Face it, the current proceedings are extra-legal and amount to nothing. Once the House votes to hold impeachment hearings Republicans can defend the President. If liberals intend to hold impeachment hearings with Republicans muzzled something bad is going to happen, some type of revolt is my guess.
Yes - most definitely- in regard to the calling witnesses thing. The other thing is that Team Trump knows that the dems are trying to do a hit and run where you go in and smear Trump, then have it over by the end of October and then go back to campaigning on the issues. So if Trump can come up with some issues- and he has already- that need to go before the court he can drag that out with a couple weeks here and couple there. Which- not insignificantly- takes the dems into a time frame where they are at risk of having the horowitz materially dumped right in the middle of their little impeachment charade.
No to the extra legal statement and what they amount to. I’d like to remind you all that any member of the House can bring articles of impeachment to the floor for a vote. I actually think it was Bobby Rush that it last coincidentally. And that’s how they are going to run this, through the various committees as inquiries and brought to the floor by Pelosi. All 100% legal. I would not call it good form, though.
Democrats need to vote for it to put it in record. I am sure the voting public will remember who they are come November 8, 2020 when it is time to cast their vote. So far, the Democrats have engaged in trial by publicity which is call President Donald Trump all the vile names without even providing any proof to their charges. You cannot just slander someone without providing proof. Maybe, they will subpoena Joe Biden as he has that very incriminating video of him admitting to what he actually did! No more denying it now!
Rudy GiulianiVerified account@RudyGiuliani Oct 3 Democrats now own Biden corruption. His family has been selling Biden’s offices for 5 decades. From sleezy little crooks to doing business with Ukrainian organized crime, Whitey Bulger’s nephew, Chinese government, a Madoff type and lots more. All covered up by Corrupt Media
I'd say the gloves are off now. Trump's defense is to compare himself to Biden and let the public decide. I think Pelosi miscalculated how sleazy Biden's conduct would look or that they would have to defend it.

Will congress lock up Pence in the basement like the gimp? https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...f6d4a0-e627-11e9-a331-2df12d56a80b_story.html Live updates: House committees ask Pence to turn over Ukraine information for impeachment probe The House committees leading the impeachment inquiry requested Friday a long list of documents and communications from Vice President Pence related to Ukraine. Earlier, President Trump said that Democrats “unfortunately have the votes” to impeach him in the House, but he predicted he would “win” in a trial in the Republican-led Senate. “The Republicans are very unified,” Trump said, as he again insisted he had said nothing inappropriate during the July call in which he pressed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate former vice president Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden. Trump’s comments to reporters at the White House came as fallout continued Friday from the late-night release of text messages by House investigators, while another key figure, the inspector general of the intelligence community, testified on Capitol Hill behind closed doors.
