidence might become relevant to the Senate’s expected impeachment trial next month,” Politico reported. “But Letter went further to note that even apart from the Senate trial, the House Judiciary Committee intends to continue its impeachment investigation arising from the Mueller probe on its own merit.”

In the court filing, Democrats accused the Department of Justice (DOJ) of essentially engaging in a cover-up to protect Trump, claiming that the DOJ took an “extraordinary position in” the Democrats’ impeachment investigations by not “disclosing grand-jury material needed for the House’s impeachment of President Trump and the Senate’s trial to remove him from office.”

Democrats’ insistence at continuing to investigate the findings of the Mueller probe comes after Attorney General William Barr said last week in an NBC News interview that “there was and never has been any evidence of collusion.”

House Democrats have said in recent days that there is no limit to the number of times that they can impeach the president

Of course they do. Let them meet a real election.

It’s clear more “Whistleblowers” will come up with claims. There’s no downside, whatsoever.

One guy got a book deal for an anonymous story.

Lindsey Graham wants to protect the “Whistleblower,” and he’ll spawn five more.

Lindsey Graham wants to keep his Dem friends happy by not calling Schiff.

There’s no price.

Ok, then it will turn into a retarded game. You impeach and send to the Senate, we vote to immediately dismiss. Rinse and repeat.

That would only serve to make them look even more stupid than they already do.

Is it time to use the 2nd. Amendment? Isn’t this the kind of situation the Founders meant for it to be resorted to? I’m not being flippant here.

Just keep digging? More reason for the American people to vote the Democrats out.

Where. Is. Durham.!!

If something could be released indicating criminality now, impeachment could be stopped!

Massively frustrating......

2020 should tell the tale. Surely if publicised widely that statement would be seen as very negative by anyone with even a shred of decency. Digging deeper and deeper holes for themselves seems to be a preoccupation for these fools! They cant seen to ever bow out gracefully and really while they might be legally correct that they can keep on trying to impeach they will pay a price for it at the election box - if they dont then you really are screwed!

The Rats are never going to give up. They are never going to apologize for the wrongs they have committed. The entire party is a criminal enterprise and they all know the first rule of the con is never give up the con. Unfortunately when our “investigators” require a written admission of guilt never giving up the con works!
