There is a lot of shenanigans in these new house rules. Looks like Pelosi has scheduled the impeachment process for April 15th, 2019 [Page 2, section "committee oversight"]: docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/…
Pelosi removes term limits on committee chairs.
Pelosi rebukes forcing House members to pay for Sexual Harassment settlements. Obfuscates by holding responsible only for infractions of 1995 discrimination settlements (pg 10) docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/…
Pelosi removes super-majority rule (3/5th) for raising middle class income taxes. Income tax increases now subject to simple majority approval. (pg 5) docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/…
Pelosi removes rule on head-wear in House floor. Now allows all religious head wear and apparel. (also page 5) docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/…
Pelosi puts Elijah Cummings into specific oversight role. Cummings now responsible for new and narrow specific White House oversight. (page 2) "Special Oversight Over White House" {setting stage for impeachment hearings] docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/…
As noted Pelosi creates new legal power of House Legal Counsel (Douglas Letter) to oppose U.S. Department of Justice; and spend, without limits, for outside legal representation to oppose legal position of DOJ on healthcare. (pg 13) docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/…
In essence, Speaker Pelosi is setting up a secondary Legislative Branch department of justice specifically for use by House of Reps. to oppose the Executive Branch Dept. of Justice. This should get really interesting...

Don't say we were not warned.
