As I sit here and watch the democrats convene in secret in the House by not demanding that impeachment be held to a vote and as their proceedings continue in secret, I can't help but wonder, has the Star Chamber returned?
They conduct themselves in secrecy, much like they did discussing Obamacare even though Obama promised the proceedings would be help in full public view. And we later saw the corruption of the Obamacare discussions held in secret as members of their own party were bribed to vote for it. In fact, they continue to feed their state owned press dirty little rumors every day about impeachmet. Is this really their tactic for 2020?
But then, if we did actually see what they are saying and doing, if their secret e-mails were ever to be made public, then like Hillary and dirty Joe Biden, they would all be behind bars, or at least, everyone knows they should be.

Is it constitutionally acceptable for the House speaker to initiate an impeachment “by means of nothing more than a press conference”? In short, yes.
The constitutional text on this issue is spare. The Constitution simply says that the House has the sole power of impeachment. Ultimately, if the House wants to impeach someone, it needs to muster a simple majority in support of articles of impeachment that can be presented to the Senate. How the House gets there is entirely up to the chamber itself to determine.

@mchill saidDoes this have any precedent?

Also, why the secrecy?
How long have they had to do this now?
And why did Pelosi change her mind about impeachment? Was the Mueller report not enough for her?

"I am not part of whatever drug deal Sondland and Mulvaney are cooking up," Bolton said to Hill, according to witnesses of her Monday testimony. "Giuliani’s a hand grenade who’s going to blow everybody up."

He's going to blow "everyone" up? Even Bolton?

@Metal-Brain......'Dunno, took 'em 4 years and $70 million to find
out that Bill Clinton got a blowjob in the White House. Talk about
'High crimes and Misdemeanors', Sure sounds a lot worse than fixing elections.
@whodey saidAnswers to these questions have been given to you in past posts, by No1Maruder, SH76 and others here, so look it up, since they seem to be getting tired of spoon feeding you this info. again and again.

@whodey saidAll of this concern for the rule of law of a sudden. And yet so untimely, seeing as the House has no legal obligation whatsoever to tip its hand to Trump at every turn so as to apprise him of which evidence to destroy or what justice to obstruct. Oh my.
