Jerry Nadler: House Rules Don't Apply Until After Impeachment
Breitbart ^ | Dec 12, 2019 | Joel B..Pollak

Posted on 12/15/2019 6:57:08 PM PST by White MAGA Man

Reading from a prepared text, Nadler argued: “The House rule does not require me to schedule a hearing on a particular day, nor does it require me to schedule the hearing as a condition precedent to taking any specific legislative action.”

In other words, he interpreted the rule as allowing him to schedule the minority witness hearing after the articles of impeachment had already passed.

A joke is supposed to be humorous. This should be called a travesty or an outrage.

Even the most limited of LIVers can understand the unfairness of a conviction before the defense gets to make its case. If the rats do this, it should be publicized in Republican ads and commentary every day until the election.

Truth, but Nadler scheduling the minority witness day after the impeachment vote would be a gift that keeps giving

The more unfair they make the impeachment process, the better for the President.

This impeachment is such a phony farce and transparent scam to railroad an innocent man over absolutely nothing that everyone understands that there is no legit basis for an impeachment

All you have is two camps that know beyond any shadow of doubt that this is simply another kangaroo court witch hunt regardless of what they say in public

It just beaks down into two camps - one that wants to remove Trump at any cost regardless of the damage they do go the country and those that support him.

It all comes down to getting that word out to the uninformed and misinformed people who are dtill able to respond to reason

"Surely this LIEberal Bozo will not get re-elected!?!?"

Your faith in elections is misplaced. My grandfather has been voting Democrat in Chicago elections since 1940, the year he died. We even got a reminder postcard in 1968...

Get an instant acquittal in he Senate before it morphs into another uncontrollable mess. McConnell is almost as bad as Paul Ryan. Remember him?

I hope Trump understands the risk of a “show trial.”

“That makes absolutely no sense.”

Of course it does. Allow me to restate:

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

See? Perfectly reasonable.

To: Extremely Extreme Extremist

Nadler is not far from the Big One. His skin is grey. His mouth is crooked and one eye pops out. It looks like he might have had several TIAs. Add to that the extreme weight loss by belly-banding. Those people do not last long.

(with the exception of Al Roker.)

There is only one effective response to this evil betrayal of our country: Massive 20 million man march on Washington to directly confront the deep state and their Democrat and Media lackeys. March on Washington!

Nadler is off his feed or just crazy.

But this interpretation is very, lets say, totalitarian or even “Bolshevik.”

Hearings are structured in a way that witneeses of all stripes appear and are examined to obtain consensual truth, or to ascertain judicial facts. Nadler’s interpretation of scheduling minority witnesses AFTER the report out of committee is designed to confuse or prevent consensual truth., in fact it obviates any purpose of a hearing might otherwise have. No need to have a hearing at all.The results can be proclaimed unilaterally by the Chair even before the hearing begins.

Nadler has the mind of a totalitarian, a Bolshevik.

This is a very chilling fact.

When they started the Nixon impeachment, the public was not on board. Demoncrats brought witness after witness, and with the help of the press and worsening economy, Republicans caved and asked him to resign.

My guess Demoncrats are planning a “Nixon” strategy in the Senate. If 4 RINOs cave, they win

These people literally seemed to have no fear of the American people.

I believe they do fear the American people, but that there is some exposure (probably treason) that they fear far more.
