U.S. House impeachment inquiry to intensify; President Donald Trump remains defiant by DMorganReuters

WASHINGTON - The House of Representatives impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump over his request that a foreign power investigate a domestic political rival is set to intensify this week with testimony due from witnesses concerning allegations made by a whistleblower within the U.S. intelligence community.

Democrats have accused Trump of pressuring a vulnerable U.S. ally to get dirt on a political rival for personal political gain. Trump’s July 25 phone call came after he froze nearly $400 million in aid intended to help Ukraine deal with an insurgency by Russian-backed separatists in the eastern part of the country. The aid was later provided.

While Congress is on a two-week recess, members of the committee will return to the U.S. Capitol this week to carry out an investigation that is likely to produce new subpoenas for documents and other material. On Wednesday, three House committees - Intelligence, Foreign Affairs and Oversight - are due to get a deposition from former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, who Trump labeled “bad news” during his call with Zelenskiy.

“In my mind, it’s several weeks,” House Judiciary Committee member David Cicilline told reporters last week. “He has already admitted that he contacted a foreign leader and discussed with him ginning up a fake story about one of his political opponents.”

Good maybe he will identify his sources in the White House so they can be prosecuted for leaking classified info. No other purpose to appear since Trump has already released the transcript for the world to see. Dems look really stupid and unethical.

The democrats did this very well, everyone is talking about the President but NOT ONE DEMOCRAT wants what Biden did to be investigated. Are they ok with what he did? Are they ok with what Leahy, Durbin, Menendez and Murphy did? They need to get their priorities straight.

The greatest scam is Trump being President. The transcript reveals the corruption. Trump must be held accountable and have criminal charges brought against himself as well as everybody else that had connection with Trump's coup. This country cannot be ran by organized crime.

Look at you LindseyGrahamSC ... a real prima donna, working hard to defend a conman traitor. You must have a real salacious scandal hidden, something that you’re desperate to keep SECRET. We’re going to find out everything!

That's good.

DemocratCoup

House intelligence committee. Hahahahahahahahahaha. Stop or you will make me pee.

But behind closed doors right? What a joke

Putin has pictures of Lindsey blowing Diaper Donny.

I want to know why Schiff sent his aid to Ukraine- what was discussed. Why was the initial investigation of Hunter Biden shut down?

DMorganReuters Just a. Observation the report is meticulously crafted to seem to say so much on first read but a reread or study reveals it is nothing more than a series of statements without an attributed and verifiable source so in reality are hearsay at best fiction at worst.Just read report

DMorganReuters ....as the narrative continues to unravel and the REAL truth comes out! DeepStatePanic

DMorganReuters Would this be actual witnesses - or hearsay witnesses or hearsay? Also... Will they start accurately quoting the transcript? Or will they continue to pretend the conversation was entirely different than it actually was? Given people can read, how that last part continues...wow

DMorganReuters Not gonna go well. But then again, we will only hear what is said by partisan hacks running to the microphone, so there is that.

DMorganReuters No president in history has been removed from office with impeachment. This one has done nothing wrong, but has taken on a corrupt deep state attempting to overthrow him. Impeachments proceedings will seal his reelection as more criminality of his accusers is exposed. Count on it

Ex-White House official says Trump phone call memos limitedA former White House official says the White House severely restricted distribution of memos detailing President Trump's calls with foreign leaders, including Russia's Vladimir Putin and Saudi Arabia's Mohammed bin Salman.
