Shifty Schiff Shifts on Impeachment
Democrat Adam “Shifty” Schiff said on Sunday that the facts in the impeachment inquiry are “not contested” but that he has not yet personally decided where he stands in terms of supporting the impeachment of President Trump an Impeachment that he is spearheading. Schiff, who has led the probe up to this point , said on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the “facts” are “not contested.”

If you even did basic science in school you'd remember that industrial application of scientific concepts require a lot of fine tuning and sometimes a paradigm shift, so is there any study on industrial or large scale application of this concept?

"It is what it is", in your own opinion, not in mine.

If bubu was to be like Trump he'd be promoting a divisive agenda but cries of islamisation and Fulanisation are all myth. That aside. Bubu is nowhere as devious as Trump, nor as astute and smart, and Nigeria is nowhere as sophisticated as USA. The two are chalk and cheese.

American Oversight: Documents show links between Pompeo, Giuliani, Oval Office

https://www.americanoversight.org/

On Friday evening, the State Department released nearly 100 pages of records in response to American Oversight’s lawsuit seeking a range of documents related to the Trump administration’s dealings with Ukraine.

Among other records, the production includes emails that confirm multiple contacts in March of 2019 between Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, at least one of which was facilitated by President Trump’s assistant Madeleine Westerhout.

American Oversight is reviewing the production to assess whether the State Department has fully complied with the court’s order. Notes on what we’ve found are below.

“We can see why Mike Pompeo has refused to release this information to Congress. It reveals a clear paper trail from Rudy Giuliani to the Oval Office to Secretary Pompeo to facilitate Giuliani’s smear campaign against a U.S. ambassador.

“This is just the first round of disclosures. The evidence is only going to get worse for the administration as its stonewall strategy collapses in the face of court orders.

“That American Oversight could obtain these documents establishes that there is no legal basis for the administration to withhold them from Congress. That conclusively shows that the administration is engaged in obstruction of justice. The president and his allies should ask themselves if impeachment for obstruction is worth it if the strategy isn’t even going to be effective.

“This lawsuit is just one of several American Oversight is pursuing to bring transparency to the Ukraine investigation. The public should expect more disclosures, over the administration’s strong objection, for the foreseeable future.”

In the Documents
New: The documents show a March 26, 2019, call between Rudy Giuliani and Mike Pompeo. (Page 39 of document)

A March 28, 2019, email includes a list of scheduled calls for Pompeo. Calls include Rudy Giuliani on March 29, and Rep. Devin Nunes on April 1, 2019.

On March 27, 2019, Rudy Giuliani’s assistant contacted Madeleine Westerhout, who was serving as the president’s Oval Office gatekeeper at the time. She asked Westerhout for a “good number” for Pompeo, adding that she had “been trying and getting nowhere through regular channels.” Westerhout contacted someone at the State Department to ask for a number she could provide. (Page 55)

During his closed-door testimony, career diplomat David Hale mentioned two calls between Pompeo and Giuliani, one on March 28, 2019, and one on March 29. The documents include a March 28 email to Hale indicating that Pompeo had been the one to request a call with Giuliani. (Page 45)

The March 29 call appears on page 46, and the confirmation of its scheduling is on page 44.

Also in the documents: An April 5 letter to the State Department from six former U.S. ambassadors to Ukraine (including Bill Taylor), expressing their concern about the attacks on U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch. (Page 13)

On April 12, 2019, Reps. Steny Hoyer and Eliot Engel wrote to Pompeo, also expressing their concern (page 28). The State Department responded on June 11, saying “Yovanovitch was due to complete her three-year diplomatic assignment in Kyiv this summer.” (Page 34)

...Devin Nunes is currently in the news lately for the wrong reasons....This is a significant new development after the public impeachment proceedings held in the past 2weeks... It reveals that Devin Nunes, who is on a House committee investigating impeachment, may actually have been an active participant in the crimes for which Trump is being impeached...of course Nunes has dismissed the report as total fabrications...and he will surely sue CNN and other media outlets...


Lev Parnas Helped Rep. Devin Nunes’ Investigations, the indicted Giuliani associate helped arrange meetings and calls in Europe for the Republican congressman in 2018.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/lev-parnas-helped-rep-devin-nunes-investigations

Lev Parnas, an indicted associate of Rudy Giuliani, helped arrange meetings and calls in Europe for Rep. Devin Nunes in 2018, Parnas’ lawyer Ed MacMahon told The Daily Beast. Nunes aide Derek Harvey participated in the meetings, the lawyer said, which were arranged to help Nunes’ investigative work. MacMahon didn’t specify what those investigations entailed.
Nunes is the top Republican on the House committee handling the impeachment hearings—hearings where Parnas’ name has repeatedly come up.
Congressional records show Nunes traveled to Europe from Nov. 30 to Dec. 3, 2018. Three of his aides—Harvey, Scott Glabe, and George Pappas—traveled with him, per the records. U.S. government funds paid for the group’s four-day trip, which cost just over $63,000.
The travel came as Nunes, in his role on the House Intelligence Committee, was working to investigate the origins of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian election-meddling.

