    Let’s block the retirement benefits of the IRS employees that shut down only conservative groups over the last 10 years.

    Could you get anymore sophomoric with your responses. Your inference that they are being silenced is one of your most egregious BS posts.

    You still didn't answer my questions so you deflect. I haven't heard a single Republican or Democrat on the committee comment. It's a valid question. The only one is Schiff for Brains.

    Because all you have are unfounded conspiracies and you use petty insults to attack others, sophomoric, and shameless.

    Why does the House get paid? When was the last time those lazy dirtbags passed any legislation? They are supposed to be legislators, but I can't think of a single thing they have accomplished on that note. That any of them have the gall to say someone else shouldn't get a check, well that's just f'ed up...

    the house controls the purse strings.... personally I think anyone not appearing should be held in contempt and put in a cell until they appear

    You do know that's been debunked all year, correct.... Grim Reaper, remember??

    And why bother? Trump will veto anything that McConnell lets slip through for an actual vote...

    McConnell and Trump have jointly shut down Washington DC... as fully expected would happen.

    This thread is dead, since Sondland did testify.... once for practice, then a second time after he realized he ****ed up the first time...

    This guy is the dealbreaker here.... and he likely knows it... He can put Aid for Bidens coming out of Trumps mouth...

    But will he?

    yep, the House has all they need to impeach, now it's just to educate the public and get any addl info they can, be nice to get the addl people under oath, but if Trump wants to continue to obstruct, that is fine, they have enough already

    we can let the Senate try to get them under oath.....

    Nearly 400 House bills stuck in Senate limbo
    By Jordain Carney - 05/27/16 01:58 PM EDT

    The Washington Post broke down the number of House bills that have been stuck in the Senate for every Congress since 1975.

    Eleven of the 19 sessions between the 94th Congress and the 113th Congress had more than 300 House bills awaiting action by the end of the session, according to the Post and GovTrack.

    Well, yeah, but you're missing my point... Impeachment in the house is a lock, but if you can get Sondland to put the phrase "Aid for Investigations/Bidens" coming directly from Trump, I cannot rule some R Senators coming along. Probably not enough to impeach, but enough to show this isn't a partisan exercise...
