It was by most accounts a much needed and overdue confrontation, by the White House team, to an otherwise predictable and boring impeachment marathon, when a usually reserved Pat Cipolline the White House Counsel to the President, calmly took to the floor of the Senate in the wee hours of Wednesday morning and began to methodically take apart the stout munchkin House impeachment manager Rep. Jerry Nadler.
The confrontation had been simmering throughout the start of the impeachment trial, with one Democratic House manager after another falsely accusing the President of bribery and outright corruption, and accusing the Senate of a willful cover-up, if they did not call witnesses, a responsibility under the Constitution tasked to the House of Representatives, and not the Senate.
However that didn’t stop Nadler from going off into a lengthy speech advocating for an amendment to subpoena former National Security Advisor John Bolton, a subpoena that Democrats had originally approved in the House, then for whatever reason decided to rescind, thus failing to have Bolton testify during their impeachment hearing.
The paunchy progressive perhaps realizing his ridicule request suddenly became animated with a barrage of disparaging and derogatory remarks directed directly at the White House counsel.
Shouting, “They lie, and lie, and lie, and lie,” he repeated.
Nadler continued his diatribe accusing the Trump team of “voting against the United States.”
That accusation by Nadler apparently struck a personal chord with Cipollini, who was scheduled to follow the New York legislator.
A composed and measured Cipolline quickly took to the podium and began carefully reading his prepared statement, glancing periodically at Nadler slumped in his chair.
“Thank you, Mr. Chief Justice, members of the Senate. We came here today to address the false case brought to you by the House managers. … We’ve been respectful of the Senate. We’ve made our arguments to you. And you don’t deserve, and we don’t deserve, what just happened. Mr. Nadler came up here and made false allegations against our team. He made false allegations against all of you: he accused you of a ‘cover-up.” He’s been making false allegations against the President.
Turning to address Nadler, Cipollone concluded:
“The only one who should be embarrassed, Mr. Nadler, is you, for the way you addressed this body. This is the United States Senate. You’re not in charge here.”
Cipollone once again addressed the Bolton issue, and once again reminded anyone interested in the process, that Democrats controlled the agenda in the House, they were free as mandated by the Constitution to call any witnesses they wanted and they decided for whatever reason not to call Bolton
The 53-year-old attorney once again turned towards Nadler reminding him that he had once argued that a partisan impeachment would deprive the American people of their vote. “What happened, Mr. Nadler?” Cipollone asked.
“Mr. Nadler, you owe an apology to the President of the United States and his family. You owe an apology to the Senate. But most of all, you owe an apology to the American people.”
Co-counsel Jay Sekulow also stepped in and pounced on the beleaguered Democrat for calling executive privilege “nonsense,” and for arguing that “only guilty people try to hide evidence.”
Sekulow then admonished Nadler and his cohorts for damaging the institution stating, “To shred the Constitution on the floor of the Senate, to serve what purpose?” Sekulow said. “The Senate is not on trial. The Constitution does not allow what just took place.”
Nadler tried to respond, repeating a false claim that President Trump claimed “monarchical powers” under Article II of the U.S. Constitution, alleging Trump believed “I can do whatever I want.”
Nadler’s bogus claim is, of course, false, in that he purposely misquoted the reasoning why President Trump referenced Article II, in that the President had the power hypothetically speaking to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller if he so desired.
Crooked Democrats
Lies deceptive arguments and
It’s TIME to clean the SWAMP
Get sane people in to do actual work for the AMERICAN PEOPLE
Fire all the DEMOCRATS now or JAIL them
All these theatrics by the DemoCRAPs are for the benefit of the ignorant and gullible. They know they are lying, they do not care. They want POTUS45 removed from office before election 2020 because they know POTUS45 has been keeping his promises despite the CRAPS interference, unemp is down and US economy is booming.
They cannot beat him fair and square so they are lying and propagating hate.
I WILL be happy when Jerry Nadler is in PRISON for SEDITION and TREASON as per the U.S. Constitution (with Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi), Crimes against the POTUS and The American people for operating an ILLEGAL COUP. POTUS is INNOCENT of ALL charges and the Democrats responsible for it KNEW it. Therefore, they are GUILTY as charged. They need to be REMOVED from office IMMEDIATELY in HANDCUFFS. Team Trump and his allies 2020.
“Waddler” Nadler, typical mouthy Democrat who can only speak lies but otherwise has nothing to say. He should be ashamed for what he has done to President Trump and our country. However, people like Waddles knows no shame. He is so into himself and his hatred of Trump that he lives in la-la land. Along with Pelosi, Schumer and many other Democrats.
