[ May 5, 2024 ]
U.S. Acting Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Philip Reeker told House impeachment investigators over the weekend that he was unaware of the alleged quid pro quo offer at the center of the probe. And the U.S. Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan told Senators Wednesday that he “was not aware” of any effort to pressure Ukraine to investigate former vice president Joe Biden and his son in exchange for military aid.
So the jig is up, right? Wrong. Now the enemedia is taking its talking points from its Democrat masters pursuing the impeachment hoax and moving away from the July 25 phone call that triggered the probe, saying the alleged quid pro quo offer “evolved over time.”
It’s a political persecution at the highest level.

House Impeachment Resolution Authorizes Fishing Expedition Probes that Go Far Beyond Ukraine
The House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry resolution would officially authorize probes into U.S. President Donald Trump that are unrelated to the Ukraine-linked allegations that triggered the investigation to impeach him, including efforts to obtain the commander in chief’s tax returns.Unveiled on Tuesday, the text of the resolution states that the measure orders “certain committees” to continue investigating whether there is sufficient evidence to impeach Trump and “for other purposes,” without explaining what those purposes are.
In other words, the resolution, expected to be voted on this week, would authorize any ongoing Trump investigations under the sun. The measure is expansive, breathing new life into a wide range of non-Ukraine probes, including an ongoing investigation by the House Judiciary Committee into whether Trump paid money to silence sexual affairs accusations.
Echoing some Republican lawmakers, the White House has rejected the resolution as an “illegitimate sham.”
House Democrat impeachment investigators are supposed to be trying to determine if Trump abused his power by allegedly pressuring Ukraine to investigate corruption allegations against Joe Biden and his son Hunter in exchange for aid during a July 25 call.
A “whistleblower” complaint accusing Trump of making the alleged quid pro quo offer during the call triggered the impeachment inquiry. Trump and Ukraine have denied the allegation.
House Democrats, however, have signaled that they are moving beyond the Ukraine-linked allegations and making the impeachment probe a fishing expedition.
Some of the House committees authorized to investigate Trump by the resolution are not directly involved in the impeachment inquiry process.
So far, the House Committees on Oversight and Reform, Intelligence, and Foreign Affairs have been conducting the investigation. Ordinarily, the House Judiciary Committee manages the argument for impeachment. During the impeachment investigation into Trump, however, the House Committee on Intelligence led by Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) has taken the lead of the probe.
The resolution directs:
Certain committees to continue their ongoing investigations as part of the existing House of Representatives inquiry into whether sufficient grounds exist for the House of Representatives to exercise its Constitutional power to impeach Donald John Trump, President of the United States of America, and for other purposes.
…
The Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the Committees on Financial Services, Foreign Affairs, the Judiciary, Oversight and Reform, and Ways and Means, are directed to continue their ongoing investigations as part of the existing House of Representatives inquiry into whether sufficient grounds exist for the House of Representatives to exercise its Constitutional power to impeach Donald John Trump, President of the United States of America.
The powerful Democrat-led House Ways and Means Committee has demanded Trump’s personal and corporate tax returns. Trump has refused to release that information.
Meanwhile, the House Financial Services and Intelligence Committees have subpoenaed some banks for years of financial documents from the president, his two sons, and daughter, as well as the president’s companies. The House panels have asked Deutsche Bank to hand over some of the Trump tax returns in its possession.
Some of the House committees mentioned in the resolution are also looking into potential conflicts of interest involving Trump’s businesses.
The Financial Services Committee, led by the ardently anti-Trump Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), is also “investigating possible ties between Russian financial institutions, Mr. Trump and anyone affiliated with him,” the Wall Street Journal noted in early May.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (R-NY), one of Trump’s most vocal critics, is also investigating Trump’s business dealings. Some of the committee investigations legitimized by the resolution are trying to revive the Robert Mueller Russian collusion hoax investigation.
The Democrat-led committees highlighted in the resolution have spent months investigating allegations that Trump used his office to make money in violation of the law, obstructed justice during the Mueller investigation, and paid hush-money to women.
Under the resolution, those investigations would officially become part of the impeachment inquiry, radically expanding the probe far beyond Ukraine.
The resolution orders the House intelligence panel to transfer the impeachment probe evidence it collects to the Judiciary Committee, which is expected to draft articles of impeachment based on the other committees’ findings.
If the Democrat-led House approves those articles, the Senate would then hold a trial to decide if they want to convict or acquit Trump. Two-thirds (67 members) of the Senate would have to vote in favor of convicting Trump to remove him from office.
Trump has accused the Democrats of trying to overturn the results of the 2016 election with their impeachment efforts.

