A formal vote to initiate an \u201cimpeachment inquiry\u201d is not technically required; however, there has always been a full house vote until now.\u00a0 The reason not to have a House vote is simple: if the\u00a0formal process<\/em>\u00a0was followed the minority (republicans) would have enforceable rights within it.\u00a0 Without a vote\u00a0to initiate<\/em>, the articles of impeachment can be drawn up without any participation by the minority; and without any input from the executive.\u00a0 This was always the plan that was visible in Pelosi\u2019s changed House rules.<\/p>\n Keep in mind Speaker Pelosi selected former insider DOJ official\u00a0Douglas Letter<\/strong>\u00a0to be the Chief Legal Counsel<\/a>\u00a0for the House.\u00a0 That becomes important when we get to the part about the official full house impeachment vote. The\u00a0Lawfare group<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0DNC far-left activists were ecstatic<\/a>\u00a0at the selection.\u00a0 Doug Letter was a deep political operative within the institution of the DOJ who\u00a0worked diligently<\/a>\u00a0to promote the weaponized political values of former democrat administrations.<\/p>\n Speaker Pelosi\u00a0has authorized<\/a>\u00a0the House committees to work together under the umbrella of an \u201cofficial impeachment inquiry.\u201d\u00a0 The House Intelligence (Schiff) and Judiciary Committees (Nadler) are currently working together leading this process.<\/p>\n From recent events we can see the framework of Schiff compiling Trump-Ukraine articles and Nadler compiling Trump-Russia articles.\u00a0 Trump-Ukraine via Schiff will likely focus on a\u00a0corruption<\/em>\u00a0angle; Trump-Russia via Nadler will likely focus on an\u00a0obstruction<\/em>\u00a0angle.<\/p>\n How many articles of impeachment are finally assembled is unknown, but it is possible to see the background construct as described above.\u00a0 Unlike historic examples of committee impeachment assembly, and in combination with the lack of an initiation vote, Pelosi\u2019s\u00a0earlier House Rule changes<\/a>\u00a0now appear intentionally designed to block republicans during the article assembly process.\u00a0 The minority will have no voice.\u00a0 This is quite a design.<\/p>\n Once the articles are drawn up, Schiff and Nadler will vote to approve them out of committee.\u00a0 Democrats control the majority so the articles will easily pass out of committee.\u00a0 Then the articles must come before a full house vote.\u00a0 The current two-week recess is the period where Pelosi has instructed her team to return to their districts and sell the reasoning and purpose for the upcoming vote.\u00a0 Speaker Pelosi will hold that vote.<\/p>\n It is more than likely the vote will pass through the House on party lines.\u00a0 Once Pelosi achieves a vote of passage on any single article President Trump is considered impeached.<\/p>\n Back to this two-week break.\u00a0 While the technical reason for the recess is to celebrate the Jewish holidays of Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah, it is now obvious the sequence of events has been constructed specifically toward these impeachment efforts.<\/p>\n There are 31 House districts currently held by Democrats which President Trump won in 2016; Pelosi is giving those members an opportunity to make their impeachment case to their constituents now, but failure to support the effort is likely not optional for all except a few of the most tenuously vulnerable.\u00a0 House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and Majority Whip James Clyburn will assemble enough votes for impeachment.<\/p>\n While those house members are explaining to their constituents, back in DC the committee work on the articles will collate.\u00a0 On Friday afternoon, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings, and Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel, issued a subpoena demanding a slew of Ukraine-related documents from Secretary of State Mike Pompeo by Oct. 4th. The committees also scheduled depositions with five State Department officials between Oct. 2 and Oct. 10.<\/p>\n Notice that\u00a0with the rule changes<\/a>\u00a0the minority will not be participating in these depositions.\u00a0 The republicans will likely have no idea what is happening therein.<\/p>\n As Chad Pergram notes:<\/p>\n \u201cThe subpoenas are part of a two-pronged strategy by Democrats. Get the information to help tailor the articles of impeachment, or convert a refusal to comply into an impeachment article itself.