In a major step in the impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump, the House Intelligence Committee officially voted to approve its impeachment probe report and pass it over to the House Judiciary Committee.

Committee members voted along party lines, with 13 Democrats approving the report and nine Republicans voting in opposition.

The crucial vote formally kicked the impeachment process over to the Judiciary committee, which is scheduled to hold its first hearing on Wednesday at 10 AM EST. After the committee completes its hearings, it will draw up articles of impeachment.

    Along party lines, huh? Even though we have a clear case of Abuse of Power? Word of advice to the media. Please spare me your bleatings about how chagrined and distraught Republicans are in private. That just won’t do. The stakes are too high. It’s time to put up or shut up with no backsies allowed on their deathbed, ala Lee Atwater.

  2. Schiff has issued the “what goes around, comes around” warning to the GOP with respect to the next Democratic administration. Pretty sure that will have no immediate effect on the Republicans, and Fox will hyperventilate about the Democrats threatening to undermine our constitutional republic.

    @castor_troy Looking to be sued by Nunes?

  3. What makes you think I’m not Nunes?

    Not that there’s any doubt among thinking people but this is still considered a “may” not a “will”.
