The
Democratic party continues into their third straight year of
attempting to drive President Trump from office by employing
unconstitutional means. By deliberately ignoring fundamental principles
of fairness it constitutes a full-frontal assault on the procedural
protections inherent in the “due process” clause of the
Constitution.
Operating
in the shadows of secrecy, the democratic leadership have
commandeered impeachment power by anointing themselves as the sole
determinants. First it was Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler who
claimed he was presiding over a “formal impeachment proceeding.”
Now, Adam Schiff, House Intelligence Chairman and front-man against
the President for the past three years says the same. What is going
on here? No one can say and if they try, they will face the
consequences.
In
our Republic, the principles of transparency and accountability
demand that the actions and decisions of elected officials be open to
public scrutiny. No one knows what’s going on behind those closed
doors. Citizens have a right to know what their government is doing.
Secrecy corrupts the process and delegitimizes the so-called results.
Yet they continue and the select few who are present or have access
to information have been threatened with eviction or an ethics
investigation should they disclose to anyone what is happening.
ALSO:
- Witnesses have been threatened with obstruction of justice if they refuse to appear in these secret proceedings.
- Witnesses been told that legal counsel is not allowed.
- Democrats selectively leak damaging information, Republicans are prohibited from rebutting it.
- Republicans are deprived of subpoena power and forbidden from calling witnesses of its own. This is an abuse of the process and an egregious deprivation of rights.
Now
we are finding out that the Democratic leadership is not only
investigating the complaint – they are writing it!!! Adam Schiff
played a pivotal role in orchestrating the initial whistle-blower
complaint that led to the impeachment hysteria and then lied about
it. Suddenly, he doesn’t want this anonymous informant to testify!!
Is
there a fear that under oath, for the whole country to see, that it
would implicate Schiff and reveal this farce? The minority party has
demanded his resignation. A
resolution H.R. 604
has been put up condemning
Schiff for retelling a fabricated conversation between President
Trump
and Ukraine
Premere Zelenskiy. That is known as LYING.
Federal
judges, including the justices on the high court, care deeply about
precedent. They also respect and uphold basic rights guaranteed in
our Constitution. Decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court in Watkins v.
United States (1957) and Quinn v. United States (1955) in which the
Justices ruled that the Bill of Rights and “due process”
guarantees apply to congressional investigations. They have also been
recognized as a requirement in impeachment proceedings.
The
present impeachment inquiry bears no resemblance to the procedural
guarantees of “due process” found in the Fifth Amendment and
enunciated more specifically in Supreme Court decisions throughout
the years. “Due process” rights exist in our Republican form of
democracy and are enshrined in our own Constitution which is being
trampled on with impunity by the Democrats in the House.
How
can this be allowed to happen and why? The largest scandal in
American history is being hidden from our citizens. The attack on
President-elect Trump began immediately the day after the election to
prevent the truth of the massive cover-up of fraud and treason
involving the previous administration. It is not a coincidence that
convenient suicides of important figures and/or possible witnesses
have increased dramatically over the past three years. It is a
situation so serious, that if made known as fact, it could cause
national chaos and bring down the entire government of the United
States!!!
