Meetings held behind closed doors for security reasons are not secret investigations. Republican members are present and participate in those hearings too. While I want the process to be fair for all, I also want Trump to honor subpoenas properly issued. It is not for him to say whether the...

1. The constitution does not specify the process to be used by the House. It is left to the House itself to decide how to proceed with it's pre-impeachment inquiry. 2. You raise a valid point regarding the fairness of the process to both Republicans and Democrats. 3. What the House is doing is...

Turkey says it wont' bow to US over its Syria plans It appears that Trump's view of himself as the chosen one who has great and unmatched wisdom differs from the view Turkey has of him. To Turkey, Trump is a chump who they can manipulate and bend to their will.

The self-proclaimed "stable genius" speaks again: ",,, if Turkey does anything that I, in my great and unmatched wisdom, consider to be off limits, I will totally destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey (I’ve done before!)." Trump has not totally destroyed and obliterated the economy of...

Judge dismisses Trump request to keep taxes secret in New York Trump is using every resource available to him to delay and obstruct every investigation he can. But time and the law is not on his side. Eventually it will all come out and justice will be served. In this New York case, he makes an...

Yes, the president released the transcript (actually a summary, not the transcript itself). But that's only part of the story. The rest of the story is in the whistleblower's complaint, evidence being developed by House investigations, criminal referrals made to the Justice Department by at...

Regarding, Biden, Trump's onslaughts and Biden's flatfooted response (or lack of response) have hurt Biden. That's a side issue. Biden will be the Democratic nominee or not, investigated or not, and/or found in the wrong or not, depending on how events play out. Whatever happens or does not...

The event is significant because the second whistleblower is said to have first-hand knowledge. Trump criticized the first one for having second and third-hand knowledge. If the second whistleblower is as credible as the first, he/she destroys Trump's argument. The argument was ineffective...

ABC News: 2nd Whistleblower Comes Forward Mark Zaid, the attorney representing the whistleblower who sounded the alarm on President Donald Trump's dealings with Ukraine and triggered an impeachment inquiry, tells ABC News that he is now representing a second whistleblower who has spoken with...

While fundraising is certainly an indicator of support it does not follow that the candidate or message with the most money behind it wins. Example: Bernie Sanders. Stronger fundraiser than most but loosing ground in the polls. It's not always the case that the one with the most money wins. Nor...

What's significant at this point is the fact that the Senate is talking about taking it up at all. It now appears highly likely that the House will impeach. Years and months ago, some people were saying that would never happen. Now people are not saying it won't happen. They're talking as if it...

Movement 1. House initiates impeachment inquiry 2. McConnell says he has no choice but to take up the matter if the House votes to impeach 3. Voters evenly split over impeachment/removal from office, poll says 4. Poll: Support for impeachment rises among independents and Republicans

The question of McConnell's response to a House impeachment vote has now been answered. From NBC News: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Monday that the Senate would have to hold a trial if the House passes articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump. "I would have no...

That's a good question. Starting with Mcconnell himself, we know from news reports like this one what he said in March, 2019, months before House action to impeach became likely: Excerpt: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said months ago that if the House goes ahead and impeaches...

In this case, yes, Trump is the bad guy. He committed a crime and, surprisingly to me, confessed to it.

Interesting question. I do not have an immediate answer. I do see in this article that McConnell said months ago that “if the House were to act, the Senate immediately goes into a trial.”

They have on him what they have always had (election law violations, obstruction of justice, emoluments violations, etc.). None of that has gone away. The fact that they have not yet brought these into articles of impeachment does not preclude them from doing so at a later date. Nothing fell...

The usual recess will happen but vacation it is not. Some are staying in Washington to do impeachment work. Others are heading to town meetings and local media to speak their "lawless president" message. Impeachment momentum will build during the recess, not fade. Story here

You are of course welcome to say what you believe is worthy of impeachment and not worthy. So are the members of the House of Representatives. In light of recent developments, they are moving toward impeachment in ways the did not before.
