scumbag/liar-Adam Schiff Finally Goes on Fox, Squirms Trying to Justify Impeachment
by Nick Arama
{ redstate.com } ~ House Intelligence Committee Chair scumbag/liar-Adam Schiff (D-CA) finally made it on to Fox to try to justify the Democrats’ Articles of Impeachment... He drew perhaps who he thought was the most amenable anchor for the interview, Chris Wallace. But Wallace did get in a couple of good questions that left scumbag/liar-Schiff squirming and spinning untruths. scumbsag/liar-Schiff looked horrible with red eyes and with what looked like vampire-like make-up, coupled with nerves. He did not do well. Wallace asked after all the claims about bribery and extortion, why Democrats hadn’t included any crimes, much less those in the articles of impeachment? scumbag/liar-Schiff claimed that they were included within the claim of “abuse of power” which they were not. He then suggested that that was just a catch-all for all the prior Democratic claims that had failed or been debunked by things like the Mueller report. “Most pernicious,” scumbag/liar-Schiff claimed, was the attempt to get an “ally” to help him “cheat in the next election,” a claim they completely failed to prove. Meanwhile the Democratic efforts to undermine Trump with Russian information and colluding with foreign national Christopher Steele are well-proven fact. He claimed that somehow this “sacrificed our national security.” But indeed, it is the Democrats’ effort of impeachment that has impaired our relationship with Ukraine because of their effort to politicize everything and impede the effort into stopping corruption in Ukraine. Meanwhile, it’s impaired the President’s ability to conduct foreign policy as he should. And it’s incredibly ironic given that Barack scumbag/liar-nObama left Ukraine naked and open to being invaded by Russia by first getting them to give up their weapons with which they could have defended themselves and then failing to provide them weapons for that defense when they begged for them after the Russians invaded. They only got them after President Donald Trump came in and provided them... Wondering why he didn't go on Tucker or Hannity show for interview. https://www.redstate.com/nick-arama/2019/12/15/adam-schiff-finally-goes-on-fox-squirms-trying-to-justify-impeachment/?utm_source=rsafternoonbriefing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl&bcid=7220442bc3498cb5e2d68f3cb4d11680 .
Sanctimonious James Comey -vs-
Insufferable Chris Wallace
by sundance
{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ Former FBI Director scumbag-James Comey appears on Fox News for a defensive narrative building session with his ally in fraud, Chris Wallace... The topic is how the FBI under scumbag-Comey’s leadership manipulated the FISA process and lied, repeatedly, to the FISA court in order to gain technically legal surveillance authority over his political opposition. Wallace presents a high-level review, intentionally absent of specific details, providing sanctimonious scumbag-Comey with the opportunity for professional deflection and obfuscation. scumbag-Comey repeats his well rehearsed points providing plausible deniability to the questions; proving once again he is a manipulative liar, devoid of intellectual honesty, and without an ounce of integrity. Mr. scumbag-Comey “doesn’t understand” a lot of things…This is the former Director of the FBI. The FBI has a decades-long history of gross inefficiency in stopping terrorist attacks on U.S. soil; now we see why. In essence, scumbag-Comey admits the FBI is a rogue federal agency without any direction or oversight. The focus of the DC institutional effort is to refine their skills explaining why they fail. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/12/15/sunday-talks-sanctimonious-james-comey-vs-insufferable-chris-wallace/.
scumbag-Comey admits ‘I was wrong’ on
FISA conduct, remains defiant on
dossier in tense interview
By Ronn Blitzer
{ foxnews.com } ~ Former FBI Director scumbag-James Comey admitted on "Fox News Sunday" that the recently released Justice Department Inspector General’s report on the launch of the FBI’s Russia investigation... and their use of the surveillance process showed that he was "overconfident" when he defended his former agency's use of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). This comes days after Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report and testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee detailed concerns that included 17 “significant errors and omissions” by the FBI’s investigative team when applying for a FISA warrant to monitor former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Horowitz referred “the entire chain of command” to the FBI and DOJ for “how to assess and address their performance failures” during the probe, which was conducted while scumbag-Comey was in charge. "He's right, I was wrong," scumbag-Comey said about how the FBI used the FISA process, adding, "I was overconfident as director in our procedures," and that what happened "was not acceptable." Horowitz did make it clear that he believes the FBI’s investigation of Russian election interference and possible connections with the Trump campaign was properly initiated, but he did note that this is based on a “low threshold.” He also concluded that there was no testimonial or documentary evidence to show that the investigation started due to any political bias, but said the issue of bias “gets murkier” when it comes to the various issues with the FISA process. That process included the reliance on information gathered by former British spy Christopher Steele as part of opposition research conducted by Fusion GPS for the Democratic National Committee and scumbag/liar-Clinton campaign. Horowitz’s report stated that government attorneys were hesitant to approve a FISA warrant application until they relied on unverified information from Steele. That information also was used in subsequent renewals for the FISA warrant. scumbag-Comey downplayed the role of Steele's information in obtaining the FISA warrant against Page, claiming Sunday that it was "not a huge part of the presentation to the court," just part of the information included in the warrant application. He insisted that he and Horowitz "weren't saying different things" about Steele's significance, but host Chris Wallace then read Horowitz's words, which said Steele's information "played a central and essential role" in establishing probable cause....
