Schiff Talks Impeachment: Moving Forward Before Being Able to ‘Flesh Out the Facts’
Breitbart ^ | Oct 2019 | PENNY STARR4

Posted on 10/05/2019 10:30:23 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said at Northwestern University on Thursday that the House Democrats “might be forced to move forward on impeaching President Donald Trump before being able to ‘flesh out the facts,’” which he blamed on the White House’s “obstructionist acts and delay tactics.” The Chicago Tribune led its reporting on Schiff’s speech at the college – known for its journalism programs – with Schiff’s claim, despite the fact that the when Democrats raised concerns about the president’s phone conversation with the Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Trump released the transcript from the call.

The Tribune reported on Schiff’s claim that Trump asked Zelenskiy and other foreign leaders to interfere in the U.S. elections, one of the most “pernicious threats to our democracy” coming from a presidency.

And he’s in a hurry to impeach a duly elected president.

“I’m certainly concerned that there’s a need to act expeditiously here,” said Schif, who is leading the investigation as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. “We don’t want this to drag on forever.”

Schiff said:

At the same time, (the White House has) apparently every incentive to try to make it drag on forever. And there may very well come a point where we have to make the decision that the effort to obstruct has become such an impediment that we have reached a decision point — even in the absence of being able to fully follow and flesh out the facts surrounding the president’s Ukraine conduct.

Maybe he should “flesh out the facts FIRST, before moving forward, not moving forward, before knowing all the facts.

If Trump has anything on Schiff, now would be a good time for it to leak.

And if he doesn’t, why not?

They're going to impeach him on false charges of X, Y, Z???

The last time they called for a special prosecutor? Why didn't they call for impeachment before?

So what's different that they're calling for it now?

I'm betting that Comey wrote the Whistleblowers complaint.

All they care about is their 'truth', not the facts.

Shiftless Schiff wouldn’t know a fact if it bit him in his teeny tiny little pecker.

Moving Forward Before Being Able to ‘Flesh Out the Facts’

The Delusional Lying Left: "My mind is made up, don't confuse me with the facts."

These are illegal government proceedings because they are absent reasonable suspicion or probable cause. The "impeachers" should be impeached.

Every Presidential election from here on out will be a battle for the very life and liberty of America.

The greatest threat to America is its own 80%+ unconstitutional $4 trillion Totalitarian Federal Government (AKA "Deep State") which has us, the American People, in its cross-hairs.

TIME TO DISMANTLE the $3 trillion unconstitutional portion of the Feds which is the artillery of the Left or or the Left and their totalitarian government will dismantle us and our beloved country.

Democrats are doing now what they did back in 2010.

They may never get another opportunity to undo the Trump presidency, and so they have to use that opportunity before the 2010 election, when they suspect they will lose the house and be out of power.

In 2010, they also took the opportunity to try to take control or the American health-care system with Obamacare. It was their only hope after having tried for mover than 50 years to do so. They had the majority in the house and they were in a panic, and ended up with a one-sided vote for ACA, or Obamacare. Not s single republican voted for it, and that’s the case now with impeachment, were only democrats are talking impeachment. They will have to pull the trigger on impeachment, warranted or not, since it’s their only opportunity to do so.

the “remove Trump at all cost” establishment pukes are essentially laying a red line in the sand, so to speak, daring the American people to cross it. Apparently they care not about the fact that they are supposed to serve us, the citizens, not the other way around as is currently and without question being demonstrated by the congressional democrats.

“Show me the man, I’ll find the crime.”

Words the Illegal, Unconstitutional, Totalitarian Lying Left live by.

TIME TO TAKE THEM DOWN by taking the 80%+ unconstitutional portion of the feds down. If not now, when? As I said, WE'RE in THEIR crosshairs, with only Trump standing in the way...

Either we take their mostly illegal government down NOW, or shortly they will take us down.

Or "We have to pass the bill to read what's in it". It's the Pelosi Dictum.
