“Democrats said it would not delay their impeachment inquiry.”
Well, when you’re just making stuff up as you go....
The Democrats have already decided what they are going to do. They need no additional information.
Accusations are adequate for them; they are copying Soviet style prosecution methods. They simply make up their own rules; they make up their own evidence. They follow communist methods; "show trials" are really easy to do.
Yes, I am aware of the use of Bills of Attainder to confiscate property. They also were used to assign guiklt without trial, and also to deny a person noble title otherwise due by inheritance.
King Schiff is preparing Bill of Attainder in relation to President Trump, assigning a preordained conclusion of guilt without a trial , or civil right of due process.He has already sttaed that Letters of Impeachment would be issued regardless of what the evidence says.....thats the functuonal equivalent if a Bill of Attainder, whcihc is what such Letters of Impeachment indeed would be.
Bills of Attainder are prohibited by the Constitution, Article 1, Claus 3:
“No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed “
Comment:
The prohibition embodied in this clause is not to be strictly and narrowly construed in the context of traditional forms but is to be interpreted in accordance with the designs of the framers so as to preclude trial by legislature, a violation of the separation of powers concept. 1703 The clause thus prohibits all legislative acts, ‘’no matter what their form, that apply either to named individuals or to easily ascertainable members of a group in such a way as to inflict punishment on them without a judicial trial. . . .’’

King Schiff is preparing a Bill of Attainder, under the color of Letters of Impeachment. Therefore King Schiff will soon find himself in a re-enactment scenario in which he plays the part of King George III. We’ll know of this when King Schiff begins to stutter like King George III did, or when Queen Pelosi blinks like a lizard.
