Republicans fume over Dem threat of new impeachment articles: ‘Time to cut them off’
(Worthy News) – Republicans ratcheted up their accusations that Democrats are overplaying their impeachment hand after court filings from the House Judiciary Committee indicated the two articles of impeachment adopted last week may only be the beginning.
GOP lawmakers already were fuming at Speaker Nancy Pelosi over her surprise decision to delay transmitting the articles to the Senate in a bid to extract favorable terms for President Trump’s trial. But in the latest twist, the Democrat-led Judiciary panel referenced the possibility of yet additional impeachment articles in briefs filed Monday related to their quest for testimony from former White House Counsel Don McGahn and secret grand jury material from former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.
If the court allows them to obtain the information they seek, their attorney wrote, “new articles of impeachment” could be considered based on the evidence. GOP lawmakers reacted with stunned disbelief. [ Source: Fox News (Read More…) ]
