1. Wow

Worried here! Would like to see this play out longer.

11. Same. It's starting to feel rushed.

[NCLefty]

14. It's been over 3 years. We don't have any more time.

[Kentonio]

15. I know time is short, but we also know the rethugs won't convict anyway

So why not take an extra month to open up this new Lev Parnas stuff publicly and make the pukes inevitable betrayal of the country even more obvious to voters?

2. Public hearings are only over for the Intelligence Committee. The Justice Committee is up now.

[Roland99]

4. But isn't their job to craft the articles now?

Investigations, it would seem, have come to a close

9. Per NY Times

The Judiciary Committee is expected in the coming days to announce public impeachment hearings to take place next week to hear the evidence on Ukraine and to begin to draft and debate impeachment articles, which are roughly analogous to charges in a courtroom trial. They could also convene sessions with expert witnesses to define impeachable offenses and offer Mr. Trump and his legal team a chance to present a defense or exculpatory evidence.

12. Pelosi is a genius. Instead of forcing all the committees to operate at once,

She can spread this out over the course of the rest of the year, and then file ALL of the impeachments articles basically AT ONCE...pushing the Senate Trial into the election year Republican Primary season.

3. Seems odd when so many other stories are blowing up

right now. Parnas, Nunes, Giuliani, etc.

[donkeypoofed]

5. No Bolton then? What did the Judge rule today?

Guess Bolton won't be able to peddle his book. Oh well.

6. Can't they re-open public hearings ?

8. Fine tuning at this point?

[dewsgirl]

10. What about the Mueller stuff they were going to focus on

after Thanksgiving?

[Volaris]

13. That will be Judicary (or Oversight)

Be patient, young Padawan lol.

[dewsgirl]

16. LOL..I had more time to absorb the Mueller era, I have read

so many books/articles about Trump Russia, and I do realize the Ukraine scandal is actually a part of it. I understand it much better.
