President Trump’s refusal to allow the U.S. ambassador to the European Union to appear before the secret sessions chaired by head inquisitor Adam Schiff is the first shot across Nancy Pelosi’s bow.
Nancy Pelosi has still not put the impeachment inquiry to a full House vote. Until she does that, Democrats can continue their unfair tactics throughout the latest bogus inquiry.
President Trump succinctly put it this way, “I would love to send Ambassador Sondland…to testify, but unfortunately he would be testifying before a totally compromised kangaroo court, where Republican rights have been taken away, and true facts are not allowed out…Importantly, Ambassador Sondland’s tweet. (to a colleague)..stated, ‘I believe you are incorrect about President Trump’s intentions. The President has been crystal clear: no quid pro quos of any kind.’”
The President’s tweet ended, “That says it ALL!”
…not according to prevaricators living in Adam Schiff’s twisted universe. Pelosi appointed Schiff, a well-known liar and hater of the President, to serve as point man for a single reason: The Intelligence Committee can hold its meetings in secret.
It is, however, no secret that Schiff is a notorious leaker. He cherry picks witness statements (usually out of context) and makes sure his pals in the mainstream press are the first to know.
The White House is on to this scam. Plans are to send Nancy Pelosi a letter notifying her that unless the full House votes for a formal impeachment inquiry, Madam Speaker and her toady Chairman Schiff, can use their fake subpoenas as cone-shaped proctoscopes.
So, Pelosi and her minions are faced with somewhat of a Hobson’s choice. They can keep claiming that what they are doing is within their constitutionally sanctioned oversight responsibilities. Do that and they’ll have to fight it out in court.
Democrat lawyers would have to ask the judge to ignore two impeachment procedural precedents (Nixon and Clinton), as well as the Constitution, which gives full power to the House, not the Speaker or Star Chamber committees.
When phase 2 of this farce begins in the Senate, the Democrats have no hope for a conviction. Pelosi’s equally clownish allies in that chamber performed miserably in their shameful takedown attempt of Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh. Republican Senators like Lindsey Graham will likewise eat Democrat lunches in the reverse show trial of the century.
Another danger is that the Democrat coterie of whistle-blowers are likely to be exposed as intelligence community Deep Throat clones acting as surrogates for former CIA czar John Brennan. Brennan and his intelligence pals—you know, the ones who failed to prevent the 9-11 terrorist attacks—have been seeking revenge ever since newly elected President Trump told them to sit down, shut up, and speak only when spoken to.
Finally, it appears that now that they have caused political chaos and gotten their way, the squad of Congress girls—Ocasio-Cortez and her dopey mean girlfriends—continue their callow silliness. Cortez is pressing for abolition of the prison system. That’s not an exaggeration.
Then there is Rashida Tlaib who told her constituents that she and her fellow lawmakers were trying to figure out how to arrest and where to confine White House officials who ignore congressional subpoenas. She also told Detroit police chief to stop hiring white people as facial recognition analysts because only blacks can tell the difference between people. Again, this is not an exaggeration.
So, small wonder that when faced with opposition like Pelosi and company, President Trump can promote the country’s current unprecedented prosperity, continue build a record of achievement, and still thwart Democrat sabotage with one hand tied behind his back.
