US House to intensify Trump’s impeachment inquiry

2019-10-01

[PRESSTV] The US House of Representatives in Congress plans to intensify this week the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump
...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election...
over his request that a foreign power investigate a domestic political rival with testimony due from witnesses concerning allegations made by a whistleblower within the US intelligence community.

The Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff

...Showboating U.S. Representative for California's 28th congressional district since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, Schiff has served in Congress since 2001. He currently serves as the chairman of the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. In a manner reminiscent of Joe McCarthy, on March 22, 2017, in a interview with Chuck Todd on MSNBC Schiff claimed there was “more than circumstantial evidence now” that Donald Trump's campaign colluded with Russia." Todd followed up by asking if he had seen direct evidence of collusion and Schiff responded that there was "evidence that is not circumstantial and is very much worthy of investigation"...
, said on Sunday he expects the whistleblower, who has not been publicly identified, to appear before the panel very soon.

...at which point his identity will become apparent, which will make his/her/its life even more interesting...

Schiff said any effort by Trump to stonewall the probe could be used to impeach him for obstructing Congress.

The whistleblower’s complaint cited a July 25 telephone call in which Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to investigate Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
Joe <q>Foreign Policy Whiz Kid</q> Biden

Joe <q>Foreign Policy Whiz Kid</q> Biden

...The former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body...
, one of the leading Democratic candidates seeking to challenge him in 2020, and his son Hunter, who sat on the board of a Ukrainian gas company.

Democrats have accused Trump of pressuring a vulnerable US ally to get dirt on a political rival for personal political gain. Trump’s phone call came after he temporarily froze nearly $400 million in aid intended to help Ukraine deal with unrest by pro-Russia separatists in the eastern part of the country.

#8 An impeachment requires a vote they'll be held responsible for. An inquiry is a fishing expedition and kabuki

#7 They don't even have enough confidence in what they're doing to call it straight-up impeachment. Now they're using the weasel term, "impeachment inquiry."

What an absolute shitshow.

#6 They know they are toast in 2020. This is all they have to try to remove or at least tarnish Trump.

#5 Democrats have accused Trump of pressuring a vulnerable US ally to get dirt on a political rival for personal political gain.

No, that's the (D) playbook - make up some dirt on your opponent. POTUS is trying to uncover pre-existing dirt the Dems are still sweeping under the rug.

#3 Shitshow, Part 107.

Actual, flagrant, stinks-to-high-heaven corruption on the part of executive branch politician #1 is ignored in favor of prosecuting mythical, imagined, presumed corruption on the part of executive branch politician #2.

What a clownshow.
