    Default House Judiciary panel preparing vote to define Trump impeachment probe

    Articles of Impeachment are WAY overdue, but the House is moving along albeit slowly


    Source: Politico

    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.

    The panel could vote as early as Wednesday on a resolution to spell out the parameters of its investigation. The precise language is still being hammered out inside the committee and with House leaders. A draft of the resolution is expected to be release Monday morning.

    The issue was raised Friday during a conference call among the committee's Democrats. A source familiar with the discussion said any move next week would be intended to increase the "officialness" of the ongoing probe, following a six-week summer recess in which some Democrats struggled to characterize to their constituents that the House had already begun impeachment proceedings. Democrats are hopeful that explicitly defining their impeachment inquiry will heighten their leverage to compel testimony from witnesses.

    Though the language of the resolution is still in flux, some sources said it could incorporate elements of traditional impeachment probes, such as offering access to the president's attorneys or providing for more time to question witnesses. There was discussion among some Democrats on Friday's call about the strength of the language in the resolution, according to sources briefed on the call.

    After this monstrosity is gone, the USA must take steps to amend portions of The Constitution that have allowed and enabled an amoral racketeering monster such as Trump to ascend to and remain in The Oval Office. Clearly no one ever imagined a calamity such as this in the 1700's.

    are they going to define it as partisan politics?.....
