Do Democrats have to begin the process of impeaching President Donald Trump in order to access special counsel Robert Mueller’s secrets?
That legal debate began raging inside the House Judiciary Committee on Friday after a new federal court ruling suggested that Congress’ access to some confidential evidence - like the kind obtained by Mueller - hinges on lawmakers launching a “judicial proceeding.”
Republicans on the committee say the only “judicial proceeding” Congress can lead is an impeachment inquiry -- a claim they say is backed up by legal precedent and history. Democrats would have to launch one against Trump if they want Mueller’s grand jury evidence, Republicans say.
That interpretation would be problematic for Democratic leaders in Congress, who have little interest in launching a politically explosive impeachment process at the moment. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has said it’s not worth the House’s time and other top Democrats have said it’s premature while they conduct their own investigations and await the details of Mueller’s findings.

Doesn't matter. RATS are attempting to blow up the system for a few votes. Anything goes.

Time for a counter attack. I’m sure the Dem’s have a lot of skeletons in their closets. Besides, they all live in glass houses.
So Nancy’s approach will be: We need to IMPEACH the President to find out WHY we should impeach the President.
I’m not pretending any more.
Just trying to get ready.
Our country would be saved if the average nitwit republican understood the truth of your tagline.
They should start impeachment proceedings just before the 2020 elections.
It would work out well for them.
It’s still a prison sentence to release anybody’s tax return. All these propaganda articles are just more seditious commie bullsheit
So an impeachment process can be used as a fishing expedition to look for dirt to harass the president? Good use of of public resources. Why didn’t they think of that when Obama was president to get his college transcripts?
The Democrats may not WANT to open that can of worms, as the threads are certainly going to lead back to some very high players on their OWN team. There is a reason grand jury proceedings are kept secret, and this is a tradition and legal precedent that should, MUST, be respected.
Because once it gets out how ham sandwiches can get indicted, the mask comes off a LOT of mysterious but important behind-the-scenes operation of the machinery of the legal system.
George Soros, of course, is not in the least concerned whether the secrecy is tripped away, because he is not interested in maintaining the legal traditions of the US code or the Constitutional powers vested by the founding documents of the United States of America.
Best post of the day!
Everybody step back and breathe.
They’re not going to get the returns and even if they did, NO ONE except those who already hate him would care.
I’ve never even THOUGHT about a candidate’s tax returns.
No one I know has ever.
The only reason the D political hacks would stop their constant sedition is if soroznazi feared losing them to prison sentences. But pdjt just doesn’t seem inclined to do anything to shut them down. So, soroznazi will keep up the attacks.
1.) Neither am I.
2,) So are we.
Good luck.

When will pdjt stop being so nice nice and have soroznazi and his political puppets — or at least the old Nazi himself- prosecuted ?
Has there EVER been a more obvious and blatant “witch hunt” in the history of the USA regarding a sitting POTUS? AT least we KNOW that Bill Clinton committed adultery and other crimes while in office (and before) - the idiots in Congress just chose to pursue one of the lesser crimes (lying under oath to grand jury). They didn’t even chase the bigger charges...
But DJT... has been subjected to the most intense, microscopic investigation in US History toward a POTUS - and a small handful of folks ended up charged/convicted and none of those were related to any crimes or misdemeanors committed by Trump. But the RATs just won’t give up - and since they now have an unlimited budget since stupid voters gave them back the majority (not that Republicans were any better since the investigation started under their watch).... I suspect this will never end.
The Democrats are intent on overthrowing the lawfully elected government and bringing down the country through foreign invasion. That is sedition and treason, yet the people largely sleep on. This struggle is about the future of the US or if there is a future.
“Our country would be saved if the average nitwit republican understood the truth of your tagline.”
I think a handful of them get it. At least I hope so. But they’ll never say it out loud in public. They’d instantly be savaged by not just the MSM and the Dems (I repeat myself) but the vast majority of Republicans, too.
But a reckoning is coming. As Kurt Schlichter so ably put it “They hate you and want you dead.”
He’s right.

I think it would be much more interesting to see the returns of politicians that became millionaires...
rather than seeing returns of millionaires that became politicians.
In fact, they should go first.
Wow.
THAT makes sense.
