Giuliani: I can't sit by and watch my country be sold out by Joe Biden

The DT impeachment has served to expose the bidens. A protracted impeachment with witnesses, which the dems are breathlessly pushing for, takes the other contenders off the campaign trail, and further damages biden. It is likely that Bernie and warren not being able to campaign for several months takes them out of contention. The holding of the articles by the house times perfectly with damaging them in the kickoff primary in Iowa.

All this opens the door for somebody else and maybe is to benefit doomburg, mike Obama, or shillary. If it damages DT in the process, all the better.

Schiff said, “First of all, what was most striking to me about the president’s presentation today is, they don’t contest the basic architecture of the scheme.

They do not contest that the president solicited a foreign nation to interfere in our election, to help him cheat. I think they acknowledge, by not even contesting this, that the facts are overwhelming.

The president invited Ukraine to get involved in our election to help him cheat against Joe Biden. That is uncontested, uncontested in our presentation and uncontested in theirs.”

that folks, is the definition of insanity

I watched the full 2+ hours of the President’s defense team systematically and easily shred the Schiff / Nadler case.

No reasonable person could watch that and see that the President did anything wrong.

As for Schiff, I’m thinking this guy is psychotic. Truly. Not just a corrupt, commie SOB democrat but a psychotic individual.

Democrat senators have to be watching this in horror. You truly have no honor to watch one of your party leaders put forth such an obvious pack of made up lies and expect you to support it. Disgusting.

Adam Schiff is an example of why we have OUR Bill of Rights.

every DEM senator that is up for election in Nov 2020, and votes for impeachment, is going to have this driven in their face nonstop.

Hey, Mark Warner, go ahead, vote to lose your election.

A suggestion - share that 2 hour video link that Chellim put up on the previous page. I mean send that link to everyone you know. Then ask them to send that link to everyone they know.

I might throw a neighborhood pizza party and we can watch it together.

"Any reasonable person"......have you met a reasonable person on left over the past four years?

Their pure hatred of President Trump prevents them from being anything close to reasonable. Shiffhead is their savior and they lap it up.

sdy's post at top of page...Giuliani clip from Fox News...



Yeah...Rudy gets fired up and I'm damned glad he's on "our" team...LMAO!!! I do wish, though, he'd let Steve, Ainsley, and Brian interject with pointed questions...

at some point, a REP House member should "pull the pin"

Publicly state what is in Atkinson's testimony. Schiff be damned.

https://www.washingtontimes.co...source=socialnetwork

Democrats clamoring for more witnesses at President Trump’s impeachment trial are concealing one of those questioned in the House investigation, President Trump’s defense team says.

Rep. Adam B. Schiff, California Democrat, and other impeachment managers repeatedly talk about the 17 witnesses interviewed during the House’s secretive depositions. But they do not mention an 18th witness, Michael Atkinson , the intelligence community’s inspector general who has firsthand knowledge of the origins of the whistleblower complaint that led to the impeachment.

Members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence who conducted the interview are barred from disclosing details. But Republicans on the committee said the testimony should be heard at the president’s impeachment trial in the Senate.

“The reason it hasn’t been released is it’s not helpful to Adam Schiff. It is not helpful to the whistleblower,” said Rep. John Ratcliffe, Texas Republican, who took part in the October interview with Mr. Atkinson. “It raises credibility issues about both of them.”

The potentially exculpatory evidence for Mr. Trump has remained classified and is not part of the record for the impeachment trial.

this is the FBI phony investigation and the Mueller farce all over again

Because it remains classified, only members of the intelligence committee have seen it and Mr. Trump’s legal team is denied a copy.

Mr. Atkinson’s briefing for House lawmakers covered the origins of the whistleblower complaint that led to the two articles of impeachment. Mr. Trump’s supporters charge that the whistleblower was part of a scheme to take down the president and that the complaint was coordinated by Mr. Schiff, chairman of the intelligence committee and the lead House impeachment manager prosecuting the case.

Mr. Schiff denies he had contact with the whistleblower, but it was later revealed that his staff met with the whistleblower before the complaint was filed with Mr. Atkinson.

