With Mulvaney's comments today, so far the White House/Trump has said:
1) We don't know why the strategic aid was held up.
2) The strategic aid was held up because we wanted Europe to contribute more first.
3) The strategic aid was held up because we wanted Ukraine to root out more corruption first.
4) The strategic aid was held up but not to compel Ukraine to do anything first.
5) The strategic aid was held up to get Ukraine to investigate Democrats and the DNC server in 2016.
Am I missing any?
Well 3 and 5 are the same thing and 1 and 4 were talking specifically as it related to the phone call. 2 wasn't talking about aid being withheld, it was comments made in the phone call that continues to be lied about despite the contents of the call being public record.
Keep wishing on that star. Politics has never been like that in my lifetime. I don't expect it to change any time soon. His opening statement, and any of his testimony that gets leaked is news. Period.
Sorry, that's not how Congressional Committee investigations work. This isn't new. We can talk about how things "should be" all day long.
Who says she's acting with "power not conveyed to her"? Everything currently happening is within the Constitution and the rules of the House of Reps. That you or I might not like it is irrelevant. The Constitution is silent on impeachment inquiries - thus the majority part in the House can conduct it in any manner they wish.
No, you want it to be different. It's not actually different.
Sorry, it isn't " news". It is part of a political action , part of propaganda and selective " reporting" by the media to fit their agenda. Leaks are cowardly displays of weakness and fear of the truth.
What " should be" is what is best for the people. When you lose sight of that objective the lines of discretion become blurred.
Nancy Pelosi is not the " House of Representatives ? Why? Simple. Because you do not have to be a member of the House to be a Speaker. That's in the Constitution. You can be a Dog Catcher or a Manager of an Ice Cream shop. She does not have the power of the House of Reprenattives, she only " speaks " FOR them.
We don't know what the " majority " of the House on this issue is without a vote.

My guess is, the majority approves of the proceedings, or they would have filed a motion to stop them.

However, she has a Constitutionally-mandated right to hold this inquiry without taking a formal vote.
I didn't say it was, I merely pointed out that it was rapist logic.... which it is.
If you are fine using the logic of a rapist then have at it.
I'm not the one who posted the rapist logic. Where do you even get this stuff?
