House Democrats have released the text of an impeachment resolution currently scheduled for a Thursday vote. On Monday, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the legislation is aimed at ‘affirming the ongoing, existing investigation that is currently being conducted by our committees.’
According to the resolution, the three Democratic-led impeachment panels are directed to continue their probes into the Trump administration’s interactions with the Ukrainian government to determine whether a quid pro quo or other impeachable offenses have been committed.
It also allows the GOP to “question witnesses for equal specified periods of longer than five minutes” for up to 90-minute sessions. Still, Democrats will be able to deny witnesses. If that happens,
“…the ranking minority member may submit to the chair, in writing, any requests for witness testimony relevant to the investigation described in the first section of this resolution within 72 hours after notice is given for the first hearing.”
It also allows Republicans to subpoena witnesses and materials related to their inquiries - which Democrats have the right to decline. If that happens, Republicans can appeal to the committee to hold a vote - which should be predictable given Democratic control of the House.
So, while this diminishes Republican claims that they are being denied due process, Democrats will ultimately control who testifies, and what can be subpoenaed.
Furthermore, “The chair is authorized to make publicly available in electronic form the transcripts of depositions conducted by the Permanent Select Committee,” which is no guarantee that will happen.
Once the investigations are complete, “The Permanent Select Committee is directed to issue a report” setting forth their findings, “and any recommendations” regarding impeachment. The report “shall be prepared in consultation with the chairs of the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Committee on Oversight and Reform.
Moreover, the resolution “authorizes the Committee on the Judiciary to conduct proceedings relating to the impeachment inquiry … including such procedures as to allow for the participation of the President and his counsel.“

This is just too funny! Can you say “pick and choose” by the Dems, and if not STALL or “oops never received request”. Pathetic Nancy.
I love the idea Chuckie! I know President Trump would not shut down the government to spite this “coup”, but since Nancy and Chuckie, along with the DEM House clowns have done nothing BUT push this “coup”…

Shut down the government, let these idiots play out this “coup” BUT their Money tree dries up. Why give these idiots their salaries or their money they will use to “buy” votes, if they REFUSE to do the American People’s business.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!
JUST IN FROM THE FRONT post and share this https://rawconservativeopinions.com/2019/10/30/the-plundering-of-ukraine-by-corrupt-american-democrats/
Thank you for posting this. Interesting article.
Yep Dems/Rinos LOVE to plunder other Countries. That’s their version of the NWO. As they plunder other Countries, they allow other Countries to plunder us. And if we, American citizens, who DO NOT want to hurt other Countries, but to LOVE and LIVE in our Own, are called “mean”. Kind of like this:
https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2019/10/30/wasserman-schultz-to-cuccinelli-trump-admin-pursuing-heinous-white-supremacist-ideology/
Wasserman-schultz, the one that allowed a lap top to be lost (wink, wink) and computer spying (congress) is call me a white supremacist for supporting President Trump.
“Wasserman Schultz added, “You want to block all immigration and make life harder for immigrants, and you have demonstrated you will pursue this heinous, white supremacist ideology at all costs.”
Cuccinelli said, “I am not a white supremacist, as you alluded, nor is the president.”
Wasserman Schultz shot back, “You have white supremacist followers.”
Illegals are my hang up. Don’t care what color, gender, etc. but if you BREAK OUR LAWS you need to go! And with plundering other Countries, the result is we get illegals and they (elected officials) get rich personally, along with family members and friends. We loose and then are hated by other Countries. because of these scam artist globalist elected officials.
Hey Nancy, ever check into that “lost laptop”. Nope didn’t think so.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!
This is not democracy.
This is a train full of BS.
If retardlicans ever tried to establish one sided rules like these, the D-RATs would be howling at the moon.
Damn D-RATs—-this is another BS D-RAT abomination!
So reading this how does that make it any better than what they are doing now. They can ask questions but they don’t have to allow them to testify or they can deny requests for information. If the Democrats really want this a open and fair inquiry there should be no rules as of who testify what information is allowed and be open and honest. Still looks like a witch house to me and I’m a Democrat.
Sir god bless you ya just woke up this is what these turds want what your seeing is full on TDS, problem is there is a much higher source at work here and it does not matter what they do it won’t work president Trump will be our president for another 4 yrs and you can take Gods word for it because God is the one that put him in the white house. This is how it works believe it or not when god wants to get something done he won’t choose a righteous person to do the deed , he will choose a person that’s not to holy in this case he chose Trump.
Be rest assured all they try will roll off President Trumps back like water off a ducks feathers.
