House Conducts Witch Hunt Related Vote on Halloween
Impeachment proceedings play into President Trump’s hands. (Gary Varvel)
The Democrat-dominated House of Representatives formally approved the ground rules for an impeachment inquiry. These rules favor the Democrats’ desires for the inquiry’s direction. This includes potential obstacles to the Republicans.
Republicans get equal time to ask witnesses some questions. However, if they want to bring additional witnesses in, they have to get approval by their committee chair. On the surface, this may seem like basics. Those in charge of the committees would be expected to have this authority.
However, a look at this inquiry’s history and its weak argument hints at how specific Republican requests may go. This is based on something that wasn’t a violation. Republicans wanting to thoroughly engage in the process may have a hard time doing so.
From Fox News:
“A yes vote on this resolution today gives a stamp of approval to a process that has been damaged beyond all repair and a blatant and obvious coup to unseat a sitting president of the United States,” Rep. Ross Spano, R-Fla., said.
Democrats, though, maintained that the president’s own actions — pressing Ukraine to launch politically related investigations, and allegedly using military aid as leverage — brought the country to this point.
“I do not take any pleasure in the need for this resolution,” Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., said. “We are here because the facts compel us to be here.”
Showmanship and heated rhetoric marked the lead-up to the vote. Pelosi stood beside a giant placard of an American flag while declaring Congress was “defending our democracy.”
Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., accused Democrats of being part of a “cult,” suggesting Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., is their leader.
Trump tweeted after the vote: “The Greatest Witch Hunt In American History!”
The call to the Ukrainian leader appears to be the centerpiece for this effort. Anyone reading the transcript can see that no wrong was done. In fact, what President Trump is accused of doing was actually done by one of the candidates on the Democrat side.
Fox News provides the article and associated video on this topic.
Edited to add the following:
Nancy Pelosi, when arguing against impeachment for President Clinton, advanced arguments contradicting the ones that she’s making now for the impeachment inquiry. What she said in the impeachment argument in the late 1990s is applicable now. Not when she made the argument back then.
The link of her singing a different tune could be found here. Then click on the video below to see her advancing a different argument.
Thanks to ninja for the material for this update.

Check out the video in the article as well as the Transcript of the speech Nancy Pelosi gave on 18 December 1998 during the Impeachment Proceedings for then President Bill Clinton:

How does one spell H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E.
Thanks for the added information. The post above has been updated to include what you brought up.
Trump tweeted after the vote: “The Greatest Witch Hunt In American History!”
I think that was misspelled. It should be The Greatest Bitch Hunt, shouldn’t it?
This is revenges for Shrillary not getting elected, right? Well, she paid a visit to her home town of Park Ridge, IL, a few weeks ago, and someone from the audience asked her something about her “best moments” during her campaign. She blathered and burbled and – well, frankly, shows some rather odd signs of short-term memory loss. Might be a long-term effect of that fall she took, too.
And those bozos in Congress wanted her in the White House. Well, of course, they did. She’d be their Puppet and they the Puppetmasters.
Seems like the Dems allege to be upset about someone in a position to do so investigating criminal activity of an individual who MIGHT some day become a political opponent.
OK. So what are the options here? To NOT investigate criminal activity if the individual being investigated MIGHT some day be a political opponent?? That would pretty much make any criminal investigation of all political animals off limits, right?
The folks whining the loudest probably only want that to apply to THEIR political opponents while the rest of us want all criminals held accountable for their crimes with no regard for political party, age, race, or any other characteristic of the criminal. Do the crime, do the time. Don’t care who you are.
Right. The Democrats have spent the last three years investigating their political opponents.
The Democrats like to set dangerous precedents. Then blame Republicans when they get the majority back and use those rules against them. Just how it’s McConnell’s fault that Garland wasn’t confirmed or the nuclear option that Harry Reid used.
If this doesn’t stop soon, the Democrats will have guided us into a republic in which whomever has the majorities does “investigations” and impeachments of anyone they don’t like.
Need a good laugh?
Check out what Pelosi said yesterday. So different from her 1998 Video.
“Nancy Pelosi: I Don’t Know Why GOP Is Afraid of The Truth”
Putting the flag graphic on a white background was probably a mistake since it makes it look like Pelosi’s flag has 15 stripes…
Why is there even a flag graphic there? Did they run out of real flags??
OWB:
Your comment about running out of real flags was GREAT!
Thank You!
Maybe i was intentional…thy keep talking about Puerto Rico and DC becoming states
The 1998 Nancy Pelosi Video on the Impeachment Procedures on Bill Clinton. Transcript of the video is posted above.
So Nancy Pantsy thought it was okay for the President of the United States to get a b**w job while he was on the phone with the Secretary of State or anyone else, does she?
When is she going to leave? I will be so glad when she implodes and has to hobble out the door, mumbling to herself.
Sorry, that was just mean of me. My bad. 😛
Ex, you are NEVER “mean”.
You simply tell the TRUTH, the WHOLE TRUTH and NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH.
*smile*
Hope the snow melts in your AO!
Given the amount of Plastic Surgery that Nanny Lugosi has had over the years, I’d like to see her handlers leave her out in sunlight until she melts!

Indeed!
Question (a bit off topic, but still ties in with Pelosi)
Do these parts of San Francisco fall within Pelosi’s AOR?
If so, what exactly does she do for the folks of San Francisco?
“California’s Prop 47 Leads To Rise In Shoplifting, Thefts, Criminal Activity Across State”
https://www.foxnews.com/us/california-prop-47-shoplifting-theft-crime-statewide
Newsom must be following the instructions on ‘How To Trash a Nice State For Dummies’.
I’m convinced that the goal of the left is to turn the USA into a third world shithole and one good look at any longtime D-rat pol’s District will confirm it starting with Nanny Lugosi’s!
And they continue to showcase what a filthy whorehouse DC truly is!
Trump; “Impeachment huh” (Yawn)…..
Picks up cell phone immediately goes to Twitter…..
The rest is history…..
He loves this shit, I swear !!!!!
Let’s face it, he’s soooooo good at it too !!!!
He didn’t cut the swath through the NYC shark pool by accident, he knows what he’s doing and IMHO it’s only a matter of time until President Trump lets the D-rats walk right into another wall or off a cliff!
If anyone needs a torch or a pitchfork, I have extrys.
Her and that other bitch are the personification of pure evil. And schiff is their cuck.
Has anyone else observed the nut cases involved in trying to torch Trump are all from California or the one from New Yawk. All could take a public crap in church and still be elected by their nut case constituents.
I’ve noticed that too. IMHO they could defecate in the Kennedy Rose Garden and the left wing DNC/Soros media lackeys would laud them for “Organically Fertilizing” it!
