Th point of the statement is that it isn't a criminal proceeding and the standard for a vote is whatever the House says it is. Is pulling the US Military away from Syria at the expense of the Kurds illegal? No. But it could be seen as an impeachable offense as it was counter to US interests. |

Oh my god, no! Not their actual words with the direct admissions of their crimes! However can the Democrats hold these people to the words that they uttered publicly, usually on camera! It’s so unfair! |
Just because someone said something in front of a camera -- one or more times -- doesn't mean they actually *meant* what they said. In fact, very often they mean the exact opposite of what they said. It's not like what someone says can be used against them in a court of... oh, wait... |
So, if Pelosi met with Jordanian officials with the intent of getting an advantage on a political opponent, she broke the law and should be removed from office? |
What she’s actually doing is trying to fix the mess Donald has made. She’s not asking them to manufacture dirt on him. |
She is the head of a co-equal branch of government doing what always happens. Very different than being an ex-military officer being paid by a foreign country doing their bdding while serving on a transition team or in a new Administration. |
What 'advantage on a political opponent" was Pelosi getting? It's not like she was meeting with the Russians in Moscow on July 4th. |

OMB will not be complying with the depositions this week. I assume NSC will be the same. |
As of right now, Vindman from the NSC will be testifying on Thursday. |
Only guilty people plead the Fifth or refuse to testify. |
Good. We'll see how they respond.

Maybe they should send this to Paul Ryan since he’s the one who wrote the rules that the Democrats are using. Also I wouldn’t trust either of the clowns who wrote this letter. |
+1 Idiot Tea Party Republicans, not serious about governing, just grifting. |
