'The evidence is overwhelming': Combative hearing moves House closer to impeachment

Democrat Adam Schiff’s committee formally presented its findings to the House Judiciary Committee on Monday, bringing the House one step closer to a formal vote to impeach President Trump.

“The evidence is overwhelming that the president abused his power by pressuring Ukraine and its new president to investigate a political opponent,” said Barry Berke, staff attorney for the Judiciary Committee.

“A president cannot abuse his power to secure an election,” Berke said. “That is an impeachable offense.”

It was a fact- and lawyer-heavy hearing, focused on laying the groundwork for one final hearing in this committee — likely this week — during which the panel will debate and vote on specific articles of impeachment against the president, sending those charges to the full House for a vote by all 435 members of the lower chamber.

The House has only 10 legislative days left if it wants to hold an impeachment vote before the end of the year, though a day or two could be added the weekend before Christmas.

Maybe it's panic, maybe it's because they've learned from Trump that they can get away with the most outrageous behavior because everyone else simply LETS THEM... so like toddlers, they keep pushing the limit, and like impotent parents, too many have LET THEM walk right past the limit. It's driving me crazy.
