About the author
U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
48 books9 followersThe United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence is a committee of the United States House of Representatives. It is the primary committee in the U.S. House of Representatives charged with the oversight of the United States Intelligence Community, though it does share some jurisdiction with other committees in the House, including the Armed Services Committee for some matters dealing with the Department of Defense and the various branches of the U.S. military.
The committee was preceded by the Select Committee on Intelligence between 1975 and 1977. House Bill 658 established the permanent select committee, which gave it status equal to a standing committee on July 14, 1977.

A President shaking down an ally for dirt on his political opponent; lies and deceit in obstructing Congress in its Constitutionally-prescribed duty to oversee the Executive Branch; incompetence mixed with greed and baseness - welcome, folks, to the penultimate year of President Trump's third term and second act in the impeachment saga.
If Mueller's Report left citizens hungering for more before proceeding with impeachment, this Report, prepared by the House Intelligence Committee, obliterates any further intellectual roadblocks. Not only did President Trump explicitly hold-up Congressionally-passed military aid to Ukraine during its fight with one of the United States' greatest foreign foes, Russia, but did so in order to further his own personal and political preferences.
There is much to lament in these pages, but perhaps most of all is that Republicans, of the House, Senate, and many in the Rust Belt, will not read them. This Report deftly tells the story of how Trump's extortion of Ukraine was not merely a one-time flight of fancy, but an orchestrated hit job that would make any of Martin Scorcese's big-screen gangsters blush (or nod in approval).
There is no denying, after reading this Report, that impeachment is the proper course. A President who puts self-interest above country, who uses America for his thuggish ends, is the type of character that our Founding Fathers conjured up when rationalizing the need for an impeachment power in the Constitution.
Senate Republicans may not read this Report; indeed, many may cast aspersions on these findings, lowering the morale of those who still put faith in justice, honesty, and integrity in public affairs. Even amidst the swirl of partisan politics, read this report; evangelize on its contents; show your friends and family who may lean towards Trump that America is better than raw extortion, bribery, abuse of power, and contempt of law.
If we can start restoring faith in truth and decency, that will go much further than any verdict passed down by the Republican-run Senate.
