'We are not fooling around:' Adam Schiff outlines plan to expand impeachment investigation
by Susan Ferrechio
 | October 02, 2019 12:33 PM

House Democrats plan to expand their impeachment investigation to include the actions of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Attorney General William Barr.

Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff of California outlined the plan at a news conference Wednesday, and he warned if President Trump does not cooperate, Democrats would draft an article of impeachment accusing him of obstructing Congress.

“We are not fooling around now,” Schiff said.

Schiff also told reporters he is not stopping at simply investigating Trump’s July 25 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, which produced a whistleblower complaint that launched the House impeachment inquiry.

“What was the State Department’s role? What was the secretary’s role, what was the role of the attorney general?” Schiff said, describing the investigation. “There is a great deal more we need to know to understand the full depth of the president’s misconduct.”

This is war. These dictatorial punks in the House need to get it right between the eyes. Metaphorically speaking.

Playground rules apply.
The first guy to have to say outloud, I'm not fooling around!, is the guy in the weaker position.
The guy who is seriously "not fooling around", doesn't have to say a word. You will know.

I'm not fooling around dude! I'll do it! I will dammit! I'm not foolin'! <- this is the realization that you just f**ked up.
This is the guy who is looking for a way out of the fight.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

Can "double secret probation" be far behind?

  • Ah, the air is so much fresher here...
Schiffty and the Dems problem is that they think they we don't have separate but equal branches, and that they have uncontested, premier authority in our govt.

Except of course they don't. The Executive has it's own near plenary right to conduct investigations and enforce the law entirely on it's own without Congressional permission.

If Barr is conducting an investigation, then Schiffty trying to 'investigate' that is in reality obstruction of justice.

Which is what is really going on here. Dems will do anything to stop Barr from investigating, and this is their Hail Mary.
The Republic is lost.

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.

Ok ... so ... now they have actually laid the groundwork to "expand" the investigation into impeachment which will lead to more investigations and those investigations will be on-going and will conveniently carry on until at least the 2020 election.  That is exactly what this is all about.

Translation; the DEMS don't think they have a snowball's chance in hell of winning in 2020.  They cheated in 2016 so they have to do something in order to win.  Me thinks that perhaps some of the House seats won by the DEMS in 2018 may not have actually been fairly won.
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.

Adam Schiff outlines plan to expand impeachment investigation

What impeachment investigation?  To my knowledge, the House of Representatives has not voted to authorize any such investigation and until they do it does not exist!
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Well, that's what Nancy said and thinks. That they are more important and powerful than the Executive Branch.

And if Nan said it...you know it must be true. /s

It's all about the Divine Right of Democrats. It's how they think. They think they "rule" the country and all the people, land, property, and companies in it. I can't find the quote right now, but right after the election Pelosi outright said paraphrasing, 'I am the real President now!' Because she considered Trump to be an inept fool who could not ever do the job. That's how far from reality Democrats are.
