Official Impeachment Thread 2.0: House Judiciary Committee Hearings

[Hutch Starskey]

I wasn't asked to prove guilt, dope. I was asked for evidence that it was politically motivated.

Obviously if there was no investigation then there was no corruption.
Obviously then, Trump's motive was not corruption but political advantage.

Oh yeah, and Joe Biden's son was on the Barisma board at $50,000 a month because he's just a damn genius in the energy industry. Out of all the places in the world, it's just a coincidence that Joe Biden is the point man for Obama in Ukraine and Hunter Biden is on the board. We aren't as dumb as you think we are.

We aren't as dumb as you think we are.

You are indeed. So much so that you will never understand that you are.

There was no investigation for Biden to have corruptly halted by the removal of Shokin.

That means nothing. The Democrat party corruption has become normal operating procedure.

It means nothing?
It's exactly what the president referenced in his phone conversation, dope.

You better call Pelosi. Democrats are defecting. Moron.

Deflecting what, dope?

DEFECTING, not "deflecting". Stupid cocksucker.

Mitch McConnell's stunning and outrageous admission that he is in the tank already for Trump on the trial rules, is a flat violation of the oath he will take as a juror. If a jury foreman in a murder trial was found to have worked closely with the defense he would be prosecuted.

The Senate isn't a jury.

You'd rather he lied to you like the House did? The House "inquiry" was fixed before it was even announced.

More epic fail from Nutty Nadler and the deep state media mob.

Cause there's been nothing to prosecute Trump on since the Trump Russia Hoax...

I think they want it over as soon as possible. They already look like crap. Public opinion is turning against them in the Swing States that they need to take back from Trump and I think this obvious prosecutorial misconduct by a thoroughly corrupt FBI leadership is leading to sympathetic support from the Black Community that has been warning us about corrupt prosecutors and investigators for years, and frankly, their claims are much more believable after we have seen what they tried to do to Trump.

We’ve been told that this is not a criminal proceeding, so what's the problem? Apparently, everybody can just make up the rules as they go along.

I don't think so, because while the trial is going on, the Senators all have to be in session 6 days a week. There's no way democrats are going to give up campaigning, so look for them to fast track this to get rid of it. Pelosi really dropped a flaming bag of poo on their door step.

Has Gowdy ever actually done squat when it counted?

Don't know but he's been fantastic in his guest appearances on Fox helping expose
the coup.

Flap and flail his wings until it gets right down to it. Didn't he disappear or quit one time not so long ago ? I liked him, but he seemed to quit right when he was needed.

The Get-It-Over-With Impeachment.

Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Adam Schiff couldn't be bothered with going to court to try to enforce a subpoena — the normal way of doing things — they did not even try to compel Bolton’s testimony.

Now, with an impeachment trial approaching, if Pelosi and her Democratic forces didn’t lift a finger to try to force Bolton and others to testify, why should Senate Republicans?

There's nothing new to say, and it is time for it to be said in the Senate.

"It's like the old saying: Everything that can be said has been said, just not everyone has said it," Rep. Doug Collins, the ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee said.​

"If the last three or four hours of the hearing showed us anything," added Republican Rep. Andy Biggs, also on the committee, "it was that, as expansive as the English language is, the explanations for and against impeachment have been exhausted."​

"There weren't going to be — and there haven't been — any bombshells to change anyone's mind," said Republican Rep. Chris Stewart, a member of the Intelligence Committee. "It's much of the same thing, over and over, just told by different people."​

"Thursday was Groundhog Day," said Republican Rep. Brad Wenstrup, another member of the Intelligence Committee.​

Indeed, both Democrats and Republicans knew that, even as they kept arguing. The 116,000-word transcript of the hearing — yes, 116,000 words, longer than many novels — contains reference after reference to the sheer repetition of argument taking place.

"We heard that over and over and over again ... "

"We hear time and time again ... "

"I keep repeating this ... "

A search of the transcript shows that on 28 occasions, one lawmaker or another noted that the committee was hearing the same thing "over and over." Even the condemnations of repetition became repetitious.

Republicans made substantive defenses of the president — not just protests about process — throughout the session. The aid to Ukraine was delivered on time. The Ukrainians didn't know about the holdup. The Democrats based much of their case on Ambassador Gordon Sondland, who based much of his testimony on presumption. And so on.

Senators will have the opportunity to say the same thing over and over again. And they will surely do so.

By then, impeachment could well become boring — precisely the opposite of the nation-captivating drama Democrats hoped to create.

In the end senators will spend a couple of weeks saying the same things over and over and over again, followed by a vote to acquit the president. And the investigation, impeachment, and trial of Trump in the Ukraine affair will be over.
