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?
I was going to say why did we learn about how bad Stalin and Kruschev were and how they could have an opponent grabbed and held in a room for secret KGB questioning without a lawyer and all that. Communism. Now it's Pelosyism and Schiffism.
For this we learned to duck and cover under our school desks in the 1950s?
We have to fight for freedom again.
Great, great post. I wouldn’t change a word.
The fact that people just let this go on and believe the media is disheartening as you say. Secret KGB style testimony withheld from the accused party (Trump).
With leaks to trick him into saying something incriminating or believing an insider has turned on him. Like separating defendants who are each told the other is getting off for turning the first one in.
Correct, sort of.
They know they can’t remove him honestly.
This is to stir shit up and make the claim that “President Trump is simply retaliating *blah, blah blah” once the report finally hits.
At least, that’s my impression. According to possibly a majority of posters here, the Barr/Durham angle is a pointless sideshow to placate the right that will result in nothing anyways.
so the President has No Rights in all of this , what country was this created for ?
My understanding is that it has something to do with Pelosi refusing to call an actual vote to begin the process, which the rules regarding questioning etc. would have to be agreed-upon by both parties. By not doing that Pelosi and the Democrats can basically do what they want by making their own rules.
re: “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.”
And STILL ‘subpoena’ executive branch employees?
As another poster put it, horsesh!t.

Should the Senate vote to convict, that will be the line crossed. For me.
Unfortunately, no one is buying it anymore.
JIM, can liz’s list of media contact information be placed under activism so it can be easily accessible? If I remember correctly we once had such a resource.
is this legal?
“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?”
At what point do we warn ‘our betters’ that this will not stand. Tree of Liberty...
Time for us to hit the local paper editorials to inform the public concerning this Kangaroo Kourt. Time to tweet, and renounce these proceedings on other platforms.
If we won’t do it, who will? This truly is a fight for The Soul of America.

It’s a lynching. Totally unjust. Intentionally unjust.
Amen.
...or
What will they do to us?
They could do that but would have to pretend to really be Antifa, then the doors would be open for them or perhaps they could copy the gang that was banging on the SC doors at the Kavanaugh hearings
In a just political universe, McConnell would phone Schumer and tell him to tell pelosi that if democrats persist in marginalizing Republican participation, the senate would do likewise. None of the evidence gathered would be shared with democrat senators. Without evidence, there will be nothing to do but vote.
