He needs to arrest and charge these people with treason. Time to stop pussyfooting around.
Fight back, and fight hard!
That nasty media liar, Paula Reid on CBS screamed on tv this morning saying Trump doesn’t have the right to face his accuser because this isn’’t a legal proceeding, it’s a political show trial by lying Dems and lying reporters like paula.
Ed Morrissey seems to live in the bubble, and goes mushy in a heartbeat. His speculations often go right off the map. I miss Michelle Malkin.
The WH can begin by making a list of all the people who were first hand witnesses to the phone call and assign them to exotic field jobs in Pakistan.
They’ve only committed treason if you use Henry VIII’s definition of treason, not the one in the Constitution.
Absolutely, especially over the attempted coup. I mean what the hell is going on here?? In other countries they execute people for that kind of stuff and it’s all brushed aside here? “Oh the hoax we made up didn’t work so now let’s try another coup with another hoax”
Article III: "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."
Who is the enemy they are adhering to?
Schiff read this so-called "parody" into the Congressional Record......are there not severe laws for falsifying the C/R?
You are correct. The charge should be for “Sedition”.
Unless, of course, we can find a connection to Iran or China. Then it’s a whole different game.
the actual, for real “whistleblower” in this whole circumstance is the President and this retributive show trial being orchestrated in the House is about Federal retribution upon a whistleblower (President Trump) for having shone the light of day upon their treasonous, seditious conniving
Ed morrissey is as disgusting as Allahpundit.
Lost all patience with nevertrumpers.
Globalism. Their boner for a one world government.
The President should be demanding the impeachment of the members of Congress who voted for impeachment that are candidates for President. Can we agree that this biased analysis left out the obvious disconnect between facts and fantasy? The Senators and Congresspersons running for President who voted for impeachment are guilty of the same charge as President Trump is alleged; using their office (impeachment vote) to gain personal advantage (in election). What else did he miss? Well, VP Joe Biden in a video bragging about how he had his son’s Ukrainian prosecutor fired by withholding State Dept. funds with Hillary. Say, isn’t that the ‘crime’ alleged against the President? So where’s the impeachment of Biden and Obama as well?
I think Hitlery made a similar preposterous claim regarding Nixon and whether he could have an attorney present during impeachment. These POS dems have no regard for rule of law. I love to go back about 800 years and put each of them before a Star Chamber.
Thee is a little problem with bringing charges against a member of the US Congress, House OR Senate, if they make some kind of statement from the floor of the House or the well of the Senate - No matter how treasonous, no matter the degree of calumny, anything spoken from there, or entered into the record CANNOT be tried in a court of law. However, each House of Congress can reprimand its own members if these statements fall outside reasonable standards of propriety.
Congressional immunity refers to a special immunity that is granted to members of Congress. The following are the exemptions granted to the members of Congress under congressional immunity :
1. A Congress member is exempted from arrest while attending a session of the body to which the member belongs, excluding an arrest for treason, breach of the peace, or a felony, or;
2.A Congress member is exempted from arrest or interrogation for any speech or debate entered into during a legislative session.
The special instance for the exemption under the second circumstance only holds if the statements in question are spoken FIRST from the floor in legislative session. If made outside the legislative session, the rules apply the same for Congress as they do for anybody.
I realize I am a Trump supporter but regardless of names and party, I viewed Schiff’s reading of a purported transcript, a transcript which had not been released and which was thought would never be released, I viewed Schiff’s reading of what he called a copy of the transcript with utter shock.
I sat there watching over and over again this video clip of Schiff reading as if Trump was doing a mafia style shakedown (as described by Schiff).
When the transcript was surprisingly released, Schiff was challenged by what he had done and said it was a ‘parody’.
So now the President is calling for his arrest. Even if this was a Democrat President calling for arrest of a Republican, I would see nothing wrong with an expression regarding such an arrest. This was not some strange reading on a street corner, this was reading a lie into the Congressional Record from the floor of the House of Representatives.
Schiff’s reading of a false transcript into the Congressional Record is an act of treason. It was an attempt to portray the President as a dictator who overstepped the bounds of law. It was an act designed to foment another coup.
Ed Morrissey describes the President’s call for arresting Schiff on Treason as ‘overplaying his hand’ but it is not overplaying. It rightly puts the focus on Schiff while encouraging Americans to question Schiff’s loyalties.
communists?
I'd just like the opportunity for a "discussion" with schiff for brains in a dark alley.
