Judge Dismisses Impeachment Lawsuit After Democrats Pull Plug on Witness​


Judge Dismisses Impeachment Lawsuit After Democrats Pull Plug on Witness | Breitbart
30 De 19 ~ By Joel B. Pollak
A federal judge in Washington, D.C. dismissed a lawsuit Monday that sought to determine whether a witness had to obey a subpoena from the impeachment inquiry after Democrats withdrew the subpoena and impeached Trump anyway. U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon decided Monday that the suit filed by Charles Kupperman, a former aide to former National Security Advisor John Bolton, was moot because the subpoena had already been withdrawn. The House Intelligence Committee had sought to compel Kupperman’s testimony as part of its inquiry into President Donald Trump’s dealings with Ukraine, alleging he withheld U.S. aid in return for investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden, who at the time was leading polls to win the Democratic Party’s 2020 presidential nomination.
Kupperman had wanted the court to rule anyway, but Judge Leon said that there was no chance the House would re-issue the subpoena, based on Democrats’ written submissions to the court. That might seem to contradict their claims elsewhere that they would continue investigating Trump with a view to new articles of impeachment.
President Trump was impeached for “obstruction of Congress” because he would not comply with congressional subpoenas. Democrats chose to impeach him anyway, before the courts had weighed in on his authority to do so.

So it appears that although there was a vote in Congress, the Judiciary has dismissed the Impeachment lawsuit.

The House withdrew the lawsuit two months ago. That it took two months to make a ruling that the lawsuit was moot just shows how slow the judicial system works.