\u201d (more<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Chairman Nadler (Judiciary) almost certainly already has his\u00a0Obstruction<\/em>\u00a0articles assembled using prior testimony, depositions and relying heavily on the Mueller report.<\/p>\n However, Chairmen Schiff, Cummings and Engel will be more urgently assembling the\u00a0Corruption<\/em>\u00a0articles based on the purposefully constructed Trump-Ukraine whistleblower leak and subsequent document production.\u00a0 Hence, the depositions during the break.<\/p>\n The Democrats are going to act fast.\u00a0 Remember, by design Speaker Pelosi has this set up so that Republicans don\u2019t even participate in the impeachment process.\u00a0 There are no republicans participating in the assembly of the articles of impeachment.\u00a0 Stunningly, and as an outcome of those\u00a0earlier rule changes<\/a>, there is no minority voice in this process.<\/p>\n When the 116th congress returns from their break on October 15th, 2019, the Articles of Impeachment will have already been assembled: [House Calendar Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n Speaker Pelosi has to give the media some reference point to say the republicans were included in the process, so she will likely have mid to late October destined for the committee chairs to have\u00a0committee debate<\/em>\u00a0on their pre-assembled articles.\u00a0 This will give the impression of minority participation, but it will be for optics only.<\/p>\n Democrats are keen optical strategists and narrative engineers; and as you know they coordinate all endeavors with their media allies.\u00a0 The narrative assembly and usefulness by media to drive a tactical national political message will hit heavily in this mid\/late October time-frame.\u00a0 This will allow the executive suites (media) to capture\/stir-up maximum public interest and make the most money therein.<\/p>\n There will likely be more articles other than just \u201cobstruction of justice<\/em>\u201d (Muh Rusia) and \u201ccorruption of office<\/em>\u201d (Muh Ukraine), but those two are easily visible.\u00a0 Emoluments may also play a role.<\/p>\n The articles of impeachment will then be voted out of each committee; and after a significant dramatic pause for maximum political value, Speaker Pelosi will present days of House debate on them.<\/p>\n The media will construct television sets to broadcast the house impeachment debates, and the Democrat candidates will use this time to spotlight their angelic policies and anti-corruption agenda.\u00a0\u00a0 Big Dollar Democrats will bring in their activist groups from around the nation to celebrate the impeachment of President Trump.<\/p>\n Then, once Pelosi is certain the maximum political benefit has been achieved, she will announce the date for the Full House Vote on Articles of Impeachment.\u00a0 We can be certain the date will be filled with maximum drama and\u00a0made-for-tv<\/em>\u00a0effect complete with Speaker Pelosi bringing back the big gavel for a grand presentation and a full house vote.<\/p>\n [Chad Pergram<\/a>] As always, it\u2019s about math. The current House breakdown is 235 Democrats, 199 Republicans, and one independent: Rep. Justin Amash, I-Mich. To pass anything in the House, 218 yeas are needed.<\/p>\n That means Democrats can only lose 17 votes from their side and still have enough to pass an article of impeachment. Amash has endorsed impeachment, so let\u2019s say the magic number is actually 16. If the president is to be impeached, that means Democrats could have 15 of their own voting for articles of impeachment while representing a district which Trump carried in 2016.<\/p>\n A House floor vote to impeach the President is kind of like an indictment, codified in Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution. If the House votes to impeach, Article 1, Section 3 of the Constitution sends the article(s) to the Senate for a trial presided over by Chief Justice of the United States John Roberts. (Note Roberts\u2019 proper title. This is one of the reasons the Chief Justice is \u201cof the United States,\u201d and not just the \u201cSupreme Court.\u201d)\u00a0 (more from Chad Pergram<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The same people who will stand jaw-agape as this House Impeachment process is happening are the same people who denied it was likely when CTH originally showed the rule changes, road-map, and impeachment schedule\u00a0in January<\/a>.<\/p>\n Now\u2026. having said all that, perhaps\u2026 just perhaps\u2026.
