    Golem is correct, and anyone who disagrees with him is now being deliberately wrong.

    The only investigators in the case of the 400 Marines being needlessly killed in Lebanon were inter Department. Of course Shultz cooperated. However a bunch of political hack Democrats didn’t try to make political hay out of it like that greasy little Gowdy and his transparent pack of jackals did for years. I suppose that Tip O’neill knew damn well that Shultz and Reagan felt horrible about our guys getting killed over there and didn’t want to rub their noses in it. The classless GOP slimebags cheered on by conspiracy tin foilers like Sean Hannity and Roger Ailes used the tragedy in Benghazi to score cheap political points.

    Don't refer to what I did said. Refer to what you falsely claimed I said. And retract!

    I stand by every word that I did say. Which is different from your fantasy

    I claimed you said:

    You seem to think that "Articles of Impeachment" just pop up out of ..."nothingness". You're wrong. There is a whole process behind them which Nadler calls "formal impeachment proceedings".

    Do you stand by those words?

    There wasn’t political hay to be made. There wasn’t an attempted coverup and an illegal server wasn’t found with classified intel

    Trey Gowdy agrees with you, and so does the FBI.

    What evidence wasn't produce in Mueller's two year extensive investigation with 19 federal prosecutors, two grand juries and over 40 FBI agents? Why do you for a minute think Jerry Nadler and his bunch of partisan fools will find evidence Mueller did not?

    Then how do you explain the Articles of Impeachment against Trump have been brought vote already without a formal process?

    Why do you think for even a nano-second "think Jerry Nadler and his bunch of" good guys "will (not) find evidence Mueller did not"?

    The impeachment investigation along with the coming recession ensures a titanic blue wave next year in the elections.

    .... which Nadler calls "formal impeachment proceedings."

    When you read, you might want to try harder

    No. Nadler's formal process is just starting. It has not been voted on.

    You obviously have a huge problem understanding what impeachment is. Any House Representative can introduce articles of impeachment as part of a formal or informal process. The formal process that Nadler is talking about is where the Judiciary Committee as a whole introduces them

    Chairman Nadler is either uniformed about what a formal impeachment inquiry is or he is deliberately misleading the American public to score cheap political points. Which is it, Chairman?

    And what is it, then?

    Oh... I see you are just quoting. You probably have no idea. So never mind.

    I'm glad they finally figured out a way to waste more democrat tax dollars. That's less for abortions, welfare and food stamps, etc. They'll have to cut back on those expenditures and more, eventually.

    It's not 'Formal Impeachment Proceedings'.

    Question is not what it's not. It's what it is. You said that Nadler was "uniformed" as to what a formal impeachment inquiry is. I'm sure you are quoting somebody else. But then you didn't say what a "formal impeachment inquiry" actually is.

    Your answer would be either that you don't know, or a quote from your source. Given that I'm sure you're just repeating somebody else's talking points.

    Well then you were wrong when you said:

    You seem to think that "Articles of Impeachment" just pop up out of ..."nothingness". You're wrong. There is a whole process behind them which Nadler calls "formal impeachment proceedings".


    Articles of Impeachment can indeed "pop out of nothingness!"

    Now that we can agree on that we can start to discuss how Nadler's little show do not qualify as a formal process.

    In every impeachment conducted before a full House resolution was passed to authorize the Judiciary Committee to begin an impeachment inquiry. Nadler's little circus is unprecedented.

    I was absolutely spot on. But now it's clear that the problem is your reading comprehension.

    Nope! Nor did Al Greene's. They came from a process that included the House of Representatives condemnation of Trump's racist remarks regarding the Squad, and the testimony by Robert Mueller. However, a "formal process" is more... "formal" than that. For example, by having the Judiciary Committee carry it out.

    Now that I have read the comment to you, you can start all over....

    Nothing says the Judiciary Committee can't start the investigation on its own.

    Man that guy is creepy.

    Like some sort of Harry Potter goblin creature.

    As long as he keeps the Dem impeachment train headed at full speed towards the cliff, more power to the vile little imp.

    But not as formal as having the whole house vote on starting an impeachment inquiry.

    Be that as it may, we can wait to see if the courts think it is a "formal impeachment process."

    How formal was the process that led Al Greene to submit articles of impeachment back in 2017?
