"... a travesty of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of a travesty of two mockeries of a sham"

Today's #impeachment resolution adopted by the House of Representatives includes a key provision that has the potential to become a game changer.

I was wondering if they got this language in:

The House Resolution incorporates by reference procedures adopted by the Judiciary Committee that will be entered into the Congressional Record. Those procedures are contained in an accompanying document, which has this key language:

“Should the President unlawfully refuse to make witnesses available for testimony to, or to produce documents requested by, the investigative committees . . . in furtherance of the investigations described in the first section of [this resolution], the chair shall have the discretion to impose appropriate remedies, including by denying specific requests by the President or his counsel under these procedures to call or question witnesses."

I will be impolitic and call that the "Fuck you, buddy" clause.  There is a real genius here:  "You wanna complain about 'process'?  I'll give you process, motherfucker!"

Trump wants to talk about substance, but all the White House did this morning is issue a statement complaining about:  process.  Even the NRCC wanted to complain the process is a travesty, while complaining one Democratic representative wasn't taking the "travesty" seriously enough:

As House Democrats prepare to officially blow up their Majority with impeachment, @RepKatiePorter is prancing around dressed as Batman.

This is how seriously these clowns are taking impeachment. #CA45 https://t.co/5MtDwuoP0J pic.twitter.com/IGURqGViMl

I mean, when that's the best defense you've got....

This fight is being waged entirely on Pelosi's terms.  Trump is in her wheelhouse, and he's not getting out anytime soon.
