The Democrat-controlled House Judiciary Committee announced on Tuesday that it is moving forward with Democrats impeachment hearings and has scheduled hearings for next week.
Chairman Jerry Nadler sent a letter to the White House on Tuesday notifying the Trump administration that his committee had scheduled its first impeachment hearing for next Wednesday, December 4.
The Committee intends this hearing to serve as an opportunity to discuss the historical and constitutional basis of impeachment, as well as the Framers intent and understanding of terms like high crimes and misdemeanors,' Nadler wrote. We except to discuss the constitutional framework through which the House may analyze the evidence gathered in the present inquiry. We will also discuss whether your alleged actions warrant the Houses exercising its authority to adopt articles of impeachment.
The Committee looks forward to your participation in the impeachment inquiry as the Committee fulfills its constitutional duties, Nadler continued. While we invite you to this hearing, we remind you that if you continue to refuse to make witnesses and documents available to the committees of jurisdiction, under H. Res. 660, the chair shall have the discretion to impose appropriate remedies.'

The POS will argue that the framers meant any misdemeanor is grounds for removal from office. They found parking ticket from 1992 that Trump had, so he must be impeached.
On a serious note, they will be arguing that the framers gave a lot of leeway in defining what constitutes an impeachable offence. They will have some business dealing of Trumps, that they will argue is grounds for impeachment.
Round them all up for sedition , put them in a prison.
Last night on another forum, a guy wished all Conservatives could be sent into space.
My thought was, “Why? You folks are already lost out there.”
The Penguin is going to discuss the Constitution? That fat slob couldn’t defend a jay- walking ticket without screwing it up.
This actually sounds like stall tacticshow many days is the House in working session in December?
Then we are in an election year.
Correct. Dems want to drag impeach out until at least January in the House. It could also be due to the news yesterday of a House Dem publicly waffling on impeachment. She got back on the Dem impeachment plantation today, naturally.
This is leading to a censure vote, nothing more, nothing less.
Give Democrats an inch and they take a mile. We ave to asssume they will impeach and insist the GOP substantively support POTUS. Otherwise the GOP Senate will hit the snooze button and the Dems will be free to gaslight their narrative unopposed for months.
Remember: wherever they set the bar it will be used against a Democrat President in the future.
Remember: the previous GOP nom for POTUS defacto supported HIllary Criminal and her SCOTUS in 2016. The GOP sees no foul play here from Democrats because Trump and his supporters are the victims.
GOP is going to handily take back the house, gain in the Senate an Trump is going to win 35+ states.... The electorate has seen what these people are doing.. and believe me, they are going to punish them severely.
Unfortunately, that is wishful thinking. Most people are not paying attention to the beltway theater day to day. The House GOP already has 19 retirements. The Dems have also picked up a few other House districts through recent lawfare court rulings. It’s very unlikely the GOP takes the House in 2020. The most likely 2020 scenario is we get what he have now: Trump win, GOP hold Senate and Dem hold ouse. I’d be happy with that after the biparitsan coup POTUS has faced.
Sundance has a good piece up on the Conservatuve treehouse! it goes against HOUSE own rules because SHIFF is not done with whatever it is he is doing. Sundance suggested WH counsel not participate in this sham. My feeling if thats the course they take they need to be all over the media saying why they are doing what they are doing because theoptics are well nadler is allowing WhiteHouse lawyer so why is that wrong? Well it’s wrong because like everything in this impeachemant its all cart before the horse

“Many of my fellow Enlisted Freepers have responded in this ancient military code after dealing with Jr. Officers!”
Hell, I used to be able to send it in Morse.
High crimes and Jaywalking. It’s right there in the Constitution.
I think your fingers and keyboard got mixed up.
Here is the word you were searching for.
SHIT.
Let's not insult law-abiding, patriotic fat dumpster piles of sh*& by equating them with a fat dumpster pile of Nadler.
more hearings ... pretty much what i predicted ... and no way should President Trump dignify the Dems’ kangaroo trials with his presence or participation ...
How does the article I legislature “censure” the article II executive? It doesn’t work that way.
Ah geesh MORE inquiries!
I'm thinking this is her last Christmas on this side of the grass.
