Trump lashes out at impeachment inquiry in fiery news conference
Washington Post ^ | Oct. 3, 2019 | John Wagner , Felicia Sonmez and Felicia Sonmez

President Trump launched a broadside against Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) at a joint news conference Wednesday afternoon with the president of Finland, after the House Intelligence Committee chairman warned the White House that “we’re not fooling around” on the impeachment inquiry.

The president’s attacks on Schiff came after Democrats announced that they would subpoena documents related to Trump’s July phone call with the leader of Ukraine.

House and Senate committee staff met with the State Department inspector general who gave them a packet of documents containing conspiracy theories about Biden’s son as well as the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine. But it’s unclear where they originated.

Democrats are evil.

Trump did NOT do anything wrong or impeachable.

If by “fooling around” he means fools running around making up sh*t, he is lying, again.

The washington post knows something about toppling a president. It’s the holy grail for the left. They dream of destroying a Republic president, and their goal is right ahead of them, and they are unable to restrain themselves.

Here we go again with the “conspiracy theory” bullshit.

Washington Compost pushing the narrative.

No republic can survive a dishonest media.

SCHIFF SHUTS OUT REPUBLICANS Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas wrote:
“We demand equal representation and participation in the scheduled Ukraine inquiry, there is too much at stake for America and Congress.”

PELOSI PULLS A FAST ONE In his letter addressed to Chairman Eliot L. Engel, D-N.Y., McCaul further argued
that despite statements made by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats,there is no impeachment inquiry
b/c Pelosi did not ask Congress to vote on it.

The house voted to start an inquiry?

I missed that. San Fran Nan deemed it past Ed didn’t she?

Just keep the Democrats going! They're self-destructing just as they would lead America into self-destruction if they could!

Thank God for President Donald Trump.
God has shed His Grace on thee, America, yet again.

MAGA!

For what its worth, perhaps these never ending impeachment sessions are like the GOP repealing Obamacare how many times?
Just a kabuki, making their voters think they actually represent something other than the nepotismic ruling class they are.

Can the Democrats afford to throw Schiff under the bus and keep up their fake impeachment?

Can the Democrats afford to throw Schiff under the bus and keep up their fake impeachment?

Adam Schiff has been central to one embarrassment after another for the socialist Democrat party.
He lied for two years about the Russia collusion evidence, now he does the same to push impeachment.

He's been caught with his hand in the cookie jar, conspiring with a CIA spy in the White House to create a
whistleblower complaint that triggered impeachment.

Schiff's gambit has ensnared Quid Pro Joe, who helped his son make millions in deals while he was vice-president,
even bragging on video tape about his prowess to get results (to both protect his son and help the partners cash in).

Screwball Schiff reading from “Democraps’ Impeachment Playbook” warns that resistance to Congress’
demands counts as “evidence” of obstruction of justice, and warrants another impeachment charge.

Balderdash ..... pushback is NOT obstruction. Trump has a constitutional right to defend himself.

Stomping on Trump’s civil rights ..... trying to use pushback for impeachment.....only suggests they’re out of options.


Spox for House Intel Committee Chair Schiff acknowledged that the whistleblower who triggered
impeachment had (cough) “reached out to Schiff” BEFORE filing a complaint

SPIT-— SURE he did. AFTER Schiff called around asking for dirt on Trump.

Come on......it’s next to impossible to believe a Deep State insider with six-figure govt job comes on bended knee in obeisance to Schiff for “help”
.....and that “benevolent Schiff helped” him write the complaint.

ASAP-—Trump’s apparat needs to subpoena Schiff’s email, landline records, snail mail, etc, to find out who Schiff has been talking to.

Schiff knows who’s get the dirt. The Intel committee he heads oversees all or part of the following executive branch departments and agencies:
Office of the Director of National Intelligence

Central Intelligence Agency

Defense Intelligence Agency

Department of Defense

Department of Energy

Department of Homeland Security

Department of Justice

Department of State

Department of Treasury

Drug Enforcement Administration

Federal Bureau of Investigation

National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency

National Reconnaissance Office

National Security Agency

Office of Naval Intelligence

Twenty-Fifth Air Force

United States Army Intelligence and Security Command

United States Coast Guard Intelligence

Marine Corps Intelligence Activity

NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS.
Schiff’s gambit has ensnared Quid Pro Joe, who helped his son make millions in sub rosa deals trading on his father’s
vice-presidency. Joe pops up every now and then to protect his chronically unemployed son soon as the checks clear.

Schiff and short-sighted Democraps lurched into the Ukraine/Biden thingy not stopping to consider
that outside Deep State’s blue enclaves of wanton perversion, voting America sees Hunter Biden......not as an innocent victim....
but as a crack-addicted, widow-diddling sex maniac......a ne’er-do well living large off his White Privilege.

It's obvious to me what's going on here.

From the start, the Democrats have had no basis to take any legal action against President Trump. The whole "Russia collusion" narrative was simply a means to set up a legal investigation within the DOJ that would motivate Trump to take actions that could be fabricated into an "obstruction of justice" charge.

I'm convinced the Democrats were genuinely shocked when we got to the spring of 2019 and Mueller hadn't been fired.

So they've been falling all over themselves trying to concoct various new "investigations" outside the DOJ (because William Barr, for all his flaws, is actually a real Federal prosecutor and not a useless, simpering jackass who has spent his entire career living at the expense of the taxpayers) that will serve the same purpose: to fabricate "obstruction of justice" charges for anything remotely resembling a lack of cooperation from the Trump administration.

It's been a crock of bullsh!t from the start, but the Democrats are in a position where they are forced to keep eating it ... because that's all they've got.

From a personal perspective, I can now say that as a juror I would never convict a defendant on an "obstruction of justice" charge ... because I recognize that it's just a bullsh!t Federal crime that can be made up out of thin air about anything, and seems like something you'd find in a Soviet-style police state. It's now no different than that other ludicrous "honest serves fraud" charge that can be applied to at least a half-dozen things you do in your daily life.

Low BW prevents me from watching videos. Was it really “fiery” or is this just standard Democrat media BS spin?

-- No republic can survive a dishonest media. --

History proves you right.
Rome didn't fall in a day, but it fell. USA will too.

I think the root cause is universal suffrage, but plenty of ways to assign blame. Congres is derelict and over-reaching, Courts are dishonest, people are decadent, invasion of vandals ... plenty to point at. Globalists win this in the end, with all of Satan's tools at their disposal.

Meanwhile, Trump is a fighter, and I'll fight with him.

Fake Impeachment Inquiry, Rigged Process

McCaul Letter Describing Stacked Panel: DEMS allow 1 mute GOP

Hat tip to Andy McCarthy for casual mention that the impeachment "subpoenas" are not enforcible in court.

Fake Subpoena

Pompeo Subpoenaed for Ukraine Documents as House Committees Accelerate Impeachment Inquiry
September 27 "Subpoena" from Engle, Schiff, Cummings

Real Subpoena

August 15 Subpoena from Nadler to Lewandowski
