House set to begin formal impeachment hearings

[Stopsignhank]

It is Pelosi's fault that he is being impeached.

President Trump, speaking at a meeting earlier today, said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi “wasn’t tough enough" to stop the impeachment inquiry.
Trump referenced some hesitation regarding impeachment from House Democrats.

“A lot of her members now are having second thoughts,” he said during his meeting with El Salvadorian President Nayib Bukele.

He later called the impeachment inquiry a “hoax” and “the continuation of the witch hunt.”

Trump always blames the leader.
So it is his own damn fault.

 

[cytg111]

Nadler brings up a good point. As Barr is mentioned in this call he must at the very least recuse himself (whether he will is another matter). Barr has also gone to ground and no one can find him.

Not even a mic drop? Hell no, Barr out? No?

So being politically adept is considered bad. Pelosi knows how to count votes. She was waiting for the inevitable political tsunami. I think she's the smartest politician in modern political history. Sucks to be Trump.
Edit: lastest count 217. 216 Dems, 1 independent.

Floor vote on impeachment or it's just more leftie masturbatory fantasy. Keep stroking it kiddies.

Funny how many Republicans started off by crying foul that impeachment hearings were started before they even had the whistleblower complaint in hand.

 

[squirrel dog]

Even funnier that the dims had the President tried and convicted before anything came out .

 

[ewdotson]

Even funnier that the Republicans have the President declared completely innocent even after his own memo blatantly demonstrated his guilt.

 

[interchange]

Even funnier that the dims had the President tried and convicted before anything came out .

Hell yeah! They should, like, open an investigation or something!

Sucks then that reality backed them then. It's hilarious that Trump is actually assisting in his own impeachment. That's dim.

There's no comment that can be made by pro-Trumpers that doesn't allow for an opportunity to shoot themselves in their own feet.

The transcript reads like a mob shakedown. It's extremely damning. To use 250 million dollars of tax payer assets to get a foreign country to provide you with a damaging investigation to your political rivals... I mean this is stuff you only see in fiction.

Except the Prime Minister of the Ukraine disagrees with that assessment. Who should I believe ? Assholes like yourself or the guy that was actually there for the conversation?

 

[imported_tajmahal]

Umm...impeach the motherfucker now.

Acting DNI threatened to resign if White House prevented his open testimony before Congress


The acting Director of National Intelligence threatened to resign over concerns that the White House might attempt to force him to stonewall Congress when he testifies Thursday about an explosive whistleblower complaint about the president, according to current and former U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

Except it was a fucking lie.

Acting intelligence director Joseph Maguire denies he threatened to resign if White House stopped him from testifying

Acting DNI Joseph Maguire's testimony comes amid a firestorm over President Donald Trump's call with Ukraine's president.

Damn you assholes are gullible.

The Trumpkins are flying into a panicked frenzy over this and rightly so.

I have been thinking about taking these kinds of posts to a hyperbolic extreme in reply for a while. I think it could be very effective. It works for conspiracy theories. Just keep filling in the holes with more conspiracy logic until it becomes obvious that the whole thing is a house of cards.

He just threw Pence into the mix in a way that pleases me.

If this ends with President Nancy, I mean... beautiful, it's all just very perfect and nice and wonderful.

Adam Schiff here ... pretty powerful stuff.

It sounds like they are ready to send forth the sgt. at arms to get things done.

Schiff: Memo on Trump's Ukraine call reflects a 'classic mafia-like shakedown'

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff tells reporters that he is shocked that the White House would release the notes on the call with Ukraine, and wonders how they think it will help President Trump's case. Schiff refers to Trump's call as a "fundamental betrayal of his oath of office."

Does Trump sound different here?

Never fear, Donnie Boyo, your best friends from Russia will help you keep your job in 2020 and Moscow Mitch will make sure your friends have a free hand in doing just that.

Have we covered this little tid bit already?

The fact that Barr crimed himself?


* Well hello there cytg111, this is the police, this is Officer Johnson and I am McClane. We have a report here that suggest you robbed a bank yesterday! What you think about that?
* (me) Arh forget about it.
* Allright sir, all forgotten. Have a nice day.

More holes in the White House official story every hour—looks like military cleared corruption concerns for aid to be released in May...so no reason for Trump to hold the funds in July.

I think we all need to step back and realize that believing the Republican narrative about this whole thing requires me to believe that Donald Trump is so overwhelmingly concerned about corruption in Eastern Europe for reasons that don't affect him that it was the sole topic of conversation in his discussion with the Ukrainian president, and yet not a single mention of Ukrainian corruption that did not involve Biden was discussed at all.

Am I really supposed to believe that the issue that Trump cares deeply about is Ukrainian corruption?

No Quid Pro Quo!

Deep state!

Hillary's emails!

Witch Hunt!

Nevermind the fact that Giuliani was hired to consult on Kiev mayor’s campaign and has a damning conflict of interest with respect to his work undermining Ukraine’s anti-corruption body.

Sometimes, it hard to see the forest for the trees.
Lets stand back here and ask WHY IS IT that Donald Trump ALWAYS seeks out foreign governments to help his agenda?
Trump would rather befriend leaders like Putin, Kim Jong Un, and now it comes out Volodymyr Zelensky.
WTF Donald? WTF?

Is it that Donald Trump so hates America because Trump feels American law and American justice forced Donald Trump to file for bankruptcy so many times to save his ass? Where Trump lost both money and creditably?
Later... evidence shows that Trump then sought out foreign governments for money and financial salvation to save his ass.
Is this what its all about? That Donald Trump would rather befriend communist than support American institutions and American law because American law was "mean" to him in business?
Appears so......
And certainly goes along with the thinned skinned and revengeful nature of Donald Trump.

And by the way, again over at Fox News.....
Now claiming that Donald Trump should have a say in whether the house impeaches, or not.
In other words, Trump broke the law, the house decides to follow the impeachment process, and the law breaker should have a say in the matter? If it should proceed or not?
Seriously?
Thats like saying a crook that robbed the bank should have a say-so in whether the crook is prosecuted by law enforcement, or nay.
Bat shet crazy....
