Rep. Elise Stefanik was informed this week by Republican House Intelligence Committee staffers of a new diktat from Chairman Adam Schiff. It made the New York Republican’s jaw drop.
Democrats had informed Republicans that, from here on out, the committee would produce a single, printed transcript of every interview it conducted as part of its impeachment inquiry. Only members of the three committees involved in the purported inquiry would be allowed to view that printout, and only in the presence of a Democratic staffer. Ms. Stefanik—an elected member of Congress who sits on the Intelligence Committee—will be babysat while reading by an unelected employee of the Democrats.
“It’s outrageous, and it’s an abuse of power,” Ms. Stefanik said in an interview. “Every constituent across this country deserves to have their members have access to all the facts.”
Welcome to impeachment, Schiff-style. Democrats keep their witnesses locked behind secure doors, then flood the press with carefully sculpted leaks and accusations, driving the Trump-corruption narrative. And so the party goes, galloping toward an impeachment vote that would overturn the will of the American voters—on a case built in secret.
Conservative commentators keep noting that Mrs. Pelosi’s refusal to hold a vote on the House floor to authorize an official impeachment inquiry helps her caucus’s vulnerable members evade accountability. But there’s a more practical and uglier reason for Democrats to skip the formalities. Normally an authorization vote would be followed by official rules on how the inquiry would proceed. Under today’s process, Mr. Schiff gets to make up the rules as he goes along. Behold the Lord High Impeacher.
Democrats view control over the narrative as essential, having learned from their Russia-collusion escapade the perils of transparency. They banked on special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation proving impeachment fodder, but got truth-bombed.

Since there likely won’t be any impeachment, he is just succeeding in sucking every whisp of air out of the Democrat campaign for next year’s run for the White House.
Sets precedent for any and all who dare to challenge hierarchy. This isn’t just about Trump. You know who is the tyrant by whom you cannot criticize
Cue “Tomorrow Belongs to Me”
If Schiff thinks he is going to go into the dark and play with his genitals and come out of there with the product of one of his wet dreams and that is going to amount to anything he is dangerously delusional.
If Republicans allow this farce to continue, impeachment will become an everyday occurrence.
Lindsey graham writes a letter, yertle is in his shell and wont come out and the rats do what ever the hell they want. Im sick of this crap! These guys are on the side lines spinning the plates watching the clock run out. These guys are insiders playing the game with the rats
As I see it, they can’t even vote now because the entire House only has what they are being fed by Schitt and Co..
The House has voted three times on various measures to start impeachment hearings. Each time the vote was NO. I wish the TV talking heads would pound that point.
House Republicans are wimps. They could file charges against Pelosi and Schiff in the Judicial. They are the aggrieved party and can demand relief.
Is there a deeper game afoot here? We continue to hope so but see little evidence of a Master Plan by a Master Tacticians in the Congress or the Executive, not to mention the Legislative, that will save the republic from the infidels.
It feels like we are being played from both sides. Hope and Fear rise and fall with each passing day. What is really happening?
They are ‘acting out’ their fantasy and the MSM is pimping them on a daily (hourly) basis. It's laughable.
I don't know how grown adults can continue such gratuitous, pathologically subjective tantrums-like children- without public censure from the Republican Congress. The MSM has an excuse for their complicity... THEY'RE whores. How do Republicans in Congress explain their inertia?
Can an ordinary citizen sue a political party for damages?
No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the Lord.
