House Judiciary Committee ranking member Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) blasted the Democrats’ “focus impeachment” on Monday and House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff’s (D-CA) absence specifically, contending that the majority party knows its partisan impeachment effort is “going nowhere in the Senate.”

Jerry Nadler failed to swear in impeachment witnesses until after opening statements, letting Democrat Barry Berke make several factually dubious claims.

Berke invoked his young son as he began his opening statement in the House Judiciary Committee’s second impeachment inquiry hearing.

A protester interrupted Monday’s impeachment hearing before the House Judiciary Committee, shouting that it is Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and the Democrat Party who are “committing treason against this country” and adding that they are trying to remove President Trump “because they don’t like him.”

Never in the history of public schooling has a regiment of substitute teachers been so disappointed in their rowdy new pupils as the impeachment professors were Wednesday.

CNN and MSNBC both used a deceptively-edited video clip to misquote President Donald Trump talking about Article II of the Constitution in July — the same misquote used by Democrats in the House Judiciary Committee this week.

It is clear, in full context, that Trump was speaking about the extensive Mueller investigation, which had just concluded — and not about his Article II presidential power in general.

The White House said Thursday that Schiff’s impeachment report has the wrong number: no one ever called Giuliani from OMB, or vice versa.

While speaking to reporters on Wednesday, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) stated that President Trump’s actions meet the three-part test for impeachment that Nadler talked about in the past and argued that President Trump’s actions “threaten the survival

On Wednesday’s broadcast of Fox News Radio’s “Guy Benson Show,” Fox News Political Analyst and co-host and columnist for the Hill Juan Williams criticized that day’s impeachment hearing as “a distraction.” Williams said, “I don’t think that this is informing

Harvard Law School professor Noah Feldman warned his readers against giving in to the tempting desire to patronize “white people who didn’t go to college” if Hillary Clinton were to win the presidential election.

Stanford Law School professor Pamela Karlan apologized on Wednesday for invoking President Donald Trump’s 13-year-old son, Barron Trump, to criticize the president during the House Judiciary Committee’s hearing on impeachment, but added that she hopes the president apologizes for his past actions. 

Trump said to Ukraine’s president: “I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot.” Not the “royal ‘We’.”

One of the Democrats’ star witnesses, Stanford Law School professor Pamela Karlan, invoked Barron Trump during Wednesday’s House Judiciary Committee hearing in an attempt to attack the president, drawing sharp criticisms from the GOP.

Turley on impeachment: “If you make a ‘high crime and misdemeanor’ out of going to the courts, it is an abuse of power. It’s your abuse of power.”

Harvard Law School professor Noah Feldman, one of the Democrats’ star witnesses called to testify before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, authored an op-ed in May lamenting the lack of seriousness surrounding efforts to impeach President Trump, and admitting that House Democrats “made it painfully clear that discussing impeachment is primarily or even exclusively a tool to weaken Trump’s chances in 2020.”

Democrats voted to kill a motion to subpoena the “whistleblower” whose complaint prompted Democrats to launch the impeachment inquiry.

Stanford Law School professor Pamela Karlan lashed out at House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Doug Collins (R-GA) in her opening statement, saying she was “insulted” at his insinuation that she did not read her fellow witnesses testimony ahead of her testimony before the panel on impeachment. 

Norm Eisen, the counsel chosen by Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee to question “expert” witnesses Wednesday at its first impeachment inquiry, founded an organization funded in part by billionaire left-wing financier George Soros.

Turley: “This would be the first impeachment in history where there would be considerable debate — and, in my view, not compelling evidence — of the commission of a crime.”