Exclusive: Giuliani associate willing to tell Congress Nunes met with ex-Ukrainian official to get dirt on Biden

https://edition.cnn.com/2019/11/22/politics/nunes-vienna-trip-ukrainian-prosecutor-biden/index.html

A lawyer for an indicted associate of Rudy Giuliani told CNN that his client is willing to tell Congress about meetings the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee had in Vienna last year with a former Ukrainian prosecutor to discuss digging up dirt on Joe Biden.
The attorney, Joseph A. Bondy, represents Lev Parnas, the recently indicted Soviet-born American who worked with Giuliani to push claims of Democratic corruption in Ukraine. Bondy said that Parnas was told directly by the former Ukrainian official that he met last year in Vienna with Rep. Devin Nunes.
"Mr. Parnas learned from former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Victor Shokin that Nunes had met with Shokin in Vienna last December," said Bondy.
Shokin was ousted from his position in 2016 after pressure from Western leaders, including then-vice president Biden, over concerns that Shokin was not pursuing corruption cases.
Nunes is one of President Donald Trump's key allies in Congress and has emerged as a staunch defender of the President during the impeachment inquiry, which he has frequently labeled as a "circus." Nunes declined repeated requests for comment.
After the story published, Nunes disputed CNN's report, telling far-right website Breitbart that it was "demonstrably false."
Highlights from the CNN article:

1. The attorney, Joseph A. Bondy, represents Lev Parnas, the recently indicted Soviet-born American who worked with Giuliani to push claims of Democratic corruption in Ukraine. Bondy said that Parnas was told directly by the former Ukrainian official that he met last year in Vienna with Rep. Devin Nunes.

2.According to Bondy, Parnas claims Nunes worked to push similar allegations of Democratic corruption.

3. "Nunes had told Shokin of the urgent need to launch investigations into Burisma, Joe and Hunter Biden, and any purported Ukrainian interference in the 2016 election," Bondy told CNN.

4. Bondy told CNN that Nunes planned the trip to Vienna after Republicans lost control of the House in the mid-term elections on Nov. 6, 2018.

5. Bondy tells CNN that Parnas is also willing to tell Congress about a series of regular meetings he says he took part in at the Trump International Hotel in Washington that concerned Ukraine. According to Bondy, Parnas became part of what he described as a "team" that met several times a week in a private room at the BLT restaurant on the second floor of the Trump Hotel. In addition to giving the group access to key people in Ukraine who could help their cause, Parnas translated their conversations, Bondy said.

6. The group, according to Bondy,  included Giuliani, Parnas, the journalist Solomon, and the married attorneys Joe diGenova and Victoria Toensing. Parnas said that Harvey would occasionally be present as well, and that it was Parnas' understanding that Harvey was Nunes' proxy, Bondy said.

Democrats trapped!

Shifty Schiff is like a deer caught in headlights and now wants to consult his constituents before going ahead with the impeachment.

Too late Democrats!

1. If you don't go ahead and impeach, you will have to explain the reason you put the country through this.

2. If you hold the vote, you will never have the 2/3, what a helluva facepalm party.

3. If the trial gets to the Senate like Trump wants, all Democrats secrets will be out in the open for Americans to see..

Damn if you do damn if you don't!

Democrats didn't want impeachment because there's no basis for it, they just want to damage Trump's name and it backfired. It's really the year of boomerang.

This clown is still spouting his garbage as usual. Next move is Articles of impeachment from the Judiciary committee headed by Rep Jerry Nadler of New York and Trump will be impeached and the trial will commence in the Senate. Get that into your thick skull. How come you are posting while your contemporaries are sleeping in Nigeria. I guess that's the effect of joblessness.

TheShopKeeper, you are spot on as usual. The impeachment is to stain his record but the actual humiliation will come on November 3rd of 2020 when majority of Americans will tell the worthless and the corrupt man that Americans don't want him anymore. We have seen that trend since Nov of 2008 when the House of Representatives turns blue. Leave Obixcel to keep fooling himself. We are mobilizing against the Divider in Chief Trump and nothing can stop us. We ain't afraid of Taliban Trump.

Ever since Trump won I have come to understand leftists. They hate conservatives who are mostly Xtian in nature. The left wants the conservative group to worship at their altar of unGodliness.
The other thing I have noticed is that leftists think that they are God's gift to mankind. They are all knowing and we should listen to them else we are racist, barbaric, uncouth, ill educated and can't conceptualize their global views.
If we don't capitulate to their holistic views then we conservatives are racist ( I'm black), homophobic and deplorables.

1. The real evangelicals can smell bullshit from far away.

2. The real evangelicals know the Democrats are pathological liars.

3. The evangelicals know following Trump is better than the alternative who are satanists and pedophiles.

4.The evangelicals know that evidence is what prove a case not the propaganda Democrats are known for.

5.The evangelicals know that to be a Democrat, you are either evil or ignorant.
