White House Lawyer to Democrat Lynch Mob: Trump Won’t Cooperate
White House Lawyer to Democrat Lynch Mob: Trump Won’t Cooperate

". . . Pat Cipollone, the president’s chief counsel, has served legal notice on Pelosi and her lynch party of committee chairmen that the president will not cooperate with an “impeachment inquiry” that is illegal, unconstitutional, and seeks to overturn the results of the 2016 election.

The president, Cipollone wrote, has work to do. That work does not include involving himself in a transparent charade to destroy his presidency.

Illegal and Unconstitutional
In a letter on October 8, Cipollone harshly chastised Pelosi and her three unindicted co-conspirators — Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings, and Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel — for attempting what amounts to a bloodless coup d’etat because Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election.

The so-called impeachment inquiry, Cipollone wrote, “is constitutionally invalid and a violation of due process.”

The full House did not vote for the “inquiry,” but in any event the denial of due process is “a fatal defect. Despite Speaker Pelosi’s commitment to ‘treat the President with fairness’ the Committees have not established any procedures affording the President even the most basic protections.”

Cipollone cited leftist leftist Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler’s concerns about due process when the impeachment target was Democrat Bill Clinton, including “the right to be informed of the law, of the charges against you, the right to confront the witnesses against you, to call your own witnesses, and to have the assistance of counsel,” as Nadler put it.

Yet “all of these procedures have been abandoned here,” Cipollone continued. “These due process rights are not a matter of discretion ... to dispense with at will. To the contrary, they are constitutional requirements. The Supreme Court has recognized that due process protections apply to all congressional investigations.”

Trump, he wrote, has the right to attend hearings with counsel, see and present evidence, call and cross-examine witnesses, and object to witnesses and testimony. But “the Committees’ current procedures provide none of these basic constitutional rights.”

Instead, those proceedings have been secret. Like a star chamber.

Nor did the Pelosi posse give Republican committee members the right to issue subpoenas — a standard practice — thus ensuring that evidence contrary to the hate-Trump narrative is omitted or buried.

The Democrats also threatened members of the administration with obstruction of justice charges if they assert executive privilege in testimony or in withholding evidence, a longstanding practice. Even worse, the lynch mob threatened to withhold the salaries of those employees. That violates the employees’ due-process rights.

Schiff’s Role
Yet an even more salient fact is that Trump did nothing wrong in his phone call of July 25 with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, whom he asked to investigate the Biden-Burisma scandal.

“You have resorted to such unprecedented and unconstitutional procedures because you know that a fair process would expose the lack of any basis for your inquiry” Cipollone wrote.

Trump’s call was “completely appropriate,” Cipollone wrote, as the transcript proved.

And Schiff’s public reading of a fake version of the call proves that Trump did nothing wrong, Cipollone wrote. Otherwise, the hate-Trump congressman wouldn’t have had to fake it.

As well, Schiff has a conflict of interest because he played a role in the now-famous whistleblower’s hearsay complaint of August 12 that set off the latest impeachment hysteria. Schiff claimed that neither he nor his staff had contact with the whistleblower before the complaint was made. That was false; Schiff’s staff members advised the individual.

Thus, Cipollone wrote, “anyone who was involved in the preparation or submission of the whistleblower's complaint cannot possibly act as a fair and impartial judge in the same matter — particularly after misleading the American people about his involvement.”

Reverse 2016
Cipollone rightly concluded that Democrats are trying to reverse Clinton’s loss in 2016 and stop a repeat Trump win in 2020. . . . "

Pretty fucking rightarded since there's no law or rule that requires the full House has to vote on an impeachment inquiry. Basing their entire obstruction on that is nothing short of foolish.

I'm so glad that AG Holder set the precedent of telling Congress to fuck off.

Now we can all just ignore this politically motivated circus.

LOL

You can ignore it, but Trump can't. These are legally issued subpoenas and there was no binding precedent set by the Holder case.

Yeah, fuck due process, that is only for DNC, liberal and progressive politicians. Everyone else gets a Star Chamber.


We'll try the fucker in secret so the people and their elected reps. don't see what is going on. The rabble don't have a right to see the evidence or question witnesses.

Fuck them, stoopid rubes.

He's not being tried in secret. There isn't even a trial yet.

There's no law that says they have to stand on one foot and spin around.

There's no law that says they have to wait till the full moon to decide to take a vote.

There's no law that says they can't roast rats right there in the congressional Hall and eat them with horseradish whilst reciting opera ballads from Turnadot....

Yep none of those laws are in there.

The president, Cipollone wrote, has work to do. That work does not include involving himself in a transparent charade to destroy his presidency.

Illegal and Unconstitutional
In a letter on October 8, Cipollone harshly chastised Pelosi and her three unindicted co-conspirators — Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings, and Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel — for attempting what amounts to a bloodless coup d’etat because Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election.