The whistleblower is said to be a CIA analyst assigned to the White House who has ties to the Democratic Party and Mr. Biden.

Mr. Atkinson met with Mr. Schiff and his committee in October to discuss the whistleblower complaint in detail. House and Senate members were first briefed about the complaint when news of the whistleblower became public in September.

But the closed-door committee session remains a focus of House Republicans with knowledge of the interview.

Mr. Ratcliffe said they have demanded the release of a transcript of the interview, especially because Mr. Atkinson identified other fact witnesses.

“It addresses the issue about contacts between Schiff, his staff and the whistleblower, and what the inspector general knows about that. So those are material facts that should be talked about, but Adam Schiff has prevented that,” Mr. Ratcliffe told The Washington Times.

An official on Mr. Schiff’s committee staff said the briefing with Mr. Atkinson was not conducted with the other two committees involved in the impeachment investigation, the Foreign Affairs and Oversight and Reform committees, and therefore did not qualify as a deposition.

“Contrary to what has been said,” the official said, “the chairman does not have the ability unilaterally to classify or declassify [an intelligence committee] transcript.”

Mr. Ratcliffe said that whatever Mr. Schiff wants to call it — a deposition or a transcribed interview — the information is important for the American people to see.

“His testimony was noticed three days after the impeachment inquiry was announced. There is a 179-page transcript of questions and the IG’s answers under oath … same as with the impeachment inquiry interviews and depositions,” Mr. Ratcliffe said.

It is unclear whether any part of the transcribed interview has been shared with members of the Senate Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. A spokeswoman for the committee said she will not discuss committee materials.

During a break in the trial, Sen. Joni Ernst, Iowa Republican, said House Democrats should have submitted the transcript.

Doesn't Mr. Trump have the power to de-classify?

But much like my neighbor, you're missing the point with that comment. The left hates this president and doesn't need to be won over. The Dem's needed to present this in a way they could strip away 'independent' support from President Trump and the GOP. They can't win elections and keep seats in Congress without those votes. Luckily, as usual, they failed miserably, and in some cases have all but ended the political careers for some members of their own caucus. This will be looked back on in history as an unmitigated self-inflicted disaster for the Dem party.

And what would be the penalty for a member of the committee releasing that information? Dem's leak classified info all the time and there seems to be no penalty for their behavior. What's good for the goose....

Yup.

https://www.breitbart.com/clip...truth-still-matters/

House impeachment manager Rep. Val Demings (D-FL)

“My message to the president and his lawyers, after listening to their presentation yesterday, would be regardless of what you say, the truth still matters. And the evidence against the president is overwhelming.”

“His team of lawyers can try to distort and try to deflect, but quite frankly, the best witness we have in this case is the President of the United States.”

“I do believe the testimony when you put it all together is as clear as two plus two equals four.”

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

when you have no ammunition at all, you say things like

"the truth still matters"

"two plus two equals four"

"the evidence against the president is overwhelming"

only the DEM base can "appreciate" this style of argument rather than engaging their brains and actually comprehending what is going on

REP John Ratcliffe explains more about Atkinson

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/...s-acquitted-n2560132

While presenting the Democrats' case for impeachment on the Senate floor, lead impeachment manager Adam Schiff (D-CA) kept referencing 17 witnesses who testified during the House impeachment inquiry

But there were 18 of them

Schiff and the Democrats are refusing to release the testimony of Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson, and according to Republicans who were present during Atkinson's closed-door testimony, the reason the transcript hasn't been released is because it proves both the whistleblower and House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff did not tell the truth about their contact with each other.

Rep. Ratcliffe was there for Inspector General Michael Atkinson's testimony and says the transcript is damaging to Chairman Adam Schiff and the whistleblower.

