Impeachment Hearing in Judiciary Committee
This week, the impeachment farce finally moved out of the Intelligence Committee, and into the House Judiciary Committee. On Wednesday, Chairman Jerry Nadler invited impeachment scholars to testify on what constitutes an “impeachable offense.” Democrats invited three witnesses, who believed that an “impeachable offense” was “anything done by President Donald Trump,” and one witness invited by Republicans, who was a rare voice of sanity in the hearing.
During my five minutes of questioning, I pointed out that all three of the Democrats’ witnesses were extensive donors to Democrat politicians, including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Elizabeth Warren.
The Democrat witness’s extreme bias against President Trump was on full display during the hearing; one of the witnesses, Mr. Noah Feldman, wrote articles entitled “The President’s Wiretap Tweets Raise Risk of Impeachment” and “Mar-A-Lago Ad Belongs in Impeachment File.” Their anti-Trump animus started long before the Ukraine call occurred. Another witness mocked the President’s 13-year-old son, which was absolutely uncalled for.
My full exchange is below:
NEXT STEPS
On Thursday, Speaker Pelosi recommended that Chairman Nadler move forward with articles of impeachment against the president. This comes as no surprise, because Democrats have wanted to impeach President Trump since the day he was elected. Since then, Democrats have manufactured an endless litany of “scandals” in the hopes of overturning the results of the 2016 election.
The exchange between President Trump and President Zelensky of Ukraine demonstrated no impeachable conduct. This is patently clear — but ascertaining the truth has never been Democrats’ goal. If they were not trying to impeach the President for his Ukraine call, they would be trying to impeach him for something else. Democrats’ relentless and obsessive hatred of the President has completely crippled their ability to govern and to deliver bipartisan solutions for the American people.
At a time we could (and should) be passing trade deals, lessening the opioid crisis, securing our southern border, and keeping our economy roaring, Democrats are instead blinded by partisan hatred. Their zeal for impeachment reflects poorly on Congress, and history will not look warmly on their frivolous antics.
On Thursday night, I discussed the impeachment sham with Laura Ingraham on Fox News. Watch it here:
