Shawshank prophecy? ‘Judgment cometh…and that, right soon‘
Barr, and Huber, and Durham…oh my!
Justice Dep’t investigation results are coming to a head; and Democrats are nervous.
Impeach is just another word for Obstruct.
Get ready for dueling subpoenas…they can’t afford exposure: impeach is all they got.
But, Democrats should remember: the Constitution says nothing about ‘high Crimes…
…and HEARSAY’
We called it over two weeks ago.
American Thinker article proves BlueCollar point – Biden committed political extortion.
“…yes, just by the public record we already have, Joe Biden, his son, their bag-man Devon Archer, and possibly John Kerry likely violated 18 USC 1951, the dreaded Hobbs Act, the federal anti-extortion law. Hobbs has a really nasty bite to it for public officials, because it prohibits not just bribery, but merely the collecting of political tribute under color of official right. A couple of important things to remember about Hobbs: “Color of official right” applies only to public officials while they are in office.”
“Biden needed only to take an action that involved Burisma and its owner, and intervening with Ukraine over Mr. Shokin is more than enough to meet the elements of the law. Under the Hobbs Act, it doesn’t matter if Mr. Shokin was actually getting anywhere or whether the ultimate disposition of Burisma would have been at all different. The Hobbs Act was specifically written to punish elected officials who broadly trade on their offices, and boy, does it ever. Rest assured that Mr. Barr and Mr. Durham understand this only too well.
One more thing to consider: The guy who is really at the center of the scandal is Devon Archer, seen here in the famous golfing photo. Joe is now trying to deny knowing about Burisma and his son, but there is a mountain of evidence to the contrary, including Hunter’s own admissions. Remember, Hunter Biden is a wreck of a man from constant drug use, and Joe himself is too stupid to put together million-dollar bribery schemes.
The man who did is Devon Archer, who snagged his own job on the Burisma board almost immediately after John Kerry’s State Department put in the Poroshenko regime in 2014. Then he brought along his buddy, Hunter Biden, where they both made millions. Archer is a longtime close aid to John Kerry and a business partner with Kerry’s stepson, the billionaire playboy Chris Heinz. It’s also true that Kerry is Joe Biden’s closest Washington friend and ally. No wonder Archer, with such intimate connections to the two men, Kerry and Biden, whom Obama chose to oversee American aid to Ukraine, was on the first plane he could find to Kiev to offer his “services” in 2014.”
It is indeed ironic that the hoax collusion probe initiated against a sitting President in an effort to delegitimize a national election has exposed the real colluders as Democrats.
PROVABLY SO.
Now, efforts by House Democrats to conduct a circus…err…sham ‘inquiry’ will, as well, blow up in their faces, with a twist: their efforts are legally considered obstruction.
“Obstruction happens when there is tampering with documents or witnesses.” Further, (for Congress) there must be a formal inquiry or investigation, and neither is in process because House Democrats don’t want Republicans to gain powers by initiating one.
BUT – there are Justice Dept. investigations in process; and by playing their sham inquiry game calling ‘witnesses’ to hearings, it seems House Democrats are obstructing, since, by their acts in those hearings they are meddling with documents and witnesses.
As well, in this latest gossip-monger…errr…‘whistleblower’ situation Adam Schiff has once again proven himself a liar, and that while a FACT WITNESS in the process.
We don’t pretend to be legal experts, but it would seem pretty obvious that
…YEAH – OBSTRUCTION IS OCCURRING…by DEMOCRATS!
Attorney General Barr: where are the INDICTMENTS?
As the inestimable Andy McCarthy points out, the tragi-comedy being played out in the House Democrats’ narrative is nothing more than FakeNews-enabled farce, writ large.
“Under federal law, the offense of obstructing Congress applies when “any inquiry or investigation is being had by either House, or any committee of either House.” Again, neither the House nor any of its committees has voted to conduct an impeachment inquiry. There is no formal impeachment proceeding to obstruct. Furthermore, the letters in question are not actually demands carrying the compulsory force of law; technically, they are just informal requests. No one is required to comply with a mere request, and refusing to do so is not evidence of anything, let alone obstruction.”
Democrats (with complicit media) falsely portray an impeachment inquiry based on the charge of ‘obstruction’, but federal law requires an investigation or inquiry be in force…
…not be faked as in play.
There is no formal congressional investigation, and an inquiry must be vote-approved.
But to start an investigation or inquiry puts Republicans in play with subpoena-power; last thing Democrats want is to have what they’ve done exposed by subpoenas.
What they have is the illusion of an inquiry, based on unfounded obstruction fantasy.
