3. Conceal exculpatory evidence, while selectively leaking stuff to make Trump look bad.
4. Prevent Trump/GOP from challenging witnesses and presenting exculpatory evidence to the Public.
5. Motivate the base, pretending they're actually doing something concrete beyond smearing with selective leaks.
6. Without putting vulnerable purple/swing state Dems at risk with a vote.

Shouldn't the Judiciary Committee be involved in an Impeachment inquiry?

APOCALYPSEFUCKisShostikovitch says

Among the lurid details of the lawsuit, Jane Doe alleged Trump tied her to a bed, "forcibly raped" her and threatened her and her family with physical harm, if not death, if she told anyone about the assault.

This is clearly false. Trump is incapable of paying attention to another human being for this length of time, much less tying a knot.

He's approaching 80. The botox and face-lift though were a moderate success I'd say. Much harder to do that for the brain.

It's a debate with millionaires arguing with other millionaires about how evil millionaires are.

Booger says

That being said, I would favor and - with the right circumstances and temporary provisions - support a wealth tax on extremely high net-worth people over any income tax or capital gains tax increase. It's a decent TEMPORARY tool to balance out inequality and balance budgets.

Another allegation.

Look, George W. Bush murdered between 100,000 and 1,000,000 people by lying about a non existent weapons of mass destruction program.

Obama spent 8 years bombing 7 nations and is the principle reason there are millions of refugees in Europe, creating havoc.

Let's say Trump DID rape this a girl 25 years ago. He's still much less of a monster than the last two prezdidents. Wake me up when he starts a new war, then I'll want him out of office, but not before then.

Agreed.

Tim Aurora says

hope some republicans join them and Trump turf democrats can abstain.

That is some wishful thinking.

SO the plan is to investigate until they find some impeachable offense that they can then bring up for a vote in the HOPE that some rhino's will vote for it so some democrats can avoid being associated with it.

Did I get that right?

THOUSANDS MORE TROOPS????

Here's what your source for that information is:

www.youtube.com/embed/XNk7H3wX5SY

Don't you get it yet? All corporate "news" is propaganda. You have absolutely no idea what is going on. None. They just fucking lie, outright. Find that weapons of mass destruction program in Iraq yet? Who in the media questioned that bullshit? Oh, Phil Donahue, and he was fired over it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Donahue#MSNBC_program

Nothing our corporate propaganda tells us can be trusted. Nothing. Remember those "limpet mine" attacks, carried about by Iran? Those false flags? We'd be at war with Iran if Hillary Cunt was president, and you goddamned well know it.

By this time into each of their first terms in their presidency, both Obozo and Duh had began new wars. That alone makes Trump vastly superior to those fucks. Appreciate what you got because anybody else would be busy lying us into another fucking war, doubling down on all the current ones, as the media all collectively ejaculated in their pants over it.

6rdB says

I do not think impeachment is the goal. Perhaps influencing next elections is the goal

Bingo! And this "impeachment inquiry" is going to continue until the next election. No kidding, it will. This is all the Democrat leadership has. They know they can't impeach him because they don't have any crimes, so they are going to waste a whole year pretending to be investigating in the hope that it will hurt his chances of re-election.

All they need to do is recover DNA from Hunter's cocaine straws.

More like 'bribery and lobbying sink holes'.

Seriously, that book is an easy read, will take you less than 3 hours to read it, and will explain precisely how propaganda is disseminated in the United States. It was written nearly 30 years ago.

DOES DONALD TRUMP WANT TO BE DICTATOR?

Why, has he been taking lessons from Nancy Pelosi?

"The word is coming to an end with your fantasies of limitless economic growth! Put the Oligarch Technocrats in control! All of their predictions came true! Don't you remember the 80s-90s famine when 1/3 of the world died like Dr. Paul Ehrlich and ZPG promised it would, along with the coming Ice Age?!"

jazz_music says

While none of the lawmakers sit on the committees leading the impeachment inquiry — House Intelligence, Foreign Affairs, and Oversight and Reform — they argued the process has lacked transparency and all members should have access to the information.

Jazz, which committee has historically been a part of Impeachment?

The Judiciary committee. On every impeachment that ever has been. Why isn't the Judiciary Committee involved?

Because this isn't an impeachment. Their exclusion confirms this.

He doesn't even look like he wants to be presedent much less a dictator.

What's fun about these Absurd Agitprop LibbyFuck Repeating Stations is that if you take the baggy, contrived ill fitting suits they are trying to hang on Trump and conservatives, turn around and put them on Progressives and Dems, suddenly they fit like custom couture.

THE GREAT FLIP! SCREAM THE OPPOSITE OF FACT LOUD ENOUGH AND PROJECT YOUR OWN SINS, YOU CAN MAKE IT FACT FOR THE IDIOCRACY!

The Minority get's subpoena powers, and Trump gets to call witnesses.
Schiff is right, they have to do this in secret or the GOP will cut their sham case apart.
You're cheering them on for a dangerous game. Thankfully Trump will beat back the Coup and they will get theirs.
You wont have to see the what for, and all else.

For the OP:

jazz_music says

The judiciary committee chair retains this authority in the current Congress; its rules stipulate that “a subpoena may be authorized and issued by the Chairman … following consultation with the Ranking Minority Member.”

Hey Jazz, is the Judiciary Committee part of Pelosi's bullshit "hearings inquiry?" heh heh heh

Yeah. Just another baby mama working the system. Now I actually feel sorry for him.... What a screwed up society we have when bringing a child into the world let's you basically enslave someone. Abortion is legal in AZ, and there are 100s of contraceptives for women (one for men). But, whatever, I am sure she told him she was "protected". What a cunt.

All men should simply get cut when they are 16 and then re-attach the tube when they find a woman with whom they WANT a child.

BUSHITLER! BUSH IS A DICTATOR!

Oh wait... Trump is a Dictator?

2007: BUSHITLER! ILLEGAL WARZ!

ENDLESS WARS! END THIS WAR!

2019: TRUMP DON'T END THIS WAR! OR YOU'RE A DICTATOR!

jazz_music says

Oh come on. Show me when Trump ever actually said that.

Look, criticize the man, but if you're going to do that, don't just lie. There's lot to criticize him about, but when you lie this this, you're working for his re-election campaign. The more people lie about him, the more support he will get.

WaltertheoFlanders says

Where is the rule that states they must have a vote to start the inquiry? I've asked and yet no answer. This is because there is no rule. Which means they don't have to vote to start the inquiry.

That right. However... where is the rule that a judge just allow hundreds of subpoenas against Trump to go forward because a single house member wants to harass the president and impede his presidential duties? There is no rule. Therefore, if Pelosi want's to put some weight behind her subpoenas she could do that by going to the judge and arguing that hundreds of house members agree with the action.

Jazz, why isn't the Judiciary committee involved in these Hearings? Judiciary Committee always involved in real impeachments!

"The Minority get's subpoena powers, and Trump gets to call witnesses.

I'm not tracking this... Wouldn't the best witnesses be the ones the WH is barring from cooperation? Are you saying that if they were allowed to testify the case would fall apart? Is the WH trying to stop the Dems from destroying themselves? 4D indeed.

NuttBoxer says

Yep!

First in drone bombings and killings!
First in imperialism!
First in national debt size!
First in murder(some call "defense") contract spending!
First in number of illegals flooding the country!
First in social services offered to illegals once they arrive!
First in prison population(% and overall)!

Way to DRAIN THAT SWAMP!!!

Yes, Obama was terrible at draining the swamp.

Would have solved me a lot of problems in my 20s. Thank gawd that damn Louisiana Fruit Fly miscarried.

BTW, if Trump was a real dictator...you'd be taking a REAL dirtnap right about now, dontcha think?

clambo says

high tech will continue to complain of a shortage of "qualified candidates" for high tech.

simple solution: pay more and there will be lines of kids entering "high tech" studies, just like with med schools. But that would decrease Gates, Bezos, and Zukerberg PROFITS! by 5%. Simpler to import Indians and/or export work.

mell says

You got to have a beer with everyone first to get to know them personally and give them a chance. Except for realtors.

Trump is kinda realtor.
And while I do agree with AF that Trump is a fucking cunt, people who try to overthrow an elected PRECEDENT! just because they think someone else (CUNT SQUARED CLINTON) should have been elected, are much bigger fucking cunts than Trump has or ever will be.
