Not looking great for Schiff, the lead impeachment manager.
This partisan impeachment charade hackery has dragged on far too long, since about Jan. 20, 2017. Only willfully ignorant zealots can’t see that the alleged sins of Donald Trump fall far short of high crimes and misdemeanors — and frankly far short of Obama’s abuse of power in implementing Obamacare, Hillary Clinton’s sending classified emails over a private server while secretary of state, or Joe Biden’s own Ukraine-related quid pro quo.
As if that were not enough, Democrats’ slimy tactics throughout this entire spectacle have “threatened our democracy” far more than any benign phone call Trump has made while occupying the Oval Office. For proof, read the transcript of the call. Not Schiff’s made-up nonsense impersonation. The real transcript.
From the very beginning, Schiff has been an incompetent buffoon at best and a conniving, contemptible snake at worst. Rewind to any point in Trump’s presidency, and you’ll find Schiff peddling some nonsensical garbage.
Schiff promulgated the suspect Christopher Steele dossier, spreading the Trump-Russian collusion conspiracy at every turn. In fact, Schiff claimed in his report, ironically titled “Correcting the Record—The Russia Investigation,” that the Justice Department “made only narrow use of information from Steele’s sources about [Trump campaign adviser Carter] Page’s specific activities in 2016.” The inspector general’s report, however, later revealed that Steele’s reporting “played a central and essential role in the FBI’s and [DOJ’s] decision to seek the FISA order,” used to spy on the Trump campaign.
Regarding the current attempts to undo the results of the 2016 election, Schiff hyperbolized the Trump-Zelensky transcript in his own theatrical version of the phone call during a congressional hearing. Later, his staff worked with the whistleblower prior to the filing of the official complaint, interactions Schiff then denied before he moved to prevent the whistleblower from testifying before the House Intelligence Committee.
Now as head impeachment manager, Schiff is calling for a “fair trial” in the Senate. “Right now, a great many, perhaps even most, Americans do not believe there will be a fair trial,” he said during his opening statement before the Senate Tuesday. “They don’t believe that the Senate will be impartial. They believe that the result is pre-cooked, the president will be acquitted.” This hogwash occurred just as news broke of another probable Schiff sleight in misrepresenting the Lev Parnas evidence.
While it may come as news to Schiff, “most Americans” probably aren’t watching this risible proceeding. But for those of us who are, we know for a fact Democratic actors haven’t been “impartial.” We just hope this Schiff show will be over soon.
Pelosi’s Rules for Impeachment
Announce your target’s guilt before you investigate.
Set the tone by stating big sensational lies about your target.
Always claim to have absolute proof.
Hearsay evidence is the best evidence.
Opinion and presumptions are as good as hearsay.
Partisan experts make great opinions.
If the rules don’t permit hearsay, change the rules.
Fact witnesses don’t matter.
If there is no whistleblower plant one.
Coach whistleblowers and witnesses to say what you want them to say.
Audition witnesses in secret and only present to public the most favorable ones.
Whistleblowers are just to get an investigation going, they don’t have to be witnesses.
Do not give your opponents any rights that you don’t have to.
If you control the marjority, you don’t have to.
Make up new committee rules.
Give yourself the first and last word.
Committee rules don’t matter.
Committee precedent doesn’t matter.
Do not allow your opponents to ask relevant questions.
Dismiss points of order as not cognizant.
Do not be distracted by actual corruption that isn’t by your target.
Do not allow investigation of actual corruption that isn’t by your target.
Do not allow your opponents any witnesses
Do not allow your opponents any counsel
No proof is necessary to indict or write articles of impeachment.
She bathes in hogwash...fifthly demonic whore.
LOL! I agree.
Actually, when what Pelosi said is parsed out, she is correct: Kevy Boy is a eunuch who does not know how to use power to set and accomplish his supposed goals as Speaker.
They got rid of Trump [it was a community effort of Republicans, Democrats, and neverTrumpers] . Anyone can see the mess we have now. They may deny it, but it can bee see. To wit} High fuel prices, high grocery prices, That quicksand mire in Ukraine that they continue to pour tax payer money in while the Southern Border goes to hell and human traffickers and illegal drugs and criminals including murders continue to flood in uninterrupted, Housing shortage, and soon to be a shortage of fuels and meats. to name a few . And the sheep don’t GAF. What peeks the interest of the sheep, A/K/A Biden Worshipers and Neo Cons, etal. is making sure Biden and Zelenksy continue to get their blood money, and the use of the Power of the Government to ensure that your children and grandchildren are sent to Ukraine to be slaughtered inn order that Biden, Zelensky, Etal. continue to receive their Blood Money.
When Joe got to Washington, he was immediately id’d as not particularly bright, but he was particularly corruptible. The democrats and rinos immediately embraced him as one of their own (someone they and their accomplices could do business with). Joe is a member of “The Club”, and he will either retire gracefully (and he and his family richly rewarded), or else. People who are a threat to the Deep State don’t seem to fare well.
“They’ve had eight months of investigation, come up with nothing.
If true why is she so worried about it she never was good at hiding fear the entire party knows they are the dots being connected.
wasn’t what they settled on, like the russian collusion, a hoax?
A disgusting pig-s**t like her must be well familiar with “hogwash”.
That’s a load of codswallop!
“That’s hogwash. Now here are a series of statements and denials that are completely unrelated to the accusation.”
You left out the part about having the intelligence committee run the inquiry so the proceedings could be kept secret .
Anytime wannabe statesmen get folksy with their jabber, they be spinnin yarn in a way that don’t turn out to be straight.
Its the seriousness of the charge that must be investigated
Don't forget that means we get to decide which dems get to sit on the investigating committee. Sorry Shift for brains you are out.
She did and she’s a liar. Aren’t they all?
Pelosi 9/24/19: ‘Today, I’m announcing...an official impeachment inquiry.’
10/15/19: ‘There’s no requirement that we have a vote so at this time we will not be having a vote.’
10/31/19: ‘Today, the House takes the next step forward as we establish procedures for open hearings.’
