House Freedom Caucus Chairman Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Arizona, told his colleagues on the House Judiciary Committee that the impeachment hearing didn't have three fact witnesses but instead professors with "preconceived biases" against President Donald Trump.
"One of my colleagues wondered how this panel could opine as to whether the president committed a criminal offense," said Biggs, referring to the witnesses. "The answer quite frankly is because you came in with a preconceived notion. You already made that determination."
Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz, took legal expert Noah Feldman to task in Wednesday's House Judiciary Committee impeachment hearings for his 2017 tweet arguing for President Donald Trump's impeachment.
"The expansive view you have of impeachment is a real problem," Biggs said.
"What I'm suggesting to you today is a reckless bias coming in here. You're not a fact witnesses. You're supposed to be talking about what the law is, but you came in with a preconceived notion and bias."
They've gotten into shouting matches over whether socialists are Nazis. They've clashed with the parents of children who died from gun violence. And they've insinuated that a key witness was having an affair on the eve of a marquee hearing.
They're some of the most colorful Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee — and these lawmakers are ready to bring their antics to the next act in the impeachment saga.
The House Judiciary Committee will hold another impeachment hearing this week related to Democrats' vindictive effort to impeach President Trump. The committee will be entering a strange new place never encountered before in the history of the republic by receiving jury instructions without a trial.
Democrats, especially those in swing districts, are looking for an "off ramp" to move away from impeachment because they're "feeling the heat" from their constituents, House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Biggs said Friday.
If we have learned anything in the last two weeks, it is the reality of the deep state, or swamp. Democrats have been relentlessly attacking President Trump since his election. They have been joined by the Washington establishment that includes much of the media, bureaucracy and the executive branch itself.
President Trump signed legislation Thursday to fund the government for another month, after Congress passed the stopgap spending resolution.
Funding for the government was set to expire at midnight Thursday.
The Senate on Thursday approved the continuing resolution to fund the government through Dec. 20 by a vote of 74-20, following the House's approval on Tuesday.
Congressional leaders from Arizona want to name the Veteran Affairs clinic in Gilbert after a Chandler soldier killed last year in Somalia.
Staff Sgt. Alexander Conrad died on June 8, 2018 during a mission focused on targeting militant groups in Somalia. The 26-year-old was the first serviceman from Arizona to die in combat since 2016.
U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs, whose district includes a large portion of the East Valley, introduced the legislation, calling it a small token of appreciation for Conrad and his family.
Democrats have resorted to focus groups in key battleground states to try and come up with an impeachable charge against President Trump. After throwing around "collusion," "obstruction of justice," and "quid pro quo," they had decided to claim that President Trump committed "bribery" or "extortion." But, Nancy Pelosi can't really explain what the bribery was. Now they are rallying around the term, "attempted bribery." They continue to strike out with middle America.
Don't be surprised if House Democrats never bring up a vote to impeach President Trump. And if they do, it will only be because their leaders are willing to pay the price of seeing some Democrats who were elected in swing districts carried by Trump in 2016 go down to defeat in 2020.
