Republicans have allegedly been barred from even viewing transcripts taken during impeachment hearings. This includes the transcripts of Executive Branch employees who, it has been reported, have provided largely exculpatory testimony.
Testimony, that because of Pelosi’s rules, we’ll never see. Neither will House Republicans or President Trump’s attorneys.
Schiff/Pelosi-led Democrats will craft the narrative and the limited ‘factual’ evidence that becomes public in a carefully managed scheme to shape public opinion.
Does this sound familiar? It should:
“The truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the state.”
This is the latest attempt to silence the defense of President Trump while Democrats rely on the echo chamber of their media allies to present cherry-picked passages to move public opinion to support their illicit scam.
Here’s one example of how the narrative is being crafted and supported by the equally corrupt mainstream media:
Swamp guardian Chris Wallace presented this limited text message exchange as evidence of a quid pro quo:
Here’s what wasn’t shown and that Pelosi ignored in cherry-picked fact sheet she released yesterday:
Pelosi’s rules prevent Republicans from asking questions that may have inconvenient answers during the hearings lest the media have something positive to report in the president’s defense.
Republicans are not permitted to call defense witnesses of their own.
Democrats are so paranoid about keeping a lid on the proceedings that at least some of the hearings are said to have been conducted in a SCIF that has been, up until now, reserved for holding top secret discussions or for reviewing highly-classified evidence.
This ain’t that.
Americans who are watching these latter-day Democrats should ask themselves if they can do this to a president, what chance they would have against these authoritarians?
Pardon my French, but this is horseshit.
Yep Nancy and Schiff For Brains are 2 of the people Barr is investigating ,when will they ask to make a deal
They come out of their secret meetings and announce before their mediots that the testimony is ‘devastating’ and a ‘sea change’ but not letting anybody see any of it. the Republicans are not allowed into the meetings...............
Pelosi’s son is involved as well...................
The Wizard of Oz was not meant to be a training manual!
Are ALL the Republicans in DC part of the coup? There’s no way this shouldn’t have been with a judge by now. There’s nothing Constitutional about this witch hunt.
I don’t understand how that is allowed.
and Romneys
Why are they letting her get away with it.............SHOUT IT out 24/7 Take legal action. Call an officer to let them in...Do something GOP
By not actually having a vote on impeachment, they can do whatever they wish.
That’s why there never was a vote......................
All of this relies on the norms of a civilized institution. What would happen if the Republicans started to act more like Antifa? How about a group of Republicans breaking into the closed hearing room, or during a so-called deposition? Storm into Schiff’s and Pelosi’s office, cause general disorder and state that the House has lost all legitimacy and all business must be stopped.
The country is a hzi trigger away from going in there guns a blazing. Its thr only thing these creatures will understand, and believe me, flyover country is pissed!!!8

They can’t. House rules.
As long as it’s not and ‘official’ impeachment inquiry, and it isn’t, they just say it is, they can exclude Republicans as long as they want.
It’s a charade and a scam.................
I don’t understand how that is allowed.
It appears Nancy thinks she can just make everything up as she goes along
Matt Gaetz tried, he was physically removed..............
They don’t care. I think Republicans like being in the majority so they can send out fundraising letters telling people how scary the Democrats are and how much we “need” Republicans in office to make things right. The problem is they don’t want to do any of the things they promise.
