Here comes the circus: Raucous judiciary panel set to reclaim impeachment

2019-11-26

[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] The House impeachment proceedings against President Trump are soon heading back to the Judiciary Committee, where partisan bickering and theatrics during public hearings last summer prompted House Speaker Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Nancy <q>San Fran Nan</q> Pelosi

Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments...
to shift the investigation to the House Intelligence Committee.

The intelligence panel appears to have wrapped up a series of public hearings. No new hearings or depositions have been scheduled.

Under an Oct. 31 resolution passed by Democrats, the matter is supposed to fall back to the Judiciary Committee, which will hold its own hearings and draft articles of impeachment against Trump.

Judiciary Committee hearings, an aide told the Washington Examiner, "could begin in early December," when politicians return from the Thanksgiving recess.

The next step in the impeachment process will be to return the spotlight to Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, who had fallen out of favor with Pelosi after he conducted a series of raucous public hearings, including several he labeled "impeachment proceedings."

#11 Donk media generated astroturf public opinion would be a great leverage for the squish 'pubs in the Senate.

#10 Public opinion would be a great leverage for the squish 'pubs in the Senate. In fact the demoncrats were counting on it.

Oops.

#9 ^ even with all the squishes they'd be a far cry from 67% of the Senate.

This is a farce, an act, and Pelosi and Schiff know it.

#8 The idea is to spook or wear down just enough GOP squishes in the Senate to get a conviction.

They don't have to convince the American people.

The American people quite literally do not matter.

Only Pierre Delecto , Susan Collins, Murkowski and a few others matter to the Dems.

#7 #4 "infer" - what a complete and utter Shitshow.

This is spot-on:
Well, there’s a slightly less than strong impeachment position: Impeachment by “inference”.. he says. Previously Mueller and Weissmann attempted to prosecute President Trump, the fictitious horse-thief, for attempting to obstruct his hanging; now Schiff is inferring guilt because President Trump didn’t present alibis for his whereabouts when the fictitious horse wasn’t stolen…. Yup, it’s looking like a fail.

#5 If you think bug-eyed, if-Charles-Manson-had-a-son Adam Shiff made for bad television, wait until obese, greasy, 4'x4' Jerry Nadler takes over America's airwaves for 8 hours a day, every day.

#2 They know this is a huge backfire. Kick back to committee... vote there isn't enough evidence to impeach... vote to censure the president. Move on to 2020.
