Impeachment by Public Opinion – Oh Noes: Adam Schiff’s Terribly, Horribly, Painfully Transparent Back-Tracking…

If you have liberal family members around for this weeks Thanksgiving feast and celebration it would be wise to understand the scale of their disappointment, even if they have yet to recognize it.  Perhaps the best course will be just smiling.

…”I want to discuss this with my constituents and colleagues before I make a final judgment on this,” Schiff said.

Amid diminishing public support for the impeachment fiasco; and with more Americans starting to realize the past two months were an abject lesson in political narrative building and legislative manipulation; HPSCI impeachment committee chairman Adam Schiff transmits a letter today to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler.

If Schiff were in the MMA venue this letter, describing the HPSCI report to the House Judiciary Committee (HJC), would be a double tap to the mat:

Well, there’s a slightly less than strong impeachment position: Impeachment by “inference”.. he says.  Previously Mueller and Weissmann attempted to prosecute President Trump, the fictitious horse-thief, for attempting to obstruct his hanging; now Schiff is inferring guilt because President Trump didn’t present alibis for his whereabouts when the fictitious horse wasn’t stolen…. Yup, it’s looking like a fail.

Schiff continues:

Wait,… President Trump has done terrible, horrible, dastardly stuff that the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, says makes President Donald J Trump an “imposter” in the office.  But now the assembly of the three committees need to figure out whether such imposter behavior is “compatible with the office of the presidency”?

See the obfuscation?

Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler and Lawfare are in “political extraction mode”.  That is, trying to walk backwards to the impeachment exit and only stepping into their prior footprints so that the left-wing nuts cannot identify their retreat.

You can read the Schiff letter to Nadler HERE.

Oh man, the Democrat base is going to go bananas if the House doesn’t have an impeachment vote…. and yet Pelosi could lose her gavel if the House has an impeachment vote that results in two foolish House Managers showing up to the Senate chamber with legally limp articles of impeachment.

    The President should have one of those famous Mar-A-Lago Chocolate Cakes delivered to Pelosi’s office. He could attach a little note:

    Poor me. It looks like I won’t get to see Shiela Jackson Lee perform as one of the House Impeachment Managers in the Senate trial. She has the remarkable capacity to do that during the day and the same night sit on the aisle in front of the cameras and shake the President’s hand at his SOTU address. She is an extraordinarily annoying congressperson.

    I rarely have the chance to listen to Rush but was able to do so today for a little bit.

    I thought he nailed it with his Pelosi impersonation IF she chose not to send articles of impeachment to the senate. In other words, she’d blame Republicans and say for the good of the country we’ll just need to wait until the election, can’t keep my senators on the presidential campaign sideline, etc. etc.

    Rush put forth a very compelling argument and now based on Schiff’s for Brains comments above, this scenario becomes more plausible.

    Pelosi is a very good political tactician – she knows she’s holding a losing hand. The senate will be able to turn the tables on the Dems.

    No conviction. No presidential senators on the campaign trail and a lot of corrupt dirty laundry that could be exposed. Biden will be destroyed in the process.

    Perhaps a censure on Christmas Eve? I wouldn’t necessarily bet against it.

        I don’t think the Dem’s current efforts are aimed at conservative voters (lost cause) at all.

          Personally, I think it is all about poisoning their own jury pools. If they convince at least one idiot out of 12 jurors that Trump is really the guilty person — not them — then they can stay out of prison. Their goal is to convince all the wild-eyed partisans and gullible people they can reach before they are even indicted. That will give a prosecutor a nearly impossible mountain to climb to get convictions.

          If they happen to win an election or two, that will just be a bonus.

When your weakness is your candidate then you have to convince the public that the opposition is horrible.

They retirement is based on the average of their three highest years of salary, times, number of year, times a multiplier. The $174,000 for life is an internet hoax.

        In their view, it should be a one-party state. Presidential elections should be a ceremonial passing of titular power from one interest group to another. It was Hillary’s turn; she had no platform because she shouldn’t have required one. Now Mayor Pete’s clique might get their turn: again, the lack of qualifications is a quibble.

