House Republicans railed against their Democratic colleagues' impeachment resolution Wednesday as the Rules Cmte. readied the measure for a full floor vote.

Democrats, however, stressed that the process is not entirely dissimilar to past impeachment inquiries and that the resolution has afforded Republicans a role in line with those previous inquiries.

"If it's a fishing expedition, there's a lot of fish and might even be some whales out in the water," Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., said. Raskin called out Republicans for their messaging on impeachment over the past several weeks since the inquiry was announced. "I have to admit I'm a little bit baffled because, from our colleagues across the aisle for the last several weeks, all we've heard is, 'You are in a process, but you haven't had a vote,'" Raskin said."Well, now we're going to have a vote, then we hear, 'Well, we want open hearings.' This is a process for open hearings. That's precisely what we're doing, and now we're getting the objection, 'You could have done this without a vote.

23 trillion in debt ; does satan need to draw everybody a picture

They are definitely worried

If republicans believe there's nothing there why are they so mad about an inquiry?

they know he’s guilty yet willing to support him because keeping their jobs and republicans in power is more important than the truth .. very sad.

Outlaw Republicans.

What I see is a bunch of politicians getting paid by taxpayer $$$ to waste time, work on delegitimizing Trump, and NOT doing the things they were elected to do. Let’s see, Dems - Russia conspiracy, Mueller Report, Kavanaugh hearings. Three strikes & you’re out!

Blah blah blah... They complain about everything. Because they're finally getting caught.

Protocol was followed in its entirety... in fact as it was originally laid out by republicans...staying in the lane and moving forward...watching history...

History run deep in the Democratic Party with kangaroo courts, how do you think they hung so many black people in the south in the early 1900’s

Will no one rid us of this turbulent buffoon?

Democrats are losing support by the thousands. Each one should think carefully before taking part in the charade. (Not that they give a rip about law enforcement, but they should take note that their lack of fairness is being seen by millions of uncommitted voters.)

Losers. They should be ashamed of supporting this sociopath.

Bunch of chicken shits

Democrats already announced they won’t hold the vote because they know they don’t have the votes for this farce especially now “whistleblower “ reveled as democratic operative.

Dems accuse GOP of 'potentially dangerous' ploy to unmask Trump whistlebowerFmr. Asst. US Attorney Maya Wiley says the whistleblower's identity is irrelevant because firsthand witnesses have corroborated his or her report, and the GOP's continued focus on the whistleblower is a distraction. AdamSchiff RepAdamSchiff SpeakerPelosi should engage the likes of gtconway3d & bring back BarryBerke to conduct ALL TheDemocrats questioning during the 'open' hearings. You can't afford to **** this up, not this time, considering the failure of the Mueller investigation. CharlieHerndon Except that the whistleblower's identity can never be irrelevant to that person and their family. What Nunes and his little pal are doing is reprehensible, illegal, and dangerous as hell -- to that person. If the whistler blower is still in the WH, then he is a spy

The same percentage of Americans support Trump impeachment probe and disapprove of Dems' handling of itThe high unsatisfaction rate means the constant drip of damning revelations made by current and former officials to lawmakers via private depositions aren't resonating with voters. I would argue that the majority of the sampled population is likely not familar with or has no concept of the rules of the House. Newsweak polls.... Seems legit🙄

Impeaching Trump: New clues on Dems' plan as House holds first floor voteIn a special report, MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber breaks down House Democrats’ newly-released rules which could govern the process by which they continue their impeachment inquiry into President Trump. Melber highlights three new and important bits of information, including procedures to allow for open hearings with committee lawyers, polices to enable Trump and his legal team to participate in the inquiry, and language that leaves the door open for ongoing debates about how broad articles of impeachment should be. Melber highlights how despite Trump’s criticisms, Democrats have actually outlined a process which gives him more power to participate than Presidents Nixon or Clinton had.
