House Judiciary Committee unexpectedly delays planned vote on Trump articles of impeachment
nydailynews.com ^ | 12/13/2019 | Chris Sommerfeldt and Dave Goldiner

In a surprise move that outraged his Republican colleagues, House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler broke up a marathon impeachment hearing shortly before midnight Thursday without allowing members to cast their planned votes on articles of impeachment against President Trump.

After more than 14 hours of brutally partisan debate, Nadler suddenly gaveled out the hearing and told the panel’s 40 members to return at 10 a.m. Friday for a vote on the articles.

“It is now very late at night. I want members on both sides of the aisle to think about what has happened over these last days and to search their consciences before we cast our final votes,” Nadler (D-N.Y.) said before recessing, prompting gasps and shouts from the committee’s Republicans. Georgia Rep. Doug Collins, the panel’s top Republican, told reporters outside the hearing room that Nadler’s “integrity is gone.”

“This committee is more concerned about getting it on TV in the morning than it was finishing its job tonight and letting the members go home,” Collins said. "Words cannot describe how inappropriate this was … I’m just beyond words at this point.”

“””Or was it something else that got their attention?

Turtle comes on Hannity tonight, and announces the Senate will follow Trump’s wishes and allow a full senate trial with witnesses.

Hmmm...”””

That is so much sweetness. Can you imagine the hurt that a full trial can put on the Democrats? Did Nadler postpone AFTER McConnell said this or before?


The committee was on a 30 min break at the time when Mitch appeared on Hannity. When the break was over, Hank Johnson entered into the record Mitch’s comments. Then about one hour later Nadler declared the vote for Friday.

Nadler once had integrity?

Great. Bring Rudy forward with his Ukrainian witnesses. Depose Biden and little Biden. Depose Blow Boy and Schiff. Depose Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Strzok, Paige, Hillary. During half time have some Kossack dancers.

It is entered into record that Nadler denied a Minority Hearing.
Further proof of demoncrat abuse of power.

Makes me wonder what the DemocRATS whip count is in their caucus.

While the presence of a DemocRAT conscience is highly debatable, if they do happen to find one, the farce will be ended today.

Biden under oath is the Democrats worst nightmare and Trump’s dream come true.

Nancy saw that the TV Impeachment show was turning America against the Dems.

And she called Nadler to cut it off.

Too late Nadler.

You’re effed for sure now.

Millions of Americans who watched this fiasco have been converted to Trump supporters.

More TV time shouldn’t have been the reason. (although they are terribly inept) They were in prime time in 3/4 of the country, and in the east coast in the 11pm news hour. Couldn’t have been better exposure.

Perhaps they did NOT want all those available eyeballs to see it. Far fewer will witness it Friday. Travel plans would likely be interrupted for all members.

I suspect something else.

My guess, Nancy doesn’t have the votes.

Just watched Doug Collins on F&F. He thinks Nadler wanted the vote to take place during tv hours. He said no reason to postpone because they know how they’re going to vote. They’ve known all along how they’ll vote so this is solely just for tv face time.

“A Senate trial - as McConnel said today he would allow - would show far too many low info Rats the truth. Assuming even a small percentage of them have the cognitive skills to absorb even the tiniest bit of truth, the Rats can’t afford that loss.”

I have 25 bucks that says if this goes to trial, CNN will do everything in its power to not show the hearings.

Nadler proves again he’s stupid. Peeps watch TV at night. And all but 3.5% of us have jobs and won’t be watching TV this morning. I heard Collins shout that yesterday, but I still think there’s more to it.
