Back in March House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told us that the Democrats were only going to move forward on impeachment against President Trump if their inquiry was "clear, compelling, and bipartisan." They've found none of those things, House GOP Conference Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) observed ahead of Wednesday's hearing with the House Judiciary Committee. The congresswoman shared an abbreviated list of grievances on Tuesday night at the House Republican leadership press conference.
And yet, despite having all the advantageous cards, the Democrats "now have come out of this and fundamentally failed to prove their case," Cheney concluded.
The next set of impeachment inquiry hearings kicks off with the House Judiciary Committee Wednesday morning. Again, the Democrats' list of witnesses leaves much to be desired. As Beth covered, they consist of liberal lawyers.
"The Constitution does not say that impeachment shall be the responsibility of a panel of liberal activists, but that's where we’re going to be tomorrow," Cheney regretted.
