The House Judiciary Committee is preparing to take its first formal vote to define what Chairman Jerry Nadler calls an ongoing “impeachment investigation” of President Donald Trump, according to multiple sources briefed on the discussions.
Advocates of opening a formal impeachment inquiry against Trump have clamored for the Judiciary Committee to more clearly spell out the contours of its investigation -- a move they hope strengthens the House’s hand in a handful of court cases to obtain evidence and testimony against the president.Sign Up
The committee has also repeatedly described an ongoing “impeachment investigation” in court filings submitted during the recess, part of legal efforts to compel testimony from witnesses to allegations that Trump attempted to obstruct an investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election. By declaring impeachment under active consideration, the committee has sought to convince judges of the urgency of providing Democrats with the evidence they're seeking.
Until now, Trump-related investigations had been a patchwork effort by six congressional committees. The Ways and Means Committee, for example, is pursuing Trump's tax returns in court. The Financial Services Committee and Intelligence Committee are seeking Trump's financial records from Deutsche Bank and Capital One.
Almost 3 years and they keep failing, because they have NOTHING and wasting taxpayers money
Pls put it high gear!
SpeakerPelosi Surely Speaker Pelosi will consider this now. She can’t possibly need to gather any more information.
Use a dictionary and save some time.
WomenSaveUSA “Preparing.” Jeez, get to it, it’s an emergency!! 😧🤡👻
This President commitment to national goals against determined interest force with money behind the scenes, encourage women and men to have a open view about the politician and demagoguery
Impeach this mf already.. then bag it...let Mitch blow in the wind..you label Trump as an Impeached Criminal.. end of the game.
All I can say to this is, 'It's about damned time'.
This obsession is a major problem! Leave President Trump alone! You guys need to get your heads screwed on straight!!
We are exhausted.
I wish they would hurry up!
😂😂😂 idiots
NADLER AND MOST OF THE HOUSE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ASSHOLES ARE PREPARING TO VOTE FOR IMPEACHMENT WHEN THEY FAIL THEY SHOULD BE MARCHED OUTSIDE OF CONGRESS AND SHOT AS TRAITORS AS THEY ARE THEY ARE NOT DOUNG THE PEOPLES BIDDING BUT THIER OWN CORRUPT SELVES !!!
This is the best news of the day.
This is really gonna get him now
Impeachment is easy. Conviction is hard. The case must be air tight. Take your time. Assure it's right. MoscowMitch will drive an acquittal freight train through any even microscopic gap. KamalaHarris ewarren RepJerryNadler SpeakerPelosi
How about they work on the $23,000,000,000,000 debt we have, of which $12,000,000,000,000 debt was added during Obama and $6,000,000,000,000 of debt was added during the first 2 years of Obama when Dems controlled both houses of congress Payoffdebt
Desperation in the evil Democrat mafia. Their wish of bad economy, Armageddon, hurricane hitting Florida bc they need those votes, no wall, hi unemployment, war, Mueller report. It’s almost like God is on the side of Trump. 🤣😂🇺🇸🤛🏽
I sure hope so.
It’s TIME TO IMPEACH!!!!
Z-z-z-z. It's a pipe dream as long as the GOP has Senate control, and will make him look like a martyr and fire up his base. Speaking of Senate control, the best route to rein in this lunatic is to focus on precisely that. Then IF the pig wins, he'll be a political eunuch.
I question how corrupt people intend to fight corruption without fighting themselves, unless it's a matter of only being guilty if you're caught by the wrong person.
LOL Seriously Mr. Potato head himself. What a waste of Americas Judicial Time and resources. Obviously the Dim/Lib can/will not do their JOB as their position collecting pay from the Treasury so they each one must be removed with someone that will work for the People. Your fired.
About time.
He looks like he's into anal probes.
How did that Mueller hearing go Nadler?Need to probe the TDS Democrat knuckleheads on Judiciary panel.
And Nadler and Pelosi continue to rearrange deck chairs on the Titanic.
And so begins the end of HICKEY, the ICEMAN COMETH
Oooh! This time for sure, guys!!! All those other times were just practice. This one's the real deal!!! 😃😃😃
They are taking too long.😡
And so it begins.
Hurry up, already!
Good deal.
It’s about time! I just hope this is a let’s getter done!
Talk about moving slowly...
It’s about time they did something useful.
so this is the only hope we have left to save our democracy? Pretty pathetic is you ask me
Officialness.
Trump_Movement_ If this had ever a hint of legitimacy, we could possibly support. However, Nadler is obviously concerned about 2020. The Dems have such a weak field. They need to get Trump out of the way for any chance to win.
