Over the weekend, House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings offered a strong hint at when the impeachment of Donald Trump will begin – but that hint was essentially a conditional, and didn’t adhere to the calendar. Now Cummings’ counterparts on two other key House committees are offering a more definitive timeframe.

Elijah Cummings said that while the House is currently waiting to win its court battles over impeachment evidence and testimony before proceeding, it could go ahead and immediately jump to impeachment if Trump directly defies a court order at any point during that process. Yesterday, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler appeared on MSNBC and pointed to “late in the fall” of 2019 as his ideal timeframe for introducing articles of impeachment if they’re going to happen.

Tonight, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff also appeared on MSNBC. He said that if some of the court battles over evidence and testimony end up being “drawn out too long,” he wants to begin impeachment even without those pieces of evidence.

It now very much appears that the “big three” committee chairs are on the same page, as they’re each saying a variation of the same thing. House Democrats are aiming for late fall as the start date for Donald Trump’s impeachment, because that should give them enough time to win most or all of their court battles over impeachment-related evidence and testimony. If they haven’t won every battle by then, or if Trump defies a court order in the meantime, they’ll just go ahead and do it. These three committee chairs control the impeachment process as much as Speaker Nancy Pelosi does.

It's been a tough week, a tough month, a tough year. For all of us. But the fight goes on. Because we know how important this is. Because we care. Because we're the ones who fight. It's you and me. It has been for a decade. And I'm never backing down. But Palmer Report does have operating expenses. And in this uncertain time, I truly need your help. For that reason I've launched the Palmer Report 2025 Operating Expenses Fund. If we can fully fund this, it'll bridge the gap and ensure that Palmer Report can keep fighting now and forever. I'm asking you to contribute what you can to our GoFundMe Page or our PayPal Page, both of which accept debit and credit cards. Thank you.
