You literally do not understand the nation's conscience when you think it's totally cool to disenfranchise millions of voters by attempting to impeach because of a narrative you refuse to show the public.

You are seeking to depose a duly elected President of the United States of America behind closed doors. What did you think was going to happen?

That is not what is happening. The impeachment will be public. Relax and change your news source.

Idk...discovery doesn't seem to apply in this situation. I haven't been watching news lately because I prefer reading source documents. I looked for them in the Congressional Record and nada. This is still America, right?

Go read the rules that the Republicans created for this before you start spouting what you "think" is supposed to be happening. Why are you opining about something you don't know anything about?

Great question. You Democrats sure are smart.

Was this sarcasm.. I can't tell.. but yes, the rules that the Dems are currently following were instituted by Rs.. see post @10/24/2019 09:14

" they are following rules that were instituted in 2015 by a Republican held House and signed by John boehner " Every R should know who he is, right?

You sure are smart! No sarcasm! I wish I was as smart as you!

Oh, I get it... a pretend Dem making a Dem sound dumb, just like pretend Trumpsters making Trumpsters sound dumb. I'll admit.. I sometimes sarcastically post stuff on here pretending to be a dumb Trumpster.

I'm not pretending to be anything other than a voter. Posters here think they hold power over the results of an election and try to overturn the results without rest. They must be very, very smart to even try to sell years of tyranny.

The Declaration of Independence sounds so quaint when dealing with the smarts of these posters.

"He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their Operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them."

Quaint AF. Amirite?

And yet the Constitution clearly lays out that the House has the sole power of impeachment and the Senate has the sole power to try all impeachments. Impeachable offenses include treason, bribery, and abuse of office ("high crimes and misdemeanors" was a term of art in use at the time of the drafting of the Constitution which boils down to abuse of office or maladministration). So, following the Constitution, if the House believes the President is guilty of one of the above, the House can create Articles of Impeachment. That is followed by a public trial in the Senate, if the Senate chooses to take it up. The proceedings in the House are not a trial and do not remove an official from office. Your point would be valid if the Senate proceedings were held in private but there is no indication that anybody wants them to be (in fact, quite the opposite). You're falling for propaganda, my friend.

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

The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

How can they believe that without any evidence?

The House is in the process of collecting the evidence RIGHT NOW. This is EXACTLY what the Committees are doing in closed sessions, attended by both Dem and GOP House members (and their staff).

They are collecting the evidence and will then determine whether impeachment charges will be levied against the POTUS.

In this case, there is evidence from Trump, a couple of whistleblowers, and various officials that the House believes warrants further investigation. If the investigation turns up enough evidence to create a consistent picture that the House believes warrants a trial, they will draw up the Articles of Impeachment. They haven't gotten that far yet.

Schiff should be locked up for abuse. The meeting they had wasn't even classified in nature according to house Democrats. They shouldn't have had it in the SCIF...it should be have in the open. Then he shuttles the Democrat operative out of the SCIF as soon as people storm into is Soviet style politburo coup meeting.

The Democrats are trying to turn this place into a banana republic. Good for the GOP for trying to bring this travesty to light.

This impeachment has really demonstrated that Americans don’t have a f#%king clue how our government operates, and have never bothered to read the constitution.
We take it for granted, and it’s embarrassing.

That’s exactly my point. They’d never be able to create the articles if they didn’t have any evidence.

Who cares?

Even if the closed meeting were in a conference room instead of a SCIF, it would be illegal. But we don't care!

What Democrat operative?

Laura Cooper is DOD, formerly State.

Not exactly a "Democrat operative".

Why? To make it easier for potential criminals to collaborate on a cover story? You support their scheming? Shame on you.

This right here is the real story. It's so pathetic that - aside from the 2nd Amendment - a vast majority of the country clearly has zero familiarity with the Constitution.

It's extremely embarrassing and I'm sure foreign powers are taking note of how ignorant Americans are.