…here is what you get: if the vote approves to declare an impeachment inquiry, then it will actually legal, and it forces the Republicans to cooperate; you are correct, nothing else changes, they just realized it would be better for THEM to vote and declare…I do like the idea (I actually posted something similar the other day) about shutting down the country, but the country does not deserve that; so why not declare a National Emergency, fund what is absolutely necessary (military, banks, utilities, etc.) and not pay government workers or any ongoing investigations, also include funding for sanctuary cities an states, Planned Parenthood, and Abortion…maybe when they realize they are the ones getting fucked for a change they will decide to become normal…
Dumbocrats will lie, are liars, will continue to be liars, aslong it favors their agenda, themselves.Fair,honest,transparent never gonna happen in this century.
I have NEVER heard such crap before!
Leave it to the Demo-rats to get that low!
…ever heard of mind derangement, socialism, among other nasty isms including Nazi and Muslim evils? tie them all into one movement and label it dimwitocraps…very non-grounded, scary individuals…kind of like ISIS terrorists without the loaded diapers on their heads…
As usual the Democrats do not have to comply with law and the Republicans do one side disgusting idiotic leftist fools. V
I have asked about a one thousand Democrats if they believed in impeachment! Virtually everyone said no! I was asking in smaller towns and rural areas. The big cities, quite unproductive seem to want total control of our government.
This is outrageous. What everyone here should do is e-mail Pelosi and tell her what an evil, wicked old woman she is and that she leads a bunch of clowns. Don’t know how to get in touch with old Nance? Just Google: how to contact Speaker of the House. I wonder how the Democrats up for reelection in districts that Trump won feel about this. According to what I’ve read on various political sites, they are being taken to task by their constituents about this bogus “impeachment.” Maybe if enough people e-mail old Nance and express extreme disapproval (and throw in a “never gonna vote for a Democrat ever”) she might realize what a fool she and her clowns are being.
She already knows! She don’t care.
This is the biggest witch hunt on our President I have ever seen,How many times did the former President communicate with other countries and he never was put in an impeachment charge , Hillary has not convicted how come personally I think our President deserve better than this. Democracts are Socialist and they are destroying our country.
TIME TO SHUT DOWN THE GOV CALL THE MILITIA TO GET READY TO STOP THIS COUP WITH FORCE IF NECESSARY
So the Dims are demanding an UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER against the Republicans to take down the POTUS. The Dims have proven this is a partisan attack since they have been investigating everything TRUMP since before the 2016 election. In the end they will claim the whole investigation was applied fairly and equally.
I’m sick in tired of non Patriots of our Country telling the American people that a criminal act has happened when evidence shows there’s none ! Our money is going down the drain or the pockets of thieves. 30 + million dollars dollars and still spending !!!! Come on Republicans !!!
Republicans dont have balls they have tiny marbles.Now they wont let this impeachment happen.but still the marbles.
It’s not balls, it’s the numbers in the House. They don’t have the majority to do anything.
Anything Pill-osi and Schiffty comes up with will not pass the Senate.
They are slowly but surely reaching their goal of America as a Communist country. Since seizing power in 2018 they have made sure to destroy our Democratic Republic. No matter who wins an election in Venezuela Maduro remains in power. Same in Soviet Union somehow. In China Xi stays as long as he wants. North Korea Kim is there forever. No matter what Republicans do they will be overruled by the Dems. The people must realize this and vote them out of office They are more of a danger than people think and are ruining America. Give the people back our voice. It has been taken away from us for far too long.
Well said! So true!
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!
Exactly..Dumbocrats want a government run country.our forefathers wanted this country ran by the people not the government.Big government will destroy America if the Muslims dont first.
My tenure as a registered Democrat is over. Haven’t voted for one for many years for President or for NYS Governor. Besides the Democrats seem hell bent on turning the USA into something more like Cuba. But with fewer rights….. I’ll vote in the primary for Tulsi Gabbard and then become an independent. Comey has set a new low in Government Bureaucrats. He should join Hillary Clinton in jail! Obama was worthless as a President just backed very Islamic featured sell out possible. But the. He planned on running the world out of the United Nations! What a bad place our mass media has put us in….all the hype to destroy America!
The trouble with voting for any ‘third’ party is that it will throw more weight to one the other major party candidates, most-likely a demonrat. If you really want more of a conservative government, stick with Trump at least 4 more years.
So true. New Jersey tried a “third” party for Governor and the Dems and Republicans went nuts and made it really hard for a “third” party to run in this State ever again.
Stick with President Trump! He’s more conservative than most of the rinos who say they are conservative. “Insurance policy” for the Dems and Rinos isn’t working very well, lol.
Just think where this Country would be without all the drama of the “coup”. USA is doing better now and WILL do better under President Trump in the next 4 years.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!
This piece of crap is no better than what they are doing now. So basically, the Chair (Adam Shifty Schiff) can VETO witnesses and or questions and they can appeal but since the Dems are Majority members on the committee, well, I guess we know how that will go! This is ridiculous and any GOP member that votes for this is CRAZY! And I hope that any Democrats in States or Districts that Trump won will think about how this will play with their constituents!
