Offical Impeachment Thread

[teddyearp]

Now the republican congressman is lying on live television. Yes, hearsay can, in fact, be admissible.

Where. Link? Prove it.

SPEIER is a real dumb bulb...this ought to be good....

The law does NOT give grant them status anonymity, because the US Constitution gives every citizen the right to face their accuser,

In a trial, dumbass.

Impeachment is not a trial.

You're just making this stupid shit up as an excuse to expose and kill the whistleblower.

this isn't an impeachment. you got wrong hairball. what's the article of impeachment that trump is charged with?

This is an impeachment inquiry, not an impeachment. So far Trump has not been accused officially - so there is no accuser to face.

When Articles of impeachment are passed by the house, witnesses will be cross examined by the representatives of the President during the Senate trial.

Bring it on.

I'm pretty sure that's what Schiff intends to do.

you know that huh?

What's the article that started the need for the inquiry? I'm still waiting.

Schiff is beginning to sweat.....

His eyeballs are popping!

Cute.

 

[easyt65]

The lie was about cheating on his wife. Trump is lying about 19 such cases.

OH STOP!

Bill 'Slick Willy' Clinton was found IN CONTEMPT OF COURT for attempting to defraud the court by telling lies and spinning his testimony, for which he was stripped of his license to practice law in Arkansas, for being an unethical POS who violated his oath as a lawyer and a President, who attempted to deny his victim her right to a FAIR TRIAL...

 

[jbander]

Schiff just tried to claim he does not know the identity of the Whistleblower.......yet he claims there is no need for whoever this is to testify.

Bwuhahahahahaha!

SCHIFF DOESN'T KNOW THE IDENTITY OF THE NON-WHISTLEBLOWER BECAUSE THERE IS NO WHISTLEBLOWER - NEVER WAS ONE.

THIS WHOLE THING IS ANOTHER ONE OF HIS MADE-UP PARODIES!

If this turns out to be the case, this treasonous SOB needs to be on the 1st C-130 bound for GITMO!

said the lawyer turd to the toilet. Love it, Right wing lawyers, hell they no everything . There main defense throughout this hearing will be saying that some democrat did this, that and whatever so that makes it OK for scumbag to do it. Strange strange lawyers. Strange and funny. Love to watch them squirm. Panic, back into a corner and piss themselves. That image will be rather hard to sell to the public to get the votes needed for your hate party candidates , I think.

He is not entitled to ask for a personal favour. The US is not a fucking banana republic.

Are they chasing facts on a legal Blowjob? Were underage sex partners involved?

The problem that Clinton had wasn't the oral sex- but the FACT he lied about it as part of his scheme to deprive Paula Corbin Jones of the money he owed her for Sexual Harassment. If he had been open from the start in regardless to his testimony under oath, he would have never been impeached.


Why couldn't Clinton have just manned up and cut a check to Ms. Jones to start with?

He lied about a blowjob. So have you.

He lied as part of his scheme to try and deprive Paula Corbin Jones of the money he owed her for Sexual Harassment. The fact that the lie was about a blowjob is immaterial to the whole case.

The lie was about cheating on his wife. Trump is lying about 19 such cases.

Hillary Clinton didn't give a shit about that at all. Clinton's list of affairs was legendary, he even denied his own love child, Danney Williams Clinton. Why ? Because he's cheap. Never paid a nickel for the support of Danney.

Who?

Got proof on that one or is it more conservative fantasies?

The truth hurts you.

how? what truth?

 

[ph3iron]

This pretty much nails it.


Read the whole thing, Dimwingers.............it has a lot of words, so you may need to take some breaks......but read it and discover just how devoid of facts and evidence this impeachment farce is.

I predict a lot of Dimwinger crying and whining about the author, and nothing to debunk any of the facts he presents.




Gregg Jarrett: The Trump impeachment inquiry is already in big trouble. Here's who Democrats have to thank

The clown show known as an "impeachment inquiry" is getting more comical and hapless by the day.

Consider the latest remark from the circus master himself, California Rep. Adam Schiff, (think Bozo, not Pennywise). The Democratic chairman of the House Intelligence Committee says he doesn’t want Republicans turning the impeachment proceedings into a “sham.” The hilarious irony is lost on no one. Schiff has already managed to accomplish it all on his own.

At first, Schiff wanted the faux “whistleblower” who triggered the impeachment farce to testify. Then, suddenly, he didn’t. What changed? In the interim, evidence emerged that Schiff and/or his staff colluded with the “whistleblower” before the complaint was ever filed and then lied about it, earning Schiff “Four Pinocchios” from The Washington Post.



The chairman now wants to conceal his own role in engineering the pretext for impeachment and his subsequent deceit. This is why he has insisted that the “whistleblower” remain anonymous, despite no such right, guarantee, privilege, or entitlement written in the law, as I explained in an earlier column. Even though the undercover informant (reportedly working for the CIA) does not qualify for whistleblower status under the law as determined by the Department of Justice, any effort by Republicans to call him as a witness will be blocked by Schiff.

But Schiff’s machinations are more malevolent than masking the key witness. Those he will call to testify are already on record dishing up prodigious plates of multiple hearsay and rank speculation. It is obvious from the released transcripts of the heretofore “super top-secret” inquisition that none of them have any firsthand knowledge of a “quid pro quo” allegedly demanded by President Trump.

For example, Bill Taylor, the acting ambassador to Ukraine who will testify on Wednesday, told Schiff’s committee that it was his “understanding” there was a link between U.S. security assistance and an investigation of Joe and Hunter Biden. How did Taylor arrive at his opinion? He heard it through discussions with other diplomats, although there is no indication that any of these individuals had direct knowledge of anything. The chain of hearsay went something like this: the European Union Ambassador Gordon Sondland told National Security Council official Tim Morrison who, in turn, told Taylor that there was a purported "quid pro quo."