        The real government would be supplied by bureaucrats and judges: professionals who will rule us for life. Schiff’s hearings were fatuous from a legalistic perspective: the Democrats had no real crimes to allege. They barely tried. Instead, Trump’s crime is being anti-social and refusing to accept our true masters, the bureaucrats. Notice the absurd allegation that Trump’s foreign policy is a “shadow” policy. Obscure Deep-Staters like Vindman make our real foreign policy.

        The ancient Greeks had a ceremony called Ostracism. The citizens of the city-state gathered and took a vote to settle the fate an unpopular neighbor. Stones or marbles were used as ballots: hence the term black-balled. The Democrats want to ostracize our President, whether or not they understand their motivation.

        Notice the silly declaration from de Blasio that Trump is not welcome back in New York. And notice the Trumps have complied, and relocated to Florida. Even the Russian Collusion hoax was an indirect expression of a sense among Democrats that Trump is not “one of us”.

    The draw back is that the charge is rejected with no trial. The SenaTe nor the House could lose control of a run away trial that is use to drain the swamp.

    Three cheers. I was sure they did not have the ability to pull back from the brink.

    But I do ask this, if lawfare started this the day of Mueller’s big fail, what is lawfare starting the day of Schifty’s big fail?

    Or are they giving up for now to concentrate on winning elections? (Especially since continuing would help them lose bigly.)

    This will prove to the world that POTUS Donald J. Trump knows how to fight. The coup traitors are in retreat. I predict President Trump will conduct scorched earth warfare against every single one of them as they scurry for cover.

    I think Schiff, Pelosi and the Lawfare Group are stalling for time. They want to know, how those court cases turnout before making a final decision. The hidden Obstruction of Justice documentation left behind, from the Special Council. And, getting President Trump’s chief of staff to testify. It seems probable that the Schiff, Pelosi and the Lawfare Group are over-committed and must proceed.

    And, I wonder, if President Trump’s lawyers can get the Lawfare Group charged with a FARA violation while we wait? This could be the key to turning back the clock to the beginning.

    The first time my liberal family brought this up, way back when it first started, I LAUGHED obnoxiously and told them that, first, no one has actually accused the president of any actual crime; second, what they seem to be insinuating he did (arm-twisting for foreign aid on something that would be politically expedient) is something that every national politician does 10 times before breakfast; third, probably BECAUSE every politician does that 10 times before breakfast, the SCOTUS rejected an “implied” quid pro quo standard, when it overturned the bribery conviction of former VA governor Bob McDonnell; and, four, if Trump is such an obvious and wanton criminal, why choose to go all in on a scandal in which the only smoking gun evidence implicates the democrat front-runner?

    I look forward to laughing even harder this Thanksgiving. African American support at 34%. Swing district dems jumping ship. An embarrassing spectacle promised in the Senate, right during the run up to the democrat primaries. And that’s even assuming we get nuthin from the IG report.

    Hope they enjoy their turkey. I’ll be enjoying mine.

        Doh! (choking on my popcorn … how could I forget)

        I think Sidney Powell wants an order to compel BEFORE dismissal, to drag all of the evidence into the public domain (that’s how confident she’s become that there WILL be a dismissal), so we might only hope to see an order for production by T-day …. but yeah, THAT would really be something to be grateful for.

    Schiff has painted himself into a corner. He only looked at the offense and now finds there is a really P.O.ed 500 pound gorilla facing him. Trump warned Pelosi and Schiff they would lose big time if they pursued impeachment. Now he is the one holding all the high cards. He would love to see Hunter Biden being grilled on live TV about his Ukraine money.

    The Demoncrat politicians keep staging their performance to end just before going back to their ‘constituents’. They leave and return with news that the ‘constituents’ want whatever the politicians plan to do. I believe they go and try to get their ‘constituents’ brainwashed into supporting what the politicians have intended to do. I don’t believe the ‘constituents’ agree and the people really want the democrats to get off the dog and pony show, and get some work done. This new phase Schiffty says is to consult his ‘constituents’ is no different. Meanwhile the ‘constituents’ are getting nothing and are turning on the democrat politicians. I predict they will either come back lying and say the ‘constituents’ want them to proceed, or they will listen to the people and give some excuse that they are tableing further action in the best interest of the country… They are not getting much support financially and are expending all they have promoting this fiasco. The lack of new donations tells a story that their ‘constituents’ are fed up. This whole attempt was to get rid of Our President and thereby stop the investigation into their own corruption. It was never because the ‘constituents’ wanted to impeach.

