White House calls Schumer’s request for ‘fairness’ in Senate impeachment trial ‘laughable’ (Schiffty screwed up)
NY Post ^ | 12/16/19 | Mark Moore

Posted on 12/17/2019 12:43:02 AM PST by Libloather

The White House and Republicans pushed back on Monday at Sen. Chuck Schumer’s proposal to call witnesses - including former national security adviser John Bolton and acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney - to testify at President Trump’s expected impeachment trial in the Senate.

“Let us hope that fairness will prevail” a laughable quote from @SenSchumer this AM….after the dems release an ‘impeachment report’ in the middle of the night,” White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham wrote on Twitter. “Thankfully the people of this country continue to see the partisan sham that this is.”

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), who would serve as a juror in the Senate impeachment trial against Trump, said Democrats had their chance to call Bolton and Mulvaney during their investigation in the House that led to two articles of impeachment - for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

Where. Is. Durham.!!

If something could be released indicating criminality now, this could be stopped!

Massively frustrating...

I tend to think that things are a little on hold until Impeachment makes its way to the Senate and then is rejected.

After that, the Democrats are essentially out of bullets.

Then it’s our turn.

They fear the light and after Trump wins 2020, the attacks will go up exponentially.

I am hoping that, after Trump wins, the full court press of prosecutions will begin starting with Hillary Clinton and her email crimes, and continuing through Comey, Brennan, Clapper, McCabe, Strzok, etc. I would even welcome a military tribunal for charges of treason so that the trial can be free from overtly political influence as much as possible.

I would not prosecute elected officials such as Schiff, Pelosi and Schumer because, regardless of their blatant partisanship, they are acting as elected representatives. But all those involved in crimes against this country while in unelected federal jobs deserve to be punished for their treasonous behavior against this country. They should at least get what was done to Gen. Flynn.

How about at a publicly open meeting of the Senate to determine the rules of the impeachment, a Republican Senator makes a motion like the following?

He/she proposes the exact same rules that Schiff used in the House. Then a discussion and voice vote on that motion is taken.

The Democrats present would go ape shite and start protesting the unfair rules. Force the vote and get them on record for what the Shiff Show was. Of course have enough Republicans to vote against it so it doesn't pass. Then outline the real rules.

Marxism, watermelon environmentalism, critical theory, intersectionalism? I don’t know. What religion does run the house? It’s certainly not Christianity or observant Judaism.

“”Now add Democrat, Chuck Schumer to the ever growing list of human butt wipes””

He’s been on that list since the day he got to the Senate in 1998. Feinstein started it in 1992 and it’s gone downhill ever since. We lived in CA at that time and all we could say was UGH!!!! CA and NY voters will never get rid of them!

Yep, Scumer must have just woken up and missed that key FACT.

"Around 2040, historians will go back to this ‘shifty-era’ and discuss how all of this control and marginalization gutted public trust. People will ask...how did these people screw up so badly, and there just won’t be any answer."

Here's a news flash for you.. The USA ain't going to be here come 2040... Along about that time our so-called president will be a blue haired traney (?) with rings in it's nose, stud in it's tongue and pants below it's ass.. Sooner or later China is going to decide that a nation ran by fools with 10,000 nuclear weapons is totally unacceptable..

wretched, ugly Jewish misfits and black simpletons!?! I think you were looking to post on Stormfront :)

Well Jews I would agree with you, but Blacks are definitely over-represented at all levels of government and in public service. In articles I have read(not on StormFront) advertising executives that are being pressured, are beginning wondering after a poll of all commercials on TV that over 45% of all commercials contain a person of color when they are what a little over 12%. And why there is immense pressure to over represent them.

Black is now angelic, beyond reproach, more intelligent than the Yellow and White apes, more stylish, cultured. This is at least how they are portrayed in the popular culture. And furthering that notion they are more apt to look to government as parent(s) and be beholden to government programs. I think this shift happened after 1965 and Johnson. So the ruling class is using blacks as human shields for all their schemes. I mean the worst crimes you can do now is thought crimes and question these paradigms..Why the criminal class is now cool???

I agree and have noticed that they are ALWAYS on a show, even if there’s only 2 people.

Albertaschild was talking about congress though and I do not know their proportion of representation compared to population

I do know with 100 percent certainty that “wretched, ugly jewish misfits” doesn’t even disguise the poster’s great disdain towards Jews, to be quite frank.

I’m not a snitch so I didn’t report it.

But it was wholly inappropriate .

I look for indictments to start trickling out any time now. It’s my understanding that Durham won’t release a “report”, as people seem to refer to. His job is to assess and indict, as criminal cases are developed.
Certainly, there’s enough evidence, on many aspects, that he could begin the process long before late Spring.

Why not just "wretched, ugly misfits"?

The man who locked out the republicans and did not allow for witnesses?

He’s so out of his mind it’s mind boggling.

He gets nothing. What comes around goes around. He deserve nothing less than a boot up his rear.
