Representative Adam Schiff's Impeachment Circus continued with his latest act — radical militant leftist law professor Pam Karlan. Not only is Karlan a radical militant leftist law professor, she is a dishonest one. You won't find a single mainstream outlet that is giddy over her shrill testimony touch on her false scholarship. Karlan worked at the Justice Department during the Obama administration. Not much got done on her watch. Where she really excels, however, is lobbing false charges at conservatives or Republicans. When I was an attorney at the Justice Department, I worked on a Voting Rights Act case that...

This hearing is nothing more than a debate about WHAT TRUMP SHOULD BE IMPEACHED FOR.. Verdict FIRST, determination of charge LATER? THIS IS WRONG. THIS IS NOT AMERICA. THIS IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING IN AMERICA. I agree with what some FReepers have said recently about this SHAM: "America is finished".. WHAT WE ARE WITNESSING IS A TRAVESTY and an AFFRONT to our Constitutional norms.. These hearings represent a Banana Republic MASQUERADING as a Constitutional Republic!

Rep. Devin Nunes is the most effective dismantler of all the calculated "narratives" and pre-scripted attacks against President Trump. He's the one who revealed how these things cranked into gear well before Trump was elected and which have now shifted to the Rep. Adam Schiff impeachment bid. If something's going on, Nunes has a way of finding it. If Democrats would like you to think the "whistleblower" report was just some spontaneous effort by some "concerned" public servant instead of a pre-co-ordinated bid to Get Trump, nobody takes these things down like Nunes. So now that Schiff has sent his...

AT&T provided the call records, likely under subpoena. (link) Let’s hope Schiff received them under subpoena, because the alternative is much worse. The alternative is a criminal leak from an outside interest.There’s a particular type of anger that surfaces when you realize the Schiff team who coordinated the origination effort with the CIA whistleblower; and then vehemently hide their coordination; are the same crew simultaneously using the power of their position to subpoena private phone call records from President Trump’s lawyers, members of congress, and journalists.  [See Schiff Report pages 157, 158, 159 – pdf]snipThis crew doesn’t care one...

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff has released 15 transcripts of closed-door testimony in the Democrats' impeachment investigation, but one remains under lock and key. It's the transcript of the more than eight hours of testimony of Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson on Oct. 4, noted investigative reporter Paul Sperry in a tweet.

One day after Republicans issued a 110-page report arguing that President Trump did not commit an impeachable offense, Democrats doubled down Tuesday with a roughly 300-page report claiming that he did. **SNIP** However, unlike previous presidential impeachments, not a single member of the president’s own party has yielded on the matter. It also reflects the sentiment of most Americans who are split along party lines. This alone should give Democrats pause to reconsider the dangerous path they have undertaken. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., presided over five days of impeachment hearings involving a dozen witnesses. Contemporaneous with the...

Will Chamberlain unravels the Democrats’ impeachment report Presumptions. Innuendos. Outright lies. These are the tools used by the House Intelligence Committee during their two weeks of public hearings on the impeachment of President Trump. Chairman Adam Schiff and his cohorts followed up by publishing an egregiously misleading report that mainstream media is trumpeting as the silver bullet. But any American with a brain who actually reads the report will see glaring falsehoods and third-hand assertions proclaimed as “evidence.” In the end, it all amounts to a tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

And it's also obvious that you are abusing your own office to obstruct the president from carrying out his duties, you contemptuous little piece of snit.

he impeachment inquiry into Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States, uncovered a months-long effort by President Trump to use the powers of his office to solicit foreign interference on his behalf in the 2020 election. As described in this executive summary and the report that follows, President Trump’s scheme subverted U.S. foreign policy toward Ukraine and undermined our national security in favor of two politically motivated investigations that would help his presidential reelection campaign.

“This guy is sick,” he said on Tuesday. “If he didn’t do that in the halls of Congress, he’d be thrown in jail.” The remarks come a day before the first formal impeachment hearing in the House Judiciary Committee and as House Intelligence Committee Democrats are poised to vote on and release an impeachment report to send to the Judiciary panel. Democrats have alleged that the phone call between Trump and Zelensky was part of Trump’s effort to get a political investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden in exchange for military aid. Trump has denied that claim. Earlier Tuesday,...

