Adam Schiff’s ‘Grand Jury’

Adam Schiff’s ‘Grand Jury’
Wall Street Journal, Oct 13, 2019, Editorial Board

Mrs. Pelosi took the impeachment reins away from Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler and handed them to Mr. Schiff, who has been running secret hearings as Chairman of the Intelligence Committee. Witnesses testify behind closed doors, and Democrats selectively leak the testimony or evidence to the pro-impeachment press in ways that are often distorted or incomplete. Republicans then offer a competing narrative, and the public is left to wonder what’s true. All of this is supposedly in service to the serious purpose of removing a President elected by 63 million Americans.

Mr. Schiff was challenged on his secrecy on Sunday by Margaret Brennan of CBS’s “Face the Nation,” and the Democrat’s response was extraordinary. “There’s a reason why investigations and grand jury proceedings for example, and I think this is analogous to a grand jury proceeding, are done out of the public view initially,” Mr. Schiff said. “Now we may very well call some of the same witnesses or all the same witnesses in public hearings as well. But we want to make sure that we meet the needs of the investigation and not give the President or his legal minions the opportunity to tailor their testimony and in some cases fabricate testimony to suit their interests.”

A grand jury? As Mr. Schiff knows, a grand jury is a criminal proceeding. Impeachment is a political process in which the House defines the meaning of “high crimes and misdemeanors.” Mr. Schiff wants it both ways: Run his secret hearings like a criminal grand jury, but then impeach Mr. Trump of political offenses even if the President committed no crime.

And he wants to keep it all secret so Mr. Trump and his “legal minions”—i.e., his lawyers and the House minority—don’t have access to the evidence he will use against the President. Oh, and he says contrary evidence will be fabricated—an accusation of a crime in advance but with no evidence. With his every statement and action, Mr. Schiff is making Mr. Trump’s case that this impeachment is a rigged game.

Kangaroo court is what Schiff wants.  This is the only way that the DEMS can win in 2020; they need Trump gone.

Prayers up for you Mr. President.  You don't deserve what is being thrown at you.  Your accusers ARE the guilty.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

Schiff is the sheriff who couldn’t shoot straight.

Trump calls Schiff’s bluff immediately and releases the transcript of his call with Zelensky next morning.

Oops!

Schiff persevered. He called for testimony—in secrecy, to find a quid pro quo in a transcribed conversation the world read the very next day. Nothing there.

Oops!

So, his sham committee called witness after witness—behind closed doors. And when he was asked, Schiff refused to release their testimony to the public. Why?

Oop!

Because if he had even an inkling of evidence of a quid pro quo, you could bet the farm it would be banner headlines in all those rags the usual suspects leak and plot with.

All he got from those hearings was evidence favorable to President Trump.

Oops!

More than a couple of Briefers have stated exactly Schitt's argument that this really is a Grand Jury, where the Republicans should be locked out of the process.

Ain't that a same! Hatred for Trump has led them to support the evil of the democommies who would take away all their rights if they get more power.

Mark Levin had a special on the fake impeachment last night. He read from the 1998 rules that were agreed to by parties and the full House and gave protections to Clinton. It's a stark contrast to today's kangaroo court.
Principles matter. Words matter.

Schifftymada.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