"The House managers kept putting up charts talking about the 17 witnesses," Ratcliffe began. "But there were 18 ... I was there. It's the one transcript out of 18 that hasn't been released. It's a 179-page transcript ... It's the one transcript that talks about Adam Schiff and the whistleblower

Now, everyone knows by now that Adam Schiff was not truthful about his contacts with the whistleblower. What they don't know and what's in that transcript is that the whistleblower wasn't truthful about his contacts with Adam Schiff. This whole thing started, Maria, when the whistleblower filed a complaint with the inspector general under penalty of perjury that wasn't true and correct, made representations in writing and verbally that weren't true and correct. And when we found that out and tried to get into the details of that, Adam Schiff, who was in charge of this investigation, shut it down, and now he's trying to bury that transcript."

Bartiromo noted that it wasn't the first time Chairman Adam Schiff has withheld exculpatory evidence. Despite looking at the same evidence as Chairman Schiff, Rep. Ratcliffe and former Rep. Trey Gowdy both saw abuses in the FISA warrant process used against Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, something that has since been confirmed by Inspector General Michael Horowitz's investigation. At the time, Adam Schiff denied any abuses in the FISA process and accused Republicans and the president of lying.

"That's the very same person who is now out there spinning this Ukraine hoax in his latest impeachment effort," Rep. Ratcliffe continued. The congressman said he expects the president to be acquitted "by the end of this week."

The Democrats keep insisting on new witnesses. How about we hear from the old one first?

I ordered one of the commemorative Pelosi impeachment pens but I just got an email that the delivery was going to be delayed.

Just as I predicted, the Goddam Communists are trying to Kavanaugh this impeachment trial.

Just as it was looking like Team Trump’s lawyers were starting to kick Shifty Schiff’s ass over his 3 days of bullshit, you have the NYT coming out with this shit the day prior to them resuming:

Trump Tied Ukraine Aid to Inquiries He Sought, Bolton Book Says

Pasig,

when I saw your post above, my first thought was NSC.

and now:

https://www.breitbart.com/poli...ns-by-nsc-officials/

A source close to the Trump administration informs Breitbart News that Army Lt. Col. Yevgeny Vindman, a senior ethics lawyer for the National Security Council (NSC), is in charge of reviewing all publications by current and former NSC officials.

The official added that Yevgeny Vindman could have seen former National Security Advisor John Bolton’s draft manuscript after it was submitted for prepublication review at the end of December.

The review is a standard process that allows the NSC to review book manuscripts, op-eds, or any other material for any classified material to be eliminated before publication.

The New York Times reported Sunday evening that Bolton’s draft book manuscript, which had been submitted to the NSC for prepublication review on Dec. 30, alleged that President Trump told Bolton in August 2019 that he wanted to withhold security assistance to Ukraine until it agreed to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, among others.

It was not clear if the Times had seen the Bolton manuscript; its sources were “multiple people” who “described Mr. Bolton’s account of the Ukraine affair.”

Bolton’s lawyer, Chuck Cooper, issued a statement in which he said: “It is clear, regrettably, from The New York Times article published today that the prepublication review process has been corrupted.” He did not confirm or deny the Times‘ reporting on the content of the manuscript.

Yevegeny Vindman is the identical twin brother of Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who is one of Democrats’ key witnesses in the impeachment of President Donald Trump . The brothers have offices across from each other.

Alexander Vindman told the House Intelligence Committee in his closed-door deposition that he told his brother, Yevgeny, about President Trump’s July 25th call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

In November, Yevgeny Vindman attended his brother’s public testimony at the House impeachment inquiry.

The Wall Street Journal described Vindman as “an NSC lawyer handling ethics issues.” Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman described his brother as the “lead ethics official” at the NSC. A U.S. Office of Government Ethics web page, updated on Friday, identifies Yevegeny Vindman as the “Alternate Designated Agency Ethics Official” for the NSC.

and the prick Bolton. No matter who leaked, Bolton is trying to rev up the phony DEM impeachment attempt w his book. He is as small minded and vengeful as McCain was.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

https://www.breitbart.com/poli...d-to-new-york-times/

Chuck Cooper, an attorney for former National Security Adviser John Bolton, said that Bolton’s book manuscript was submitted to the National Security Council for a standard review for classified information, but its contents appear to have been leaked to the New York Times.

How many Inspector Generals do we have? Seems like every time something pops up, we have an Inspector General for that situation.
