I have been advocating for trials of the perps of all of this.
Schiff acts like he’s a judge running a Grand Jury......but there’s a monumental distinction:....
a grand jury is a criminal proceeding. Impeachment is a political process in which
the House gathers evidence to define the meaning of “high crimes and misdemeanors.”
Schiff wants it both ways:
<><> Run secret committees hearings like a criminal Grand Jury......
<><> then impeach Mr. Trump of political offenses even if the President committed no crime.
IOW, he’s already made up his mind....Trump is guilty of something........so let’s nail him.
Schiff was challenged on his committee’s unheard of secrecy and his response on Sunday talk TV was frightening:
“we want to make sure that we meet the needs of the investigation (and the hell with Pres Trump’s Constitutional right to be heard).
