Based on this standard, any representative that ever appeared before a hostile committee is involved in a coverup. 

 

Even you, local chapter president of the He-Man-Trump-Hater club will acknowledge these types of hearings are an embarrassment to intelligent and fair-minded people everywhere, yes?  

 

Nadler: "With regard to page 74 of 435 of the Herr Oberfuhrer Mueller report, paragraph 7, line 4, it's obvious the President was terrified of the cover up being exposed. What other explanation would you have?". 

 

Witness: "Can you read page 74 of 435, paragraph 7, line 4?"

 

Nadler:  THIS IS ABSURD! I HAVE NO TIME TO BE SPECIFIC ON A REPORT SUMMARIZING THRER YEARS, HUNDREDS OF SUBPOENAS, HUNDREDS OF WITNESSES AND A FEW DOZEN DOORS KICKED IN! 

 

It's all very Salem witch-trialesque. 

 

Imo, Lewandowski followed the model that makes the most sense. Volunteer nothing, elaborate on nothing, respond with obvious disdain and contempt for the hacks on the committee, and leave them stewing in their own juices.

No, we have never seen this level of stonewalling, refusal to provide transparency, refusal to allow "acting" directors to appear for confirmation, refusal to testify by President, refusal to allow credible whistle blowers complaints to reach congress--in violation of law, lies, lies and more more lies 

 

This level of resistance  is unprecedented and against everything our government was set up for with regards to checks and balances

- Eric Holder, 2012.

 

Oh, wait.  Holder didn't even testify, he just ignored Congress completely.

That's all you got? 

Umm...Obama released his taxes. He was way more transparent. You are checked

Corey Lewandowski Trolls Befuddled Democrats on House Judiciary Committee

Lewandowski treated them like a joke because that’s what they are. A joke.

 

 

Former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski appeared before the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday and answered questions for hours. It was the latest attempt by Democrats to appear as if they are trying to impeach Trump.

MATT VESPA ON COREY LEWANDOWSKI’S RESPONSE TO IMPEACHMENT THEATER: 

 

“I mean that’s brutal. But this is how we’re going to win. We can’t take their crap anymore. And frankly, they all deserved to be slapped around a little.

 

No more with losing with dignity. No more accepting defeat. Fight back, frustrate, and waste these Democrats’ time because they’ve sure done a pretty solid job doing that with everyone else’s concerning this farce investigation.

 

Even CNN noted that Lewandowski straight-up owned the Democrats today.”

 

Yep. If they want to be taken seriously, they need to act seriously. And they’re certainly not doing that.

Adam Schiff, the Lady Macbeth of the House

by Patricia McCarthy

 

Original Article

 

“It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing”? -Macbeth There are numerous people in Congress who should not be there for a variety of reasons: Ignorance, incompetence, uncompromising partisanship, lack of patriotism, a dark heart full of hate, and sheer moonbattery.

House Democrats are so frustrated with President Trump’s administration and his allies blocking their investigative efforts that some have seriously encouraged invoking a long-dormant power Congress has to jail or fine uncooperative witnesses. House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), the lawmaker leading the impeachment inquiry, indicated some support for the idea, The Washington Post reported.

It sounds extreme, but it’s an authority so integral to Congress that it’s in the name “inherent contempt.” Congress used that authority throughout much of its history to enforce its ability to subpoena people and documents, though it hasn’t been used in nearly a century.

Under inherent contempt, Congress could fine people who aren’t cooperating with them today. At the top of their list for any of these punishments might be the acting director of national intelligence, Joseph Maguire, who is withholding a whistleblower complaint about the president, or former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, who complied with a subpoena but mocked Congress once there.

Adam Schiff's Impeachment Fun Playhouse

by Clarice Feldman

 

Original Article

 

In tacit recognition that his party will never beat the President in 2020 with the gang of whackos vying to head their ticket and that no real impeachment will ever occur, Congressman Adam Schiff, with the acquiescence of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, called to order what they are calling an “impeachment inquiry.” It’s presumably designed to see whether formal impeachment proceedings should begin. (Impeachment proceedings cannot take place without a vote to do so in the House.

 

Vulnerable Democrats would never vote for it any more than would almost all Republican Congressmen. And conviction and removal from office for impeachment would have to occur after a full hearing and two-thirds vote in the Senate. Which also will not happen.

 

The Democrats, again, are counting on the civics and Constitutional ignorance of their base.) It flopped, in any event. The hearings, in fact, show that this is simply the rerun of the Russian Collusion scam. Only the name of the country has changed -- this time, it’s Ukraine; a country you may know is a major enemy of the Russians.

 

As Daniel Greenfield persuasively argues, these investigations are attempts to delegitimize the President and his Administration, and I predict people are sick of this nonsense. I urge you to read this article in its entirety.

ADAM SCHIFF AS THE VOICE OF REASON?  ?

House Democrats have decided that Adam Schiff, not Jerry Nadler, will lead their impeachment charge. 

 

The Washington Post suggests that Corey Lewandowski’s appearance before Nadler and the House Judiciary Committee sealed the deal. In the Post’s words, Lewandowski “made his questioners look helpless. . .” One top Democrat pronounced the hearing “a fiasco.”

 

According to the Post, Schiff earned the trust of his Democratic colleagues as a public messenger by leading the party’s charge on alleged collusion by President Trump with Russia. Rep. Denny Heck, a Democrat from Nevada [correction, from Washington] , says:

There’s no better guy on the face of the planet to undertake this [investigation] in an adultlike, intelligent, integrity-filled manner than Adam B. Schiff. Period, full stop.

Maybe there are two Adam B. Schiffs in the House.

 

The one I’m familiar with beclowned himself pursuing the non-story of Trump’s collusion with Russia. The collusion narrative he peddled for more than two years collapsed.

 

The Adam B. Schiff I’m familiar with kicked off the Ukraine-related impeachment campaign by misrepresenting what Trump said to Ukraine’s president during the now famous phone conversation between the two. Schiff later claimed his rendition was a “parody.”

 

 

This is what passes for “adultlike, intelligent, and integrity-filled” within the Democratic caucus.

 The Intelligence Committee is where the truth-challenged Chairman Adam Schiff is orchestrating the impeachment action.

 

Rep. John Ratcliffe made two key points: the Intelligence Committee should not be where the action is and what we have here is failure to communicate.

 

The two are related. RealClearPolitics has posted video along with a transcript here.

Trump supporters talking about lies of other politicians?

Quote


A federal judge on Monday dismissed President Trump’s lawsuit seeking to block the Manhattan district attorney from obtaining the president’s tax returns as part of an investigation into hush-money payments during the 2016 campaign.

U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero rejected Trump’s argument that the presidency makes him immune to any investigation by any prosecutor.

In his 75-page ruling, Marrero called such a claim “extraordinary” and wrote, “This Court cannot endorse such a categorical and limitless assertion of presidential immunity from judicial process.”

The ruling allows District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. (D) to enforce a subpoena he sent to Trump’s longtime accountants, Mazars USA. Trump had filed an unorthodox lawsuit seeking to stop that subpoena, saying that he would suffer “irreparable harm” if prosecutors obtained his tax returns. The Justice Department also took Trump’s side in the case.

The justice department actually sided with the "unlimited power" argument of the president
