>House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to announce a formal impeachment inquiry into President Trump, a dramatic turnaround by the Democratic leader that sets up a constitutional and political clash pitting the Congress against the nation’s chief executive.

>Pelosi (D-Calif.) is slated to make her announcement later on Tuesday after a closed-door meeting with her Democrat caucus, according to Democratic officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to freely describe private deliberations.
>“As soon as we have the facts, we’re ready. Now that we have the facts, we’re ready,” Pelosi said at a forum hosted by The Atlantic. “For later today.”

>Pelosi and top Democrats have been privately discussing the creation of a select committee to conduct the possible impeachment of Trump, according to multiple lawmakers and congressional aides, underscoring the momentum among Democrats to try to oust the president.
>The California Democrat has spoken to key allies in recent days about establishing a special panel rather than leaving the task with the House Judiciary Committee, said several Democratic officials. Nothing has been decided, the individuals cautioned, but some members are expected to publicly endorse the move soon.

>The creation of a special committee is expected to come up at a series of Democratic meetings planned for Tuesday afternoon, when Pelosi will address her caucus on impeachment for the first time since the news about Trump’s conversations with Ukraine broke.
>Over the past 48 hours, a tranche of Democrats who opposed impeachment have come out in favor of an inquiry, a total that now exceeds 150 out of 235, according to a Washington Post analysis.

>The notion of a select committee is already causing consternation in the Democratic caucus and has the potential to spark a turf war about who will take the lead in the process. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) tweeted that Democrats “don’t have the luxury of time w/ another committee,” backing the House Judiciary Committee’s claim to oversee the proceedings.
>“Judiciary has been investigating& putting the pieces together for months,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote. “Impeachment belongs there. We must honor jurisdiction, historical precedent,& work done + allow Judiciary to move forward.”
>The creation of a select committee would be a blow to the Judiciary panel, which has taken the lead on the Democratic investigations and has already discussed possible articles, even hiring outside counsel to lead a possible impeachment. But some senior Democrats have been unhappy with how the panel has handled its investigative work and hearings, blaming the committee for the House’s failure to move public sentiment in favor of impeachment in recent months.
>A select committee would give Pelosi more power over the process. Pelosi would be able to name the lawmakers on the committee, for example. Many say she’s already eyeing a way to give House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.), one of her closest allies, a greater role in any investigation.

Yes it is a bit of the same old tired song. But perhaps this is the final song now when Pelosi also is singing. They have been talking about impeachment for so long that they had to pull the trigger at one point. Might be a sign of how desperate the Democrats are for the upcoming election.

I think Pelosi knows that AOC and the rest of the radical left has taken full control of the Democratic party and she had no choice besides siding with them in a call for impeachment.

They underestimate how much people were enjoying the Trump economy and the the relative political stability (compared to 2016). Trump plays the villain well but when the dems throw the country into turmoil and threaten the economy they'll find out real fast how thin the hate for Trump is and just how vulnerable all the "safe" democrat districts are. 2020 is going to be a bloodbath for the dems.

So... it's an internal power struggle over who gets to be the one in charge of the thing that would be popular with the base?
Or, who gets stuck holding the grenade when voters decide Dems look vindictive and unfit to govern.

Trump asked them to cooperate with the justice department . There is apparently a treaty that Clinton and the democrats made with them allowing for just such requests apparently.

>Trump asks if House Intel Chair Adam Schiff should face ‘arrest for treason’ as impeachment probe gathers steam

>President Donald Trump on Monday suggested that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff could face “arrest for treason” over his recent statement about Trump’s call with Ukraine’s president.
>“Rep. Adam Schiff illegally made up a FAKE & terrible statement, pretended it to be mine as the most important part of my call to the Ukrainian President, and read it aloud to Congress and the American people,” Trump tweeted.
>“It bore NO relationship to what I said on the call. Arrest for Treason?” he added.

>Neither the White House nor a spokesman for Schiff immediately responded to CNBC’s request for comment on the president’s tweet.

>Schiff knew of whistleblower complaint before it was filed

>House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff knew about the details of the whistleblower's complaint against President Trump before it was filed because the CIA officer went to one of the committee aides beforehand, according to the New York Times.

>The complaint was filed in August in regards to Trump's conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his subsequent request for the foreign leader to jump-start an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter. The younger Biden was on the board of a Ukrainian gas company, Burisma, which was investigated for corruption, but he was not accused of any illegal activity.
>Schiff has played an active role in the president's ire on the matter of the whistleblower complaint and the subsequent impeachment inquiry. The president has repeatedly called for his resignation after he read a fake copy of the president's conversation with Zelensky during acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire's testimony in front of his committee last week.

>Ukraine official to review probe tied to Joe Biden's son Hunter

>Ukraine’s top legal official said Friday that his office would review a probe into the owner of a natural-gas company linked to former Vice President Joe Biden’s son.

>Ruslan Ryaboshapka, Ukraine’s general prosecutor, said during a press conference that the review is part of a wider audit of at least 15 high-profile past investigations that were closed or dismissed by his predecessors.
>The announcement Friday comes as an impeachment inquiry over President Donald Trump's dealings with Ukraine consumes Washington. But Ryaboshapkasaid the decision to review the cases was not specifically related to the time Hunter Biden spent on the board of Burisma, Ukraine’s largest private natural-gas firm, or allegations from the Trump administration that Joe Biden improperly applied pressure on Ukraine to have an investigation into Burisma halted.

>Attorneys for CIA Officer Behind Trump Complaint Say They Now Represent 'Multiple Whistleblowers'

>At least one additional whistleblower with firsthand knowledge of the circumstances around President Trump’s July call with his Ukrainian counterpart has come forward, according to lawyers representing both the individual and the CIA officer whose initial complaint helped spark an impeachment inquiry.

>“I can confirm that my firm and my team represent multiple whistleblowers,” Andrew Bakaj, the lead attorney for the first whistleblower, wrote in a tweet. “No further comment at this time.”
>That person has been interviewed by the intelligence community inspector general, Michael Atkinson, triggering whistleblower protections as provided by federal law, but hasn’t filed a separate formal whistleblower complaint, Mr. Zaid said. ABC reported on Sunday that the legal team was representing a second whistleblower. Mr. Atkinson’s office didn’t respond to a request for comment.

>In a statement Sunday, White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said: “It doesn’t matter how many people decide to call themselves whistleblowers about the same telephone call—a call the president already made public—it doesn’t change the fact that he has done nothing wrong.”

Yeah yeah, the whistleblower (who is not a whistleblower they're a gossip (((merchant))), having only relayed what they were told by someone else, who was likewise told the information by someone else, so a 3rd hand whistleblower) and apparently now the other whistleblower (the 2nd hand one) are now both getting involved.
Tl;dr No one with any first hand evidence or testimony has said shit, and even if they tried there's still that nasty issue of the fact that the phone transcripts have already been released

Just like those multiple women who were supposedly molested by Brett Kavanaugh. These faggots just keep trying the same thing over and over hoping it will work this time. It's all so tiresome.
