The Democrats’ Sham Investigation

Excerpt: The Judiciary Committee, traditionally the “impeachment committee,” didn’t call any fact witnesses. The first hearing consisted of three partisan Democrat activists and liberal law professor Jonathan Turley, who has criticized the current impeachment effort. The other Judiciary Committee hearing consisted of the majority and minority counsels answering questions about the Schiff report. Schiff wasn’t required by Nadler to testify about his own report. A simple question screams out for attention.  (...) Why didn’t Schiff testify about his own report? Why weren’t Republicans allowed to call a single witness in the House impeachment hearings? What have Democrats tried to hide? What exculpatory evidence are these Democrats trying to omit from the record? A prosecutor who omits potentially exculpatory information from the judge, jury, and defense team might face serious sanctions. There has been lots of talk about fairness and fulfilling the House’s constitutional responsibilities and the rule of law. How is preventing potentially important information from being presented to the jury living up to those important responsibilities? Democrats don’t want Schiff to testify because that might force him to explain whether the “whistleblower” worked with two of Schiff’s new hires at the National Security Council. [I’m not entirely sure Cross–the author–is 100% correct, but he makes a good case. Good enough? We’ll see. I suspect it will largely depend on the Senate rules and whether or not they allow continued Democrat fishing expeditions. If they require the vote to be solely based on the “evidence”–which is mostly allegations with no supporting facts–then the outcome will be a swift acquittal. Ron P.]
