House Judiciary Committee (HJC) Chairman Jerry Nadler, together with Lawfare contracted impeachment agents Barry Berke and Norm Eisen (pictured below), are attempting to reframe a collapsing impeachment and pull-in White House participation.
Chairman Nadler has announced a December 4th hearing with a panel of democrat selected constitutional lawyers and legal ‘experts’, to discuss the procedural framework of an impeachment process. As Nadler states: “Our first task is to explore the framework put in place to respond to serious allegations of impeachable misconduct”. So the HJC initial objective to build their narrative is to explain what the impeachment process is about.
This is transparently an attempt by Nadler/Lawfare to give legitimacy to an illegitimate political exercise. The hearing purpose is framed as a trap to pull the White House in, and thereby create the optics of constitutional legitimacy. Strong caution is advised and I would not be surprised to see the White House refuse to participate. Here’s why:
With the House investigative portion of resolution 660 complete, per Adam Schiff and a yet invisible report from the HPSCI committee submitted, either the House Judiciary should follow their own process or not. The White House and the minority have not even seen the one-sided report mandated by the House Impeachment Inquiry Resolution.
My advice to the White House would be to respond to Nadler’s letter by informing him the House “Impeachment Report” authorized by resolution 660 has not yet been delivered; therefore, without a basis for the HJC to consider the validity of the first phase, it would be presumptuous to engage in a second phase framework exercise without the origination material described by the House Democrats’ own procedure.
The HJC is putting the proverbial illegitimate cart before the invisible horse. Hammer them with this ! How can the HJC construct a hearing on the framework of impeachment without the results from the impeachment inquiry report?
Here’s the Nadler Letter:
Obviously Lawfare is rushing. They are rushing to push out this hearing on December 4th before the DOJ Inspector General drops a report on December 9th that would weaken their impeachment narrative.
Here is the originating House Resolution 660:
.
















US President Donald Trump said that his administration will begin designating Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations, citing their rule in narco- and human trafficking.
In an interview with conservative pundit Bill O’Reilly that aired on Tuesday, President Trump said the move had already been in the works for three months.
“They will be designated … I have been working on that for the last 90 days. You know, designation is not that easy, you have to go through a process, and we are well into that process,” the president said.
Asked whether he would “start hitting them with drones and things like that,” however, the president demurred:
I don’t want to say what I’m going to do, but they will be designated.

This may be a very positive signal that possible Barr has stepped in to stop the sentencing date to allow the IG findings and maybe some indictments to take its spot.
Can’t wait for a Sundance update

They racing around in panic mode right now. I think when they hatched this scheme to impeach the President over the Ukraine phone call they totally underestimated the Joe / Hunter Biden pay for play. That was a scheme to siphon off money from U.S. taxpayers, launder it and put it in their pockets. This will be further exposed in a senate impeachment trial, which is why they don’t want to do one now! If Ukraine is one instance of this I’m sure there are many more. Didn’t BHO just publicly turn his back on Biden’s candidacy? Wonder why?

What has really got them “in panic mode” is the fact that the Ukranians recently elected a President – a comedian, but no joker – who also promised to “drain the swamp.” And he’s doing it, and there is no American POTUS to give him six hours.
Yes, Joe Biden (and Barak Obama) briefly succeeded in having a nosy prosecutor fired, but the investigation has since been re-opened … and the prosecutor in question gave a lengthy deposition under oath.
The US Government is now honoring the ratified treaty which we have with Ukraine, promising mutual cooperation in law enforcement, particularly with regards to corruption. And there’s nothing that these Washingtonian criminals can do to stop it.

All those optimists claiming the Dem’s impeachment travesty is over, forgot Yogi’s wisdom. It ain’t over till it’s over.”
But in the Dem’s hate filled world, it will never be over as long as P Trump is in the WH and probably long after that if they ever regain the WH. The conniving Nadler letter almost made me nauseous over the absurdity and recklessness of it all. I hope more independents will have a similar feeling as these show trials continue well into the New Year. These fools have to be purged from office and kept as far away from power as possible.

The plot against President Trump grows ever more legalistic, and ever more futile, for two reasons. First, the obvious one: no crimes have been committed. Second, and the far more profound reason: the satisfaction and the closure the Democrats seek is not to be found in an American lawbook.
Secular leftists fancy themselves progressive: they are leading us along Hegel’s one-way arc of history to paradise. In reality, they are atavists, marching us swiftly backwards, driven by superstitious even primal impulses. The environmental movement is a return to the pre-Christian worship of the natural world.
Leftism itself is a religion: their campaign against blasphemy has been renamed political correctness. The ancient Athenians executed the great thinker Socrates. His crime? Not believing in the Gods of the State.
Trump is a heretic, and a threat to the Secular Leftist State, because, like Socrates, he can attract many followers with his oratory, and foment disbelief and disloyalty to Leftism.
If you’re a leftist true believer, who kid themselves that they’re hyper-rational, like the dunce Ocasio-Cortez, Trump beomes an existential threat.
Sadly, if the Democrats succeed in impeaching and convicting our President, and even more so if they fail, Trump, and probably his family, will be hounded forever. He’s already abandoned New York City, and I pray they can remain within the borders of the USA. That is far from certain, and many challenges loom.
