Pelosi: House will move to transmit impeachment articles next week | Fox News

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Friday that she will take steps next week to send impeachment articles to the Senate, after delaying the process since last month in a bid to extract favorable terms for a trial.

“I have asked Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler to be prepared to bring to the Floor next week a resolution to appoint managers and transmit articles of impeachment to the Senate. I will be consulting with you at our Tuesday House Democratic Caucus meeting on how we proceed further,” Pelosi, D-Calif., wrote in a letter to colleagues.

PRESSURE MOUNTS ON PELOSI TO TRANSMIT ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT, AS DEMOCRATS LOSE PATIENCE

The decision to release the articles came as fellow Democrats in recent days had started to voice frustration and impatience with the speaker’s approach. They stressed the urgency with which impeachment was treated at the end of 2019 and questioned why the House would then delay a trial by using articles as leverage.

Asked about Pelosi’s decision to move forward on Friday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said: “About time.”

Pelosi nevertheless defended her approach in the memo, stressing important new information on the Ukraine controversy at the heart of impeachment that emerged during the interim.

“I am very proud of the courage and patriotism exhibited by our House Democratic Caucus as we support and defend the Constitution,” she wrote. She continued to press the Senate, as she has for weeks, to conduct a “fair trial” with witnesses and documents.

“In an impeachment trial, every Senator takes an oath to ‘do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws.’ Every Senator now faces a choice: to be loyal to the President or to the Constitution,” she wrote. “No one is above the law, not even the President.”

Pelosi’s demands in recent days included calling on McConnell to reveal the resolution that would set the terms for the trial before she would transmit the articles.

Pelosi and her allies seemingly wanted a commitment to call certain Democrat-sought witnesses, and at least learn more about McConnell’s plans. But McConnell wouldn’t budge, insisting that the Senate first launch the trial, and then resolve issues surrounding witnesses later, declaring that he would not haggle with Pelosi and accusing her Thursday of playing “irresponsible games.”

While Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., had largely backed Pelosi in calling for commitments from McConnell, other Democratic senators began this week to pressure the House to get moving.

MCCONNELL TELLS GOP SENATORS TRIAL COULD START NEXT WEEK

“I think it’s time to turn the articles over,” Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., said Wednesday on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom.” “Let’s see where the Senate can take it.”

Even Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., called out Pelosi for the delay.

“The longer it goes on, the less urgent it becomes,” Feinstein told Politico. “So if it’s serious and urgent, send them over. If it isn’t, don’t send it over.”

Sens. Angus King, D-Maine; Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn.; and Chris Coons, D-Del., also came out this week calling for the process to move along.

“I respect the fact that she is concerned about the fact about whether or not there will be a fair trial,” Coons told Politico this week. “But I do think it is time to get on with it.”

McConnell has repeatedly said the resolution to govern the impeachment trial in the Senate would mirror the one used for then-President Bill Clinton’s impeachment trial in 1999 — setting a timeframe for the trial to begin, with the opportunity for lawmakers to determine how to proceed on potential witness testimony and additional documents later, after both the defense and the prosecution make their opening statements.

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, on Friday, though, voiced hope that Republicans would hold a trial that would feature witnesses should prosecutors, and counsel for the president, request them.

“I have had many discussions with some of my Republican colleagues on how we can adhere as closely as practical to the precedent for conducting the impeachment trial of President Clinton, which included as a third stage the decision on whether to call witnesses,” Collins said Friday. “I am hopeful that we can reach an agreement on how to proceed with the trial that will allow the opportunity for witnesses for both the House managers and the President’s counsel if they choose to do so.”

She added: “It is important that both sides be treated fairly.”

McConnell said earlier this week he has the votes needed to pass the resolution and begin the trial, once he receives the articles. In impeachment, most resolutions can pass with a simple majority — 51 votes. To remove the president from office, though, there must be 67 votes.

After Pelosi’s announcement Friday, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, blasted the speaker for the delay.

“Speaker Pelosi threw the United States Congress into unnecessary chaos with this pointless delay,” Grassley said in a statement. “From the beginning, it’s been unclear what the goal of this hurry-up-and-wait tactic was or what the country stood to gain. We now know the answer was nothing.”

“We’ve had three weeks of uncertainty and confusion, causing even more division,” he added. “Regardless, I will take my role as a juror seriously and review the evidence presented by both sides before making any determination.”

Meanwhile, the next step for Pelosi will be to determine who will serve as House managers to prosecute the case against the president in the Senate trial.

Last month, bipartisan sources told Fox News that several names have been floated to make the case for the president’s removal.

Likely candidates include Nadler, D-N.Y., whose panel drafted the articles of impeachment (abuse of power and obstruction of Congress); House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who led much of the impeachment inquiry out of his committee with dramatic hearings to develop the case against the president; House Democratic Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y.; and Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., a constitutional lawyer.

