I think the impeachment vote should be dragged out until after the holidays.

Hang it over his head. Continue to press for witness testimony and documents. Take it into 2020. He is bound to do more impeachable things as time goes by. Rushing it plays into McConnell's hands. Now that the impeachment vehicle is moving I see no reason to floor it.

You are free to disagree.

1. What time is the judge going to rule on the subpoena today?

[rzemanfl]

2. I didn't know that was coming today. n/t

[California_Republic]

3. Agreed Seems like there's more things to come soon

[bluestarone]

4. AGREE here

What's the hurry? Use EVERY witness that becomes available to us! If THEY (RETHUGS want fast?) I want SLOW! Could make an interesting year! I have enjoyed the hearing!

5. my thinking as well

continue with the deliberate and methodical approach that Schiff and Pelosi have so masterfully planned and are executing - like a boa constrictor slowly squeezing.

Rushing through the holidays will also cause this this 'get lost' in the holiday chatter, feel good stories, etc. This priority needs to remain front and center.

6. He is digging himself in deeper right now. Something just hit my

news feed about accusing witness of lying.

On edit, he went after the Holmes overhearing the conversation testimony, saying, "I guarantee you that never took place." Bullshit.

7. Agree. There are still

officials that need to be heard from:
Bolton
Pomp
Guliani
Trump

Subpoena these folks and go to court to enforce. Keep a constant drumbeat of obstruction and the administration hiding illegal conduct.

Democrats lose no votes by completing this investigation. There will be Republicans who stay home in 2020.

[rzemanfl]

8. Welcome to DU. n/t

[Joe941]

9. Yup the longer the better.

[ariadne0614]

10. Absolutely agree. Serialize it.

The dark side can be counted on to use the short American attention span against us.

[Mad Lib]

11. Don't rush it

I think that since it's clear that the republicans have no intention of holding the impeachment trial fairly and in good faith the Democrats in the House should just keep plugging away until every witness and every piece of evidence has been presented to the American people so the utter perfidy of the republicans can be fully and graphically exposed. If they want it expedited we should take our sweet time.

[cbdo2007]

12. I doubt we'll see a vote in the House until Feb 2020.

[dalton99a]

13. Make it thorough and comprehensive. Don't let him control the process.

[gratuitous]

14. Heck articles of impeachment haven't even been drafted yet

Which is to say, the House hasn't even decided what charges, if any, are to be brought and against whom. As much as the House Republicans, their co-stooges in the Senate, and the impatient manchild to whom they're all in thrall would like to get this inquiry at issue, we're still several time-consuming procedural steps away from a vote on articles of impeachment.

You'd think the constitutional scholars on the Republican side of the aisle would know that and be advising their colleagues to cool their jets.

[rzemanfl]

15. There are no Republican constitutional scholars. n/t

[scarytomcat]

16. they should continue until the election and after if he wins

keep the pressure on,
no need for a vote if Senate will just toss it
Mueller and emoluments alone will take weeks to get through
this guy is unfit for office it needs to put out there as many times as possible
death from a thousand cuts
