The nation is now witnessing a massive corruption of the presidency, far worse than Watergate
House lays out its impeachment probe
The House Judiciary Committee laid out the procedures on Monday of what it's calling its ongoing "impeachment investigation" of President Donald Trump. These procedures are expected to follow those the Judiciary Committee used in 1974 during the Nixon impeachment proceedings.
The resolution, should it pass, would make the following four changes to the committee rules governing hearings:
- It would allow the chairman to designate full committee or subcommittee hearings as part of the impeachment probe.
- It would allow staff to question witnesses for an additional hour, equally divided between the majority and minority.
- It would allow for secret grand jury material to be reviewed in closed executive session.
- It would allow for the president’s counsel to respond to information and testimony presented in committee in writing and give the chairman authority to invite the president’s counsel to review and respond in writing to executive session materials.
"President Trump went to great lengths to obstruct Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, including the President’s attempts to remove the Special Counsel and encourage witnesses to lie and to destroy or conceal evidence. Anyone else who did this would face federal criminal prosecution. No one is above the law"
The committee could vote on the resolution as early as Wednesday.
