Schiff Releases Ukrainegate Impeachment Report, ‘One-Sided Sham’
Dec. 3, 2019 (EIRNS)—The 300-page report issued by Rep. Adam Schiff’s Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on the impeachment inquiry concerning President Donald Trump, released today and forwarded to the House Judiciary Committee, is all an effort to obscure the simple fact that Schiff’s investigation proved, abundantly that: all the meetings the Ukrainians sought with the President were held, the military aid at issue was released, Ukraine did no favors for Donald Trump and opened no investigations, and this was all clear by August, well before the bogus whistleblower initiated the current round of sedition against the sitting American President.
As the White House put it,
“At the end of a one-sided sham process, Chairman Schiff and the Democrats utterly failed to produce any evidence of wrongdoing by President Trump.... This report reflects nothing more than their frustrations. Chairman Schiff’s report reads like the ramblings of a basement blogger straining to prove something when there is evidence of nothing.”
Schiff goes on and on about how the President endangered U.S. national security and that of “an ally” at war “with Russia” and pushed Russian disinformation by seeking an investigation of what was provably 2016 Ukrainian intervention into the U.S. election on behalf of Hillary Clinton. It is highly probable that the bogus whistleblower himself participated in this Ukrainian effort, based on the outline of his activities described Nov. 27 by Scott Ritter in Consortium News (“The ‘Whistleblower’ and the Politicization of Intelligence”).
The Republican response, released last night ahead of Schiff’s shoveling of the barnyard, begins with the obvious: “On November 8, 2016 nearly 63 million Americans from around the country chose Donald Trump to be the 45th President of the United States. Now, less than a year before the next presidential election, 231 House Democrats in Washington, D.C. are trying to undo the will of the American people. As one Democrat admitted, the pursuit of this extreme course of action is because they want to stop President Trump’s re-election.... The Democrats are trying to impeach a duly elected President based on the accusations and assumptions of unelected bureaucrats who disagreed with President Trump’s policy initiatives and processes.... They are trying to impeach President Trump because some unelected bureaucrats chafed at an elected President’s ‘outside the beltway’ approach to diplomacy.”
On Dec. 4, the Democrats plan to test the limits of American boredom by presenting four law professors, three Democrats who are participants in the “Resistance” and a lonely, but presumably sane person, Prof. Jonathan Turley of George Washington University, to discuss the historical background of impeachment.
