Don't expect a vote on the impeachment inquiry tho, as testimonies are proceeding and subpoenas are being issued without it.
Don't worry, we weren't expecting the cowardly Democrats to play by the rules.
These rules?

Quote:
Article 2, Clause 5: Speaker and other officers; Impeachment

The House of Representatives shall choose their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.

Section Two further provides that the House of Representatives may choose its Speaker and its other officers. Though the Constitution does not mandate it, every Speaker has been a member of the House of Representatives.[33] The Speaker rarely presides over routine House sessions, choosing instead to deputize a junior member to accomplish the task.

Finally, Section Two grants to the House of Representatives the sole power of impeachment. Although the Supreme Court has not had an occasion to interpret this specific provision, the Court has suggested that the grant to the House of the "sole" power of impeachment makes the House the exclusive interpreter of what constitutes an impeachable offense.[34]

This power, which is analogous to the bringing of criminal charges by a grand jury, has been used only rarely.[35] The House has begun impeachment proceedings 62 times since 1789, and nineteen federal officials have been formally impeached as a result, including: two Presidents (Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton), one Cabinet Secretary (William W. Belknap), one Senator (William Blount), one Supreme Court Associate Justice (Samuel Chase), and fourteen federal judges. Also, notably, impeachment proceedings compelled the resignation of President Richard Nixon.

The Constitution does not specify how impeachment proceedings are to be initiated. Until the early 20th century, a House member could rise and propose an impeachment, which would then be assigned to a committee for investigation. Presently, it is the House Judiciary Committee that initiates the process and then, after investigating the allegations, prepares recommendations for the whole House's consideration. If the House votes to adopt an impeachment resolution, the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee recommends a slate of "managers," whom the House subsequently approves by resolution. These Representatives subsequently become the prosecution team in the impeachment trial in the Senate

Do those rules suggest that the Democrats to behind the door meetings that no one knows what the *** is going on.

Did the rules suggest that you impeach a President because you don't like him.

Did the rules suggest that we waste our time on a third rate hack website with about four people on it.

Of course, I won't believe it until it is confirmed on Twitter.

That's all the proof I need.

So all this he said she said *** is just that. ***.

And no one is going to go into a voting booth trying to remember some ***that happened almost a year ago.

They will tune into the debates right before the election then make up their mind....probably.

Generally when trying to make an argument, it's best to be concise. Posting a wall of text from Wikipedia doesn't make a point. It's basically just saying, "I don't know what any of this means, but I bet it proves you wrong somehow!"

You could save time by just saying, "You're wrong because the internet." Sure it's a crap argument, but at least people might read it. Maybe even Fone!

Wrong set, that's the US Constitution not the House rules.

See each chamber of congress has a separate rules committee that writes the rules of order, which is a list of how that chamber conducts itself. These rules include how sessions are opened, how talking time is divided up, how bills are presented and handled, how other committee's are divided up and who gets to decide the membership of those committees. All those administrative details are wrapped in large sets of rules that are created by the rules committee. One of the "rules" was about requiring a 2/3rds vote to bring to cease discussion on a topic, meaning once 66% of a chamber decided they were done discussion the topic could then be brought for a formal vote. Meaning 34% member could, in theory, hold a topic up indefinitely for "discussion", this tactic used to known as a filibuster.

Notice how that's not really a thing anymore? That's because the House and Senate rules committee voted to remove that rule, otherwise known as the "Nuclear Option". Don't see that written in the US Constitution do ya. One of the many rules of the house is that Impeachment proceedings happen after formal discussion and simple majority vote. The results would be a formal impeachment committee being formed from members of both parties. Think of it as a temporary committee charged with the job of investigating the alleged acts and drawing up articles of impeachment, and then later acting as the prosecution for those articles in front of the Senate. This is all done for transparency and to maintain an official record. Republicans followed these rules back when they stupidly went after President Bill Clinton.

In this situation the Democrats are just ignoring all the house rules and doing secret closed door investigations where Republicans are being kept out of. This is straight up Nazi / Stalinist / Chinese tactics used by authoritarians to prevent anyone challenging them.

Now the Democrats *could* have the rules committee vote to change the rules, it's a simple majority vote and they have that on the committee. They won't because it would create a record of them abusing their power, a record they couldn't narrate out of history via control over WaPo, CNN and MSNBC.

Also, this is a complete lie. For example, Fiona Hill is testifying right now, yes its behind closed doors, but all the committee Republicans are there and being allowed to ask questions like any other closed door hearing. Fake tough guy Matt Gaetz tried to attend despite not being on any of the 3 committees, naturally he was tossed out.

Any impeachment effort that does not allow the congress to cross examine the findings is not one that the people will take seriously.

Its all a hoax.

In actual Syria news, facing a genocide brought on by being abandoned by the USA, the Kurds cut a deal with Assad today, whose forces are moving north to combat the Turks. Meanwhile, hundreds, soon to be thousands, of ISIS prisoners have escaped. Welcome back ISIS.

Reminder, this isn't true at all. Shocking right?;Congress does have the authority to jail people through inherent contempt. I don't think it's ever been used, but the authority is there.

Also it looks like the Democrats are refusing to admit any Republican member of congress to their secret interrogations and booting any that do make their way inside. We've gone full 1984 guys, it's not even a parody anymore.

Also CNN CEO and other high level executives have been filmed discussing their anti-trump bias and how the network will only put out anti-conservative news.

YouTube Video Placeholder


So yeah the propaganda arm of the Democrat National Committee.
