The New York Post released its Wednesday cover late on Tuesday night mocking Democratic House leaders ahead of their public impeachment hearings of President Donald Trump over his July 25 phone call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The cover shows House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff dressed as clowns and features the headline: “GUILTY! NOW FOR THE TRIAL…”
Columnist Michael Goodwin writes that Schiff “takes his magic act public Wednesday as the impeachment hearings burst out of a Capitol Hill dungeon and onto television. Donald Trump’s presidency and the 2020 election likely hang on whether Schiff’s sleight of hand can survive the bright lights of public exposure and cross-examination.”
“Operating in darkness, where he controlled the witness list and leaked snippets of testimony that the Dems’ media echo chamber turned into proof of Trump’s guilt, Schiff has been a first-rate illusionist,” Goodwin continued. Even his exterior calmness is deceptive; he burns with a zeal to kill the king.”
Writing about the CIA whistleblower, Goodwin notes that the Democrats “have relied on members of the resistance embedded in the government to serve as the hanging party. Some wear military uniforms while others are in the CIA and FBI.”
Schiff told NPR during an interview on Monday that he believes that Trump has committed bribery and other impeachable offenses.
“Bribery, first of all, as the founders understood bribery, it was not as we understand it in law today. It was much broader,” Schiff said. “It connoted the breach of the public trust in a way where you’re offering official acts for some personal or political reason, not in the nation’s interest.”
“The basic allegations against the president are that he sought foreign interference in a U.S. election, that he conditioned official acts on the performance of these political favors,” Schiff continued. “And those official acts include a White House meeting that the president of Ukraine desperately sought with President Trump, as well as hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer-funded military assistance for a country that is at war with Russia and a country that the United States has a deep national security interest in making sure it can defend itself.”
Schiff also told NPR that he is not concerned if the Democrats bring articles of impeachment against Trump and then the Senate does not remove him from office.
“Impeachment is not only a remedy to remove a president. It’s also the most powerful sanction the House has. And if that deters further presidential misconduct, then it may provide some remedy even in the absence of a conviction in the Senate,” Schiff said. “But again, I have to hope that my Senate colleagues on both sides of the aisle will keep an open mind, will do their constitutional duty, will set aside the party of the president. Because otherwise, why are they even there and what does their oath of office really mean?”
Democrats’ impeachment hearings – which drew no bipartisan support from Republicans and even saw a couple of Democrats join the Republicans – are slated to kick off Wednesday at 10 a.m.
Democrats believe in guilt until proven innocent (which is not possible if you disagree with Democrats)
The rehearsal is over, time to take the show on the road...
I’ve been wondering when some folks are going to be tried for blatant attempts at sedition.
The DOJ is going to investigate and refer and study until the clock runs out and what they do no longer matters and they can just move on to looking for supposed White militants and Patriots who might threaten the Deep State. For example, what happened to the McCabe referral?
Schiff’s definition of bribery includes the following type of conduct - for example, suppose you walk into Starbucks and say to the cashier “I have five dollars and I would like a latte. But if you don’t give me that latte I’m not giving you the five dollars!”. To Schiff that is bribery and extortion.
Ut, oh.......a stunning admission. Looks like Schiff just blinked.
Rumor has it that the only time Schiff gets any crotch action is when he sees a TV camera.
Who knew
No obsolete, living documents filled with numbras and penumbras for him - gotta go back to the source and look at those Federalist Papers
And then solemnly pray with like minded, pious leaders Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer and Gerry Nadler in a hope for wisdom, divine guidance and inspiration.
Then lets go out and kick this show trial in gear to ram the F’n pack of lies and false l, made up charges down the throats of the American people and stick it yo that MoFo Donald Trump
You just cant make this shit up
“Guilty, now for the trial”
Exactly
Consistent with Pelosi’s, M O ...’let’s pass it first, so we can see what’s in it’
Why the hearing? We all know how this is going. House Impeaches. Senate acquits.
Next
In a nut shell, thanks post
Democrats believe that all straight white men are guilty of crimes against humanity.
All the rest is boring details.
Who is that drinking water? remember when they were all obsessing over Trump drinking water?
The guardian: Trump has awkward water moment.
IBTimes UK: Trump drinks water with two hands like a child.
nyt: Trump drinks water. Twitter erupts.
This obsession is a sign of a deep emotional disturbance.
“Rumor has it that the only time Schiff gets any crotch action is when he sees a TV camera.”
I don’t know about that... not sure how many 9-year-old boys watch the TV news...
Schiff, Nadler, Pelosi , and the Entire FAKE NEWS MEDIA have Already CONVICTED JOE and HUNTER BIDEN by their Public Statements, and He CONFESSED ON TAPE!!!
WHY ISN’T HE IN JAIL???
Oh yeah I’d agree with that.