Pill-osi is trying feverishly to avoid what’s coming with the IG and Durham reports. There are SO MANY demonrats tied to the mess in the Ukraine, and she herself has accepted boatloads of cash from Ukrainian oligarchs.
This is all smoke-n-mirrors. She made her “Impeachment” vote announcement to take the victory over ISIS away from Trump. Getting the lame-stream media to talk about ANYTHING else was her goal. And, it keeps the lemmings at bay for a few more days . . .
None of this mess will effect Trump, and none of it will pass the Senate. McConnell will shut it down in a matter of hours. He has to hold a ‘trial’ with the SCOTUS chief justice, but he can limit the time allotted. A few Demonrats have said they will vote “No” already, so we’ll just have to wait and see.
I wonder how much longer Pill-osi will last before she has a complete mental breakdown? She’ already BSC . . . The cognitive-evil-side of her brain still functions though.
The hateful neverTRUMP corrupt demoncrats impeachment resolution

Let’s keep our country try great. You work for us not your own pockets. As a American citizen this is the first time that I am ashamed of one branch of our legislation . WAKE UP AMERICA ! !!!
Democrats are setting themselves up for a massive rebuke in the 2020 elections. Americans, those not infected with TDS, see the truth and will voice disgust using the vote.
Democrats have nothing. No evidence for impeachment, no accomplishments to tout, no plausible ideas to sell, nothing. Soon they will fade away as a bad memory. That is what happens when you give up on God. Maybe they should rethink that position.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/10/31/cnn-fantasizes-about-mike-pence-getting-caught-up-in-impeachment-president-pelosi/
Sorry Nancy, lol. CNN can fantasize all they want. You, like Hilary, will NEVER be president. Have fun holding on to the Speaker job as well, lol.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/10/30/democrats-reject-republican-amendment-requiring-turnover-of-exculpatory-evidence-in-impeachment/
17 Rejections. Not surprising at all.
“The (Democratic) chairs of those committees must consult with the ranking member of the (Republican) minority, but seem to have wide discretion over what they transmit.”
Is this kind of like a secret SOS server? Is this kind of like spying and a fake dossier?
Change the rules and STILL are treasonous AGAINST the American People and their representatives. They will give us what THEY want us to see? Gee, kind of like dictators in a Communist/Socialist type of government. Far cry from what a REAL USA Government is all about.
That “57 States” guy and his UN partners really want the USA dissolved, don’t they? Can’t stand an actual AMERICAN President in the White House. lol
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!
With what the demon-rats stand for they will loose, Fight and get this out,now,You stupid Democrats killed the water to hydrogen inventor why? I hope you know your damnation is in hell, Hillary said in 2005 ( that the average democrat voter is just plain stupid, they are so easy to manipulate, that’s the easy part ),It looks like Trump is an oil company stooge to selling us out, you stupid retarded Trump, The only thing that will bring us out of this depression is free energy, hydrogen from water, you can make all the hydrogen, as you drive from a tank of water, you know our space shuttles,are powered by hydrogen / oxygen made from water, tell every one not buy a new car / truck, to boycott the auto company’s, when they can’t sell their pieces of junk low mileage vehicles, they will have to bring out water to hydrogen powered vehicles, and kits to change the vehicles now that we have, just think what our world would be like with free energy. a Porge vapor carburetor sitting in the patient office that gets around 200 mpg, Volkswagen diesel gets 264 mpg, The water to hydrogen auto inventor wouldn’t sell out to the demons from hell oil company’s so the Democrat gov. had him murdered with plutonium poisoning, we are getting ripped off by the oil company owned auto company’s Don’t you think it’s time to take our world back.Once free energy gets out all prices for every thing will drop.
Also audit all the Senator’s and congressmen, they have wasted, and stole our money, make them repay all, and tax them.

“Regardless of any errors in judgment that anyone may have made, it’s shameful that she’s been exposed to public humiliation by way of cyber exploitation.”
A freshman gets caught with a staffer BREAKING her job’s ethic rules and Nancy is upset because it was exposed, lol.
Wow, but it’s OK to damage a ELECTED PRESIDENT for 3 years with FALSE information.
Nancy, you need to go away. Personally a cell in Gitmo would be perfect with the way you “view” ethics. You have NONE!
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!
Sec 2 of this farcical document states terms for open and transparent proceedings somehow I don’t relate open and transparent to the lying Demoncrats.
“It also allows Republicans to subpoena witnesses and materials related to their inquiries – which Democrats have the right to decline”. But not stated here is the fact that the Republicans have to first submit a request in writing and get approval from Shifty to subpoena. If this is not Communist Rule of Law what is it, because it is sure not in the Constitution that you have to ask for permission for “DUE PROCESS”. Those who voted for this should be impeached for defying their Oath of Office, and Treason, let alone a COUP De ta.