The so-called impeachment inquiry, Cipollone wrote, “is constitutionally invalid and a violation of due process.”

The full House did not vote for the “inquiry,” but in any event the denial of due process is “a fatal defect. Despite Speaker Pelosi’s commitment to ‘treat the President with fairness’ the Committees have not established any procedures affording the President even the most basic protections.”

Cipollone cited leftist leftist Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler’s concerns about due process when the impeachment target was Democrat Bill Clinton, including “the right to be informed of the law, of the charges against you, the right to confront the witnesses against you, to call your own witnesses, and to have the assistance of counsel,” as Nadler put it.

Yet “all of these procedures have been abandoned here,” Cipollone continued. “These due process rights are not a matter of discretion ... to dispense with at will. To the contrary, they are constitutional requirements. The Supreme Court has recognized that due process protections apply to all congressional investigations.”

Trump, he wrote, has the right to attend hearings with counsel, see and present evidence, call and cross-examine witnesses, and object to witnesses and testimony. But “the Committees’ current procedures provide none of these basic constitutional rights.”

Instead, those proceedings have been secret. Like a star chamber.

Nor did the Pelosi posse give Republican committee members the right to issue subpoenas — a standard practice — thus ensuring that evidence contrary to the hate-Trump narrative is omitted or buried.

The Democrats also threatened members of the administration with obstruction of justice charges if they assert executive privilege in testimony or in withholding evidence, a longstanding practice. Even worse, the lynch mob threatened to withhold the salaries of those employees. That violates the employees’ due-process rights.

Schiff’s Role
Yet an even more salient fact is that Trump did nothing wrong in his phone call of July 25 with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, whom he asked to investigate the Biden-Burisma scandal.

“You have resorted to such unprecedented and unconstitutional procedures because you know that a fair process would expose the lack of any basis for your inquiry” Cipollone wrote.

Trump’s call was “completely appropriate,” Cipollone wrote, as the transcript proved.

And Schiff’s public reading of a fake version of the call proves that Trump did nothing wrong, Cipollone wrote. Otherwise, the hate-Trump congressman wouldn’t have had to fake it.

As well, Schiff has a conflict of interest because he played a role in the now-famous whistleblower’s hearsay complaint of August 12 that set off the latest impeachment hysteria. Schiff claimed that neither he nor his staff had contact with the whistleblower before the complaint was made. That was false; Schiff’s staff members advised the individual.

Thus, Cipollone wrote, “anyone who was involved in the preparation or submission of the whistleblower's complaint cannot possibly act as a fair and impartial judge in the same matter — particularly after misleading the American people about his involvement.”

Reverse 2016
Cipollone rightly concluded that Democrats are trying to reverse Clinton’s loss in 2016 and stop a repeat Trump win in 2020. . . . "

Pretty fucking rightarded since there's no law or rule that requires the full House has to vote on an impeachment inquiry. Basing their entire obstruction on that is nothing short of foolish.

I'm so glad that AG Holder set the precedent of telling Congress to fuck off.

Now we can all just ignore this politically motivated circus.

LOL

You can ignore it, but Trump can't. These are legally issued subpoenas and there was no binding precedent set by the Holder case.

Ummmmm let's see.....3 weeks and counting.....so far being ignored....
Hmmm.....looks like you're just wrong.

There's no law that says they have to stand on one foot and spin around.

There's no law that says they can't roast rats right there in the congressional Hall and eat them with horseradish whilst reciting opera ballads from Turnadot....

Yep none of those laws are in there.

Dumbfuck, we're talking about authorizing an impeachment inquiry, not spinning on one foot.

I'll take this nonsensical post of yours as evidence that, despite your frustration, you can't actually argue Pelosi did anything wrong by authorizing the impeachment inquiry.

No,I clearly poonted out that none of your fantasies have come true. Enjoy your tantrum.

 

[longknife]

This impeachment inquiry is not a legal impeachment procedure in any way. You cannot compel someone to testify when there is no power of the law behind it.

Without a vote in the house to authorize the inquiry they have no monies and have no power to subpoena.

According to Congressional rules, each committee and subcommittee has the authority to subpoena individuals as part of its oversight authority. Each groups has its own set of rules but, in general, chairmen are authorized to issue subpoenas after confering with minority members.

The president and members of his administration may cite Executive Privilege as reasons not to conform with the demands.

When decided, Congress may go to a federal judge to demand compliance and it's up to each judge to determine the merits of the claim. It's also the right of the administration to appeal and such appeals may end up in the Supreme Court.

As Congress has no acceptable holding facilities, it is forced to turn to the judicial branch, in the form of Federal Marshalls, to arrest and incarcerate individuals found guilt of contempt of Congress.
