The House Judiciary Committee released on Saturday a report that attempts to define what the founders of the Constitution meant in their impeachment clause, days after the Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) asked the committees chair to move forward in impeaching President Donald Trump.
The 52-page report, titled Constitutional Grounds for Presidential Impeachment (pdf), is meant to act as a guide for impeachment as the committees Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) prepares to draft articles of impeachment against the president.
The report was drafted by majority staff and provides details about the history, purpose, and meaning of Article II, Section 4, of the Constitutionthe impeachment clause.
House Democrats are investigating in their impeachment inquiry allegations that the president had leveraged his office during a call with Ukraine in July where he asked the Ukrainian president to look into corruption accusations on former Vice President Joe Bidenwho is running for president in 2020.
The release of the report comes after the House heard from a panel of four legal scholars to provide their understanding of what they think are impeachable offenses and how to apply it to the facts. Many of the academics had previously criticized Trump or have defended the impeachment against the president. The empaneled scholars drew criticism from the presidents allies and opponents of impeachment due to their apparent anti-Trump bias.

This is waaaaaay out of line.
Who cares? Let them write their articles of impeachment. I cant wait for the clown circus to be over.
Bring it on!!!
“Prepared by Majority Staff”. That makes it TOTALLY partisan.
Yup. Partisan vendetta. It has no legitimacy and credibility.
They can write all the reports they want til the cows come home.
President Trump will remain in office.
I just read the 55 pages.
It is a steaming pile of Jabba the Nadler.
It is simply fantasy...
This impeachment hoax is not going to feed a single hungry child.....
1 hearing and no fact witnesses.
At what point do event the brain dead Democrat Fascist Party PR bots in the Fake News wake up to what a total clown show this is?
Where are the explicit charges?
I was waiting to hear them. Apparently, Democrats are still figuring them out.
So this BIG news is that they are going to tell us what impeachment is?
What a bunch of baloney.
The only reason the Democrats could have for continuing this baloney is that theyve done some horrible things and they are trying to hide them.
No mercy for them.
Exactly! Let them put it out there for all to see. Attempting to nullify our votes for President Trump, 63 million American Citizens, having to look on as our votes are being potentially dropped into the garbage can. Bastards!
Is anyone watching the Ukraine special by Chanel Rion and Rudy Giuliani on OAN? Its really good and if those witnesses are real it will bring the house down. At least the DNC portion of the House.
In essence, this campaign against Trump before and after his election is really a long political campaign to cover this and other of their failures.
When do we have the schitt, Nadler, hunter, Biden roast
No crimes were committed, but by all means dhimmikkkrats proceed.
Starring in Gone with The Wind
LOLOL!!! 100%...
