The Impeachment Hearings Have Been Useless
National Review / Yahoo News ^ | November 21, 2019, 9:47 PM UTC | David Harsanyi

Democrats on the Intelligence Committee have spent the vast majority of their impeachment hearings trying to persuade voters that bureaucrats believe Donald Trump is impulsive, self-serving, and misguided — all of which is unsurprising, and completely irrelevant to the matter at hand.

Quite often, in fact, the most breathless coverage of these tedious hearings has absolutely nothing to do with the allegedly impeachable offenses of quid pro quo or “bribery” — or whatever focus group-tested terminology Democrats are deploying today. Take the newest blockbuster witness, Fiona Hill, a Russia expert whose testimony nearly every outlet promised would be “explosive.” She “lashes Rs for siding w Russian theory instead of us on 2016,” Politico’s Jake Sherman informs us.

BINGO. Well, some of these journalists are preparing the public.

The leftoid “journalists” cannot back down, nor can their spoogemonkey pollsters. They will still be running “muh Russia” through the 2020 shellacking Trump will give them.

The only issue here is if, and how far, Barr/Durham will actually go toward making sure nothing like this ever happens again, and how far this stink of corruption will settle on the DemoKKKrat House candidates.

I can only hope they realize the gravity of getting to the bottom of this illegal coup.

Exactly, Rock! And the polls are swinging massively toward the President, especially among Independents.

The d-Rats shot themselves in the foot once again.

Now Linda in the Senate has announced his own hearings on Slow-creepy-ole Joe and his wealth-generator, er, I mean son.

Pretty sure the House needs only a majority and the Dems already have that.

Saw Fiona Hill, nice accent, smart moron. Lot’s of countries try to effect our election (and our country tries to influence theirs if it is so morally repugnunt...we have been doing it decades or centuries). China being the most active. Since none of the experts have mentioned the primary actor...and concentrated on theory that is dubious at best...Ukraine did a little, and then had a change of leadership. If they did not know of the involvement of our own connected politicians they were lying or we need a huge clean up in the agencies...oh if they were lying we need a huge clean up in the agencies.

"The hearings aren’t useless."

Especially to the Russians, if as Hill testified their, real objective was to sow discord & mistrust of the system.

It has been successful beyond their wildest dreams.

It also exposed the Left-leaning bureaucracy as snowflakes who demand recognition and respect or will become offended and throw temper tantrums and complain to HR that their sensitivities have been attacked.

So, my request, if anyone cares to respond: please give me a very short, very clear, completely true summary of this current hearing against President Trump...something like “Impeachment for Dummies” in 5 quick facts.