The civil war will be just the American people against a group of kids armed with dildos, and against the personal bodyguards of the democrats, which will be the main targets of the war. That would be easy as pie and it will finish rather quick.

Pelosi is so senile she has no idea how transparent she is. Nobody but the 30 percent hardcore Communist and Islamist malcontents and terrorists buys anything slurring from her nasty mouth.
Can’t someone please shut crony junta mouthpieces Julie Banderas and Chris Wallace up? Where is stalwart Susan Smith when we need her? Why did they sideline her for this ignominious day?
The Deep State Nationals won the World Series in the first ever series when ever one of seven games was won by the visiting team. After I saw that Nationals stadium full of cronies Boo Trump at Game 5, I was done with that team forever. That and the Texas Rangers are the only MLB teams that I will always HATE.
Every one of seven games in this 2019 World Series was won by the visitors, by the enemy.
And the Deep State Nationals took home the spoils.

Hello there, little andi. The vote was to have an inquiry, wherein the Executive Branch has NO representation, Republicans cannot call witnesses, unless given the approval of the Democrat Party members, and any transcripts can be “edited” by the Democrat Party, NOT redacted, but actually changed. Quite the vote wasn’t it little one?

I’ve pretty much given up on soap, ballot and jury. I’m into the “Beans ‘n Bullets” box. I definitely go with your last listed box, but at my age, I need to have something to eat. Beans ‘n Bullets.

The conduct of the Democratic Party is comparable to
bullying that goes on between children in school and in playgrounds that has
become a national disgrace. As human beings we have evolved to the point where
we must always stand up for ourselves, reject the notion of forced conduct on
others, and play any game according to the rules and rightness expectations of
the situation. Losing the 2016 election to Trump has caused those within this
Party to lose their total sense of fairness. To put it mildly, they are acting
like sore losers, doing everything to obstruct (bully) this President, which
includes a baseless impeachment inquiry, while forgetting the needs of the
people they represent. POTUS has a duty under our constitution to protect
America. That duty involves his being initially responsible for conducting
foreign affairs. Determining who among us, or what foreign person(s) may have
acted contrary to America’s needs is just one of the consequences that are
involved with conducting foreign affairs. The bottom line is that he is
responsible, as part of his duty, to uncover who may have acted contrary to
America’s best interests, or used his or her position to fraudulently benefit them
by any method that might impact negatively on our country. Therefore, I see
nothing being discussed or that is factual that would prompt the likes of
Impeachment, and the whole concept reeks with political fraud. I hope that this
nonsense ends with the House rejecting this inane and undemocratic activity, as
it seems to be certain that the measure will never get through the Senate.

I suspect Congress will impeach Trump and the Senate MAY hold in Trump’s favor.
We only have a thin majority – four people. Will those four people vote AGAINST Trump?
They are the major RINOS that often do. If they vote FOR impeachment, Trump will be impeached.
This is very serious.
Meet the vocal RINOS who typically vote with the DEMS and not real happy with Trump –
Mittens (Utah),
Mike Lee (Utah),
Susan Collins (Maine),
Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and
Susan Collins (Maine)
and there are others.
Will they vote FOR or AGAINST impeachment?

Though we can no longer expect the media to actively report that the so-called inquiry discovers nothing that rises to the level of “high crimes and misdemeanors,” that even comes close to rising to the level of an impeachable offense which should be the true result, I am still hopeful that the public will recognize from what legitimate reporting is forthcoming that no grounds truly exist for impeachment, and the popular response may un-nerve the Democrats that they will not secure the numbers they need to pass an actual impeachment determination in the House, and therefore the Senate will not ever be concerned with having to deal with that issue. We can hope, with the ultimate expectation that the House members will then get back to passing legislation that is in the best interests of the people of this great country that we live in, and finally move away from their sore loser fraudulent approach that seems so obvious..

Could the frenzy to bring this impeachment resolution to a vote be a ploy to beat the Inspector General’s report that surely will be damaging to many in the Obama Administration? By creating a major distraction, the dems can accuse Trump of trying to vindicate himself by using the report against those who had been under investigation.

“It is a human characteristic, which has been richly exploited in every
era, that while hope of survival is still alive in a man, while he still
believes his troubles will have a favorable outcome, and while he still
has the chance to unmask treason or to save someone else by sacrificing
himself, he continues to cling to the pitiful remnants of comfort and
remains silent and submissive. When he has been taken and destroyed,
when he has nothing more to lose, and is, in consequence, ready and
eager for heroic action, his belated rage can only spend itself against
the stone walls of solitary confinement. Or the breath of the death
sentence makes him indifferent to earthly affairs.”
― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
