SCOOP: The Judiciary Committee is preparing to take its first formal vote to define its Trump impeachment investigation.

Language still in flux but a draft is tentatively planned for Mon. morning, with Wed. vote. Story w/ @heatherscope @BresPolitico

politico.com/story/2019/09/…
@heatherscope @BresPolitico The discussion came up during a conference call of committee Democrats Friday. Though Chairman Jerrold Nadler has declared impeachment proceedings are already underway, there's been confusion among Dems about how to characterize the issue to constituents. politico.com/story/2019/09/…
As my colleagues point out in @playbookplus today, the reason this story matters is if the Judiciary Committee really does set the formal parameters of impeachment proceedings it’ll be hard to stop a moving train >>>

Trump attacking a whistleblower who was promised protection from retaliation by the acting DNI >>>
Here's the part of the DNI's Sept. 17 letter when his top counsel says "we will not permit the complainant to be subject ot any retaliation or adverse consequence" for filing the complaint with the IG.
Also worth emphasizing: Trump (whose White House knows at least some elements of the whistleblower complaint) seems to be confirming that he knows exactly which phone conversation it refers to and even recalls his tone during that conversation.

NEW: Did Rudy Giuliani ask Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden? “Of course I did,” he said tonight, as new reports suggest an intelligence community whistleblower complaint centered on Trump’s relationship with Ukraine. politico.com/story/2019/09/…
Lawmakers say they don’t know what’s in the complaint, but they had already zeroed in on 7/25 a call between Trump and Ukraine’s new president. A Ukrainian readout said Trump urged them to take up corruption cases hampering the US-Ukraine relationship. politico.com/story/2019/09/…
And Dems want to know why Giuliani’s meetings with Ukrainian officials appeared to have been facilitated by the State Department. politico.com/story/2019/09/…

Keeping this thing secret doesn’t appear to be sustainable for DNI anymore...
Also, Schiff said he couldn’t get an answer when he asked the DNI if the complaint was related to something his panel was investigating.

Democrats announced last week they were looking into possible efforts by Trump/Giuliani to pressure Ukraine into aiding his reelection.
This part of the House Democratic committee chairmen's Sept. 9 letters to the White House on the president's call with Ukraine -- same day the IG reached out to Congress -- seems particularly relevant now. intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…

BREAKING: The House Judiciary Committee is preparing to take its first formal vote to define what Chairman Jerry Nadler calls an ongoing “impeachment investigation” of President Donald Trump, according to multiple sources briefed on the discussions. 1) politico.com/story/2019/09/…
The panel could vote as early as Wednesday on a resolution to spell out the parameters of its investigation. The precise language is still being hammered out inside the committee and with House leaders. A draft of the resolution is expected to be release Monday morning. 2)
source familiar w/ discussion said any move next week would be intended to increase the “officialness” of ongoing probe following a 6 wk summer recess in which some Democrats struggled to characterize to constituents that the House had already begun impeachment proceedings. 3)

THREAD — THERE IS NO #IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY

Deeply troubling that #Pelosi and #Nadler are trying to obfuscate and confuse Democratic voters.

But let's be clear, as CNN reports today: "Pelosi and Nadler have so far resisted the pressure from within their party to open an inquiry."
THERE'S NO IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY

After months of intense activist pressure @SpeakerPelosi and @RepJerryNadler realized they had to throw Dems a bone, so they concocted a convoluted narrative to make it appear the #impeachment process has begun. It hasn't.

@SpeakerPelosi @RepJerryNadler THERE'S NO IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY

Let's be honest: Dem leaders want to punt to 2020 voters while Trump abuses power with total abandon.

#Nadler's words: “If an impeachment inquiry is if you’re considering only impeachment, that’s not what we’re doing.”

This is a bombshell. @TheAtlantic calls for #Trump impeachment. Because he has waged, "an attack on the very foundations of America’s constitutional democracy."

"#Impeachment is a process, not an outcome, a rule-bound procedure..."
