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.

Simple majority only in House to impeach.....Supermajority in the Senate to convict and remove from office.
I think the dems need just a simple majority for impeachment in the House.
In the Senate, a conviction needs two-thirds, or 67 senators to vote for a conviction. Twenty Republicans would have to vote for conviction.
Someone once posted and said the vote in the Senate required two-thirds of those PRESENT.....don’t know if that is true.
If the president is removed, all hell will break lose.
Impeachment and removal from office are two separate things.
The House impeaches, the Senate tries and removes.
Slick Willie was impeached by the House. Tried in the Senate & didn’t get the 2/3rds need for removal. (Note not a criminal trial!)
A Bill of Impeachment takes a simple majority in the House.
I knew this was coming the day after the 2018 midterms.
Senate trial with a 2/3s vote for removal I just don’t see happening for a number of reasons.
Rat goal on all of this is to draw an equivalency between Slick & Trump. They have their IPOTS, if they succeed the we will have ours!
“Do you think the President was speaking in code?” Good grief LOL
The latter will never happen.
If the evidence against Trump was really overwhelming, he would be told to resign to spare the Senate the ordeal of voting to remove him.
Democrats have nothing. And in a Senate trial, they don’t run the show.
Let them do their worst.
Sondland nodding along with Jordan. I think he is conflicted and clearly fears for his business. Democrat witnesses intimidation is working again.
Why don’t the repubs play the Biden tape? Quid pro Joe it’s called.
“Quigley compares the whistleblower to someone who pulls the fire alarm. Hence no need to investigate him. Perhaps the guy who pulled the fire alarm is the one who set the fire.”
Perhaps there was no fire.
Democrat witnesses intimidation is working again.
I did listen.
I heard Sondland quote President Trump as saying, in regards to Ukraine, “I wanted NOTHING!”
Of course the worthless media, the propaganda arm of the RAT party, will never report the “I wanted nothing!” comment.
It would be seeing Schiff start the fire and only an anonymous source on paper was the witness against him.
not supposed to post ben’s cartoons.
There is no fire. There isn’t even smoke.
Democrats would love to have had Trump’s confession on tape as the topping on the impeachment sundae.
With their non-existent case they will have to work with maybes, hypotheticals and assumptions.
That’s all they have.
You’d think tgat would be game over.
Just remember that in 230 years of our glorious Republic no President HAS EVER been removed from office by the Senate.
“And replace them with?”

Clear your cache/cookies and go try it again.
definitely should be looked at. and absolutely should be removed from the WH.
If it was only impeachment by the House, yes.
Removing an elected President is extremely difficult for good reason and Democrats haven’t met that burden of proof.
To review, no quid pro quo, no bribery and nothing criminal. Not that they haven’t fruitlessly tried to find it.
Impeachment is still DOA.
I agree ... we should play the Biden clip every time Burisma is mentioned.
Shiff’s brains will explode, but we should demand it.
