Trump Faces Deadline As Judiciary Panel Schedules Impeachment Hearing

So the public hearing on Impeachment is being held Wednesday, Dec 4th. Nadler has decided to invite President Trump and has given him until Dec 1st to decide whether he plans to participate and announce who will represent him.

"I have also written to President Trump to remind him that the committee's impeachment inquiry rules allow for the President to attend the hearing and for his counsel to question the witness panel," Nadler said in the letter.

Continued the chairman: "At base, the president has a choice to make: he can take this opportunity to be represented in the impeachment hearings, or he can stop complaining about the process. I hope that he chooses to participate in the inquiry, directly or through counsel, as other presidents have done before him."

Funny statement considering they want him to stop complaining about the process when he wasn't allowed to be represented, call witnesses, or cross-examine witnesses the entire process.

My opinion is Trump should make a public announcement that he will not acknowledge the sham process the Democrats put together and will wait to see if it goes to the Senate where he will actually get a fair trial.

This might be a good chance to ask Pencil Neck a few questions. Perhaps just with his council present, I'm sure Trump has a few things on his plate.

I don't see anything positive coming from Trump or his counsel attending the hearing with the current state of the MSM and unethical Democrats involved.

"Faces a deadline" to this kangaroo court? Tell them to go pound sand.

Umm.... yea...

Trump should make a public statement that Nadless can pound sand and we'll see what happens when it goes to the Senate.

If I were Trump I'd go.

I'd bring a big bucket of popcorn, a 32 oz soda, some Twizzlers, Goobers, Raisinettes, and 3D glasses. I would snicker, cheer, boo, and belly-laugh whenever I felt like it. Whenever they called a witness, I would yell, "Bring on the whistleblower!"

When it was over I would I'd give a panning review citing the poor character development, the lack of a plausible plot, the lackluster performance of the cast, and the abysmal 3D effects.

And when they complain, he can say, "It was either this or Tweet, and we know no one's watching this but everyone reads my Tweets."

Since it is actually happening, perhaps "sham" is the wrong word?

Or, perhaps it has no meaning and actually the sham President of the sham United States will face a sham public sham meeting on sham impeachment on sham Wednesday, Dec 4th 2019.

Merry Shamsmas to all!

It's like the trial. That was a real proceeding too, but a complete sham of justice.

Hey, maybe we should start calling ourselves Shamans

LOL...cute. You actually think he will get impeached.

Trump should definitely send his counsel.

No doubt about it. Embarrass this sht-show up front by reading Pelosi’s memo to her caucus.

Then, if anyone wants to go forward, walk out and see ‘em in the Senate.

I heard on the news on my way home that Trump has a NATO meeting. Now don't you think the Dems already no that.

It's a trap. Trump should ignore it and I'd imagine his lawyers have told him just that. He should keep doing the peoples business while the House wastes it's time. Only if it hits the Senate does it mean anything. There are already articles saying that they may move to censure instead, since removing the President is not possible.

The polls are moving the needle towards censure since it's helping Trump right now and hurting the Democratic candidates. We Independents are not buying into it and it's showing in the polls.

Hmmm ... the aggregate at fivethrityeight.com isn’t showing that trend.

Support for impeachment is growing according to that metric.

Do Americans favor Impeaching President Trump?

Censure would be the smartest move the Dems have, which virtually assures that’s not what will happen.

a reply to: Middleoftheroad

Most pro-Trump experts are also suggesting the same. He should continue to denounce the process and a sham, and stay away. Let the Democrats finish destroying themselves in the court of public opinion.

Ha! This is something i tell people often. The news cycle has become so idiotic i dont usually bother to comment any longer, but that post pretty much sums up what i would say.

Just out of curiosity, what court of public opinion is that?

What metrics are you considering that show that impeachment is diminishing rather than increasing in popular opinion?
