Kangaroo Court

Interesting news nuance: If Nancy Pelosi does not cause a full House of Representatives vote on the Trump impeachment inquiry, then, of course, she protects all those Democrats who have been recently elected from districts that Trump won in 2016. But there are two other more important reasons for this sham. Without a full House vote, the Republicans have no subpoena powers nor can witnesses have White House counsel present in this possibleTV spectacle. Thus, Republicans cannot call any witnesses or influence the agenda of this kangaroo court. As a consequence, the Trump administration has refused to honor any of Pencil Neck’s subpoenas until a full house vote is held ... which refusal obviously will also be trumpeted as more obstruction by the president.

Now, dear reader, you know the rest of the story ...
