Express Impeachment: Schiff gives committee 24 hours to read his impeachment report and sign off By Monica Showalter, December 2, 2019
Rep. Adam Schiff is a man in a hurry.
After taking his time to cherrypick just the best witnesses from his basement hearings, he held a swift set of public hearings, which drove public support down for impeachment and now he's slapped together a report for the House intelligence committee to vote on, giving it all of 24 hours to vote.
Sound like a fair process?
Actually, sounds like a desperate Democrat with a bad case of Trump derangement syndrome whose priority now is an oncoming election train headed in his direction.
House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) is giving members of his committee just 24 hours to read and sign off on his report recommending articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump.
As Breitbart News reported Friday, House Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler has previewed the report, and suggested it will include claims of “collusion” with Russia — as well as Ukraine, Russia’s enemy.
And as reported Saturday, Schiff will provide the full report to committee members on Monday, who must sign off on Tuesday in time for the first hearing in Nadler’s committee on Wednesday, which will discuss the supposed constitutional and legal basis for impeachment.
It is a foregone conclusion that Democrats will sign off on Schiff’s report. Evidence does not seem to be the top priority for Democrats: a majority favored an impeachment inquiry by August 1, eleven days before the so-called “whistleblower” sent a letter to Schiff complaining about Trump’s phone call with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky.
So, why the incredible rush? I've read that it's in order to get impeachment done before Christmas, but that doesn't really answer the question. What do the dems see as gaining by getting it done so quickly, given that it goes to the Senate once they sign off?
Quote: EdJames wrote in post #3I still think that they are racing to do as much damage as possible before the Horowitz report and any "announcements" by Durham-Barr.
I think the Horowitz report will be a mealy-mouthed dud (and, I hope I am wrong), but the Durham/Barr information will be an entirely different animal. We haven't heard anything about when the DB results might be coming out?
