Ted Cruz Sums up the House Impeachment Scam

DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon

[EyesOfTX]

If you don’t think there was very good reason to investigate Joe and Hunter Biden’s influence game vis a vis Ukraine, then you, friend, are a liberal hack. – That’s the one and only conclusion any reasonable person can reach after Pam Bondi’s tour de force on the Senate floor Monday, where she literally evicerated the father/son gang of thugs.

Bondi, a former Attorney General of Florida who is a key part of the Trump defense team, not only exposed the Bidens’ racketeering in Ukraine, but also in China and Iraq, two other countries where Quid Pro Joe served as Obama’s “point man” on foreign policy. During the course of her expose’, Bondi not only exposed the Bidens, she also exposed the House Managers as dishonest hacks, and exposed the news media for the manner in which it actually made token efforts to expose the Biden corruption, but then turned on a dime to defend Quid Pro Joe once he declared himself a candidate for the presidency.

This exposure naturally threw the Capital press corps into a rage, and Texas Senator Ted Cruz became a target of their ire when he held a brief presser after Bondi had finished. Watch as Cruz exposes the Democrat/media hacks for what they are in this clip, which is followed by a transcript.

Here’s the Clip:

Comfortably Smug @ComfortablySmug Ted Cruz just went beastmode shredding Hunter Biden and Joe and the journos went bonkers!!! LMAOOOOO

Embedded video 19.4K 5:27 PM - Jan 27, 2020 Twitter Ads info and privacy 7,897 people are talking about this

Here’s the transcript for those of you who still like to read stuff:

Cruz: This was the first time in the entire proceeding we have heard just the beginning of the serious evidence of corruption involving Burisma, the Ukrainian natural gas company that paid Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s son, a million dollars a year…[reporter interrupts]… let me finish, I’ll answer the question…[another interruption] … let me answer the question without interrupting me please.

Burisma paid Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s son, a million dollars a year while Hunter [Joe] Biden threatened Ukraine to withhold a billion dollars in aid unless and until they filed the prosecutor investigating his son.

Reporter: When did Hunter Biden threaten anyone, sir?

Cruz: Joe Biden. Joe Biden, the Vice President of the United States, and we just saw a video, and I would encourage each and every news outlet here to actually show the video of Joe Biden bragging how he told the President of the Ukraine he was gonna cut off a billion dollars…he was gonna block a billion dollars in foreign aid to Ukraine unless they fired the prosecutor.

And Joe Biden, in his own words, ‘son of a bitch, the fired the guy.’

Reporter: So, why not have Bolton testify? [lots of belligerent crosstalk here from reporters]

Cruz: So, I get that the press loves to obsess over the latest bombshell. Listen, I don’t know what John Bolton’s book says or doesn’t say. I’ve seen the New York Times coverage, but at the end of the day, it doesn’t impact the legal issue before this senate.

The legal issue before this senate is whether the President has the authority to investigate corruption. The House Managers built their entire case [reporter tries to interrupt] on the proposition that investigating Burisma corruption, investigating the Bidens for corruption, was baseless and a sham. [more reporter interruptions]

Hold on, let me finish this…[more interruptions – note how desperate the media hacks are to prevent him from getting this point made] no, I’m gonna finish my point and then I’ll be happy to answer your question. The House Managers based their entire case on the proposition that investigating Burisma – and concerning the Bidens – was baseless and a sham.

That proposition is absurd. We’ve just seen…they said there wasn’t a shred of evidence concerning corruption. We’ve just seen two hours of evidence. And at a minimum, it was not only reasonable and justified, but the President, I think, had an obligation to investigate corrupt that potentially extended to the very highest levels of government.

Reporter: Senator, in that two hours, none of the President’s attorneys mentioned a single possible crime that Hunter or Joe Biden are accused of. [Cruz laughs out loud at this] What this basically is, is Hunter Biden got a job, and his father was Vice President. If that’s a crime, shouldn’t half of your children be in jail?

Cruz: [Laughing in the idiot’s face] My children are 9 and 11, and I’m sorry that you want to throw a 9 year-old in prison, but at this point, my third-grader plays basketball and softball at her school, so stop playing the nasty [reporter interrupts] no, stop playing the nasty Washington game [reporter interrupts again] attacking a 9 year-old? [lost of crosstalk here]

Reporter: Senator, we have seen reports of a possible one for one trade on witnesses. Would you be open to that idea?

Cruz: In my view, additional witnesses are not necessary. The House Managers have presented their case, and they haven’t come remotely close to meeting their burden of proof. Now, that being said, if the senate later this week when we vote on witnesses decides to go down the road to additional witnesses, I think at a minimum, the most important witness for the senate to hear from is now Hunter Biden. [reporter interrupts] Let another reporter have a chance [talking to the previous idiot]

Reporter: Why don’t you want to hear from John Bolton under oath?

Cruz: I don’t believe the testimony is necessary. The House Managers have a burden of proof. A burden of proof to prove their case. They have fallen woefully short. The standard under the constitution is high crimes and misdemeanors. They have not demonstrated any law was violated, and the President was entirely justified in asking for an investigation concerning corruption in the Ukraine and potentially Hunter Biden and Joe Biden.

At the end of the day, there might have been [lots of crosstalk here before the next idiot reporter asks the idiot reporter question of all time]

Reporter: What about the shadow over the presidency? If you don’t have witness testimony in this trial…

Cruz: [laughing out loud at the idiot hack again] Look, the “shadow over the presidency” is the last several months of sham proceedings in the House, where they only heard from prosecution witnesses, and they ignored the very substantial evidence of corruption with the Vice President, going potentially to the very top of the [Obama] Administration.

