A day after the House voted to impeach President Trump, the Justice Department used that vote against the House as the administration asks an appeals court to reverse a judge’s decision backing a House subpoena of former White House Counsel Don McGahn.
Or that additional Articles of Impeachment can’t be added before the Senate trial once relevant and necessary witnesses testify and documents are produced.
The White House is running out of closets in which to put Trump’s skeletons. If McGahn testifies, they’re going to make one hell of a pile on the Capitol Steps.
I’m pretty sure that the House can still keep investigating things- impeachment or no impeachment. Geez. These people support limitless power and investigations unless it’s one of THEM being investigated. How convenient.
The contention is nonsense. The Senate trial hasn’t even started. What’s the legal argument here: the House isn’t allowed to consider new evidence after Impeachment has been decided on? What cave did this nonsense germinate in?
“Yer honor, my client has been accused of robbing a bank. The charges have already been filed. There’s no need for the prosecution to depose his best friend who was with him the night before the alleged robbery took place. Clearly, with charges already filed, there’s nothing germane that the prosecutors could discover from his testimony…That’s how trials work, right?”
