Adding this to what has already been mentioned...Pelosi's son had his hand in the Ukraine cookie jar. Queued up below for a brief overview:

 

 

Also, you can watch from about the 1 minute mark to hear what else is alleged against him (defrauding property and weaponizing CPS to have her children removed).


Well, that explains a lot.

Ah, there's the rub.  The subpoenas are still enforceable, because the hold isn't valid if it's issued by a clone of a Supreme Court justice.

 

The Democrats are playing checkers while Trump plays chess while the Democrats play five-dimensional parcheesi.

WSJ Columnist: Adam Schiff’s Secret Subpoena Adventure Could End with Legal Buckshot in His Face

 by Matt Vespa

Original Article

 

 

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), high Chancellor of the Trump impeachment effort, might be getting away with murder. The impeachment circus that has engulfed D.C. has overshadowed the House Intelligence Committee chair’s egregious abuse of power. He executed a secret subpoenas adventure of phone records of prominent Republicans. He got their phone records and published them in the committee’s 300-page impeachment report. Now, the report is a work of fiction. Schiff is a liar, and nothing from House Democrats on this whole fiasco should be believed.

NADLER SAYS HOUSE CAN READ TRUMP’S MIND, THEN IMPEACH HIM:

 

It’s an extraordinary claim in the House Judiciary Committee’s just released report on the constitutional grounds for impeachment.

 

You will find it on page six in the graph beginning “Fourth” where it is stated that: “The question is not whether the President’s conduct could have resulted from permissible motives. It is whether the President’s real reasons, the ones in his mind at the time, were legitimate. Where the House discovers persuasive evidence of corrupt wrongdoing, it is entitled to rely upon that evidence to impeach.”

I don’t think it’s blanket immunity. He can’t be sued for anything he says on the House Floor or in Committee. He can however be beaten with a cane. 
In the words of W. C. Bryant, "Has it come to this, that we must speak with bated breath in the presence of our Southern masters?... Are we to be chastised as they chastise their slaves? Are we too, slaves, slaves for life, a target for their brutal blows, when we do not comport ourselves to please them?"

No.  The purpose of Congressional immunity is to prevent Congressmen and Senators from being persecuted and silenced while Congress is in session.  

 

While immunity isn't blanket, I'm pretty confident saying that in an impeachment case, a Congressman won't be arrested for anything related to that impeachment, as it would be extremely difficult to argue that's not in some way a political prosecution.

You mean like getting other Congressmen's, staff members and journalists phone numbers and exposing them in official public documents?

What Schiff did is a variation on a theme.

The defense of what many consider to be indefensible actions by “investigators” is always: “but Trump”.

Chuck Todd is a dumb, dumb, man. If he got hit by a truck and was in a coma, he'd be as capable as he is at present to do his job.

 

Am I the only Ted Cruz fan on this board?

said immunity does not extend to commission of a crime.

 

however, i guess revealing classified information may not be a prosecutable offense. but... does that protect him from unlawfully spying, i dunno.

Should I turn myself in for the thoughts I had while watching The Blue Lagoon?

 

It's not what thoughts that you had, but why you had them. And we will decide, based on our objective and impartial powers of conjecture, what was running through your mind at that moment.

Well, in 1980 all it took was a little breeze, so maybe that can be my defense.

Not hardly. I’ve been watching and following his career ever since he was a little tyke. Here’s a family photo with his proud papa standing behind him.

Trump should put him on the Supreme Court.
