New: Adam Schiff Pressured Witness To Change His Story And Accuse Trump Of Pressuring Ukraine Democrat House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff reportedly pressed U.S. special representative to Ukraine Kurt Volker in a secret meeting on October 3 to say that President Donald Trump pressured Ukrainian officials to investigate former Vice President and current Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden. “Volker denied that was the case, noting that Ukrainian leaders did not even know the aid was being withheld, and that they believed their relationship with the United States was moving along satisfactorily, without them having done anything Trump mentioned in his notorious July 25 phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky,” The Washington Examiner reported. “When Volker repeatedly declined to agree to Schiff’s characterization of events, Schiff said, ‘Ambassador, you’re making this much more complicated than it has to be.’”
Adam Schiff Bans A Republican From The “Impeachment Hearings” As The Secrecy Continues “Because there’s been no vote, Republicans continue to have no authority to participate and that’s showing here with Schiff’s latest move to ban Gaetz. Schiff shouldn’t even be part of this, as he’s not on the House Judiciary Committee. Instead, he’s being allowed to run point while Gaetz, who is on that committee, is being denied even basic access to what’s going on. In other words, this is a complete sham.”

Trump wrote: There's a lot of talk about Biden's son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it... It sounds horrible to me.

No basis was offered for this reasoning other than alleging that ‘is what the founders intended’ but there is no evidence to support that.

I have no memory of what i said before but i'll just repeat what i read on dodgy Twitter accounts. Everyone else: You people are dumb.

Thanksgiving's just barely over a month away, no way that many GOP'ers feel enough pressure to break ranks. Personally expecting a few, maybe 5 or 6 to break ranks, but there are a lot of very weak people in politics and unless there's a big shift by a large bunch, it won't happen. Only the Senate is in session from 1 November through 8 November. Holiday on 11 November. Thanksgiving recess is 23 November through 2 December. So, really not a lot of calendar work days to get much done here and it seems to me to be very unlikely to be ready to go to trial in November, basically Congress would likely have to finalize the charges by mid-November to get the senate 10 days to have the trial, assuming they don't change their recess schedule. Senate could choose not to break for Xmas, for example, and have the trial then. Ho-ho-ho happy holidays. All this talk about doing this 'fast' might be just a ruse to ratchet up the pressure. I'm expecting the charges by the end of the year and a trial in the new year.
