GOP Rep Introduces Motion Against Witness After His Character Assassination of Trump

GOP Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) had a point of order after listening to Democratic counsel Barry Berke's character assassination of President Trump at Monday's House Judiciary Committee hearing.

Berke began his opening statement by sharing that his young son asked him recently if the president has to be a good person. He said no, but that is "the hope."

The Democrats' star witness today is literally testifying that Trump should be impeached because his son says he's a "bad person."

YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS UP


Berke proceeded to question Trump's motives during his July phone call with Ukrainian President Zelensky.

"President Trump did what a president of our nation is not allowed to do," Berke charged.

The witness added that Trump's actions are "impeachable offenses" that "threaten our republic."

"When you talk about the ABCs of potential presidential abuses, it is extraordinary that the president's conduct was a trifecta, checking all three," Berke said.

Rep. Johnson accused Berke of violating Rule 17, explained here .

"The witness has used language which impugns the motives of the president and suggests he's disloyal to his country and those words should be stricken from the record and taken down," Johnson said.

Nadler rejected Johnson's point of order because, he explained, the rules that apply to them don't apply to the witnesses.

"Witnesses are not subject to the rule of decorum in the same way members are," he claimed.

Johnson let out a frustrated sigh.

Nadler appeared prepared for this kind of interruption, as he read from a prepared statement.

"The topic of the hearing is the president's misconduct, so none of us should find it surprising that we are hearing testimony that is critical of the president."

The chairman concluded that he did not find Berke's testimony "disorderly."

During their 15-minute break, Ranking Member Doug Collins (R-GA) sounded off about the Democrats' "destruction of the House rules."

My natural dislike for these treasonous monkeys is turning into something much darker.

I’ll all for hammering the RATS, but it would seem that Rule 17 pertains to members of the House during debate on the House floor not witnesses in a hearing.

But he had “charisma”, so the leftist “ladies” proclaimed him innocent.

The witness was then allowed to question a witness in a very nasty YES OR NO type rapid questioning

Same here. I know we’re supposed to pray for our enemies, but I’d love to see the floor in the hearing room
collapse, and then watch Waddler and all of the dems slide into hell.

As Democrat counsel it seems to me he’s representing every Democrat on that Judiciary Committee.

Nadler said a jury could convict in 3 minutes, or less time that it takes him to bend over to tie his shoe.

He advocated for abortion so it was okay. Those women were encouraged to ‘take on for the team’

Every one of the “witnesses” are narrating a script (and many just repeating the same Dim prescribed talking points) and offering opinions with no fundation in any “evidence” for the opinions.

But they were perfectly fine with an ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia being in the White House in direct violation of the Constitution shipping guns to Mexican cartels, siccing the IRS on US citizens, illegally overthrowing the Libyan government, allowing Ambassadors to be killed, giving back jihadis so they can jihad again, arming jihadis, using the intelligence agencies and the FBI to rig the next election.

We’re supposed to accept every degenerate in society as good, not pass judgement and actually celebrate their degeneracy. But we’re supposed to impeach Trump because they don’t like him and can’t get over losing the election.

Meanwhile, they have accomplished absolutely nothing since they were elected in 2018. I didn’t think anyone could be worse than Paul Ryan.

“My natural dislike for these treasonous monkeys is turning into something much darker.”

I have never witnessed such scum, and I do not understand how they get away with this
