House Dems raise prospect of new impeachment articles, in court battle over McGahn testimony

The lawyer for House Judiciary Committee Democrats revealed in a Monday court filing that there is a possibility lawmakers could pursue even more articles of impeachment against President Trump -- despite having already adopted two of them last week following a grueling, historic and bitterly partisan debate.

The prospect of additional articles -- while perhaps unlikely -- was floated as part of a court battle over Democrats' bid to compel testimony from former White House Counsel Don McGahn.

Shortly before a 4 p.m. deadline imposed by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, the committee counsel filed a brief making their case for why they still want to hear from McGahn, despite having already voted for impeachment.

Democrats originally sought McGahn's testimony in connection with his claims to then-Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team that Trump wanted him to have Mueller fired. Trump’s critics claimed this request constituted obstruction of justice.

Some DEM idiots have said that they'll re-impeach him, and do so continually, as each one is turned down and he is acquitted, for the next 5 years.

The insanity of the House Dems has been completely uncorked--but there is a simple Legislative solution by the grown-up Republicans in the Upper Body.

Since the United States Constitution allows the Senate absolute authority to create its own rules in an Impeachment, the Senate can create a rule stating: "Due to a Democrat-controlled House submitting a series of frivolous, merit-less, expensive, and time-consuming Impeachment Articles, all subsequent Articles submitted by the House will result in an immediate acquittal and dismissal of the charges."

This Senate Rule would mean that each and every new article of Impeachment submitted by the Dem House would carry--implicit within it--an instantaneous acquittal of the President.

This new Rule can be removed when sanity again prevails in the United States House of Representatives.
