Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, will testify before the House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday, Nov. 20, as part of the impeachment probe into President Donald Trump.

Starr didn't back pedal. He was carelessly misquoted all day. He never predicted GOP Senators would ask Trump to resign. The context of his comment was that is what some hope, but based on what we've seen so far that won't happen.
Where were these stat dept golden boys at benghazi???
Uh, yeah “ they leave no one behind...”
Hideous Fed beaurocrats..that’s it..have to turn it off
I know. It's a hypothetical that explains a possible way to impeach without the Senate taking it up. It is contingent on not voting to impeach in the House until next October.
The only way to defer it in any way is based on the first post in this thread that I responded to with this hypothetical, which suggested that Nadler would take up the hearings after Schiff is finished.
Would Pelosi call for the full House vote on impeachment based only on the Intelligence Committee hearings? I doubt it. I also doubt the Senate Judiciary Committee would accept articles of Impeachment as legitimate from anywhere other than their counterpart House Judiciary Committee.
Can Nadler hold his hearings in the Judiciary Committee between now and mid-December, with Thanksgiving and Christmas recesses coming up? Maybe, maybe not. That's only about a three week window of opportunity to get it scheduled, get witnesses lined up to appear, etc.
So, if Nadler were to hold "official" impeachment inquiry hearings at all, it would likely be in January 2020 at the beginning of the second session of this Congress. At that point, I'd think that Pelosi would want it all wrapped up by Super Tuesday in the first week of March.

Exactly - nicely put.
For closing, Nunes yields back to Schiff “for storytime hour.”
Burn!
Schiff is doing it again, “Trump and Guliani threw acid in a woman’s face!”.
Projection much?
I do not feel sorry for Schiffty one second!
He deserves all of history’s condemnation and then some!
When are they officially scheduled to start Christmas recess? How many “working” days are left this year?
I’d like to hear “Sir, have you no shame??!!!” from one of the GOP.
Nunes is one of the great ones.
Oh I hope with my whole being this piece of Schitt gets what he deserves.
Now he dares to speak of hypocrisy, really?!!!
Corruption, corruption, says the one who REALLY knows about being corrupt.
And the Schitt Show is over for the day.
I do not agree with you.
Two words ... Ed Buck.
Make that four .... + Standard Hotel.
Evening session was a nothing burger, though NYTimes and mockingbird MSM got their soundbite.

Breaking News: Ukraine officials may have been aware of the hold on security aid much earlier than initially known, undercutting a key defense of the president.
Did anyone get to see what happened after the MSM dropped coverage? What a little piece of Hitler Schiff he is when no one is looking.