    There’s a clear case to be made that Schiff has fried a circuitboard in his frontal lobe. “…overwhelming, unchallenged, and damning”?! “…the evidence of wrongdoing … is clear and hardly in dispute”?!

    To call this guy a liar is an insult to liars. He’s cracked.

    What a strange letter. I fully expect them to write a report that lists out the specific charges for the articles of impeachment…so all HJC would have to do is stamp it, vote it out of committee, and send it to the floor. I don’t see anything in this letter to change that approach. It lists three main charges: conditioning official acts based on benefits to POTUS’ re-election, abuse of power, and obstruction. It states these as irrefutable facts.

    It sounds to me like their intent is still to deliver this report to HJC, which is going to write at least three articles of impeachment. These get voted out of committee and sent to the floor for a vote before Christmas.

    I can see how this letter can be construed as backing away from impeachment, particularly in the context of Schiff’s TV interview yesterday. But I can also see how the House Democrats are so utterly unhinged that they plan to move forward with articles of impeachment court cases be damned. In effect they’re saying that there are no hard and fast rules for impeachment. HPSCI is going to make a series of charges. HJC is going to rubber stamp those charges and vote out articles of impeachment. There is nothing – nothing – in the law that requires HJC to hold more hearings or let POTUS lawyers cross examine witnesses. There is nothing – nothing – in the Constitution or US Code that requires a full House vote to initiate proceedings. In fact, Schiff basically says this when he says that this is too important to be held up in the courts. He’s saying to Nadler, “Ram it through using our report, which is conclusive.”

    Could they belaying the groundwork for a tactical retreat? Maybe. I think it’s more likely they’re setting the table for even more “impeachment hearings” in 2020 to try and damage Trump. Maybe they get lucky and win a few court cases to license their fish expeditions into Trump’s taxes or to re-litigate Mueller. I could see them doing that as their fall back.

    But a plain reading of this whack job letter is Schiff is saying full speed ahead, damn the torpedoes.

    I’ll take, it was nothing but a bluff right from the beginning Alex, for the win. Just like I had been saying for 2 months. They had NOTHING. It was the third frameup attempt built out of cotton candy. They had to keep the “I” word in the news for as long as they could possibly drag it out with CNN as their pimp. But that’s all it ever was for their rabid base.

    Pelosi was way too far out over her skis and kept hoping SOMEBODY among the Trump hater hand-picked “witnesses” would produce a miracle crime for her that nobody knew about. The hearings were a HAIL MARY under the guise of “following the evidence.” Instead with the ludicrously weak case they had to begin with, it was a democrat demolition derby Armageddon.

    Then in addition when John Durham’s review went criminal, I knew the inqueachment (cross between inquisition and impeachment) was dead in the water. The REAL collusion was now going to be exposed making their fantasy of Trump committing bribery, even MORE ludicrous.

    Pelosi was left standing on the 2nd story of a vacant lot and Schiff just waved the white flag.

      Oh, they’ve learned all right. But hope spring eternal. And they can’t stop trying now. Because they believe that they’ll all hang if they don’t take him down.

      Idiots. If they’d just accepted the 2016 results and treated him as merely another political opponent instead of an existential threat they might have had a better chance at 2020. He did offer them a laurel branch. But, projecting their own attitudes, they kept on trying to destroy him because they were sure he intended to do the same to them.

    Suppose after the 2020 election the House picks up enough seats to turn republican. Would they be so brave to decide whether Adam Schiff’s “behavior is compatable” with the chairmanship of the USHPS Committee on Intelligence? Then decide to impeach HIM for committing a crime or other acts of impropriety. I can almost see him now. His face waxing red with wraith.
