In unexpected move, @DevinNunes invokes obscure House rule that will allow Republicans a hearing in which they can call witnesses. Schiff must have overlooked it when formulating his show rules. Well done Congressman.​

Oh, goody! Call Rudy!

But he’s such a good fella. What could go wrong?

For Biden ... everything.

 

[cow451]

For Biden ... everything.

Too bad Biden isn’t getting impeached. And I care nothing about what happens to him politically. If it keeps him from getting the nod, fine. Let Trump stay focused on Biden.

What did Eric Trump say, "I love it." Well, I love it, let the real circus begin. Rudy will have to explain all the things he said in interviews and all the documents and cell phone texts and conversations that he's been rattling on about. All things he can't claim are attorney, client privilege, which is a lot.
He may have to plead the 5th on some things.

Schiff didn't formulate those rules, you know.

Nunes is the same prevaricator who said on national television that no minority witnesses were called, even though several were. He seemed to think that because he didn't get to personally issue subpoenas, that his witnesses somehow became the Democrats'.

Good Day, Cow

Trump can just let the Senate Judiciary Committee to focus on the Bidens:

What are the chances he will plead the fifth on everything?

I don't know, but if you plead the 5th erroneously that is perjury.

 

[GodLovesCats]

I have never heard of erroneous pleas. Does that mean the witness pled the Fifth, then changed his mind and said something later?

Only guilty people plead the fifth

The President should focus every Tweeting moment and every really rich dollar to all things Biden.

My old man pleaded for a fifth many a time. But I digress....

 

[The_Barmecide]

Nunes et al are planning on calling in Hunter Biden

I'm also betting it will be a free-for-all in attempts to find witnesses they can call in to help them out the whistleblower.

....but that will take time away from the on-going investigations against Hillary! It's not like she's going to lock herself up!

 

[cow451]

....Hillary! It's not like she's going to lock herself up!

Well, considering how she campaigned in 2016, I would not rule it out.

Only guilty people plead the Fifth.

How do you know this? I would make this assumption about Rudy Giuliani and Mike Pompeo, but the Fifth Amendment can also be used by defense lawyers.

Trump said only guilty people plead the Fifth. I don’t think the Republicans will ever go against anything he says so we know they will agree with this assessment.
