On Wednesday, the curtain rises on the House’s impeachment show, featuring State Department career diplomats William Taylor Jr. and George Kent as the first witnesses. Mainstream media claim Taylor and Kent have “damning evidence” that President Trump delayed military aid to the Kiev government in a quid pro quo to pressure the Ukrainian president to dig up dirt on the Bidens.Don’t believe it. Kent and Taylor have no evidence against Trump — only a false rumor spread during a farcical game of telephone on Sept. 7. Taylor heard the claim third-hand, and then called Kent, who got it fourth hand.Making these diplomats lead witnesses

It is Torquemada Schiff, the Grand Inquisitor, and the 1480s all over again. Who needs evidence? We can make all this up and convict anyone.

I hope that no one bothers to watch this farce. Schiff is grandstanding. If he doesn’t get ratings maybe he’ll go home.

I can't believe all of the free time I have had over the past month by not listening to any of the discussion on the Schiff travesty. No Fox, no Hannity, no Rush, it's like getting more hours in the day. When the IG and Nunes drop whatever bombs they have I may tune in to see the wailing and gnashing of teeth, just for the entertainment value - or maybe not. Please call me when Hillary is wearing cuffs and Obama's beachfront is crawling with a SWAT team. The democrats looked like total idiots before all of this started, now they absolutely stink.

Schiff is a wannabee Hollywood director who has dabbled as screenplay writer and today the curtain goes up on his big show on the big stage. There's only one problem. He's no Francis Ford Coppola or Martin Scorcese. He's the equivalent to Liz Warren a Cherokee Squaw, a political hack, a fraudster, a snake oil salesman, a con artist who has hoodwinked Nancy and the media. I've noticed he has a huge Achille's heel that will be his undoing. He tends to make mistakes. He doesn't fact check thoroughly. He is so full of his own bile and can't see through the muck. Every time he says something, it's based on his own egocentricity ... not just the facts ma'am. Yeah, he's no Joe Friday This is where we will see Schiff's impeachment House of Cards come crashing down.

PLEASE watch Glenn Beck's Hydra tonight for free on YouTube or the Blaze. This impeachment is misdirection over what is going on right now as well and for the past decade in Ukraine by State. The deep state CANNOT allow what they, the Democrats and the media are doing in Ukraine and other countries to get out. It's why the Senate will also not allow it to come out including Ms Graham and Mitch. The corruption goes well beyond Burisma and Hunter Biden and of course the deep state is blaming Trump for exactly what they have been doing and much worse since 2009. Beck is a goofball in his delivery but EVERY single word is backed with downloadable and free facts and documentation, none of it is arguable and it proves the media is deeply involved as well.

This has never been about actual impeachment, unless circumstances permitted. It has been all about ensuring the crash and burn of the Outsider and his administration before it exposed and began to reform the UNIPARTY/Deep State government that is generally raping this country as it roils the masses with all sorts of shiny objects, from racism to genderism and "social justice". The "moderate Dems" and GOPe are partners being squeezed from both ends. The radical Dems represent the same "outsider" threat in a different fashion. But a few knuckleheads in Congress aren't the President of the United States.
"Impeachment" will likely crash and burn, and may take Pelosi down with it, having outrun its usefulness and becoming an embarassment. But that will not end the war. After the Dems exhaust their arsenal, the GOPe still has cards to play, and it has a former nominee in the wings waiting to "save America" from PDT. Now, if the UNIPARTY can only figure out how to drive down PDT's approval numbers...

So far, all the negative opinions about Trump have come from people that either hate or has contempt for him. The hate and contempt of accusers is not proof of a high crime or misdemeanors being committed by the accused.

DC career bureaucrats may give their advise and opinions as to what US foreign policy should be, but in accordance with the US Constitution it is the elected President of the USA who makes the final decision on what US foreign policy will be. The career bureaucrats are there to then carry out presidential foreign policy decisions, and if they can’t do that should resign their positions and run for President if they want to set US foreign policy. Clearly a lot of those bureaucrats, along with the Democrats but only when there is a Republican President who they want to get rid of, are insinuating that Republican Presidents should do what the Democrats and the career bureaucrats tell him to do when formulating and carrying out domestic and foreign policies.
In a political sense, going back to the 2016 election, President Trump ran on a platform to go to DC and many times change US foreign policies that had been dictated by several US Administrations along with the DC “Swamp” consisting of, sometimes, corrupt political congressional UniParty and the DC bureaucratic so-called “Deep State” that have acted transnationally and have not always proceeded by putting the national interests of the USA first. Trump was elected to put America’s national interests first when dealing with the world. Clearly the DC establishment has been against Trump from the get-go, the bogus Democrat mantra of Trump “colluding” with the Russians, with Adam Schiff claiming that he had overwhelming evidence of that turned out in the end to be false, and the subsequent bogus Mueller investigation that was a complete very expensive bust that did not implicate Trump with any sort of Russian “collusion”.
The Democrats have been stating that they intended to get rid of Trump through impeachment since a few minutes after he assumed office, and have now formally initiated an impeachment inquisition to get rid of Trump with what up to the moment appear to be politically contrived charges, using career “Deep State” bureaucrats who believe that the American people who elected Trump are a bunch of stupid idiots, and who oppose Trump’s “Put America First” foreign policy as expert witnesses to impeach and remove Trump from office.
When you get to the bottom line on this, and from what we know now, any wimpy Republicans in the House of Representatives or the Senate who would go along with, and vote to impeach and remove Trump from office because of clear foreign policy policy disputes with the Democrats and certain career bureaucrats will be committing personal political suicide, there is no doubt that the tens of millions of Republican “Deplorable” voters will see to that. Beyond that those wimpy Republicans would be by extension helping the Democrats elect their Democrat socialist presidential nominee in the 2020 election. It’s all political!

Schiff and his ragtag hit squad have all been reduced to the level of Maxine Waters with their persistence in chasing their last slim chance of ever beating Donald Trump. They might as well all come out on the fake news networks today adorned in blackface and shouting, "Peach Fo Fi, Peach Fo Fi!"
I don't see our boy Adam surviving this.

Read - the - transcript.
The transcript is THE ONLY EVIDENCE, all the rest is hearsay and just opinions of Trump haters.
The transcript is clear, nothing wrong was said or done.

Please note the witness responses to questions from the majority are smooth, thoughtful—almost as though they were prepared in advance. Responses to questions from minority party interlocutors consist of stammering requests for clarification, irrelevant answers, and filibustering.
These witnesses were prepped. Lawyers call it “sanding the witness.” In fact, they were overprepped and it shows.

Too bad Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey circus is closed down. They knew how to put on a show.
Not these clowns. When are these people going to govern? When are they going to act like leaders? They are doing such a great disservice to our country. What a waste of money. Schiffty and company should be forced to pay it back.
These corrupt lying anti-American tyrants are destabilizing the country, and I want them held accountable.

Schiff is embarrassing himself and our nation. He is a proven liar and with his inept running of these so-called hearings, will drive a stake into what's left of the Democrat Party. Heck, the only people that would still vote for a Democrat nowadays are millennials, morons, malcontents and moochers.
