Well-Well… Speaker-in-Name-Only Pelosi has decided to have a
House Resolution on an Impeachment Inquiry Thursday 10/31/19. That certainly
signifies Pelosi feels she has the votes to follow through with the idiocy of
impeaching for zero crimes.
BUT what I am interested in are those who will go on record –
be it Dems or RINOs – to get rid of a duly elected President who has committed
no crimes such as Slick Willie did in the 1990s. Especially those Dems who won
close and dubious elections in their Districts will probably be gone in
November 2020. AND if any RINOs vote impeachment I pray to God they are primaried
out of Office.
Let’s pay attention on this Halloween Inquiry to see who
needs exorcised election day 2020.

Trump Baits Democrats – Forcing Their Hand
October 29, 2019
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Monday the House will
finally vote this week on a resolution to legitimize the Trump impeachment
inquiry – which is exactly what Trump wanted them to do.
Pelosi sent out a formal letter to Democratic House
lawmakers to say that the resolution “affirms the ongoing, existing
investigation” and “establishes the procedure” for future investigative steps.
“We are taking this step to eliminate any doubt as to
whether the Trump administration may withhold documents, prevent witness testimony,
disregard duly authorized subpoenas, or continue obstructing the House of
Representatives,” Pelosi said.
The vote is slated to take place Thursday on the House
floor.
The actual result that will come from the vote is the
setting of process ground rules. Now the Democrats will have to play by the
rules that they were conveniently ignoring before.
Republicans, fully aware that Pelosi took the bait, seized
the opportunity to go after the Dems.
South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham criticized Democrats by
saying, “A vote now is a bit like un-ringing a bell as House Democrats have
selectively leaked information in order to damage President Trump for weeks.”
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said, “What it
authorizes is that we were right. You can’t go back now.”
The White House pointed out that the move serves as proof
that Democrats have been conducting an “unauthorized” inquiry.
“We won’t be able to comment fully until we see the actual
text, but Speaker Pelosi is finally admitting what the rest of America already
knew – that Democrats were conducting an unauthorized impeachment proceeding,
refusing to give the President due process, and their secret, shady, closed-door
depositions are completely and irreversibly illegitimate,” White House press
secretary Stephanie Grisham said in a statement.
For weeks now, Republicans have been calling for a formal
House vote, arguing that the current handling of impeachment was illegitimate.
Earlier this month, the White House sent a daring eight-page
letter to Pelosi and other top Democrats saying that it would not cooperate
with the fraudulent impeachment inquiry.
“I take pride in the fact that our vigorous response to their
underhanded tactics ended up making the House Democrat position untenable,”
Graham said Monday. “Today, they were forced to change course.”
Pelosi made clear in her letter that the vote is being
conducted because of the pressure put on by Republicans.
She accused Trump and his GOP allies of holding the position
that “because the House has not taken a vote, they may simply pretend the
impeachment inquiry does not exist.”
Even as she announced a formal vote, Pelosi insisted Monday
that this argument “has no merit.”
“This resolution establishes the procedure for hearings
that are open to the American people, authorizes the disclosure of deposition
transcripts, outlines procedures to transfer evidence to the Judiciary
Committee as it considers potential articles of impeachment, and sets forth due
process rights for the president and his counsel,” she said.
Just two weeks ago, however, Pelosi was adamant that there
would be no formal vote at that point, refusing to bend to meet Republican
demands.
Democrats are now saying that Pelosi has changed her mind,
embracing a vote for “strategic reasons.”

A vote done in secret with only Democrats allowed. No Republicans were allowed to cross-examine the witnesses or even to know who the witnesses were. If that isn't a sham for a coup, I don't know what is.