The get-it-over-with impeachment
by Byron York
{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ The Democratic drive to remove President Trump reached a milestone during the House Judiciary Committee's marathon hearing to approve two articles of impeachment... At some moment during that 14-hour session, it became abundantly clear that no one involved in the argument had anything new to say. In the absence of any original evidence or arguments, lawmakers on both sides simply said the same things they've been saying for the past two months, over and over and over. Republicans complain that the impeachment has been rushed, and it has. But now, with House Democrats racing to a final vote next week, it is actually time to move on. There's nothing new to say, and it is time for it to be said in the Senate. "It's like the old saying: Everything that can be said has been said, just not everyone has said it," Rep. Doug Collins, the ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee who led the opposition to the Democratic impeachment drive, told me in a text message. "If the last three or four hours of the hearing showed us anything," added Republican Rep. Andy Biggs, also on the committee, "it was that, as expansive as the English language is, the explanations for and against impeachment have exhausted even our venerable tongue." "There weren't going to be — and there haven't been — any bombshells to change anyone's mind," said Republican Rep. Chris Stewart, a member of the Intelligence Committee. "It's much of the same thing, over and over, just told by different people." "Thursday was Groundhog Day," said Republican Rep. Brad Wenstrup, another member of the Intelligence Committee. Indeed, both Democrats and Republicans knew that, even as they kept arguing. The 116,000-word transcript of the hearing — yes, 116,000 words, longer than many novels — contains reference after reference to the sheer repetition of argument taking place. "We heard that over and over and over again ... "We hear time and time again ... " "I keep repeating this ... " A search of the transcript shows that on 28 occasions, one lawmaker or another noted that the committee was hearing the same thing "over and over." Even the condemnations of repetition became repetitious. Although it went unnoticed in much commentary, committee Republicans made substantive defenses of the president — not just protests about process — throughout the session. The aid to Ukraine was delivered on time. The Ukrainians didn't know about the holdup. The Democrats based much of their case on Ambassador Gordon Sondland, who based much of his testimony on presumption. And so on... The Dems should have just dropped the impeachment. Instead let the Senate do that..
Inside Eric Bolling's efforts to overtake
his former network Fox News
by Mike Brest
{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Just over two years after Eric Bolling parted with Fox News amid sexual harassment allegations, he is taking on his old network with a new show airing nationwide on competitor Sinclair... Bolling's show America This Week, airing on nearly 200 local television stations in almost 100 markets, launched in April after executive chairman David Smith asked the former Fox anchor to go on a town hall tour around the United States discussing the opioid epidemic, an issue close to him after his son's overdose death at 19. Bolling's town halls gained attention for his prominent guests, which included first lady Melania Trump, Kellyanne Conway, and several cabinet members. After the town halls, Smith and Bolling, 56, began discussing a potential show. Bolling, who was a commodities trader and later brought that experience to CNBC where he launched Fast Money in 2006, decided he wanted it to be as if "you took Sean Hannity added Bill O'Reilly and divided it by two," he told the Washington Examiner. The former Fox host described the success of his show, which has featured recent interviews with President Trump and his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, as proof that there is an "appetite for national news at the local level." America This Week gets more viewers than the cable news networks when comparing the aggregate number of viewers who are watching his show from each of the stations airing it with the competing programming on CNN, MSNBC, and even Fox News, according to Nielsen Media Research. Bolling's show also dominates in the 25-54 key age demographic. Bolling, a former minor league third baseman, pointed to the vast popularity of local news compared to cable news as an advantage that he was capitalizing on. "I think that's why I get so many great guests from the political worlds. I'm talking literally to people who don't have a strong opinion necessarily or haven't made up their mind on whether they like Trump or hate Trump. If they knew they're completely a Democrat and going to vote Democrat, they be subscribing to CNN or MSNBC. If they knew they're going to be straight up a Republican ticket, they'd likely to go to Fox," he explained. He theorized that the decline in television viewership with younger audiences was happening at a slower rate for local news because Sinclair is provided in basic television packages while cable costs extra. Bolling highlighted a segment on his show that tends to see viewership dip as one of his favorites. Every week, he brings on a straight news reporter, typically from an outlet that leans left, for "Balls and Strikes." During the segment, Bolling quizzes the reporter without asking for or wanting their opinion. He explained that America This Week initially had difficulties booking reporters because they were skeptical about being kept away from opinion, but he has now hosted reporters from Time, Washington Post, and Politico. While it wasn't generating buzz among viewers, he said he was "going to keep it in the show for now unless it becomes a problem.".
