Schiff steers Trump impeachment drive straight toward a ditch – Here's what's next
Fox News ^ | November 18 2019 | Liz Peek

Posted on 11/18/2019 6:19:15 AM PST by knighthawk

Adam Schiff has made a complete hash of the Democrats’ impeachment inquiry. The decision by the California Democrat and House Intelligence Committee chairman to conduct the first series of interviews behind closed doors allowed Republicans to appropriately brand the enterprise as unfair and clandestine.

His next step, orchestrating a steady stream of leaks and disclosures timed and edited for maximum impact, all but guaranteed that last week’s subsequent live hearings would be anti-climactic.

Schiff stole his own thunder.

What’s next is the fumbling, bumbling, former-tubby Jerry Nadler.

A good time guaranteed for all!

With exception of a few, FOX NEWS is doing its best to discredit our PRESIDENT.

True enough. But as long as the MSM continues to give cover to this bug eyed Stalinist, refuses to critique the inherently lopsided show trial, Schiff is doing exactly what he wants to do. This nonsense is have its desired deleterious effects on Trump and the nation. Time to fight back hard. That means going after the Democratic corruption that involved Paul Pelosi and Hunter Biden, Nancy and Joe and Schiff himself hard and relentlessly.

the premise is flawed.

The premise assumes Schiff actually had thunder

FOX is certainly conflicted. But that is unlike just about every other MSM/Cable outlet, which is 100% not conflicted, because its 100% against Trump.

Agree, premise is incorrect. This idea is not popular and even dangerous. Yet another coup attempt. If I were the GOP, I would be targeting those house swing seats now.

The democrats realize they are putting gloom over our Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Why are they doing this to our nation?

...conduct the first series of interviews behind closed doors...

They had to make sure the "witnesses" (who apparently actually have not witnessed anything first-hand) were on script.

His next step, orchestrating a steady stream of leaks and disclosures timed and edited for maximum impact...

This is the real purpose of the "impeachment inquiry" - to damage the President. If they had anything resembling evidence of an impeachable offense they would have begun immediate formal impeachment proceedings. You don't think Pelosi is such a fan of the President as to try to prevent it? Of course not. They don't have anything usable in real legal terms. So they'll stumble around in an "inquiry" leaking as much unsubstantiated "testimony" as possible. All in a context free of perjury consequences. Because when push comes to shove, and real prison time is a real possibility...the story is vastly different than what is spun in the MSM via "anonymous sources."

There’s only one thing to understand about this whole “impeachment” process. If the House democrats were serious about getting something on Trump, they would have left Nadler in charge, not Schiff. The fact that Schiff is leading this whole thing tells you everything about how unserious this really is.

Gloom only for Trump supporters. All the others will have joy and cheer at the thought of Trump’s impeachment and subsequent removal (in their fantasies).

Uh, actually voting on the articles presented? Did I miss a late night vote over the weekend or late last week?

Adding to the public’s ennui is that the resolution of the impeachment is a foregone conclusion. It’s like Agatha Christie revealing whodunit in Chapter One; it steals the story’s punch.

Well, maybe Schiff prefers Columbo to Agatha Christie. The problem is ... he ain't Columbo.

There is NO organization in the MSM community friendly to our President. Fox Business News is very friendly but not Fox News.

They’re putting gloom over somebody? In some households it may be a turkey day discussion but for us, we’re just pissed they’re wasting and abusing our tax dollars with this fraudulent pile of steaming crap.

I think that Republicans should quietly start an anti-Schiff campaign in his district, aimed a Democrat radicals: that Schiff must be turned out of office for “failing” to impeach President Trump.

Pray that he takes the entire Party of Hate and Evil into the ditch along with its "impeachment" joke and that the ditch empties into a bottomless pit from which there is no return.

The world has been cursed enough by the Democrat Party and its long, ugly history of:

slavery
Jim Crow
the Democratic White Primary
segregation
the ku klux klan
lynching
racism
the Trail of Tears
abortion
infanticide
witchcraft
atheism
satanism
coup d'etat
voter fraud
illegal immigration
propaganda
hate
evil
and a vile attempt to overthrow the 2016 Presidential Election.

The world has seen quite enough of the Party of Hate and Evil!

America will truly be great again when the disease which is the Democrat Party is permanently ditched into the rat infested garbage dump of history where it belongs.