Unfortunately, their FakeNews allies can hard-push the narrative with low-info crowds.
In just one more example of FakeNews, the Hill headlines: “House questions Volker as impeachment probe ramps up” but only Democrats could ask questions.
Thus, the headline implies a bi-partisan effort…that was actually one-sided.
Class dismissed.
Lost in the wailing over the President looking into election-meddling and corruption of U.S. officials and private individuals involved in overseas deals, is this salient point…
…those ranting about ‘using investigating for political gain’ are doing it themselves.
Why is it okay to fly a false-flag impeachment based on unsubstantiated hearsay and innuendo, but not okay to investigate provable acts of election meddling & corruption?
The frenzied wails from Democrats rise in direct proportion to probes focused on…
…THEM.
FakeNews pushes the narrative that the President and his Justice Dept people talking to various foreign leaders about election-meddling chicanery is for his ‘political gain’.
Got that? Evidently, dirty tricks are only probe-worthy when committed by the GOP.
There’s only one way to describe looking into Democrat chicanery as political gain…
...SERENDIPITOUS.
Sucks for Democrats; but if they hadn’t committed the acts, they wouldn’t be targets of the very investigations being conducted that will soon expose their wrongdoing…
…just before an upcoming election.
FakeNews will need to go into overdrive to spin their way out of this reckoning.
When lies are needed to support an issue, is it really an issue?
Breitbart THEN: “Flashback: Adam Schiff Claimed ‘We Have Not Spoken Directly with the Whistleblower’” Washington Examiner NOW: “Adam Schiff needs to go”
Here’s the link to a video of Schiff’s lie.
Seems Schiff and staff met with the gossip-monger (whistleblower?) months before.
Got that? Committee chairman Schiff, conducting a ‘pre’ inquiry for impeachment, lied about meeting the author of hearsay allegations that are the reason for the ‘pre’ inquiry.
And we all remember this (as reported by the Washington Times): “Schiff called out for fabricating Ukraine call transcript in opening remarks”…opening remarks (at the hearing) where he ‘read from a call transcript’ but was a made-up blatant lie, that the President ‘demanded the Ukrainian leader make up dirt on Joe Biden, 7 times’.
Serious impeachment hearings procedurally start in the House Judiciary committee; the Democrats are starting this one in the Intel committee, so they can keep doors closed.
Wouldn’t you think anyone with solid cause for impeachment would want open doors?
Serious impeachment inquiries are voted to be conducted, which allows BOTH Parties to issue subpoenas; conducting a non-voted ‘pre’ inquiry format blocks Republicans.
Wouldn’t you want an opportunity to subpoena witnesses in your pre-trial hearings?
No HONEST Democrat should accept this unethical chicanery from their Party.
When you have to LIE, HIDE, and OBSTRUCT fair inquiries…is it really an inquiry?
Shouldn’t there be a necessarily competent effort to launch a ‘righteous’ impeachment?
Forget dishonesty…why would any Democrat vote for these incompetent people?
Nothing we can write adds to this brilliant article at American Thinker:
“‘Gaslighting’ is a term well-known in the psychological counseling community, especially among those dealing with narcissistic personality disorders. It refers to the technique used by a narcissist to convince his victim that what he sees with his own eyes is not true, and hence, he must be going crazy. If the victim catches the narcissist in the act of some foul deed or betrayal, the narcissist will deny his guilt with such passion and apparent sincerity that the victim is tempted to believe him, despite the evidence of his own eyes. The technique is especially effective as a long-term strategy — the victim or enabler is worn down by repeated assertions that what he just saw or knows to be true is actually false, to the point where he doesn’t have the strength to resist anymore.
Democrats are in hissy fits over protecting identification of their gossip-monger (wrongly labeling the person as a ‘whistle-blower’) but proven liars aren’t worthy of protection.
Comparing the actual call transcript to the gossipmonger transcript proves that point.
First, changing requirements to allow hearsay AFTER a complaint’s filed is telling, and that’s what the Intel-Community Inspector General did to provide this gossip its legs.
The ICIG is, himself, a deep-stater…it’s no surprise such deceitful actions were taken.
But, even beyond that, we learn from the actual call transcript the complaints are lies.
The gossip-monger complaints specify the following:
And, yet, as can be plainly seen by reading the ACTUAL transcript:
Real whistleblowers may need to be protected…
…liars, especially those only relying on hearsay, shouldn’t be protected.
(And congressional Democrats willing to base impeachment on such tripe as this are themselves, by debasing the Constitution and their office, deserving of impeachment)