CAIR Leads Fight for ‘Right’ of Universities
to Promote Anti-Semitism
By Meira Svirsky
{ clarionproject.org } ~ The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is leading the fight for the “right” for universities who receive government funds to promote anti-Semitism... CAIR’s fight is against the announcement by President Trump last week to expand Title VI of the Civil Rights Act to include protection against discrimination based on religion. Title VI currently prohibits institutions from receiving federal funds if they discriminate on the basis of race, color or national origin. The expansion of Title VI comes at a time when Jewish students on U.S. college campuses are facing widespread anti-Semitism — and violence, at times — due to extreme actions being taken by supporters of the BDS (Boycott, Divest and Sanction) movement against the state of Israel. According to the definition of anti-Semitism adopted by the U.S. State Department and 31 other countries, the BDS movement is anti-Semitic because it holds Israel to a different standard than that required of other countries. CAIR promotes anti-Semitism by being huge supporters of the BDS movement. Linda Sarsour, Congresswomen worthless-Ilhan Omar and worthless-Rashida Tlaib are also outspoken proponents of the BDS movement . In announcing their opposition to the executive order, CAIR disingenuously framed the issue as a violation of the First Amendment right to free speech. They called the executive order an attempt “to suppress academic freedom.”... https://clarionproject.org/cair-leads-fight-to-promote-anti-semitism/?utm_source=Clarion+Project+Newsletter&utm_campaign=7a6d236d09-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_12_15_03_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_60abb35148-7a6d236d09-6442509&mc_cid=7a6d236d09&mc_eid=b83b13a9b5 .

Party-Line Impeachment for Day-Time TV
Nate Jackson: Donald Trump was inaugurated president 1,056 days ago, which, coincidentally, is exactly how long Democrats have been trying to impeach him. Well, if you don’t include their rumblings before he even took office. Today brings a major marker: The House Judiciary Committee voted 23-17 along party lines to advance two articles of impeachment to the full House for a vote next week.
That vote came after more political theater last night, as House Judiciary Committee scumbag liar-Jerry Nadler abruptly ended a hearing and announced the committee would not vote until this morning. “It is now very late at night,” scumbag liar-Nadler declared shortly before midnight. “I want the members on both sides of the aisle to think about what has happened over these last two days, and to search their consciences before we cast their final votes. … Let history be our judge.”
Hearing Democrats talk about “consciences” is pretty amusing.
Rep. Doug Collins, the ranking Republican on the committee, complained that scumbag liar-Nadler’s move was a violation of the rules and “the most bush-league stunt” he had ever seen. Collins also aptly noted what really matters to Democrats: “They know it’s all about games. It’s all about the TV screens. They want the primetime hit.” The flip side of that coin is that Democrats knew they couldn’t hold a vote at midnight under the cover of darkness without leaving themselves open to new Republican attacks. Now they’ve set up the weekend TV talkingheads while giving the rest of America a Friday news dump.
One major factor for Democrats in their delay is that there are 31 “moderate” Democrats who won districts Trump won in 2016. Most of them have declined to indicate how they’d vote when the full House takes up the issue. (Notably, the six Democrats who took the stage earlier this week to “somberly” announce impeachment articles were all from California and New York. This is why we have the Electoral College.) Those 31 Democrats could be waiting for their own quid pro quo. What will their district receive in exchange for their impeachment vote?
Democrats can lose only 16 of their members and still succeed in impeaching Trump. They will almost certainly gain no Republicans, and the Senate is a virtual lock to acquit the president. So House Democrats are about to spend a lot of political capital on a losing proposition.
Footnote One: During Judiciary debate, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) named the alleged whistleblower, reported to be Eric Chiaramella. Gohmert rattled off a list of people who should have testified but were prevented from doing so by Democrats. Chiaramella was among them. Leftmedia outlets who name and make famous every mass shooter have stubbornly refused to name the whistleblower, though by reporting that Gohmert named him they’ve effectively confirmed it.
Footnote Two: The one thing members of both parties can seem to agree on is more spending. Congressional negotiators just announced a deal for $1.3 trillion in discretionary spending for 2020, avoiding a government shutdown for Christmas. Reason notes, “The deficit for fiscal 2019, which ended in September, was $984 billion. Total outlays clocked in at $4.447 trillion, with revenues reaching $3.462 trillion, both record amounts.” Moreover, “The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) is now projecting annual deficits in excess of $1 trillion in each of the next 10 years.”
