The three big lies Democrats are pushing in Tuesday’s impeachment hearing

In Tuesday morning’s impeachment inquiry hearing, in the questioning of Lt.-Col. Alexander Vindman of the White House National Security Council and Jennifer Williams of Vice President Mike Pence’s staff, Democrats are pressing three misleading themes.

First, Chairman Adam Schiff and the Democrats’ counsel, Daniel Goldman, have attempted to frame a dichotomy between President Trump and what they call “official” US foreign policy. It’s a false framework. Official policy is not, as they suggest, made by the so-called policy community (comprised mainly of the NSC, the State Department and government agents from the intelligence community and the armed services). The president makes American foreign policy.

The function of the policy community is to give the president its best advice and the benefit of its considerable knowledge and experience. But in our representative republic, policy is made by the only official who actually answers to the voters whose lives and interests are at stake — the president.

Arrests of the coup ringleaders (Obama and Hillary) are sadly are not forthcoming, although a couple of lower level conspirators will likely be sacrificed in an attempt at appeasement. Our 2-tiered justice system is a long-established fact.

Isn’t there some provision in the Constitution for tarring and feathering unscrupulous congressmen and riding them out of town on a rail? If they did it to the Duke and the King in Huckleberry Finn over the Royal Nonsuch, it seems a fitting punishment for a fraudulent show trial, too. Same characters, different time.

Left out the biggest: “Impeachement Inquiry”.

“we’re witnessing the suicide of the D party.”

I really think that about a generation from now it could be common to talk about the dim party as a relic of outstanding failure. If enough truth blows up soon as a result of their overreaching corruption that timeframe could be greatly reduced.

According to Lt.-Col. Alexander Vindman... He makes foreign policy, and the President is supposed to follow his advice.

The brainwashed dem and RINO voters act as if the media controls foreign policy and everything else. A good reason to get the border and immigration under contril.

To paraphrase George Costanza.

It’s not a Lie if the people who support you believe it.

McCarthy: It is also correct that US intelligence agencies and the Mueller investigation assessed that Russia was behind the hacking attacks.

That's what their "assesment" said but their evidence was that Crowdstrike, who was paid by the DNC, said so.
