Congress almost never sticks to a schedule but it appears they're on track for the rough timeline envisioned in September:

-Two weeks of pre-Thanksgiving Intel hearings
-Two weeks of post-Thanksgiving Judiciary hearings
-Floor consideration week after that
-Pre-Christmas vote

JUST IN: The Judiciary Committee has released a staff report on the "Constitutional Grounds for Presidential Impeachment."

judiciary.house.gov/sites/democrat…
The report sharply refutes the notion that impeachment overturns the previous election:

"No President is entitled to persist in office
after committing 'high Crimes and Misdemeanors,' and no one who voted for him in the
last election is entitled to expect he will do so."
The report itself is dense, laden with citations from the Federalist Papers and the intention of the Founders -- but it's a historic document in that it fills out the *very* thin records of precedent for presidential impeachment.

NEWS: SCHIFF says Pence aide Jennifer Williams submitted additional tetimony Nov. 26 that Pence's office deemed classified.

He's asking for it to be declassified and says it's relevant to corrobrate other Ukraine/impeachment evidence.

Schiff's letter:
INTERESTING: Here's what Williams told Congress about the Sept. 18 call between Pence and Zelensky. She said the Burisma/Crowdstrike investigations didn't come up. No Biden either.
NEW: The revelation that a Pence aide provided new impeachment information — and that Pence's office classified it — is the first sign Democrats are continuing to gather new evidence in the Ukraine matter.

JUST IN: The White House tells Congress to just get the impeachment over with — doesn’t directly indicate its plans for participating in the House impeachment hearings.
Love that they still bother to call him “The Honorable Jerrold Nadler” before lacing into him with every other word of the letter.

There is ALOT of arguing about the legal #Impeachment process, so I thought I would lay the steps out for you.

Regarding the #ImpeachTrump campaign,
I am not the right person to answer if the laws are being followed by The House against the impeachment of @POTUS
🔸2
The Constitution lays out two specific actions, treason and bribery, that could lead to impeachment and removal of a president from office.

Then there is a broader category to accuse a president of a crime, although that category is more vague.
High crimes and misdemeanors
🔸3
High crimes and misdemeanors and NOT defined in the Constitution.

▫First, an impeachment resolution must be introduced by a member of the House of Representatives.

Of 235 #Dems in the House, 139 publicly support #impeachment investigation on #Ukraine allegations that #Trump personally & directly intervened in release of foreig#n aid $ to a “hot” war zone & raised investigating #Biden. Today I expect we will hear #Pelosi saying it’s time.
While the #MuellerReoort gave ample grounds for concern on #Trump campaign 271 contacts with #Russians, this is a case where #Trump admits undeniably dangerous behavior & obstructing Congressional oversight of it.
#Trump calls #Ukraine Pres 1 day after #Mueller testimony in Congress reduces #GOP fear of #impeachment. bit.ly/2llpbBS

“The House Dem Caucus is not on a path to impeachment & that’s where Trump wants us to be” – @SpeakerPelosi. She calls on Trump’s family to have an “intervention” but refuses to use the House’s “intervention” tool: impeachment.
Home next week. Call your reps. #Impeachment
“We were getting about 2 to 1 calls that were opposing impeachment. Now the calls are 3 or 4 to 1 we need to be moving forward..it’s getting too out of hand. We’re getting closer & closer to that [impeachment] point.” – @RepKatieHill
“a 'growing majority' of Democrats think #Impeachment is 'inevitable.' “I think [ @SpeakerPelosi ] fully understands that – her caucus understands impeachment's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when"– @RepJohnYarmuth

BREAKING: Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein denies a NYT report that he suggested last year he secretly record Trump to expose chaos in the administration. According to the Times Rosenstein also floated the idea of trying to remove Trump through the 25th Amendment. apnews.com/e84a4acdb42641…
Rod Rosenstein should know better than to joke about something like the 25th Amendment. Especially in the era of Trump.
McCabe memos say Rosenstein considered secretly recording Trump
