Trump defends blocking witness before 'kangaroo court'
The Hill ^ | 10/08/19 | Morgan Chalfant

Posted on 10/08/2019 7:06:45 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

President Trump on Tuesday defended his administration’s decision to block a key State Department witness from testifying before Congress as part of the House impeachment inquiry, claiming European Union Ambassador Gordon Sondland would have been testifying before a “kangaroo court.”

“I would love to send Ambassador Sondland, a really good man and great American, to testify, but unfortunately he would be testifying before a totally compromised kangaroo court, where Republican’s rights have been taken away, and true facts are not allowed out for the public to see,” Trump wrote in a series of tweets Tuesday morning.

Trump tweeted shortly after news broke that the State Department had instructed Sondland not to appear before three House committees for closed-door testimony on Tuesday.

There is a reason for this and he is setting the stage for his counter offensive.

Big Media must mandate that the lie of “impeachment inquiry” be placed in the first sentence of each article.

(HAT TIP SERKIT) Pray for Pres Trump's safety.These people are sick! Chuck Schumer's comment about the
intelligence community "getting you 6 ways from Sunday" confirms that a constant physical threat is always on
Democraps agenda ......until Americans acquiesce to their unholy quest for total power over us.

Deep State has been going after Trump from before day one......they may have already tried to do a "Dallas" on him.

Remember when JFK purportedly vowed to “splinter the C.I.A. in a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds.”

We know where that got him. (as Chuck Schumer says.....they have “ways”)

Perfect response. A Kangaroo Court is exactly what this is.

Trump has trumped Pelosi’s scheme to circumvent the regular impeachment process.

Pelosi moved the impeachment inquiry to Adam Schiff’s Intelligence Committee so they could conduct NON-PUBLIC hearings of witnesses.

As I understand things Adam Schiff’s Intelligence Committee has no jurisdiction in impeachment proceedings. The Judiciary Committee has that jurisdiction.

Maybe he should just say that until a roll call vote for impeachment is taken with the full House, the White House will not cooperate. Once the vote is taken and the House approves impeachment, the White House will fully cooperate, just as the WH fully cooperated with the Mueller probe.

You are absolutely correct in that.

The upside is that I’m kind of shocked they have not gone there already. It’s an indicator that they know that we are wise to their game, and they fear us.

The Rats seem to be cowarding from it.

Big Media promises us every day they have the votes to do it, while lying BIG to tell us that the “impeachment inquiry” is already underway.

LMFAO... I think Big Media is concerned that their faithful will be confused by a vote to begin an “impeachment inquiry”

You know what is most satisfying about this? Imagine all of this happening 15 years ago, with no Twitter. There'd be no way for President Trump to get his message out to the people directly.

The Left's own high tech infrastructure being weaponized against them, it' brilliant!
