    Well the Articles come from the House Judiciary Commitee, after they conduct hearings, and draw them up to send to the House. Currently, Shifty won't allow members of taht Committee into his Star Chamber to even hear anything....so it's pretty obvious this is a shame

    No it is not, Congress and the courts rely on precedent. In both the Nixon and Clinton impeachment both sides had equal power and they started with a HOUSE vote.

    They have the evidence, the transcript of the phone call. It was reviewed by the Office of Legal Counsel. The person who is alleged to have been extorted says it didn't happen. No quid pro quo, no extortion, nothing illegal.

    Yea, the GOP ran the Clinton impeachment by starting with a special prosecutor to review Whitewater allegations and ended up submitting Clinton to questioning under oath about his affair.

    Totally different.

    It is, at explicitly stated on the front page, not a word for word transcript.

    You know this.

    I'm glad you bought the Trump Administration line and want to rail about the fairness of this inquiry.

    But, at the end of the day, neither the House Rules nor the Constitution demand that an impeachment inquiry start with anything more than a Press Conference.

    I think I'll defer to the people conducting the investigation as to when they have collected all needed evidence. You don't really think that you are privy to all details do you? LOL!!!

    That was NO transcript. I guess you ARE that naive. I suspect it's conditional.

    That’s not according to the house rules and precedent.

    The dems are just making things up as they go along...parody if you will. The dems are a parody of reality

    And an impeachment inquiry started without a vote is a toothless inquiry, and it's also political suicide.

    Move on with it, please.

    That's only your opinion of events. What this is about is Trumps criminality and obstruction of justice. Not only did the telephone transcript catch Trump in pressuring Ukraine to slander a political opponent, but our stable genius attempted to justify it in public.

    The RW always to try to make this about a 2016 election loss, it's not. It's about rampant corruption in the Trump Administration and criminal activity by Trump. It's abut a Constitutional process to remove a president guilty of multiple actions that rise to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors. Election fraud, obstruction of justice, influence peddling, illegal campaign contributions and conspiring with a foreign government to affect our elections.

    Trump's incredible stupidity in giving Turkey the green light to kill our allies is but one of many international disasters Trump has fostered on our democracy and the credibility of the United States on the world stage. Trump is a horribly flawed, dangerous man that has done great damage to America. Another four years of this "stable genius" would utterly destroy American influence in the world and give it to Russia.

    You mean the charges that were dropped simply because Hillary said “she can’t recall” and “I didn’t intend...” 50 times? Oh in that case since you really didn’t intend to do anything wrong and don’t recall all these things you did and said, you’re free to go. :) Have a nice day madam. Case closed. Oh and by the way, your husband chatted with me last night. We really don’t want to get into a whole thing here, so we’ll leave you alone and leave it at that. All that data you destroyed? Don’t worry about it. We didn’t need it anyway. Destroying evidence during an investigation isn’t illegal for people like you. It’s ok:)

    Mine and many others


    There are no criminal charges.
    There was no obstruction of justice

    That's why the Democrats have moved to the phone call which contains NO impeachable acts. If being involved in corrupt acts slanders someone oh well. Biden said last night if he is elected he will go after corruption in the Ukraine, well that is exactly what Trump is doing.

    That's the left wing and the Democrats who have yet to accept the 2016 election and trying to overturn it now.

    More fake news.

    Sorry, it's a scam. Democrats from swing state will either vote no or sit it out, I highly doubt it will ever even come to a vote. They won't hold a vote because then the Republicans get their turn to question the "witnesses". The voters see it's just a kangaroo court and make their support for Trump stronger.

    You posted someone else claiming it’s a rule, but it’s still not a rule
