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

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:

A 1999 treaty with Ukraine, signed by Bill Clinton, provides a rock-solid basis for President Trump’s request for Ukrainian President Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden for alleged corruption.

The Bidens are in up to their armpits with regard to a potential renewed Burisma Holdings natural gas probe… an overdue investigation that was in fact initially stopped by VP Biden while he was in office… a fact that he subsequently bragged about.

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

The only thing preventing the Dems, a majority in the House, from impeaching President Trump is Dem reps in purple states who may lose their seat by doing so (the will of the people). It would be a farce, but it could certainly happen. The nation wouldn't be doomed at all. It might just backfire get out the Republican vote.

But there are many forces that will prevent President Trump from being removed from office. The Senate would need a 66% majority to vote him out. Not a prayer, if he didn't actually do anything wrong (and I think it's clear he hasn't).

So what. The Uniparty will just impeach our candidates and votes again if they don’t like the result.

Shiftforbrains is doing what Hitlery tried to do to Nixon. Her communist ways are why she was fired from the Nixon prosecution team. She tried to lie, withhold evidence, and recommended Nixon not get legal representation.

Yeah, I was going to use Andrey Vyshinsky, but he looked more like Harry Reid or Mitch McConnell

Sure they could. How many GOP Senators want Trump gone anyway? How many have done things so embarrassing or criminal they would change their vote to keep the Deep State from releasing their intelligence files. How much money would it take to change votes? It is plausible that the Senate vote can be corruptly assembled to convict Trump.

You’re right. She wanted him sent directly to prison. She made a comment that he could only take a toothbrush.

I agree with you that many of our politicians are in it for the money. And where does most of our under-the-table money come from these days?

I'd guess from a number of sources. Lobbyists. Foreign aid kickbacks (a la Ukraine, and maybe Iran). Flat out bribes (Mexican cartels?). Disguised or delayed bribes--book sales, book deals, TV deals (looking at you Barack), foundations, employment of family (Hunter!).

A true accounting by magnitude and component would tell a lot. But it would be difficult, not to mention dangerous, to do.

I don’t think it’s likely at all.

But if that does happen, then we’d really be in new territory, and I would fear for our future (and act).

One day, sooner or later, that traitor Schiff is going to find his way to the noose.
