Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), 83, came out of her shell to denounce 58-year-old House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and the GOP leadership for daring to censure 63-year-old Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) to spreading the Russian hoax, going after former President Donald Trump in impeachment hearings and everywhere else. Even after 78-year-old Special Counsel Robert Mueller finished his 22-month, $40 million investigation March 23, 2019 into Trump’s alleged ties to the Kremlin, Schiff insisted he had all the evidence to prove Trump colluded with Russia. Even today, in the House Judiciary Committee meeting, Schiff wanted Special Counsel John Durham to admit Trump used Russian information in the 2016 campaign. Russia hacked Hillary email account, proving she had her technical crew delete 33,000 emails potentially incriminating her in a pay-for-play scheme.
During a fiercely contested 2016 election campaign, why shouldn’t Trump use any information that exposed Hillary of corruption, something the public had a right to know.voting for in 2016? Schiff acts like any information that exposed and embarrassed Hillary was off limits for Trump if he came from Russian hackers. But Schiff’s vehement attacks on Trump stem from pure Democrats political agenda to fist stop Trump from becoming president but, once president, to get rid of him at the earliest possible time. “Today, we are on the floor of the House, where the other side has turned this chamber—where slavery was abolished, where Medicare and Social Security and everything were instituted—they’ve turned it into a puppet show,” Pelosi said. “And you know what? The puppeteer, Donald Trump, is shinning a light on the strings,” Pelosi said on the House floor.
Pelosi was every bit as partisan as Schiff, reminding the public of what life was like under the past House Speaker. Schiff was Pelosi’s chief attack dog against Trump, using the power of the state, including the DOJ and FBI, to go after Trump as the GOP nominee and four years as president. Schiff was instrumental implementing two impeachment trials, both of which failed in the U.S. Senate because they were purely partisan attacks. Pelosi views her job as going after Trump and the GOP, even if it meant manipulating the nation’s most prestigious agencies to advance the Democrat political agenda. “You look miserable,” Pelosi told her GO colleagues. “You look miserable,” but the one who really looks miserable is Pelosi because she lost her leadership position, leaving the House controlled by McCarthy and the GOP, a blow to Pelsoi’s waning career.
Pelosit felt compelled to chime in on the House floor because her chief anti-Trump lieutenant faces censure, now that Rep. Ana Paulina Luna (R-Fl.) re-introduced her censure resolution for Schiff due to his constant likes promoting the Russian hoax and Trump’s two failed impeachments. Schiff runs for Senate in California to replace 90-year-old Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.). Schiff says he’ll wear the censure vote as a “badge of honor,” arrogantly rejecting the GOP’s efforts to hold him accountable for all his lies about the Russian hoax. Schiff, who was chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, fabricated intel for the U.S. press to promote fake journalism related to the Russian hoax. Schiff rejects any attempt to reprimand him for promoting endless lies about Trump’s Russian hoax. While Schiff sees his censure as badge of honor, California voters may see it differently.
Schiff, Pelosi Nadler and other like House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) have not fidelity to the rule of law, only using the power of the state for political persecution. Durham’s report confirms today that corruption still reigns at the DOJ and FBI, used for purely political purpose in 2016 and now today to persecute Trump. How can anyone think that things have changed at the DOJ and FBI? Atty. Gen. Merrick Garland and Speical Counsel Jack Smith have charged Trump with 37 felonies related to classified documents found at Trump Mar-a-Lago estate. When Smith said indicting Trump Jan. 9 that Trump threatened U.S. national security, what he think of Biden that started a proxy war against the Russian Federation? Biden said yesterday that Chinese President Xi Jinping was a dictator. Where’s the real threat to U.S. national security if Smith would open his eyes.
Durham’s testimony today was badly disgraced by Nadler and Schiff, protecting their misdeeds over the last seven years about the Russian hoax. How could anyone think that Hillary’s fake dossier should be used by Democrats, the DOJ and FBI to prosecute Trump for Russian collusion? Durham’s report confirms corruption at the highest levels of the DOJ and FBI, all hijacked to advance a Democrat political agenda. Durham’s testimony certainly questions the legitimacy of the DOJ 37-count indictment of Trump, knowing that the same politics contaminates the agencies. If Luna gets he censure of Schiff, Democrats can only cry politics when, as Peloss said today, the GOP has disgraced the venerable old House. In Pelosi’s mind, only Democrats can play politics, leaving the GOP with the blame. But with Durham speaking and Schiff getting censured, Democrats are the ones paying the price.
