Impeachment Hearings Open In House Of Representatives

 Democrats Give John Dean Another ‘Big Thrill.’

Dean’s misconduct hardly began with Watergate. In 1966 he was fired from the Washington law firm of Welch & Morgan for “unethical conduct” that was “grounds for disbarment,” columnist Jack Anderson reported in April 1973. Dean had apparently tried to make a private deal for a TV broadcast license when he was supposed to be negotiating it on behalf of one of the firm’s clients.

 

During the Reagan Administration, seeking a new thrill, Dean — by now apparently beholden for life to the liberal Democrats who bestowed both 15 minutes of fame and a Get Out Of Jail Free card — declared in Newsweek that “The Iran-Contra inquiries involve matters of national security,” while “Watergate, on the other hand, involved the political security of Richard Nixon. These are Major-league matters versus Little League.”

 

In 2004, his big thrill was claiming that the crimes of President George W. Bush — chiefly liberating Iraq — were worse than Nixon’s, warranting Bush’s impeachment.

Democrats to begin fake impeachment hearings

 

Everybody knows that impeachment is not popular with the voters and a majority want to move on from the RUSSIAN collusion political soap opera. But what do you do when your political base is a bunch of blood-thirsty, camera-*****, anti-Trump hotheads? You hold fake impeachment hearings: all of the spectacle with none of the political damage. We'll see how that works out, but today, Nadler will begin the fake impeachment hearings in the Judiciary Committee with Nixon-era sleazebag John Dean front and center.

For what reason John Dean? Who knows. 

 

 

 

Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.), the ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee, sent a letter to Chairman Jerry Nadler about his plans for fake impeachment.

 

In light of Monday’s hearing entitled, “Lessons from the Mueller Report: Presidential Obstruction and Other Crimes,” I am compelled to remind you— and request you remind the Majority Members of the Committee — the Rules of the House prohibit Members from “engag[ing] in personalities” with Members of Congress, Senators, or the President. This appears to be part of a strategy to turn the Committee’s oversight hearings into a mock-impeachment inquiry rather than a legitimate exercise in congressional oversight. Conducting such hearings inevitably sets this Committee on a collision course with the longstanding Rules of the House, which you have apparently alluded to as recently as this week.

 

 

Here are some of the points Collins reminds Nadler of:

 

  • Personal abuse, innuendo, or ridicule of the President is not permitted.
  • It is not in order to call the President a ‘‘liar’’ or accuse such person of ‘‘lying’’.
  • It is not in order to cast aspersions on the ethical behavior of the President.
  • Accusations that the President has committed a crime, or even that the President has done something illegal, are unparliamentary.
  • Language impugning the patriotism or loyalty of the President is not in order
  • Personally disparaging the manner in which the President carries out the duties of the office can constitute a personality, such as when the remarks suggest that the President is an undemocratic leader akin to a dictator.
  • A Member may not read in debate extraneous material personally abusive of the President that would be improper if spoken in the Member’s own words, such as material labeling the President’s statement a lie.

 

Collins provides examples for each one of these things that have been ruled out of order in the past because they do not follow House rules.

 House Democrats’ Hearing Recycles Anti-Trump Felon. 

 

“Remember, the point of these hearings is to put on a show, have selected segments air on television and disseminated on the internet, hope the public turns to support impeachment and then go forward with impeachment.

 

Sadly for Fat Jerry, the NYC helicopter crash directed media coverage away from the Judiciary’s freak show so he didn’t get the intended media coverage.”

 

 

 

 

Showbiz is like that sometimes.

Telling the White House counsel to lie on one’s behalf in order to defeat an inquiry into his own wrongdoing is illegal conduct. 

 

I just wonder if Trump can/will be prosecuted for this when he leaves office. That is classic witness tampering and its all in the Mueller report

Is it really bad that I've had both? Only difference, my Vega was a '74 but man, that strawberry Boones Farm taste like champagne while sitting in it! ?

John Dean was a rat and convicted and served a cushy time in sentence, but barely 1/10th of what he probably shoulda done

 

perfect role model in 2020 for the Dems!!

This will rile up the usual idiots

It won't rile anyone up so why don't you just sit back down.... ?

I heard Acosta on the radio on the way home also say he's had many "backroom" (his own term for "off the record") conversations with Sarah and Kellyanne too where he claims they told him #orangemanbad stuff 

Acosta is the biggest bullsh1t artist (liar) in the WH press corps...
