7. I do not have cable. Where can I watch it?

One of the few disadvantages of not having cable.

[Miles Archer]

8. No idea, sorry, but there may be clips later

If it's "eventful," there will be clips. If it isn't, probably not. No idea what's coming. But if I spot a clip, I'll share it here, unless someone else posts it first.

If you have SiriusXM, they now stream all channels for subscribers. MSNBC is ch 118

[Delmette2.0]

52. I'm going to check CSPAN. n.t

[JesterCS]

11. Any minute now! N/t

[Miles Archer]

14. It's now supposedly "within the hour," so they're late

As soon as it's live I'll post here.

[bdamomma]

15. Yes I noticed

that room isn't exactly full. I would love it if I was there. But I would have to be very quiet , plus I would need credentials.

[CousinIT]

18. Did I miss it or has it not started yet? 6:43 in the ET. n/t

[blaze]

19. Hasn't started

[Talitha]

21. Thanks for the heads up on this, Miles Archer!!!!!

[yaesu]

22. I heard they may hold an official impeachment investigation vote so tRump will quit whining

but I don't think they should cave to that demand as there is no requirement to do so.

[bdamomma]

24. They are not ready

to bring it forth, they need more Dems to go with the inquiry. I think.

[brettdale]

23. Has her press conference started?

Has her press conference started?

[bdamomma]

27. Yes,

She is talking about HR3, this bill won't get anywhere if it goes to McConnell.

She's not getting in the meat and potatoes.

[Miles Archer]

25. ON NOW n/t

[ffr]

26. She sounds like a president.

Is this a coincidence?

Madam President!!!

[ffr]

28. The mens' balls are green tonight.

[riversedge]

29. msnbc said a bit earlier that there was no consensus on whether to take a formal vote

[bdamomma]

31. This has me

shaking my head.

[grantcart]

33. Don't need a vote to proceed

If they vote for a formal committee the tradition is you give the President the power to subpoena for discovery.

[bdamomma]

35. thanks for

the info. I don't thought something big was going to happen, but I'm not a House member.

[grantcart]

39. On the phone so can't link but lawfare.com has article

That states in 1974 and 1998 the Judiciary Committee gave the President "procedural rights" that allowed the President to have his lawyer present for depositions etc.

The Republicans changed the rules during Obama administration that gives Chairman unilateral authority to issue subpoenas which they could not do in 74 and 98, so they don't need a vote to get the job done.

[StarfishSaver]

40. It's not a law or rule and the Republicans have thrown tradition out the window, soooo

[bdamomma]

30. Adam Schiff

will be coming out to speak.

[grantcart]

32. Fantastic job Madam Speaker

Detailed information

Point by point

Only needs her notes for verbatim quotes.

On top of the whole shebang.

[Miles Archer]

34. MSNBC just broke away

No news, nothing we don't already know. A recap of what has been well-covered in the news.

[bamagal62]

36. CSPAN even cut away! Arrrggghhhh.

[EveHammond13]

37. I'm afraid to get up to go eat

[brettdale]

38. Not really a news worthy press conference

Just going thru the bullet points of what people already knew.

[Miles Archer]

42. Kornacki: Pelosi closed by saying NO VOTE on impeachment inquiry. n/t

[BumRushDaShow]

44. I believe she said it was NO VOTE ON THE INQUIRY.

[flibbitygiblets]

45. My take as well. They're just saying "our house, our rules, go f**k yourself, you're not in charge"

I'm paraphrasing of course.

[Miles Archer]

47. It bolsters the case for ongoing obstruction

Every day, drip drip drip...Trump thinks it's getting better because he's stonewalling, but it's actually the opposite.

[BumRushDaShow]

51. Exactly!!

(and she sounded really pissed about it too )

[Miles Archer]

46. Correct. Should have included "inquiry."

[BumRushDaShow]

53. And she was about to let the reporter have it!

like this -->

[dalton99a]

50. Pelosi is in charge of the House and she is following House rules.

Trump can go fuck himself

[egduj]

54. That was weird.

[Jarqui]

55. Pelosi said there are no rules that require a vote be taken

Schiff explained that with Nixon, Clinton and Mueller there was a special counsel who operated behind closed doors. Bot DoJ/Barr tried to sweep this whistleblower complaint under the carpet rather than appoint a special prosecutor. So Congress has no choice but to do the investigative work of a special prosecutor behind the scenes like a special prosecutor.

Schiff also made clear that the GOP have had equal time questioning every witness until all questions have been answered.

Pelosi pointed out that because the GOP cannot defend the President, the only thing they can try to attack is the process. But the House is following the Constitution and the process prescribed by it and no vote is required. The House is not falling for a media debate about meaningless stuff.
