Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostThen why have Democrats completely ignored the Mueller witch hunt and instead voted to impeach Trump over an invented crime connected to an innocuous phone call with a foreign leader? On the one hand, liberals are trying to convince us that Pelosi et al are brilliant political tacticians, but on the other hand, they're apparently complete morons for ignoring what people like you insist is an open-and-shut case for removing Trump from office.
House counsel informed the appellate court two days ago in McGahn oral arguments that the House and Speaker Pelosi were still actively considering articles of impeachment for the Mueller Report and it was therefore important to expedite the McGahn ruling.
And doing so set precedent for Mulvaney, Duffey, Blair and everyone else. It's the House's quickest way to "go through the courts" as y'all have been complaining they should be doing for months.

For Ukraine, the House was able to obtain documents and hear witnesses because a number of Trump administration officials -- defying the administration's attempt to block their testimony and document production -- honored lawful subpoenas. A factual case, with underlying testimony and documents, could advance.
For Mueller, Trump has successfully blocked both witness testimony and document production. With McGhan's GJ deposition and the documents from Trump that he reportedly locked away in a safe, it's likely that a House investigation would advance toward impeachment quickly.
You're incapable of that logical throughline but it's there, nonetheless.

Yeah, I know you'll bring up McGahn, but tell me Sam, just when did the Democrats file anything asking for the case to be expedited? Again, they are in no hurry which again illustrates that they don't think that there is a rush.

The real goal is not impeachment but getting access to opposition research that they can use against Trump during the 2020 campaign. In fact, some analysts believe that Democrats already have access to the grand jury material supplied to them by leakers within the Department of Justice, and they're just looking for legal cover to make use of it. They further believe that if the courts rule against them, those same leakers will take it to their allies in the liberal media, so either way, it's likely the information is going to get out.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostFor some strange reason you always leave out how the House quickly dropped their subpoenas on those like Kupperman when they asked for guidance from the courts. The reason stated is because it was just too important to wait -- which of course has been shown to be nothing but a lie by Pelosi's indefinite stalling tactics in refusing to send the articles of impeachment to the Senate.
Yeah, I know you'll bring up McGahn, but tell me Sam, just when did the Democrats file anything asking for the case to be expedited? Again, they are in no hurry which again illustrates that they don't think that there is a rush.
House Democrats dropped the Kupperman subpoena because Kupperman sued and the presiding judge denied a motion to move the case into McGhan's. That created the potential for cross-rulings and House Democrats, confident that they would be getting a good ruling with Judge Jackson in the McGhan case, reportedly did not want even the small risk of conflicting district court rulings when McGhan's case went to appellate court.
And, as I've said before, House counsel has requested McGhan's case be expedited in August and again in November, at least.
This is yet another example of "If they're serious, why aren't Democrats doing [Thing Democrats are currently doing]?"

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostMeanwhile, in the real world Schiff and his gang wanted the subpoenas dropped after Kupperman appealed to the courts (despite having repeatedly declared that his testimony was crucial and threatening him if he didn't testify) because he realized that the subpoenas themselves had serious problems. In his arrogance, Schiff rushed them through without following the proper procedures and this meant that they could end up being dismissed. If that happened then he couldn't claim that Trump was "obstructing" by evoking his legal right to Executive Privilege since the subpoenas had been voided.
You're spouting stuff that, ironically, is contradicted by the real world.

And Jackson's ruling wouldn't address this unless it was brought up.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostWait. Do you mean that the House legal counsel didn't say that they were dropping the subpoena because the committee chairman who issued them (Schiff) basically mucked them up? Wow. Who would ever guess?
And Jackson's ruling wouldn't address this unless it was brought up.
Just yanking those goalposts every which way now.

And Jackson's ruling shows not just the lawfulness of the Kupperman subpoena but Congress' legitimate authority to call executive branch officials for testimony. As Jackson ruled, those officials don't have to waive valid executive privilege claims in testimony but they most definitely have to show up.
Nothing got "Mucked up" and you've simply repeated an assertion you cannot legally support.
