Rep. Scalise: "What Is Adam Schiff Trying To Hide" With Secret Hearings?
Real Clear Politics ^ | Oct 14 2019 | Ian Schwartz

Posted on 10/15/2019 2:47:13 PM PDT by rintintin

House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) said House Intel Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) wants to impeach President Donald Trump behind closed doors in an interview Monday with FOX Business Network's Maria Bartiromo on 'Mornings With Maria.'

"Well, this is part of Adam Schiff's -- it's like a kangaroo court he set up, but they've got this shroud of secrecy, where they want to drip out things that they want to allude to, they make false accusations to try to," Scalise said. "And so, why Adam Schiff continues to hide in secret the Volker testimony, he was already starting to leak out some things that were false about it, and everybody else that listened -- or was participating in the Volker testimony said that Schiff was being disinformative."

Pelosi: “We have to impeach him to see what the charges are.”

Us: Nope.

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).

Good one.

Also, if the Ukraine call happened in July 2019 what were Schiff and Nadler starting the impeachment about back months and months before then?

Maybe.... "We feel Trump is about to do something so we want to start prosecuting him in advance to save time later."

Schiff could say: We don’t know what is in the hearings till we hear them. We don’t know how to frame the PR campaign until we evaluate the vulnerabilities of each potential jab.

I don’t know what he’s hiding Steve. Why don’t you get those GOP slugs in the Senate to find out?

He’s not trying to hide anything at all. He’s showing us this is how it is done now. Star Chamber rules.

The Party of Hate, Violence, and Evil--the Democrat Party--would love to have secret trials regularly and would love to have a secret police.

Steve should get behind close doors without Pelosis permission and off the Hill with only RNC members to discuss what they plan on doing with Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler & Waters after 2020, including prepping for major corruption investigations. Hell they aren’t getting anything done anyways. Play their game and watch the libs heads explode.

That’s like asking “why does little Jimmy close the garage door when he tortures animals?”
