Probably within weeks.
Rep. Speier said on MSNBC, I think we have probably another five or six witnesses. And then I think we would be in a position where we should turn over our testimonies that weve received, all of the transcripts to the judiciary committee, for the impeachment process to begin.

Impeachment hearings will grab the nations attention...Trump and the Republicans have no defense for the illegal shadow foreign policy Ukraine shakedown that the president and his TV lawyer were trying to run. The country has never seen a presidential abuse of power that cuts through multiple cabinet-level agencies. - PoliticusUSA
I hope Ted Lieu breaks out these images for the TV cameras.

(14,175 posts)Don't trust him much. He loves to throw out red meat and then pretend it isn't there. Like "As soon as we win the House I will be starting impeachment proceedings on Kavanaugh!". Or his backing down on conditions for Hope Hicks testimony which predictably resulted in being played for an embarrassing nothing burger from her. All I see from him are great quotes and a furrowed brow, but thats as far as it goes. At least from Schiff, he may not be blustery and loud, but hes slow and methodical and effective.

(11,301 posts)I know the prosecutor tore him up at the end but he got away with too much disrespect before that. I would have liked to see how Schiff handled it. I'm sure there'll be another asshole like Lewandowski and we'll probably will see how he reacts.

(7,416 posts)I heard a DC insider say that Pelosi had lost faith in Nadler having seen the way his hearings went. Perhaps that means he didn't have the command over them the way Schiff does.
Anyway, I love Schiff and the way he conducts his hearings is the best.

This is not, as they are telling us, a partisan action. A majority of Americans realize that this is about the country, the Constitutions and the World at large.
Make it so!

(14,175 posts)So that if some "Dan Rather" type of mistake is made, throwing out a main avenue of attack, in the Ukraine scandal, that they at least have left the door open to include other crimes and misdemeanours. The last thing I want to hear from Nancy is that they are committed to narrow the impeachment to the Ukraine dealings only, and then be boxed into a corner herself about walking it back.

(14,175 posts)Just their looks alone scares me. I can only imagine in their earlier days in the Russian mafia when they were attempting to get "made", and how many poor folks they personally put in the hospital...or worse.
