Schiff Goes Full Stalin
American Thinker.com ^ | November 9, 2019 | Daniel John Sobieski

Posted on 11/09/2019 6:33:33 AM PST by Kaslin

As Rep. Adam Schiff’s “sentence first, trial later” show trial of President Donald J. Trump reaches a so-called public hearing phase, we find the weaver of fables dictating what witnesses the GOP will be permitted to call based on a set of three qualifying question they must answer in advance. These questions ask, essentially, if the witnesses believe President Trump is guilty of pressuring Ukraine to dig up dirt on the Bidens in exchange for military aid. The GOP, it seems, will not be allowed to call witnesses who have testimony or evidence to the contrary, that there was no pressure and no quid pro quo. Nor will the GOP be allowed to present witnesses or evidence that confirms that the “dirt” is accurate, that the crime of threatening to withhold aid for a personal and political favor, a crime Biden has already confessed to, was committed by Biden, not Trump, on behalf of Biden’s son Hunter. Nor will the GOP be allowed to make the case that any Trump inquiry of the Ukrainians was mandated by a treaty signed by President Bill Clinton. This is, dare I use the term Democrats used during the impeachment of Bill Clinton for a real crime, a phrase used by Joe Biden himself, a political lynching. As reported by the New York Post:

What the pubs should be campaigning with is the thought that, if they can pull this on someone as important as the president of the USA, they won’t have a problem bulldozing little people like every-day Americans.
However, quite a few of the pubs in congress are in on the scam and would like to see Trump out of the way, too.

I have a low opinion of most politicians. I think most of them are in it mostly for money and ego; almost all Dems, and maybe half (it could be from 1/3 to 2/3) of Republicans.

Consequently, I view the choice of party for an aspiring politician as one of convenience. In other words, given my contacts and the local voting demograhics, which Party provides the best chances for election and advancement?

To all legislators of principle, I apologize. But, it isn't most of 'em, on either side of the aisle.

Schiff must have been trained under the British legal system. He is doing “bills of attainder”. This is not an impeachment. The Democrats are trying to impose a “no confidence” vote with their majority in the House.

He even resembles Roland Freisler, the show trial judge

Call the witnesses and have them heard on the Capitol steps.

I would expect nothing less from the communists, especially bug eyes.

Re-reading Robert Conquest’s revised “Red Terror”, post USSR collapse with Some Venona material.

Swear it reads as though the Dems are using it was a procedural manual: false allegations, mass publication, endless interviews, false allegations of working with foreign governments, treason charges, “investigations” dragging on, manufactured false witness testimony,witnesses, revised testimony, etc, the whole gallon of borscht.

Except in Stalin’s case it was to remove all, ALL, original party members to secure dictator status, opposition had been effectively eliminated in the civil war.

There are whole paragraphs which read like todays news with only name changes.

We ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

If they get away with this coup, there will be a next time, and next time will seem like child’s play. Next time they’ll all go full Stalin/Hitler on our asses.

The Demon judge in the top picture was killed in an American air raid on Berlin.

Sen. Rand Paul: "You've heard of the Constitution, right? The Constitution has the Sixth Amendment."

Paul went on to explain that the Sixth Amendment included the right of the accused to confront any accusers, suggesting that allowing the whistleblower to remain anonymous would then be a de facto denial of Trump’s Sixth Amendment rights.

Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham also argued that the whistleblower was not guaranteed anonymity, telling reporters, “The whistleblower statute was never meant to give you anonymity. It was meant to allow you to come forward without being fired.”

Read the entire article at The Daily Caller: https://docs.google.com/document/d/10d52uEgxg165jHE0KBwLsRJg9jn5Icdj4d078u2S1eA/edit

Sixth Amendment:

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.

Freisler was Hitler’s hanging judge, not Stalin’s. Otherwise, good catch.

“Schifftenfreuden,”

Means going bat shit totalitarian, while pretending business as usual.

Schifftenfreuden, if not abandoned, will eventually get such a person killed in America. It is a terminal affliction in the land of the free.

If this Republic sits by and lets a sitting President be impeached by an anonymous “whistle blower”. it is doomed.

This impeachment is insanely stupid and it is going to backfire on the Dems worse than they can imagine

The Alinskyites have forgotten the cardinal rule- “your opponent, suitably goaded and directed in his response, will be you greatest asset.”

Trump is better at this than they are and he is turning their assets into their worst liabilities.

And he holds all the cards

Dear Republicans on the committee:

1. Only call witnesses that you know the Dems won’t allow you to call.

2. Interrogate the hell out of the witnesses they call.

EXPOSE THIS SHAM FOR WHAT IT IS!
