This is semantics. It has already begun. Rep. Nadler and the Judiciary Committee are already doing a de facto impeachment inquiry.B.A. Bearacus said:
Ok now, let's begin.
I've been guesstimating the impeachment hammer would drop during the dog days of summer. See, even the GOP have to rest...and that's when to take out the knives, when enemy rests and Trump is off the news cycle. And now it's August 2nd. Hammer hasn't dropped yet, but it looks like they're gearing up.Quote:
Those eager for the start of an official inquiry by the U.S. House Judiciary Committee into the possible impeachment of President Trump need wait no longer.
A memorandum, submitted by the committee on July 26 to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and signed by the general counsel of the U.S. House of Representatives, makes clear that such an inquiry has begun.
The memorandum is in support of an application for access to all redactions of grand jury material in the Mueller report, in grand jury materials referenced in the report, and to any grand jury testimony or material directly related to four topics. The topics include the president's knowledge of Russian interference in the 2016 election, links and contacts of his associates directly or indirectly with Russia, and criminal acts by anyone associated with his administration or campaign.
Under Rule 6(e) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, a judge may grant access to confidential grand jury material when sought in preparation for, or use in, a judicial proceeding. The committee urges that an impeachment investigation is a judicial proceeding for purposes of this exception to grand jury secrecy.
Then the committee makes clear that it is engaged in just such an impeachment investigation. Its statement is unequivocal: "The Committee seeks Rule 6(e) materials to further its ongoing investigation and assessment of whether to recommend articles of impeachment."

Probably similar to the last thing he said before getting fired from his 5th grade counseling job.GBear4Life said:
Right on cue. A bunch of deluded self righteous pr*cks in an echo chamber of their own making using crying children they don't care about to illogically advance their political narratives. Exploiting that playbook with trite calls to compassion and empathy.
No way. Those 5th graders were far more reasonable and open to other perspectives than BI.B.A. Bearacus said:Probably similar to the last thing he said before getting fired from his 5th grade counseling job.GBear4Life said:

No surprises about the GOP and RWNJs lack of empathy. For **** sake...the GOP is now made up of White Supremacists and Trump has Nazis working for him. Heck, these idiots would strangle their own mother if Trump suggested it. Yes, they are that stupid.

Keep the ICE raids coming. Nobody benefits from these raids more than other hispanics and minorities.
Leftist progressives want to exploit "brown plight" for moral self affirmation, as their NIMBYism and intentional conflation of race and culture will never leave them in a position where they have to live/interact with these people in these neighborhoods.