Catherine Herridge .. notes that long after filing whistleblower complaint that failed to disclose prior contacts with the staff of Adam Schiff – probably a matter of lying in a sworn statement, and therefore criminal conduct – the still unnamed (in the MSM but widely believed to be Eric Ciaramella) ... the anonymous whistleblower reached out to the intelligence community watchdog on October 8 to clarify the nature of his or her contact with Democratic majority staff of the House Intelligence Committee before the complaint was filed. The whistleblower acknowledged reaching out to the committee, but claimed that nothing substantial...

RUSH: So quick question here, folks. Weren’t the Democrats wanting to drag this impeachment thing out at first to kind of bleed Trump dry? You know, death by a thousand cuts. Now, all of a sudden, they want to speed this up. Schiff is giving his committee 24 hours or else to vote. Nadler hopes to wrap in two to three days. Why are they hurrying this now, do you think? I leave that as an open question to you. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: As usual, my friends, you know, some of the best questions that I get are the questions...

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff is supposed to provide the witness testimony from his panel's closed door depositions to the Judiciary Committee, as the latter prepares to host their own set of hearings this week into the ongoing impeachment inquiry against President Trump. But, there's one transcript yet to see the light of day - that of Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson. Atkinson, the official who brought the whistleblower complaint about Trump's call with Ukraine to Congress, testified behind closed doors on Oct. 4 for over 8 hours, reportedly claiming the complaint was of "urgent concern." Why is...

There is a scene in the 1993 film “A Bronx Tale” in which a biker gang is carousing in a bar only to be told to leave by the manager for being underdressed. When they protest, a wise guy, Sonny, played by Chaz Palminteri, tells them they can stay for one beer. Instead of drinking that beer the biker thugs shake the bottles up and spray the staff while hurling insults at them. Sonny comes back in and tells them, “That wasn’t very nice. Now youse gotta leave.” When the lead biker rudely dismisses him, Sonny walks to the door,...

House Democrats’ impeachment show moves to Jerry Nadler’s Judiciary Committee this week - but don’t expect the proceedings to get any more serious. Sometime before Nadler starts things off at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Intelligence Committee chief Adam Schiff is supposed to send along his final report - which is apparently to be all the evidence the House will consider on the Ukraine matter, despite the near-complete lack of first-hand testimony. Judiciary is simply going to “consider” whether the wrongdoings that Schiff alleges actually constitute “constitutional grounds for impeachment,” with experts brought in to opine on whether President Trump’s actions warrant...

Must be nice to ‘run’ an investigation in such a way where you can try and remove a sitting president while protecting your own backside. Adam Schiff has definitely been very ‘careful’ about what he does and does not release to the public, and while we all know there has to be some very specific reason why … it’s hard to say for sure. Until now. Paul Sperry sent this tweet about Schiff withholding the transcript of ICIG Michael Atkinson from October 4 behind closed doors which lasted for eight hours. EIGHT HOURS. Gosh, that seems like a rather large...

House Republicans have continually pushed back against Democrats and their impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump's call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. One of the biggest issues the GOP had with this entire saga – besides the fact that the saga is entirely partisan and a witch hunt based on emotions, not fact – is the lack of due process. Democrats started this impeachment process without allowing Republicans to have any say in what was taking place. Republicans couldn't call witnesses or issue subpoenas. The Democrats finally decided to allow Republicans to issue subpoenas and interrogatories, although House Judiciary Committee...

House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) is giving members of his committee just 24 hours to read and sign off on his report recommending articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump. As Breitbart News reported Friday, House Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler has previewed the report, and suggested it will include claims of “collusion” with Russia — as well as Ukraine, Russia’s enemy.And as reported Saturday, Schiff will provide the full report to committee members on Monday, who must sign off on Tuesday in time for the first hearing in Nadler’s committee on Wednesday, which will discuss the...

Members of the House Intelligence Committee will begin reviewing a report Monday on the panel's investigation of President Donald Trump's efforts to press Ukraine to investigate his Democratic adversaries, a crucial step in the House's fast-moving impeachment inquiry. Lawmakers on the panel will get a 24-hour review period, according to internal guidance sent to committee members and obtained by POLITICO. On Tuesday, the panel is expected to approve the findings - likely on a party-line vote - teeing it up for consideration by the Judiciary Committee, which is in turn expected to draft and consider articles of impeachment in the...