Repeat after me: A CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE CANNOT VOTE TO EXPAND ITS OWN JURISDICTION.
what a waste of time, money, focus, and the 2020 election.
Getter done Dems!
Why not focus on doing the right thing and trust the process? I know Dems fear tearing the country apart but they may have more support than they think.
Good luck. Mueller fizzled like flat Pepsi. What are you going to bank on, Sharpiegate?
Don't they have enough impeachable offenses to pursue? I am sick of reading about this testimony & that testimony. His base doesn't care and the Senate will not remove him. So lets just IMPEACH him already !!!
Nope
Nuts
sounds stupid but I'm not a Congressman Republicans resign due to DEM President and Investigations it works for me.
Nadler held various NY government jobs since 1972. This is how Nadler came to hate Trump so much, butting heads over the decades regarding Trump's various NY real estate projects. Instead of recusing, Nadler is using his position as Judiciary Chair to pursue decades old revenge.
I’m always dubious of anything that starts, “Dems hope...”
How much longer are we going to have to put up with that orange turf? This ball could’ve been rolling months ago! What’s the holdup?
These TheDemocrats are clowns 🤡 🤣😂🤣
So al the ignored subpoenas don’t give one pause?
Never a bad idea
Finally!!!!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is desperation. Nothing impeachable has been done...and the Senate will never agree to it. I wasn't fully decided...but this will push this black man to vote for Trump.
About DAMNED time! Let's get this impeachment going at Mach 4.
What’s new! Lmao
I look forward to Trump's impeachment.
Abuse of power by these swamp people
GretaResister Let's get this party started impeachtheMF
It's about time... Get the ball Rollin baby!
NADLER IS RIDICULOUS... A PATHETIC CLOWN....
Finally
What does that mean exactly, cause from where I'm sitting, as a layman of the law, that whole crooked ass family just keeps getting away with everything! Almost every day there is a 'breaking' news report of something illegal and yet never a consequence
Next Wednesday? How about TODAY!!!
Oh look little mansplainers, it appears SpeakerPelosi has a plan. 🤨
The liar deserves it. The impeachment will leave a stain his record as an illegitimate, incompetent, immoral, incoherent and bigoted vile president, for posterity!!!!
More wasted taxpayers dollars but they don’t care
Should be viewed in pair with voices on m.-decline?
“Dude gotta GO!!!!”
Perhaps there is still hope. The Republican House and Senate aren't even pretending to do their jobs. Workers, taxpayers, consumers and voters are severely under-represented.
'strengthen their leverage to compel testimony from witnesses.' Seriously? Isn't that what subpoena's 'used' to be for? I mean WTAF? SUBPOENA THE MF'ers and if they ignore it then lock the fvckers up! Our GD country is at stake! If you all could grow a pair that'd be great.
Hilarious 😂😂😂
Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No time to lose.
impeachment to Nadler and Company ! 2020 🇺🇸 trump
DarDar458 We should be doing it now without delay.
For what ... a complete waste of time and money ... you should be ashamed of yourselves Dems ... get to work and do something to help America and Americans ... instead of playing childish political games ... ENOUGH!!! 🛑
Appropriate date for a vote.
I know there’s a ton of evidence this week alone! Let’s try and move this along shall we gentlemen and gentle ladies. It’s only our democracy at stake. 🇺🇸 RepJerryNadler
Now that's making America great again if you ask me!
If Pelosi balks, replace her with a new speaker.
bobmuellerwkrn We should be so lucky.
Don't hold your breath. They will spend months trying to get witnesses to testify. Then they will threaten subpoenas for months, by then.... No one will care anymore.
Thank you and finally.
PatriotNoTrump You don't mean that an actual step toward impeachment is about to be taken? Faint & fall over!
If they tack Mr. Barr onto the thing, I'll believe it's something more than the usual hot air.
Ah we have been waiting for you to wake up!
SharonCoryell3 As I look at that pic, it appears the woman on his left is looking at him and thinking, really dude, seriously give me a break. LOL
Yes!
Do it!
AmericanWhoaMan Moving along folks. Finally too much shite to not. Glad to see this SpeakerPelosi RepJerryNadler
Why the hell are you taking so long?
Yaaaaaaawn
Yawn. Wake me when it's happening.
I haven't missed them while they were gone
Impeach for what!? 💩? It will fail just like the rest of the HouseDemocrats obstructionist pathetic agenda.
The penguin has got to go.
😴😴😴
Right!