But wait. If Sondland was the original source, where did he get his information? He initially testified that in a brief phone conversation with Trump, the president explicitly told him, “I want nothing ... I want no quid pro quo.” Sondland added that he “never” thought there was a precondition on aid. Later, he revised his testimony to state, “I presumed that the aid suspension had become linked to the proposed anti-corruption statement.”

Ah, yes. He "presumed." Reliable witnesses do not assume or presume anything. If they do, it is nothing more than supposition that should be discarded like yesterday’s trash.

My favorite purveyor of assorted hearsay is another star witness for Schiff this Wednesday. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State George Kent testified that he “believed” there was a “quid pro quo” after speaking to Taylor who spoke to Morrison who heard it from Sondland who, as noted, “presumed” a precondition. This is conjecture built on triple hearsay. It is not evidence, it is junk. If this were a court of law, the presiding judge would instruct the jury to disregard such testimony and strike it from the record.

The Democratic chairman of the House Intelligence Committee says he doesn’t want Republicans turning the impeachment proceedings into a “sham.” The hilarious irony is lost on no one. Adam Schiff has already managed to accomplish it all on his own.

Under cross-examination, these witnesses readily admitted they had no firsthand knowledge of the president’s intent during his telephone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. They simply propagated and repeated rumors and innuendo in their diplomatic echo chamber. But that has not stopped Schiff from pretending that they are valued witnesses. With the chairman’s encouragement and guidance, they have offered their interpretations of the Trump-Zelensky conversation. It reminds me of Schiff’s own dramatic interpretation of the phone call, which was nothing more than an unconscionable fabrication designed to smear Trump.

A transcript of the real conversation is the best evidence of what actually occurred. Indeed, it is the only relevant and material evidence. Nowhere is there a demand, condition, or pressure for a “quid pro quo” that made an investigation of the Bidens contingent on U.S. military assistance. This is corroborated by Zelensky who is on record stating that there was no blackmail involved and no pressure applied. “Nobody pushed me,” Zelensky said. “We had a great phone call,” he added. “It was normal.”

The Ukrainian government has confirmed that it was unaware that U.S. aid had been temporarily suspended until almost five weeks after the call with Trump. As noted in my previous column, it is impossible for there to be a “quid pro quo” when the recipient of the “quid” is oblivious to the existence of the "quo."

In the court of public opinion, Schiff increasingly reveals himself to be the court jester playing the fool. He presides over an investigatory charade that is anathema to fundamental fairness and due process.

If the inquiry was equitable, both sides would be able to call their own witnesses. Yet, the House of Representatives passed its impeachment measure giving Schiff the right to veto GOP witnesses. He has already made it clear that he will do so, rejecting a request that the faux “whistleblower” testify. It is clear that other witnesses, including Schiff and/or his staff, will also be rejected.



To his credit, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., has made it clear that if the unidentified informant who precipitated the impeachment "witch hunt" is not allowed to testify in the House, “this thing is dead on arrival in the Senate.”

In truth, it was DOA the moment Schiff was put in charge of this clown show.

[Polishprince]

the DNC Ukraine collusion is the real issue

Exactly correct. And Ukraine President Zelensky admits his nation colluded with the DNC in the past.

All their nation wants to do is to admit they are wrong and help America fight and punish the Traitors.

Funny! what a pile

based on the documented facts its a pile of truth,,,

So what your trying to sell here is it's OK that scum bag tried to have Ukraine president Investigate and make up any lie at all about Biden because it was done in the past by someone else. You people have me rolling on the floor.

President Trump didn't ask anyone to make up lies against Sleepy Joe or anyone else.

No one has testified to that idea.

President Trump has stated under oath, that he would love to face Sleepy Joe in next year's general election, as 1% Joe is mentally slow and stupid and has never been good at anything except kissing Obama's scrawny ass.

Why would Trump even want to see Biden denied the Dem nomination?

[Billiejeens]

Starting this morning AMERICA will begin to be shown evidence of more corruption done by this president. Now the standard apologists here will try to claim we aren't hearing what we heard. A live event will be turned into a claim of liberal media spin. It will be called a coup and a witch hunt. But the reality here is we are looking at a constitutional process for the ultimate check on a tyrannical president. Trump is the one that has overturned the result that did not elect the peoples choice for president by HIS BEHAVIOR.

The day has come for Trump. He and his supporters must learn that he cannot do anything he wants.

No one is above the law. Republicans don't get special rights.

Historic impeachment hearings are set to begin, with GOP and Democrats pushing dueling messages on Trump’s conduct

Today is the beginning of public impeachment hearings. Impeachment is just a formal and fancy word for indict or accuse.

The end of the process in the House started today will be to accuse trump of crimes.

Then it goes to the Senate for a trial. No matter what evidence is presented. No matter what the truth is, trump will not be convicted. The republicans won't vote guilty no matter what and anyone who believes they will is fooling themselves.

It's just sad that we have people who put themselves and their political party before our nation, our constitution and the rule of law.

What makes you think there will be a vote on impeachment or that articles of impeachment will be approved by the House at all?

Personally, I don't see anything here.

Why do these Career Deep State Nimrods like Taylor think its "inappropriate" for President Trump to ask trusted advisors like Rudolph Guiliani to speak to Ukraine? Apparently , Taylor has a problem implementing his boss's policy.

Seems more like a union issue.
The Career People should have contacted their union rep.
