Scalise, Cole introduce resolution to change rules on impeachment

[Obiwan]

Personally, I think it's time for the Republicans to DEMAND an open hearing and impeachment vote...

Let's see what kind of losing hand the Democrats have...

And watch them lose their FOURTH impeachment vote when the Democrats from the districts that voted for Trump vote AGAINST the farce in order protect their jobs!!!

First the Democrats have to investigate to prepare the articles of impeachment. The rest of the House gets involved when they have actual articles of impeachment.

Impeachment IS SUPPOSED TO BE BIPARTISAN...AS WAS BLOW JOB BILLY CLINTONS!!!!

THE BILL CLINTON VOTE WAS NOT BI-PARTISAN. It was a Republican blow job.

Actually, it was a matter of a felony (perjury)...

But the Democrats proved that they have no problem with criminal behavior from one of their own...

House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) and Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) on Friday introduced a resolution that would require the committees overseeing the impeachment inquiry to allow outside members of the House to have access to the proceedings, depositions and transcribed interviews.

Its introduction comes after a group of House conservatives attempted to gain access to a closed-door impeachment hearing on Wednesday. The conservative lawmakers were rebuffed because they did not sit on the House Intelligence Committee, House Foreign Affairs Committee or the House Oversight and Reform Committee.

"The stakes are too high for Chairman [Adam] Schiff [D-Calif.] and Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi's [D-Calif.] impeachment proceedings to continue in secret. The American people's elected representatives have been denied access to relevant documents and the opportunity to attend depositions and transcribed interviews,” Scalise said in a statement.

“Chairman Schiff wants to impeach President Trump behind closed doors and clearly has no intention of conducting a fair and open process. We demand transparency. For the sake of our republic, Members of Congress must have access to proceedings with such monumental and dangerous consequences,” Scalise added.

Good. It's time for Republicans to stand up against the Dems' illegal activities regarding the impeachment.

There is absolutely nothing illegal about it. The House decides on how to proceed. on a impeachment. There are Republicans on these committees the last time I checked. There is no reason for anyone else to be there. Fact finding is best done away from the cameras. Conservative is a joke. These are not conservatives but Trump goons.

You are right about being legal but wrong about conservatives-I am not one, but they are not goons anymore than all Democrats are snowflakes. Show some respect.

I don't show any respect for these goons as they don't show any respect for anyone else. They clearly wanted to get in so they could tip Trump off. These animals allow Trump to turn the Constitution into toilet paper. They support brutal treatment of detainees.

I guess you didn't pay attention to the 2018 election.

The republicans lost. Big time. Which means they lost control of the House of Reps.

Which means that resolution won't go anywhere.

The rules won't be changed.

I think it's interesting that you believe that the republicans can kick people out of meetings if they aren't on that committee but when your own rules are applied to you, you don't like it and want to get it changed.

Deal with it. You forced those rules on democrats when republicans controlled the House. Now live by the rules you forced democrats to live by.

You don't like it?

Do damn bad.

...Its introduction comes after a group of House conservatives attempted to gain access...

Amateur-level juvenile theatrics... a sophomoric sideshow for their bumper-sticker motto-braying Sheeple.

...The conservative lawmakers were rebuffed because they did not sit on...

If you're not on the Committee you don't get to sit-in on closed-door sessions.

..."The stakes are too high... to continue in secret...

They... and you... and I... will know more about their findings, very soon now.

...The American people's elected representatives have been denied access...

Incorrect. A subset of those elected representatives already have access. More will have access very soon now.

...“Chairman Schiff wants to impeach President Trump behind closed doors..."

Incorrect. Impeachment will be a very transparent process. Intelligence gathering, however, is - and always has been - behind closed doors.

...and clearly has no intention of conducting a fair and open process...

Incorrect. Impeachment will be a very fair and open process, amongst the House at-large.

...We demand transparency...

Impeachment will be a very transparent process, amongst the House at-large.

...For the sake of our republic, Members of Congress must have access to proceedings...

They - and you - will have access to all requisite transcripts, summaries, etc., once the preliminary Inquiry is over.

...Good. It's time for Republicans to stand up...

Indeed. It is time for Republicans to reclaim their party from an amoral, arrogant, half-senile, dangerous Robber Baron.

...against the Dems' illegal activities regarding the impeachment.

Please cite the Constitutional provision or the Statute or House Rule that stipulates that an Impeachment Inquiry requires votes or open doors.

EXACTLY what this impeachment crap is... a POLITICAL vehicle to propagandize NOTHING that is impeachable, especially since we KNOW it hasn't a chance to being enacted in the Senate....Face it. The party of INFANTICIDE has NO VIABLE AGENDA OR POLICIES that would make things better in Anerica and for Americans and keeping this charade up. Is all they have.....

Bill Clinton's impeachment had no chance in the Senate but Republicans in the House went forward anyway. Karma is tough isn't it. Republicans have no ideas except to make the rich and powerful more rich and powerful.

Of course it won't go anywhere just like the impeachments will go nowherr....BOTH used as propaganda tools to get the media to cover each parties goals... The propaganda worked somewhat in 2018(with 33 Rep. Reps stepping down!) But you fools have gone too far with your bullshit....BTW, where are there rallies with almost 50 000 people standing in the rain for a day just to see Trump for ANY DemonRAT....sorry your shit don't fly but sure smells!

That's not the way it was done with Nixon and Clinton.

That's because the DOJ refused to do the investigation.

The whistleblower's report was sent to the DOJ for criminal investigation. bill barr refused to do the investigation and just declared there was no crime. Without doing any investigation.

If bill barr had done his job and started an investigation, the House wouldn't need to be doing it now.

So if you have any problems how this is happening, take it up with bill barr. He refused to do is job.

So now the democrats in the House are doing it. bill barr made an extremely horrible choice when he refused to do that investigation. He could have controlled the whole thing in the the DOJ but he chose to be trump's lap dog and tried to bury and hide the whole thing. Now you all are living with the consequences of barr's very bad choice.

Deal with it.

Newflash stupid Democrats cannot exclude Republicans from the investigation. Dem's can't go off in secret and conduct a witch hunt.

They can exclude people who are not on the committees.

Its like you want to be mocked. Okay tell us why the Judiciary committee is banned from a legal inquiry being conducted in secret? Tell us why witnesses are denied counsel during the secret depositions? Tells us why White House counsel is denied during these secret witch hunt meetings? Tell us why documented and blatant LIAR Adam Schiff is chairing the inquiry?

 

[Kondor3]

The body of evidence presented to the House at-large will contain FAR more than that one transcript.

... And STILL NO VIABLE POLICIES GOOD FOR AMERICA....HIGHER TAXES, MORE ILLEGALS, LESS JOBS, MORE UNEMPLOYMENT...

Immaterial to whether or not Trump has conducted himself in such a way so as to warrant Impeachment. Absolutely immaterial.

...STOP lying!

There is nothing but truth and accuracy in what I have been posting in this thread. You are mistaken.
