Let The Inquisition Begin
David A. Cook CoffeeShop Weekly November 13, 2019
Wednesday will mark the beginning of the House impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. Adam Schiff, the unethical and fraudulent Chairman of the Intelligence Committee will be the dictator over these proceedings. The Trump haters will be cheering him on along with all other American hating, constitutional loathing, justice despising, truth avoiding ingrates. These proceeding should disgust every American. This is a political assassination of a President, which started before his inauguration. Hate Trump or love him, how these proceedings are going forth should set you back on your heels.
When the House voted to start, rather continue their impeachment inquiry, the resolution included stipulations that the Republicans needed to seek permission from Schiff to call witnesses, or subpoena documents. Schiff has the right under the resolution to deny any and all witnesses requested by the Republicans as well as any documents they would like to use. But surely, he would never do such a thing since he his pronouncing that this will be a process with full transparency.
Democrats have so far approved and will call three of their own witnesses, all of whom have already testified behind closed doors and are in support of the whistleblower complaint. On Wednesday, Schiff will hear testimony from William Taylor, a top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine and George Kent, deputy assistant secretary of European and Eurasian Affairs. Then on Friday, they will call Marie Yovanovitch, former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, who was fired by Trump. The Republicans on the other hand, have requested nine witnesses and to date Schiff hasn’t approved any of them.

Schiff told House members via a letter that –
“We intend to conduct these hearings with the seriousness and professionalism the public deserves. The process will be fair to the president, the committee members, and the witnesses. Above all, these hearings are intended to bring the facts to light for the American people.”
Schiff has already said he will not allow testimony from the whistleblower, Eric Ciaramella allegedly, or Hunter Biden. Both are on the Republican’s list of witnesses. Keep in mind that this entire ordeal was started by the whistleblower’s illegitimate complaint about the call that President Donald Trump had with the Ukrainian president, but the committee will not be permitted to ask him questions. This is rather convenient since it has come out that the whistleblower was in contact with Schiff, and his aide prior to the complaint being filed. It also alleged that he worked in the White House with Joe Biden. If there is one thing Schiff doesn’t want is Republicans asking questions of this person under oath about the contacts he had before and in making this complaint.
If that doesn’t set off an alarm, Schiff is also not allowing anyone to even discuss the whistleblower during the hearings. Just so you might not get it, the entire impeachment inquiry started because of a complaint by this person, but no one is allowed to question him nor even bring him up in the hearings. And Schiff has the audacity to say he wants to bring the facts to the American people.
Below is a letter sent out by Schiff:
So, let’s get a couple things straight. There is no legal obligation to keep this person identity secret. There is no legal prohibition from anyone in Congress naming Ciaramella, much less even talking about him during the hearings. How can you properly investigate or conduct and open and honest hearing when the person who’s claim is at the heart of the inquiry cannot not be addressed or even mentioned? This is a sham, but Schiff is hiding behind the ruse of protecting the person from threats of violence or intimidation. Again, the sole reason for this is because Schiff does not want anyone to ask this person under oath about his contacting Schiff before making his complaint, nor do they want questions to be asked about from whom he heard about the President’s phone call, since we was not on the call nor present when the call was made. Of course, we now know that the person who leaked the confidential information to Ciaramella was none other than Lieutenant Alexander Colonel Vindman. How do we know this? Because during the testimony of Vindman, Rep. Jim Jordan as him the question, “Who else did you talk to following the July 25th call?” immediately Vidman’s attorney and Adam Schiff jumped in to keep him from answering the question. The transcripts below show this:
“Mr. Chairman, I want to object that the question calls to reveal the whistleblower, and if there’s no other — (interruption)
Then Schiff follows up on the objection with this.
“Mr. Jordan, the minority may not care about protecting the whistleblower, but we in the majority do.”
Obviously Vindman spoke to Ciaramella. What did he talk to him about, the weather? Fact is this is the person that Ciaramella testified to that “someone” with firsthand knowledge told him about the call. Vidman is the source for the ICIG complaint and in doing so is guilty of sharing classified information with someone who is not legally allowed to receive such information. This is a crime. So much for transparency Mr. Schiff.
You would think that the American people would be wide awake concerning the democrat’s shading dealing and there “will stop at nothing” to destroy this president. Russian collusion was based on a lie. Now we have impeachment hearings that are not only baseless, but the case against the president is being built upon criminal activity of the accusers and falsehoods and outright lies of the democratic party. Let the inquisition begin!
