Just as the House Intelligence Committee is about to take a vote on its impeachment report, House Republicans have put together a report of their own.
House Republicans did a rather well-timed release of a 123-page report outlining the testimony that was given during the hearings and concluded, “The evidence presented does not prove any of these Democrat allegations, and none of the Democrats’ witnesses testified to having evidence of bribery, extortion, or any high crime or misdemeanor.”
Schiff Upset
Needless to say, the report did not go over well with Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.
By his response, you can tell he feels as though House Republicans are undermining his efforts to impeach Trump.
He did his best to dismantle the report before anyone ever put eyes on it.
Schiff stated, “The Minority’s rebuttal document, intended for an audience of one, ignores voluminous evidence that the president used the power of his office to pressure Ukraine into investigating his political rival by withholding military aid and a White House meeting the President of Ukraine desperately sought.
“In so doing, the President undermined our national security and the integrity of our elections.
“Tellingly, the Minority dismisses this as just part of the President’s ‘outside the beltway’ thinking.
“It is more accurately, outside the law and constitution, and a violation of his oath of office.”
Impeachment Falling Apart
The Democrats have banked everything on the aid to Ukraine being held back for political reasons.
However, they have yet to actually prove this was the case.
Every piece of evidence and testimony they have provided thus far is what people think, not actual fact.
The transcript of the call did mention the investigations, but there was clearly never any pressure put on Zelensky by Trump to conduct those investigations or risk losing his aid.
Additionally, there is documentation proving that Trump wanted to ensure Zelensky was moving forward with the anti-corruption platform he promised.
When that evaluation came in, the aid was released.
Democrats might have a case that Trump violated certain protocols, but that is about as far as this will ever get.
They could make an argument that Trump should be censured, but I really don’t see this getting much further than that.
This is something several House Democrats have already mentioned they would support while at the same time saying based on the testimony thus far, they just don’t think it is an impeachable offense.
As I have stated many times, this is nothing more than a power grab and even some House Democrats are finally realizing it.
Quite honestly I have had to tell my Republican rep to shit or get off the pot on supporting the President. I mean it too and he has learned. It is better when you don’t have to teach’em.
Schiff, as usual is a liar, a man who twists events to satisfy his own wants, his own corrupt thoughts. He forges ahead with wrong doing which eventually will eat his heart. All the proof that President Trump is innocent of any wrong doing was put before the American People but Schiff thinks he can bluff his way into impeaching President Trump. Those Democrat Congress men and women who go along with this mindless hoax will pay a heavy price in Election 2020. And the Democrats in Congress who went to Spain for the Climate Change Conference are once more showing how wasteful, how destructive they are for America. You can be sure they will come back with Wild schemes which will cost the American Tax Payer as well as high costs for heat, air conditioning, All energy…you can bet on it…every one in the Nation will suffer as well as pay for high cost of energy if they have their way.
Schiff seems to be a really desperate man. In his mind his lies are real, or rather he hopes they become real, as all demRATS go by Saul Alinsky’s playbook, “tell the lie and repeat it often, until people start to believe it” He should be locked up. Dems know they crimes are their own and Biden threatened the Ukraine to with hold $1 Billion in aid unless they fired the naughty Prosecutor who dared to investigate his bad egg , drug addicted son, This whole impeachment lark is because they don’t want the actual truth to come out, that all of them have been money laundering through Ukraine and China and other Countries. All became wealthy this way
