"It's going to be a challenge because if they were to bring articles of impeachment and get to the point where there's a trial, ostensibly the president should be able to see all the evidence against him," said Asha Rangappa, a former FBI counterintelligence agent. "Are they willing to make that tradeoff? They would need to work with the CIA and allies to get particular sources to safety if they're human sources.
One former Judiciary Committee official said the Intelligence Committee's involvement could assuage a court's concern about how grand jury information would be handled.Sign Up
govtrack GOOD. HURRY UP.
And our biased press just looks the other way and smiles. Just sayin.
Isn't that what they call an OXYMORON. House 'INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE' Like Military Intelligence or ANY Government agency using the term Intelligence. Anyone working a Govt job is like a vegetarian ALL vegetables!. You have to be a Vegetable to work for the govt.
They crucified Jesus to save their system now it's to save the Birth-Right of Humanity the Singularity of He/She.
I'm not even reading this. No - it's not unprecidented. That's who is supposed to start Impeachment proceedings. Yawn on Politico.
MadasHe44212755 Meanwhile trump uses the presidency in an unprecedented way to usurp Congress
This is disgusting and showing their desperation.
No, the Democrats are using the house as an investigative arm of the US Government to impeach a President who is a traitor, a liar, a hater, a thief, a cheat, & a biggot! This is being brought on by Trump due to his egregious actions, & his hateful behavior. DUMP TRUMP IN 2020!😠
In today’s world, the words Democrat and Intelligence cannot be used in the same sentence! I’m glad I walked away from this party in 2016! These endless hysterical investigations are a waste of taxpayer money & resources! I’m sick of it!
Adam Schiff , 'Mr, 'There Is Compelling Evidence In Plain Sight Of Trump-Russia Collusion' is a liar and partizan who has no evidence of anything. He seems delusional making off the wall comments with CNN and Politico following with baited breath
Lol. Hilarious
An unlawful way you mean.
Isn't that an oxymoron? House intelligence committee. Hahaha. The biggest idiots and buffoons in the world sit in that room and waste money. Why was it created? I think we, as the American people need to rethink these 'committees'.
