"Conveniently a pending Senate Trial against President Trump for obstruction paves the way for the DC appeals court to rule in favor of the HJC need for supportive evidence."
"While twisted, this approach screams Lawfare…. that is, to make an indictment and then go fishing for the evidence to support that indictment. Evidence that, not accidentally, carries more political usefulness than the indictment it is intended to support."
"Also, it is worth remembering HJC Chairman Jerry Nadler hired Mary McCord as part of his contracted team effort. McCord was the DOJ-NatSec Division head who accompanied Sally Yates to the White House to confront Don McGhan about Lt. Gen. Flynn."
“I think people do see that this is a critical time in our history,” said Mary McCord, a former DOJ official who helped oversee the FBI’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and now is listed as a top outside counsel for the House in key legal fights tied to impeachment. “We see the breakdown of the whole rule of law. We see the breakdown in adherence to the Constitution and also constitutional values.”
“That’s why you’re seeing lawyers come out and being very willing to put in extraordinary amounts of time and effort to litigate these cases,” she added.
"My suspicion is the articles of impeachment are a means to an end, and not the end itself."
"Defeating and destroying President Trump is the goal, by any means necessary."
"This severe type of goal is not guaranteed by relying on a republican Senate to remove him. More extreme Lawfare measures are needed…"

Because the full House did not originally vote to authorize articles of impeachment the House Judiciary Committee never gained ‘judicial enforcement authority‘. The absence of judicial enforcement authority was evident in the lack of enforcement authority in House subpoenas.

Fake impeachment by a fake Congress on fake charges reported by a fake media.
Time for Pelosi, Schiff, and Nadler to meet Seth Rich and Elijah Cummings.
“The problem for the House team(s) is they need legal authority to obtain it and then utilize it to frame and attack President Trump.”
This seems like a stretch.
Since when has the DNC waited for proper legal authority to obtain weaponized counterintelligence information?
For four years, they have obtained everything they need illegally through deep state leakers, who are protected by congressional oversight prerogatives and “whistleblower” status. Then they launder it through the fake news to protect their sources.
Why would House Democrats bother working some clever slight-of-hand legal strategy when they can just continue cheating? Especially when it involves feigning a humiliating defeat that makes them look like utter fools on national TV?
No, I think Occam’s razor applies here: they didn’t feign anything - they are every bit the utter fools that they appear to be.