And let me – by the way, the Obama Administration pointed out the conflict of interest over and over and over again, and so did the press, until the press decided to defend the House Democrats’ partisan impeachment attack. This has been a sham from the beginning. Presidents have the authority to investigate corruption, and it was overwhelming.

[End]

Thank you, Senator Cruz, for summing it all up so succinctly and clearly. No wonder the media hates you so damn much.

That is all.

I watched the Cruz interview. A reporter kept cutting him off and said there was no proof offered by Pam that the Bidens did anything wrong.

But that is not the point. Her point was that Trump was simply the last in a long line of people, including the Obama administration as well as the liberal MSM that were pointing out that this stunk to high heaven and needed to be investigated.

But when Trump did it, they tried to use it to impeach him.

It’s laughable. And this thing is not going away. When this thing is over, Biden is toast. Trump will publicly call for an investigation and hammer home the reasons and justification.

Looks like this one will be a repeat of 2016 - Sanders vs Hillary. :D

[Thank You Rush]

I thought Pam Bondi’s presentation was the best of all - gave everyone something to sink their teeth into. Great job.

[struggle]

It would be hilarious if the only witnesses turned out to be Joe/Hunter Biden, Sean Misko, Eric Ciaramella, and Adam Schiff.

Four Democrats get stuck in the impeachment process (3 senators) for weeks just before Super Tuesday.

[Thank You Rush]

Who was that idiot reporter?

[DrewsMum]

The look on Cruz’s face when the reporter kept saying about the Bidens, “....but what CRIME did they commit. No CRIMES have been alleged!”
Cruz looked at him like monkeys just flew put of hind end.

The lack of self awareness in the media is ASTONISHING.

[dontreadthis]

Is it true that if 51 votes are needed to approve the calling of any witnesses, then the calling of each specific witness requires 51 votes individually?

[cuban leaf]

On my wife’s Facebook feed, some of her friends were saying they had to turn Bondi’s presentation off because they couldn’t stand all the lies. ;)

My wife never talks politics on Facebook. That’s why she has friends with this sort of opinion. Arrogant ignorance.

[Liz]

....one reporter kept saying “....but what CRIMES did the Bidens commit? No CRIMES have been alleged!”...

Oh, please......if we had any decent journos out there, they'd find plenty of "alleged crimes by the tax-sucking Bidens."

================================================

To me, this pic is the epitome of Joe Biden's corruption. Shows exactly what he thinks of taxpaying Americans.
We exist only to serve him and his greedy family's endless get-rich-quick schemes.

REALITY CHECK: On an official tax-paid govt trip to China, then-VP Biden brought along Hunter and daughter Finnegan ----
for a family outing paid for by taxpayers. Lookit her---the moronic grand-daughter waves at Chinese dignitaries
like it was old home week, like she's a frickin' diplomat. The ninny thinks she's part of the official delegation representing the US

Hunter cashed in bigtime, even had a Chinese suckup hand-deliver a diamond to his hotel room.....
......just to make sure corrupt Hunter "was bought good."

The corrupt trio did all the touristy things available in China.......sucking off the backs of US taxpayers 24/7.

just because they don’t believe it doesn’t mean it’s a lie ...

Here's the media at the slightest suggestion that a Democrat is corrupt:

The lack of self awareness in the media is ASTONISHING.

...

They are corrupt and criminal Democrats. I believe they are fully aware of what they are doing.

Exactly my point. I left my last church because I directed the church’s second-in-command to a facebook page, “Rethinking hell”, where a lot of us CI people debate eternity as described in the bible and I thought he could join the discussion along with other advocates of ECT, of which he was one. He made a couple of poorly thought out arguments and when his arguments were politely, but clearly, shut down, his response was to simply say, “All I see here is lies.”.

It was pathetic. He was removed from the site after only two posts because he was not willing to have a serious discussion.

“All I see is lies” is not an argument. It is an excuse for covering your eyes and sticking your fingers in your ears. You have no place in an adult discussion.

OTOH, if what you are seeing is lies, and you can make your case, lie by lie, that they are lies, that is completely different. That is what discussion is about.

I just unfriend them. They don’t want truth or information. Just Freebies and Lies.

BTW, CI = Conditional immortality - the belief that the lost are simply destroyed at the second death

ECT = Eternal, Conscious Torment - the belief that the lost are tormented forever, consciously, never to die.

[struggle]

I’m sure motions allow the witnesses to be called in individuals or in groups.

The issue is that they all get deposed first. If Bolton doesn’t produce during the deposition, the Dems are suddenly going to change tack.

I haven’t done facebook for over a year now. However, I may get back on as I’ve reached retirement age and have zero to fear.

But I was very political and a lot of folks unfriended me over time, often preceding it with a profanity laced tirade against me. It’s because I used to be friends with a lot of leftist musicians when I lived in Seattle.

My wife just ignores their politics, partly because they are her friends in our local community. And she wants to keep them.

Also, our son’s significant other is VERY liberal, and we don’t want to get into politics with him. Yeah. I said “him”. We recently discovered her son she gave up for adoption in 1970. It was an amazing reunion. However, he is homosexual and they are a textbook Seattle homosexual couple. They live in capital hill and are leftists. At least his partner is VERY leftist. He’s a little more agnostic, politically. My wife does not want to damage that relationship.

[unixfox]

The lack of self awareness in the media is ASTONISHING.

They absolutely know that Biden is guilty of a crime. When they ask the question "Is it a CRIME?" it's only for the camera. They are disingenuous, PERIOD.

[ballplayer]

Problem is,McConnell won’t allow more than 1 witness,he said yesterday he is not for witness reciprocity,so the sage of the Senate is letting the house managers ruin his precious Senate

[ThisLittleLightofMine]

Is this group still going? I enjoy learning opposing points of view
