WSJ Editorial Board: Did Anyone Catch Adam Schiff’s Petty Revenge Against the GOP in His Impeachment Report?

Well, it’s now public. The House Intelligence Committee released their impeachment report on Donald Trump and his July phone call with the Ukrainians, where the president supposedly threatened to withhold military aid unless a corruption probe was opened into Hunter Biden’s board position at Burisma, an energy company. Hunter has zero experience in this sector but was being paid $50,000/month allegedly being there selling access to then-top-level Obama officials. You see Hunter got this gig when daddy Biden was VP and leading efforts to root out corruption in the country.
All we know is that the phone call took place. This quid pro quo allegation is shoddier than Russian collusion, but House Democrats needed to go on this because the election is right around the corner and they promised their base they would impeach Trump. So, here have a 300-page report detailing the horrid and impeachable offense of Trump…making a phone call. It really doesn’t get more pathetic than this, especially after the so-called witnesses Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the committee chair, dragged before his kangaroo court. There literally was no smoking gun that was unearthed. It was just career bureaucrats who disagreed with Trump on Ukraine and decided to join the Democrats’ hyper-partisan witch-hunt to oust him. The one who listened in on the call, Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, eventually admitted that the president could temporarily withhold aid to a nation. Nothing illegal occurred. Maybe Trump was a little inappropriate—fine. That’s not an impeachable offense. Schiff’s report is garbage. Whatever Democrats say about this whole affair is trash because this has been their wet dream since Trump’s inauguration.
To make things even nastier, it appears that Schiff ordered secret subpoenas of phone records of his political opponents, specifically ranking member Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA). Nunes and the Republicans on the committee were aggressive in pushing back against Schiff’s show trial. It looks like the chairman got his petty revenge, releasing the calls in the report though nothing about its contents. Schiff was digging up dirt on his opponents, which supposedly is why Trump needs to be removed from office. I guess that the circus act now has expanded towards Republicans in Congress because the Trump Derangement tantrum hasn’t subsided. It’s also a reminder to Republicans that they need to be brutal and merciless against Democrats next year. If that means ending friendships, then so be it. We’re at war. The Wall Street Journal editorial board raked Schiff over the coals over this revelation:
