The Grinched Impeachment Inquiry

The House Judiciary Committee’s July hearing featuring Special Counsel Robert Mueller was a circus under the chairmanship of tubby Jerry Nadler.  The is-it-or-isn’t-it-impeachment debacle forced Speaker of the House Pelosi to change horses midstream and hand the reins over to smarmy Adam Schiff where he tortured the investigation.

While President Trump is in London for a NATO summit dealing with crucial national security issues, Schiff insists he’s doing “potentially irrevocable” damage to the system of checks and balances and is an existential threat to the Constitution.

From the House Republicans Report of Evidence in the Democrats’ Impeachment Inquiry:

The Democrats’ impeachment inquiry is not the organic outgrowth of serious misconduct; it is an orchestrated campaign to upend our political system. The Democrats are trying to impeach a duly elected President based on the accusations and assumptions of unelected bureaucrats who disagreed with President Trump’s policy initiatives and processes. They are trying to impeach President Trump because some unelected bureaucrats were discomforted by an elected President’s telephone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. They are trying to impeach President Trump because some unelected bureaucrats chafed at an elected President’s “outside the beltway” approach to diplomacy. 

The sum and substance of the Democrats’ case for impeachment is that President Trump abused his authority to pressure Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, President Trump’s potential political rival, for President Trump’s benefit in the 2020 election. Democrats say this pressure campaign encompassed leveraging a White House meeting and the release of U.S. security assistance to force the Ukrainian President to succumb to President Trump’s political wishes. Democrats say that Mayor Rudy Giuliani, the President’s personal attorney, and a “shadow” group of U.S. officials conspired to benefit the President politically. 

The evidence presented does not prove any of these Democrat allegations, and none of the Democrats’ witnesses testified to having evidence of bribery, extortion, or any high crime or misdemeanor.

The Democrats’ impeachment inquiry, led by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, is merely the outgrowth of their obsession with re-litigating the results of the 2016 presidential election. Despite their best efforts, the evidence gathered during the Democrats’ partisan and one-sided impeachment inquiry does not support that President Trump pressured Ukraine to investigate his political rival to benefit the President in the 2020 presidential election. The evidence does not establish any impeachable offense. 

But that is not for Democrats’ want of trying. 

[SKIP] 

Speaker Pelosi, Chairman Schiff, and House Democrats seek to impeach President Trump—not because they have proof of a high crime or misdemeanor, but because they disagreed with the President’s actions and his policies. But in our system of government, the President is accountable to the American people. The accountability to the American people comes at the ballot box, not in the House Democrats’ star chamber.

Starting today, Nadler gets a second chance to be the leader of the would-be hanging party and has scheduled four lawyers who are constitutional scholars, three of whom already support impeachment.  Jonathan Turley will appear as a witness on behalf of Republicans.

Unless you are hoping to get continuing law education credits, your decision to watch this sham, requires a pillow and woobie.  This will most assuredly be a coma-inducing snooze fest.