Other possible candidates include Democrats who were more outspoken during the impeachment hearings, like Rep. David Cicilline, D-R.I., and Eric Swalwell, D-Calif.

Sources told Fox News that other names being floated include Reps. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash.; Val Demings, D-Fla., who served as the first female police chief in Orlando; and Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., who was involved in the impeachment of former President Bill Clinton and was a staffer during the congressional investigation into former President Richard Nixon.

During Clinton’s impeachment in 1999, there were 13 House impeachment managers. A source familiar with the planning told Fox News that Pelosi is expected to appoint fewer than that.

Take Heed, These Are The True Colors of the Democrat Socialist Party – Now’s your chance to #VoteAllDemsOut THIS YEAR!!


REMEMBER THEIR NAMES! These are the traitors who signed the letter addressed to AG Barr and US Attorney Durham below : The letter was signed by Reps. Hank Johnson Jr. (D-GA), Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), William Lacy Clay (D-MO), Jared Huffman (D-CA), and Jan Schakowsky (D-IL).

Editor’s Note:

Please be forewarned. The complete lack of professionalism and the current dereliction of the House’s duties proves the leftist Democrats have completely lost their minds! Especially if they think the American people will not see right through their inability to do what is right! Their denial of due process for all sides along with their refusal to fulfill their duties as Representatives of their constituents, has failed miserably. The Democrats are incapable of doing their jobs and MUST be FIRED!

Guess What? It’s our turn now! This is the year to really drain the swamp and get rid of every single Democrat out of Congress! We need a working Congress, not a bunch of impudent children throwing dirt clods.

For these turncoats to actually accuse AG Barr of siding with President Trump as the left try to destroy the Executive Branch’s power without merit is ludicrous on it’s face! To attempt to sully the two men responsible for bringing down the filthiest, dirtiest, turncoat and traitorous Deep State swamp dwellers, including the Democrat Party from top to bottom reveals all we need to know about AG Barr, US Att. Durham and the now defunct lying cheating Democrat Party!

President Trump’s agenda: of following the rule of law; due process; allowing these traitors to expose themselves daily; and staying the course of Constitutionality, America has picked the right guy for the job. And then he picked the right guys for getting to the bottom of this perverse criminality permeating our entire”supposed” LawAgencies!! That is why the Democrats, leftists and progressives are so damn mad. The gravy train just jerked to a sudden stop and their crimes are being exposed! They know their days are numbered because there is an election this year and there are indictments that will be handed down. 2020 is going to be the year of a total expose of how and why Americans fell asleep at the wheel and why we must never let this happen again. Are you ready to step up?

Thank you to President Trump and all the Republicans who have stood up to these cowards who have lied to our faces so they can continue to take advantage of Americans! This is stopping now!

Prepare your ‘Pitchforks’ America! We are cleaning house in 2020! All hands on deck! The fight is right here, right now! Vote out every Democrat! Tell your neighbors, family and friends regardless if they don’t want to hear it! Your voice may be the ONLY voice they hear that is contrary to the Fake News they’re being inundated with. Tell them to turn off their t.v.’s that are dumbing them down! If they want the truth they’re going to have to do their due diligence to find it but at least you can point them in a direction.

For all the hard leaning leftists, just pass them by, they are incapable of listening because their hearts are too hate filled. Just move on to the moderates, the independents and those waffling! Most people really do want to know what’s truly going on but they will never get the truth on mainstream television! The internet is now the last bastion of free speech! Even in the face of total censorship of conservatives Americans are finding all kinds of ways to get out the truth. The ingenuity of this great country is alive and well and the left is not going to know what hit them when we dig in!

Do not sit idly by, get in the game! Every minute, every action counts! Together we will be VICTORIOUS! America First Forever! If we can’t help ourselves how the hell are we going to help others? We continue to be the one and only country who has defended all other countries with money and might! If we allow the Democrat Socialist Leftist’s to have their way, we will become a country with no vision and no clear path to Godliness.

There are still too many of us that will never stand down, and we can take the enemy within -out- simply by due process AND standing our ground until our last breath! It’s called civic duty and that’s how this Revolution will begin and end! Don’t let the legacy of the greatest country the world has ever known die in the darkness and chaos! Shine your light! Shout from the highest roof top ‘nobody is taking my country without a fight!’

Clear the air, shed your fears and step out into America, your country, your liberties and the hope for all people that one day humans will rise above their sins and egos to simply do the right thing because it is the right thing to do. How much do you love this country? What are you willing to do to honor and leave the legacy we were gifted, “in tact”, for generations to come? Let’s show them, shall we?

Multiple Members of Congress Send a Letter to AG Barr Demanding His Resignation

Multiple members of Congress on Friday sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr demanding that he and and United States Attorney John Durham resign. The six members of Congress claim the two men “inappropriately interfered in independent Department of Justice (DOJ) investigations and intentionally used your positions to mislead the American public in defense of President Donald J. Trump.”

