Impeachment watch: Democrats vow to not 'take any sh*t' from GOP at hearing

House Democrats are preparing for Republicans on the Judiciary Committee to act like clowns.

The next phase of impeachment begins Wednesday, when the House Judiciary Committee will hold its first public hearing to determine what articles of impeachment, if any, Donald Trump will face.

And Democrats on the committee are preparing for Republicans to behave like clowns, Politico reported, with Judiciary Committee Chair Jerry Nadler telling the Democratic caucus that he is "not going to take any shit" from the GOP lawmakers at the hearing.

The House Judiciary Committee is far larger than the House Intelligence Committee, where the hearings had been taking place.

And a number of the GOP lawmakers on the Judiciary Committee are some of the biggest Trump defenders on Capitol Hill who are known to pull childish stunts.

Well the second order of business will be to ask Devin Nunes to remove himself from the chamber and then call him him as a witness...............................what a enabling scumbag..................

the appearance of impotence as the White House ignores his subpoenas and generally pisses in his direction. Nadler's the chair of the Judiciary Committee, and when he's in charge of the hearings, he'll take his moment to assert his authority, and it won't be pretty for the Trumpy Clowns.

Nunes will be forced to leave his seat on the Judiciary as he has a conflict of interest, may be a fact witness, and may also be a co-conspirator with Trumpy. Nadler will likely display toughness and won't take disturbances lightly.

Hopefully he can use some of Schiff's tactics along with his normal brushing them aside and that will help to neutralize the truly looney crew that are sitting on the GOP side.
