Here Paul Emery and Jigga-Pooh
From Bill O’Reilly and his investigative staff.
“Now, let’s walk through this Schiff thing. So Schiff apparently violated the rules of the house, as a committee chairman, House Intel Committee as I just said. He has a responsibility to share this kind of information with his fellow members. He didn’t. He wanted to ambush Donald Trump. After the whistleblower went to the attorneys, I’m just guessing they might have been recommended by Schiff’s office and the attorneys themselves wrote the complaint, which they did. Whistleblower didn’t write it. So he didn’t want to tell anybody… he wanted the whole complaint to be there and then drop it on the media. He was successful in doing that.
Now the attorneys, Andrew Bakaj. Andrew has worked for Daniel Moynihan, Charles Schumer and Hillary Clinton. Oh I know you’re shocked. He’s representing the whistleblower. His other counsel, Mark Zaid apparently filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump. Oh what a convenience. This is now becoming a joke. Right? Now, I believe that what I just told you you didn’t hear. Not from Fox News not from any news. Did you know that? Did you know Zaid filed lawsuits against Donald Trump or that the other guy worked for Schumer and Hillary. Did you know that? No.”

I guess the “rules” are what she says they are. “I don’t need to do that. YOU can’t make me.”
“On Thursday morning, McCarthy wrote to Pelosi to ask whether she intended to comply with the precedent set in three previous presidential impeachment inquiries (Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Bill Clinton) of having the full House vote to authorize an investigation.
McCarthy also asked whether Pelosi would comply with precedent by letting the minority have equal power to subpoena witnesses, allowing the president’s counsel to cross-examine them, and having the House Judiciary Committee lead the investigation (as required under existing House rules).”
She doesn’t have the votes. She has seats to try and protect.

Daily Quotes
Upright: “Two years ago, [House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff] lied to the American public [when] he said he had proof and evidence beyond circumstantial, and carried us through this nightmare for the last two years. He then … met with Michael Cohen and his staff, what, three times, more than 10 hours. He met with Glenn Simpson with Fusion GPS. And now he met with this whistleblower and lied to the American public. Every time they have attempted a coup, there’s been one common denominator: the lies and deceit of Adam Schiff. … He needs to recuse himself today, and the speaker needs to remove him as the chairman of one of our most sensitive committees that we have.” —House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy
For the record: “I don’t even believe this whistleblower actually wrote this complaint because it’s written in a way that reads exactly like the Steele dossier, which … was a Clinton bought-and-paid-for dirt.” —Rep. Devin Nunes
Deflecting: “I think we should just focus on — [Trump’s] the issue. Nobody has ever asserted that I did anything wrong except he [sic] and … Rudy [Giuliani].” —Joe Biden
Braying jenny: “The vice president has a lot to answer to. And he also should be brought before the United States Congress to speak about what exactly was his involvement and what if any solicitations were made by the president to have the vice president engage in unethical conduct and potentially illegal conduct.” —Sen. Kamala Harris
Non compos mentis: “[Trump] should not be going after anybody. He is the president of the United States of America. He is setting some of us up to be killed. I have death threats constantly.” —Rep. Maxine Waters, who told her constituents to harass Trump officials
Braying jackass: “I understand the danger of this president. I understand that he has colluded with Russia. I understand that he’s embraced Putin. I also understand that he really wants to be and act like a dictator.” —Maxine Waters
The Award for Total Lack of Self-Awareness goes to… “We have a responsibility to uphold our oath of office to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. We also have a responsibility to get the job done for the American people.” —House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on how Donald Trump should still help Democrats pass legislation while they’re taking up impeachment
The BIG Lie: “‘Billionaires should not exist’ does not mean certain people should not exist. It means no person should have a billion dollars. The ascent of billionaires is a symptom & outcome of an immoral system.” —Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Submit! “Here’s my message to Democrats. The public is already there. Well over 75% of Americans support gun licensing. … You should not be a nominee from our party … if you don’t believe in gun licensing.” —Sen. Cory Booker
Letting the cat out of the bag: “The idea of getting to federal [firearm] registration down the line? Possible.” —Joe Biden
And last… “Adam Schiff has never been afraid of a microphone. He’s never met a camera he didn’t love. And frankly, he’s never met a camera he didn’t lie to. Adam Schiff is basically the Jussie Smollett of Congress on steroids.” —Donald Trump Jr.

IT must really sting that every big narrative from the socialist dems crashes and burns.
A marathon closed-door interview of President Trump’s former Ukraine envoy tore apart Democrats’ claims of a quid pro quo between the two governments, House Foreign Affairs Committee member Scott Perry, R-Pa., claimed on Thursday.
Former envoy Kurt Volker was an outstanding witness who proved Trump did not engage in such an unethical activity with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Perry asserted Thursday on “The Story.”
“You really couldn’t have a more professional and more credible witness — and more knowledgable about Ukraine,” he said.
“I would call Ambassador Volker the star witness in the so-called whistleblower’s report. Everything he said unsubstantiated this claim of a quid pro quo.”

“Stephanopoulos pushed back, telling Pelosi “Well those weren’t the president’s words, it was an interpretation of the president’s words. They’re saying he made this up,” to which Pelosi replied “He did not make it up.”

Ya’ll need to vote if its real or don’t bother us socialists! Who is playing chickers? –
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is preparing to formally object to Democrats’ impeachment inquiry as soon as Friday, saying it won’t cooperate with the probe because it was initiated without a vote of the House.
The White House Counsel’s Office was preparing to send a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi objecting to the form of the impeachment investigation, a person familiar with the matter said late Thursday, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the letter before its dissemination.
Pelosi last week announced that the House was beginning the formal inquiry but didn’t seek the consent of the full chamber, as was done for impeachment investigations into former Presidents Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton.

The President should challenge the inquiry. It is Soviet style secret hearing. Schiff is trashing the Constitution and playing dictator. No one but he may issue a subpoena. The person questioned may not have an attorney present. The minority (R’s) cannot present evidence or issue subpoena or even question witnesses! This a a Democrat Party hearing. The White House attorneys cannot be present. No rebuttals allowed. This IS the threat to our Democracy, due process, and fairness. This is an inquiry I you call The Inquisition a inquiry. This is not a hearing. This is not a fair fact finding mission. It’s a sham.
Kevin McCarthy’s letter to Speaker Pelosi. Points well made.

While Schifflips hollers and screams, we have three co-equal branches of government. The Legislative Branch is not boss of the Executive Branch. The courts and our history as a nation have long recognized the struggles between those two branches and take Executive Privilege and challenges between the two branches most seriously. The Executive Branch should not participate in this political witch-hunt which bars nary syllable of rebuttal or attorneys from the White House present or Republicans on the committee to call witnessesor have any say in the matter. Again, it’s a sham.
