"As you did when he won It did give me a chance to take to the streets a lot. == Three questions to guide public impeachment hearings Kyle Cheney Politico 11/07/2019 politico.com House Democrats on Thursday unveiled a narrowly tailored set of questions that they say will guide their public impeachment hearings, with a focus squarely on President Donald Trump's behavior in the Ukraine saga. The topics will be used to steer the next phase of the impeachment inquiry, with a series of public hearings set to begin Wednesday featuring testimony from two State Department officials on efforts by Trump to pressure Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and other political opponents. The three questions are: • Did the President request that a foreign leader and government initiate investigations to benefit the President’s personal political interests in the United States, including an investigation related to the President’s political rival and potential opponent in the 2020 U.S. presidential election? • Did the President – directly or through agents – seek to use the power of the Office of the President and other instruments of the federal government in other ways to apply pressure on the head of state and government of Ukraine to advance the President’s personal political interests, including by leveraging an Oval Office meeting desired by the President of Ukraine or by withholding U.S. military assistance to Ukraine? • Did the President and his Administration seek to obstruct, suppress or cover up information to conceal from the Congress and the American people evidence about the President’s actions and conduct? The questions themselves were unveiled by the House Rules Committee last week, when Democrats established formal parameters for their impeachment inquiry. They were described at the time as "three interrelated lines of inquiry" that the impeachment probe had centered around. But for the first time on Thursday, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, the leader of the impeachment investigation, confirmed that those queries would also be the official parameters of the public hearings as well. Schiff also delivered those parameters to Republicans on Thursday as he formally solicited their requests for witnesses they would like to call publicly. The narrowly focused questions are likely to provoke outrage among Republicans who have indicated they would like to call a range of witnesses who may speak to subjects beyond the Democrats’ interest. < Snip Rest: Full text available at link above > <<