Their argument focuses solely on the fact that Barr “handpicked” Durham to investigate the origins of the Russia probe. The goal of Durham’s investigation is to determine whether or not the probe was “lawful and appropriate.”

According to these members, Barr’s previous claims that the Trump campaign was spied upon is an “unfounded assertion” and was “inappropriate” because Inspector General Michael Horowitz was also completing his investigation.

“In the report released on on Monday December 9, the OIG concluded that the Justice Department acted within its jurisdiction initiating an investigation and that there was sufficient factual evidence to investigate the Trump campaign,” the leader said. 

The group said Barr pushed “conspiracy theories” during an interview that took place on Tuesday, December 10 by suggesting that “the FBI under the Obama administration was a greater threat to our democracy than Russia.”

“Your uncorroborated and inappropriate statements on the OIG report legitimize fringe conspiracy theories and erode public trust in the in the Justice Department’s credibility,” the letter stated.

The members of Congress also stated Barr “manipulate[d] facts to benefit President Trump” before Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report into the Russia investigation. 

They claimed Durham’s investigation into the FBI’s work is nothing but a “sham” and took issue with how he “spoke openly about the investigation as it was ongoing.”

“Mr. Barr, your course of conduct makes clear your allegiances is to Donald Trump over the Department of Justice and the American people that you serve,” the letter said. “You are unfit to hold the position of Attorney General and your dedication to eroding public trust in our legal systems represents the antithesis of what a Justice Department official should be. Mr. Durham is equally as complicit in this mission and together your actions demonstrate that neither of you possess the integrity necessary to serve in the Department of Justice.”

“For those reasons, we demand your immediate resignation as Attorney General and that of U.S. attorney Durham,” the letter concluded.

The letter was signed by Reps. Hank Johnson Jr. (D-GA), Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), William Lacy Clay (D-MO), Jared Huffman (D-CA), and Jan Schakowsky (D-IL).

DOJ: House Democrats’ Subpoenas ‘Legally Invalid’ If Witnesses Can’t Have Attorneys With Them

Comments November 5, 2019 Updated: November 5, 2019

The Department of Justice considers subpoenas issued by House Democrats as part of the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump “legally invalid” if Congress won’t let witnesses be accompanied by White House attorneys.

Democrats, led by House Intelligence Committee Chairman (HPSCI) Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), have continued closed-door hearings even after the passage of an impeachment resolution that enables open hearings.

“You have asked whether HPSCI or the other committees involved in the impeachment inquiry may validly compel executive branch witnesses to appear at such depositions,” the department wrote in a letter to White House counsel Pat Cipollone. “The HPSCI impeachment inquiry seeks information concerning presidential communications, internal executive branch deliberations, and diplomatic communications arising in connection with U.S. foreign relations with Ukraine.

“As a result, the depositions seek testimony from executive branch employees concerning matters potentially protected by executive privilege. Consistent with our prior advice, we conclude that the congressional committees participating in the impeachment investigation authorized by the resolution may not validly require executive branch witnesses to appear without the assistance of agency counsel in connection with such depositions.”

House Democrats “could address this separation of powers problem by allowing agency counsel to assist the employee during the deposition. Should the committee not do so, however, a subpoena purporting to require a witness to appear without such assistance would be invalid and not subject to civil or criminal enforcement,” Steven Engel, assistant attorney general with the DOJ’s Office of Legal Counsel, stated in the letter.

Lawyers for the administration should be allowed to accompany witnesses to help prevent privileged information or information that falls outside the scope of Congress’ investigative authority, the office said. Witnesses have been able to appear with personal attorneys.

Subpoenas can’t be enforced if Congress doesn’t permit an agency representative to accompany a witness, the office asserted.

“Congressional committees participating in an impeachment inquiry may not validly compel executive branch witnesses to testify about matters that potentially involve information protected by executive privilege without the assistance of agency counsel. Congressional subpoenas that purport to require executive branch witnesses to appear without agency counsel in these circumstances are legally invalid and are not subject to civil or criminal enforcement,” Engel concluded.

Any subpoenas issued before the House’s vote to advance the inquiry must be reissued to be enforceable if an agency attorney is allowed to accompany the witness, Engel also said.

Six White House officials have declined to appear to give testimony this week, and others are expected to defy requests or subpoenas from the House later this week.

In addition, former Trump aide Charles Kupperman didn’t appear last month after asking a federal judge to say whether he should follow White House guidance and not testify due to executive privilege or whether he should appear and testify to Congress.

A court date was set for Dec. 10.

Cipollone wrote to House Democrats in early October, saying the impeachment inquiry violated constitutionally mandated due process and announcing that administration officials, whether current or former, were being told not to comply with testimony requests. House Democrats have threatened to hold some witnesses in contempt, and said that they would take failure to appear as evidence of obstruction.
