Talk:United States House Committee on the Judiciary

Judicial Task force section

Hello all,

I have added references for all the info on the Judicial Task force. The section also had the word "leasurely" (sic) used to describe the Task Force's work. I removed this due to the fact it seems POV and rewrote the end of the Task Force's authorization in 2008 and the group's renewed authorization in January this year. Hope this helps. - Thanks, Hoshie 04:48, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Updates needed ASAP

The section on the 116th Congress is too far behind events to be useful. Committee membership needs to be specified. Wcmead3 (talk) 16:42, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Oops. The lag appears to be in the House, not in Wikipedia. I haven't (yet) found a reference that indicates that the committee has been selected! Wcmead3 (talk) 16:55, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Impeachments/Committee Jurisdiction

The article says judiciary is in charge of impeachments. That is not correct. Congress can assign impeachment investigations and the writing of articles of impeachment to any committee it chooses. It is correct to say that Judiciary has historically been a committee regularly assigned the task of handling impeachments. However, over the course of history, other committees have handled them as well, including select committees. The sentence should be deleted if its role in impeachments is later discussed.Olliemae (talk) 03:59, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

to continue investigating Trump for potentially impeachable offenses related to Robert Mueller’s investigation, add here or/& ... ?

The House Judiciary Committee wants to continue investigating Trump for potentially impeachable offenses related to Robert Mueller’s investigation. The committee is still trying to obtain grand jury secrets from the Mueller probe, but Trump's Justice Department has blocked the disclosure of the materials because it plans to take the case to the US Supreme Court. In a letter to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, the House wrote that “its investigation into President Trump’s misconduct is ongoing” and that material from the grand jury will help it decide whether Donald Trump “committed additional impeachable offenses in obstructing Special Counsel [Robert] Mueller’s investigation and whether to recommend new articles of impeachment.” The letter adds: “The current pandemic notwithstanding, the Committee’s investigation is not ‘dormant.’” The committee is particularly interested in the differences between what the witnesses from the Trump campaign told Mueller’s investigators and what Trump said to Mueller in his written answers, as well as what convicted former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort said about Trump during his secret testimony.

Update: May 7, 2020 the Trump administration asks the US Supreme Court to temporarily block the release of secret Robert Mueller grand jury evidence, which the D.C. Circuit cleared in March regarding US House investigation of Trump for obstruction and potential new articles of impeachment. from Timeline of investigations into Trump and Russia (2019–2020)

How to waste taxpayer time and money

- Have a nine year probe of a presidents son with the most idiotic clown car set of characters - Call for an impeachment of the president Biden with no substance because the people doing it can’t come up with any useful bills. - Have a set of people who are afraid of a past president with multiple indightments. We have a name for these kind of gutless fools, but I can’t use it here. If I was your children I would be so embarrassed.

If i was hiring someone to fix my house and they don’t deliver I fire them. I think it is time for a whole sale firing of this legislature. 2600:4040:2089:9E00:F1A5:1B2F:A150:C81F (talk) 20:01, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
