    Default Rep. McCaul on Dems' impeachment 'fishing expedition'

    Rep. McCaul on Dems' impeachment 'fishing expedition'

    "The top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee told “America’s Newsroom” that there was “no evidence of a quid pro quo” in President Trump’s phone call with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky on July 25.

    “I think it’s a bit of a fishing expedition at this point in time,” said Rep. Michael McCaul, of Texas, on the Democrats' push toward impeachment.

    He faulted House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, a California Democrats, for conducting the investigation "in the most secret room in the Capitol."

    "At least have a vote on the House floor to move forward with this. It defies democracy. ... All Adam Schiff is doing right now is building a secret record in his SCIF in a one-sided process to move forward toward impeachment.

    McCaul, a former federal prosecutor in the Department of Justice's Public Integrity Section, said Trump's phone call was reviewed by those officials, who purportedly found no criminal violations."

    In secret, behind closed doors.

    No due process, no confronting his accusers.

    Why is Schiff allowed to hide documents,leak parts of transcripts and control witnesses and subpoena?
    How can anyone call this remotely fair? Schiff is running a Star Chamber!

    Since this is all political, republicans need to up their game.

    Inflict political damage on Schiff [and by extension, the inquisition] by voting to censure Schiff. Democrats will table it, but the damage will be done.

    And Schiff ROUNDLY deserves to be censured. It’s way overdue.
    Coup has started. First of many steps. Impeachment will follow ultimately~WB attorney Mark Zaid, January 2017

    Why does this surprise anyone? This is the standard play by the left when they have the majority. Remember Obamacare same thing Republicans kept out of the behind closed door meetings. And who can every forget the memorable "We have to vote on it to see what's in it."

    The sexual predator, Bill Clinton, was impeached for perjury and disbarred.

    President Trump will be impeached for attempting to ensure that the billions of dollars going to the Ukraine were not going to a corrupt government...and the corrupt Biden and Son.

    Nor should we forget what affordable care act architect Jonathan Gruber had to say about the bills passage. Essentially blaming the "stupidity of the american voter" for passing obamacare:



    Well Jonathan, It appears that Donald Trump is making you eat your own words. It's about time, I must say!

    Word on the street is that the democratic party is foundering. Could this impeachment turn out to be the death blow for the liberal democrats?

    Isnt it amazing how democrats try to flip the script on the greatest president since Abraham Lincoln? But yeah, the whole Jeffrey Epstein thing was not good for Bill Clintons already tarnished reputation. On the impeachment front, not to worry. Trump will come out of this smelling like a rose.

    In addition to his black Gulfstream, private helicopter and twin-engine Cessna 421, Epstein also owns a Boeing 727-200—a passenger jet with a seating capacity of nearly 200, modified for private use, including a Bloomberg terminal that lets him conduct much of his finance work while airborne. Locals dubbed Epstein's 727 the "Lolita Express" due to the frequent arrival of apparently underage women to Little Saint James, a nod to the Vladimir Nabokov novel about a middle-aged literature professor who justifies the repeated rape and sexual assault of a 12-year-old girl.

    Indeed.

    The political and personal persecution of President Trump and his family is being closely watched by Middle Americans.

    These reprehensible, far left, radical, Democrat Socialists have overreached and will pay the price in 2020.
