They don't even have the guts to make the inquiry official with a vote. They're not going to arrest anybody. This is nothing but an intimidation tactic.

There’s this thing called the constitution, heard of it?"The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe. I did try to found a heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy."

Originally posted by JimL View PostYes, I believe you are, MM. But if you're not, you should be. Besides that, this is an investigation, not a trial, there is no trampling of due process. You and lilpix have no idea what you are talking about!
I hope that sounded better in your head than when you said it out loud."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe. I did try to found a heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy."

But even an investigation must follow due process. It's why the police can't simply stroll into your house to see what you're up to, or arrest you without cause and subject you to hours of questioning, or subpoena your bank records without a warrant.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Same with Congress, without a legal summon, you don’t have to subject yourself to even showing up. No subpoena, there’s not a darn thing they can do to make anyone show up. Most of these congressmen are lawyers, they know this. They are just hoping the average citizen doesn’t.Last edited by lilpixieofterror; 10-14-2019, 10:03 PM."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.

They're not going to arrest anybody.“He felt that his whole life was a kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.” - Douglas Adams.

Originally posted by Tassmoron View PostThey don't have to. The Constitution gives the House "sole power of impeachment," allowing it "may determine the rules of its own proceedings."
The thing is, the Democrats have the numerical advantage and could make it all official today if they wanted, so why won't they? What are they afraid of?Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

We will see who is arrested at the end of the day. Trump is already surrounded by felon associates, including his personal fixer/lawyer Michael Cohen...soon to be followed by Rudy Giuliani it seems.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde
