So Now What On Impeachment?

[gnadfly]

Over the past three days Schitt has replayed the same testimony he's already had but with the Republicans able to ask questions and on TV.

So? No new "bombshells." The Dim witnesses are difficult to look at. They are routinely torn new assholes.

This is going on through Christmas? I don't think so. Football playoffs and Bowl games will crush it.

I read were the President's approval rating went up 2% and Fox is leading in the Impeachment Inquiry viewers. Nervous Nancy better pull the plug soon.

At least the Dim are identifying their undercover agents for elimination.

So why did Nancy let Schiff lose?
To let a dim who may compete for her job as speaker in future get trashed?

Nancy is in an odd situation at this point. She promised AOC and her ilk to only do one more stint at speaker which ends in 2022. She is also 79 and possibly considering retirement herself.

She is worn and looking tired.

Her thoughts at this point could be anywhere.

As for impeachment, the left is getting crushed and the public is quickly losing interest.

I guess the "f" is close to the "t" on a keyboard

I read were the President's approval rating went up 2% and Fox is leading in the Impeachment Inquiry viewers. Nervous Nancy better pull the plug soon.

2%? wow-wee.. what is that, 41% now? of course Fox is leading.. one right-wing station, vs. 4-5 Leftists.. the math is on their side

At least the Dim are identifying their undercover agents for elimination.

the left is not getting crushed.. the Public has never been interested. only political-junkie types really give a rat's ass about any of this.. it is boring, tedious, and a long way from resolution.

Haven't you been paying attention? We've been promised bombshells since Mueller. The Deep State agents have stuck their heads out and, along with their facilitators, be eliminated.

Like CT! It's not fitting in the one hour plot wrap up timeframe.
You aren't going to win an impeachment battle with just "political junkies."
You aren't going to win impeachment with a Rep Omar BnG plot line either.

by who? Pencil-neck?

the hearings are in the early stage. too soon to declare the outcome. I know your side has been flailing from the beginning, declaring "nothing burger" shit, and what not.

of course Trump won't be found guilty after impeachment. everyone knows that, yet you guys seem scared shitless of the process.. refuse to let witnesses appear.. why is that?

Its not the let them appear thing.
Its the precedent setting thing where congress could end up questioning everything admin does.

I disagree.

the right spins every morsel of this inquiry. the old "what will it lead to next" argument is folly. Bolton, Mulvaney and the rest were on the phone call, they are legitimate witness material.

I think Trump knows he is cooked it he lets them testify.

Maybe we could bring in Obama to answer that one.

White House political director refuses to testify

President Obama's top political adviser in the White House, David Simas, will defy a subpoena to appear before a House oversight committee Wednesday, setting up a political and legal confrontation over the scope of executive power.
As an immediate adviser to the president, Simas "is immune from congressional compulsion to testify on matters relating to his official duties and will not appear" at Wednesday's hearing, White House Counsel Neil Eggleston said in a letter to Congress Tuesday.
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., had sought to compel Simas to testify about the White House Office of Political Strategy and Outreach, which Obama reestablished in January. Specifically, Issa wants to know what the White House was doing to ensure it complies with civil service laws forbidding executive employees from engaging in political activity.
He said Wednesday's hearing would go on with or without Simas.
Issa said the White House was flouting previous court rulings that said White House officials don't have absolute immunity from testifying. In 2007, the Senate Judiciary Committee subpoenaed White House Counsel Harriet Miers to testify about the controversial firings of U.S. Attorneys. An appeals court upheld the subpoena, but said Miers didn't have to discuss privileged information in response to questions.

By "cooked" you mean that if those two testified 20 Republican Senators would vote to convict? Aren't you on record saying that isn't going to happen? So what do you mean "cooked"?

cooked, meaning impeachment is inevitable. I said conviction is not going to happen.

I could only take 10 minutes of it. These people need to learn how to cut to the chase. It's the most boring thing ever.
