Pelosi and her wingman Schumer claim they want to be assured the Senate will hold a “fair” trial.

As usual the Democrats got it ***-backwards......

The Constituion’s language WRT “fair trails” is intended to apply to the accused.....not the accusers.

FR POSTED-——AAG Matthew Whitaker Discusses Upcoming IG Report on FISA Abuse and Trump Campaign Surveillance.

Following leaked revelations that former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith manipulated evidence to attain a Title-1 surveillance warrant against U.S. person Carter Page to conduct political espionage against the Trump campaign, former AAG Matthew Whitaker discusses the IG investigation and upcoming IG report.

Whitaker notes the bigger issues are how the FISA process generally has been abused and potentially long-term ramifications.

It is also worth remembering it wasn’t just “wiretaps” that were gained, the FBI requested and received full Title-1 surveillance authority including:
<><>wiretaps,
<><> electronic surveillance,
<><> the use of bugs and tracking devices,
<><> physical surveillance,
<><> electronic surveillance
<><> satellite geo-location surveillance
<><> and much more.

The FBI requested a type of surveillance generally reserved for tracking suspected terrorists.

When Mr. Clinesmith manipulated evidence to attain the warrant, he was working under the guidance of FBI supervisory agent Peter Strzok. -—snip——rest on FR

I expect that if the SocialDemocrats hold the House after November they will set up a permmanent Impeachment Committee. Chances are that after the impending census reshapes the House the Democrats will have a guaranteed number of seats near half and getting a few more will be the norm. I see then permanent SocDem House and a Senate that can still change hands for a couple of cycles longer.The Impeachment Committee will be active and produce Articles of Impeachment for any future Republican President.

Nanzi sent out Harvard Trump hater Noah Feldman on a fool’s errand: to trick policy wonk Mitch McConnell.
Gulling McConnell into acting on the made-up theory that "there’s no impeachment" until she mails the letter.

Noah's hairdresser gets the award in the category:
"Best Marcel wave seen since Bette Davis in 1940."

".... Pelosi and her wingman Schumer claim they want to be assured the Senate will hold a “fair” trial.... As usual the Democrats got it ***-backwards.... The Constituion’s language WRT “fair trails” is intended to apply to the accused.... not the accusers.

The first post I've read on Pelosi's claim the she wants to be assured that before she will transmit the House articles of impeachment to the Senate, that the Senate trial will be fair, by you pointing out that the "fair" part applies to Trump, not her, the House and the democRATS.

Excellent point that no one else I've read has picked up on. Good job. Thanks. 👍
