Democrats used a deceptively edited video of President Donald Trump in Wednesday’s first House Judiciary Committee hearing on impeachment, using “experts” in constitutional law to claim, falsely, that he believes he has absolute power.
As Breitbart News White House Correspondent Charlie Spiering pointed out Friday, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) misquoted Trump when she made the case for articles of impeachment on Thursday morning.

Yup....I am with Post #1.
Solid opinion based upon inarguable facts.
Obama said he had a pen and a phone and would bend over for Russia after he was re-elected.
As a professor he said that he did not like the Constitution as a limit on the powers of government.
So much phony outrage
Stalinists lie. Always
Feldman has been a proponent of Sharia law.
This should be posted on every impeachment thread since they are using him to do it
Noah Feldman:
“..the outrage about according a degree of official status to Shariah in a Western country should come as no surprise. No legal system has ever had worse press. To many, the word “Shariah” conjures horrors of hands cut off, adulterers stoned and women oppressed. By contrast, who today remembers that the much-loved English common law called for execution as punishment for hundreds of crimes, including theft of any object worth five shillings or more? How many know that until the 18th century, the laws of most European countries authorized torture as an official component of the criminal-justice system? As for sexism, the common law long denied married women any property rights or indeed legal personality apart from their husbands. When the British applied their law to Muslims in place of Shariah, as they did in some colonies, the result was to strip married women of the property that Islamic law had always granted them — hardly progress toward equality of the sexes.
In fact, for most of its history, Islamic law offered the most liberal and humane legal principles available anywhere in the world. Today, when we invoke the harsh punishments prescribed by Shariah for a handful of offenses, we rarely acknowledge the high standards of proof necessary for their implementation. Before an adultery conviction can typically be obtained, for example, the accused must confess four times or four adult male witnesses of good character must testify that they directly observed the sex act. The extremes of our own legal system — like life sentences for relatively minor drug crimes, in some cases — are routinely ignored. We neglect to mention the recent vintage of our tentative improvements in family law. It sometimes seems as if we need Shariah as Westerners have long needed Islam: as a canvas on which to project our ideas of the horrible, and as a foil to make us look good.
In the Muslim world, on the other hand, the reputation of Shariah has undergone an extraordinary revival in recent years. A century ago, forward-looking Muslims thought of Shariah as outdated, in need of reform or maybe abandonment. Today, 66 percent of Egyptians, 60 percent of Pakistanis and 54 percent of Jordanians say that Shariah should be the only source of legislation in their countries.”
Sharia is ‘humane slavery’
FULL QUOTE:
“Look, Article II, I would be allowed to fire Robert Mueller. Assuming I did all of the things, I said I want to fire him. Number one, I didn’t. He wasn’t fired. Number one, very importantly but more importantly, Article II allows me to do whatever I want. Article II would allow me to fire him. I wasn’t going to fire him. You know why — because I watched Richard Nixon firing everybody and that didn’t work out too well.”
If it weren’t for dirty tricks the Democrats wouldn’t have any tricks at all.
We really need the Original 13th Amendment!
Everyone who’s fingerprints are on that one ought to be in slam
There should be some kind of charges brought.
Lying,cheating and stealing are the main tools of the fascist democrat party. They are corrupt to their core. These are people who got filthy rich from the government. They attack the president for his wealth but at least he earned his money in the private sector. The democrats made their money from dirty deals and pilfering tax dollars by forcing foreign governments to kickback millions of dollars in foreign aid back to the democrats. They use family members or some proxy to get their filthy hands on the money.
Just another frustrating fact where no one will be punished for it.
W T F EVER
Not sure what Breitbart's goal in writing this is. Yes, they are deceptive. No, no one is going to do a damn thing about it, so nothing changes. Who is John Galt?
Another little game they play with Trump’s intended joke about instructing Russia to hack some of Hillary’s emails so we can find out what she and the DNC are hiding. It was a joke, however they think he was serious. I heard the entire exchange and he was definitely joking. These imbeciles plan on making this one of the articles of impeachment.
OH! I had a good argument yesterday with a democrat down the road from us. He claimed the usual Trump did this and did that-and lying was one of the thats.
I told the son of a b that he was as bad as the rest of the commie bastards. He took issue with that and gave me the usual what the eff you gonna do? I told him when “it” starts he better get well heeled cause he is the first one I am going to target. He is the ONLY democRAT in our little block of families.
I find my temper getting real short these days..the older I get. Not that it wasnt already short. But boy...
I cant hardly deal with these sons a Bs anymore.
crz...I know where you are coming from but don’t let the idiot down the road get to you. You will never change his vote so just focus on like minded folks and encourage them to register and vote. I let them know that I perform free taxi service on election day if they just ask. Most, if not all, appreciate my offer.
