I like how Schumer misquoted the Constitution on the power of Impeachment belonging to the Senate instead of the House.

Basically the House fumbled the evidentiary proceedings, the Supreme Court ruled Trump did not obstruct Congress, meaning that one of the articles is not only legal and no longer valid but makes the Democrats House leadership legal understanding of lawful behavior very shaky.

yup

Senate cannot be the investigatory body... It is the Judge and Jury. Dems really fucked up.

The fact that they say oh well... the russian collusion thing we were wrong about... but you did obstruct our investigation!

Yeah Schumer calling for witnesses is completely out of place.

that just blatantly shows that they dont understand how obstruction works

you cannot obstruct an investigation for a crime that did not occur lol

how the fuck did they think they could get away with passing the buck for a constitutional procedure to only one of the two organs of congress

Crypt Keeper is out of time to get the vote without more Democrats defecting.

Schiff started proceedings without approval of the rest of the house.

yea at this point its looking like it might not even pass the house

probably will but... its getting rough for the dems

They still have the numbers but the political will is also diminishing. It's now or never.

the choice to use schiff as their face of this...

that was probably the dumbest thing ive ever seen

Schiff never should've been chair.

Can you get more dumb then using an ex-CIA plastic looking wide-eyed weirdo

Give it AOC at least something might get done as she fumbles around.

this is really going on par with Republicans just sitting on their hands for an entire year and stealing a supreme court seat for actual examples of partisan obstruction

Well they play these games back and forth all the time. It's just the Dems bet on a horse that never had a chance to begin with this time.

pretty much

It's sad.

the second i heard he was ex-CIA. i knew nothing he said would be the truth

I'll raise the suggestion again. a national holiday for legislative review

Poor Schiff... He was promised Trump nudes. His eyes never were the same after that.

an entire 24 hours of nothing but review and litigation on a piece of law or procedure

to be performed both in congress and at state legislatures

I think Schiff talked to the whistleblower, or at least his staffers did, and just ran with the ball.

Schiff took the ball and ran~ But he is looking like he is headed towards his own end zone.

yup and then trump released the transcript

and that just totally... fucked with the dems

I still don't trust the transcript because it's transcribed via human.

But he produced evidence where they produced talking points.

well see the transcript is agreed upon by multiple parties that are listening to the call

so its not just 1 human transcribing it

They had Lt. Col. Vindman... But General... Kelly was it? Found the call was proper. He was on it too~

I don't think it's a fabrication but Presidents aren't always truth tellers.

So we'll see exactly

well then how come we dont see an alternative transcript that was released by someone else on the call right

I was waiting for that actually
