Democrats' new moves show House could wrap up impeachment by Christmas

(CNN) House Democrats are signaling they are now on a fast-track in their impeachment proceedings, avoiding court battles that could delay their inquiry and limiting the number of witnesses at public hearings -- all signs that President Donald Trump could be impeached as soon as next month.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has not shared her thinking on the final timeline with her colleagues, and Democratic sources say the timing is still fluid and could continue to evolve.

But in a series of moves this week, Democrats have shown they are rapidly moving to complete the proceedings by Christmas, something that could result in Trump being just the third president to be impeached in history.

The schedule became apparent in recent days after House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff, a California Democrat, announced that public hearings would begin next week and also suggested Thursday there's a limit to the witnesses they would call for the public hearings.

Just what you’d expect from a kangaroo court. Let’s get it over with.

I hope the senate makes this very long so that warren especially can’t campaign. It’d be awesome to have her sitting 6 days a week in chambers. Oh and senators can’t speak. They just sit there. Too bad Biden wasn’t still a Senator. Lol.

This ends by Christmas only if the Dems censure our President rather than impeaching him, on what would be a straight party line vote. With a censure, they can hold fast to the fabricated and flimsy storyline they have concocted and claim a face-saving victory.

No one is talking about censure, so I don’t want to predict it. But it seems to me that we are surely on that trajectory; and not on any trajectory that could plausibly lead to impeachment.

He sprang to his sleigh, and to his team gave a whistle And away they all flew like the down of a thistle But I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight “Keep America Great and remember the date!”

Merry Christmas to all!

That’s worthy of Christmas card status!

Send them to all my weak kneed liberal globalist relatives!
