Pompeo says State Dept. officials won’t show up for scheduled impeachment depositions this week

[Faun]

So..the stonewalling begins..will it work? Or..will it just pour gas on an already burning fire?
I sense Pompeo may be panicking just a bit..after all...what harm could there be..if all was on the up and up?

Pompeo says State Dept. officials won’t show up for scheduled impeachment depositions this week

"Secretary of State Mike Pompeo fired a broadside at House Democrats on Tuesday, saying State Department officials scheduled to appear this week before committees conducting the impeachment inquiry would not be made available until “we obtain further clarity on these matters.”
The refusal, in a letter to House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot L. Engel (D-N.Y.), described the demand for depositions by five officials who played a role in U.S. relations with Ukraine as “an attempt to intimidate, bully, and treat improperly, the distinguished professionals of the Department of State.”
The statements came as Pompeo’s role in the Ukraine investigation broadened with reports that he was a participant in the July 25 call by President Trump to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, which led to the impeachment investigation.

Before that report, first published by The Wall Street Journal, Pompeo had brushed off questions about the incident, saying last week that he had not yet read the transcript of the telephone call released by the White House, or the whistleblower complaint that it sparked.
The committee, along with the House Intelligence and Oversight panels, had requested the five officials to appear for depositions this week and next, to begin Wednesday with Marie Yovanovitch, who was recalled by Pompeo as ambassador to Ukraine in May, prior to the end of her tour.
Other State Department officials scheduled for depositions include Kurt Volker, the administration’s special envoy to Ukraine, who resigned last week; Deputy Assistant Secretary George Kent; U.S. ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland; and State Department Counselor T. Ulrich Brechbuhl."

It isn't an impeachment anything, no formal vote to begin the process was taken, this is fake........

No formal vote is needed.

The Impeachment Process in the House of Representatives

Yeah...again, they need to vote...they didn't....but thanks for the confirmation.

Stop lying. I just gave you a link to the House rules on the impeachment process which indicate no such vote is needed.

Play on

ummmm.... no. you are either mistaken due to the fake news you swallow - or you are deliberately lying. a formal inquiry needs no 'vote' - it is only to show that the speaker is on board with INVESTIGATING. votes are required within the judiciary committee to go ahead with impeachment proceedings & articles of impeachment are drawn up - then it goes to the floor.

A formal inquiry begins with a vote, in fact the vote is what makes it formal vs informal. Got that little froggy

Keep wanking

you do know that the votes were already there - exceeding the needed amount.

Pompeo is an ass, and a hypocrite. HRC was Sect. of State and appeared before the Congress on the Benghazi Issue. Of course Pompeo is not the only ass who is a hypocrite, others like him post here and all over the AM radio dial.

Dumbfuck, you just said there's no such thing as an impeachment inquiry -- no you say a House vote must be taken to authorize an impeachment inquiry.

Regardless of your confusion ... no, a House vote is not required....

Overview

The impeachment process may be initiated as the result of various actions and events, including the receipt and referral of information from an outside source, investigations by congressional committees under their general authority, or the introduction of articles of impeachment in the form of a House resolution.

Regardless of what might instigate an inquiry into whether impeachment is warranted, there are normally three formal stages of congressional action. First, an impeachment inquiry is authorized, and this is most often accomplished through the adoption of a simple resolution (H.Res.___) directing the Judiciary Committee to investigate an official.​

.... "most often" ... as in ... not always.

Now stop lying.