It’s about time someone took up for the president without there hands being tied , the diabolical pathological liars are about to get what they deserve, and the American people find out what these lying Congress Men and Women are all about PURE SCUM AND THEY SHOULD BE THROWN OUT OF CONGRESS WITH A BUNCH OF OTHERS
Let’s hope that this people get booted out of office
This impeachment process is totally without merit. You can’t begin impeachment proceedings without the house approval. This was so eloquently spoken today by the Presidents team of attorneys. You can’t plan impeachment proceedings because you don’t like the fact that your candidate didn’t win. This is a scam and all of those responsible should be kicked out of office, in my opinion.
It’s the WH counsels turn and the GOP managers turn to speak before our Senate and the people of the United States of America. Hopefully their depositions will set the record straight about this impeachment farce of the Democrats as motivated by hatred, lies, and deceit not only before the Congress but also the people and the world. Hopefully they will expose the crimes and coverups by the Democrats to hide the real truth that it is they who have committed the crimes they alleged against the President, administration, and Republicans because they know that without impeachment they can’t win the 2020 elections against President Trump. The Democrats claimed that they had overwhelmingly credible evidence of wrongdoing by the President. Where is it? So far the people and the nation have only heard heresay circumstantial evidence that never held water and nothing else but Schiff’s fabrication of false accusations, evidence, and lies on top of falsifying legal witness documents and testimony. Even the whistleblower affidavit complaint was fabricated and made out by Adam Schiff using his own fabricated words, and then coaching the witnesses during the House impeachment proceedings and also committing witness tampering. There’s where the real crimes are.
Between Nadler and Schiff, our Nation, has just witnessed what is, so terribly wrong, with the Democratic party. Both, Nadler and Schiff, stood before our Senate, and Lied their A– off. Both, men, have, repeatedly been caught in, lie after lie, and they just cant stop. That is Exactly What Happens, when you compulsively lie, again and again . YOU GET CAUGHT ! NO, I did not forget Nancy ! It’s just so hard, when you have so many people lying about the same thing, at the same time. Every single one of them, was abdicating Impeachment, BEFORE, President Trump, even took office, and there is NO WAY, they can lie around that !!!!
I hope, that The Chief Justice, finally says, that enough is enough ! ! !
I am looking forward to being able to vote against any dem running for any office. I am tired of the lack of respect for the constitution and ignorance concerning the requirements of the constitution for supbeoneas. They were to vote for them in the house and did NOT so they were not legally binding. Trump had the right to force them to go to the court for documents and they refused and said he was obstructing congress.. Big lie.
Nadler is a pathological liar, hateful, spiteful vicious little beach-ball with legs with a Napoleon complex. A long-time (30+ yrs) Trump hater. He has some serious mental health issues. Thanks New York State voters for fostering this miserable excuse for a human being on the rest of us. Nadler is in for a big surprise when he finds himself standing at the Pearly Gates and is pointed to the express elevator straight down.
MAGA!
TRUMP 2020!!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
My view of the past week watching Congresspeople in the Senate trial.
Anywhere else you work and failed to do your job properly you would be fired. Congress failed the American citizens by not doing a complete investigation or a lawful one. They made up narratives and impeached on their opinion and not a single proof of wrongdoing. Anywhere else they would be fired and led out of the workplace. They stand-in the Senate and keeps repeating a false narrative hoping that media will help them win voters to their side. They even called Senator traitors if they do not want to do their job for them. Before they took a vote for impeachment they should have done a thorough job of gathering evidence, that including going to the Supreme Court if needed. They think American citizens are idiots and do not know the Constitution. Maybe they do not know the Constitution, in that case, they should be removed from office. If the President is quilty they have failed to show one single evidence of a crime. Maybe we need better congresspeople that are willing to do the hard work that is required of them. There another possibility and that they were scared if they did their job correctly that all the corruption they been trying to hide would surface. President Trump needs to declassify everything that the Obama administration had done. If there were criminal wrongdoing they need to be charged and held accountable for them.
I am tired of the wasteful spending, the abuse of Congress covering for their own corruption. They must be held to a higher standard for lying to us.
The only people that hear Nadler are the folks you can fool all the time !
What’s the matter moderators ? You didn’t like me calling Nadler, Schiff, and Nancy liar’s ?
As Schiff says, Truth Matters !
Fat boy Nadler and pencil neck Shiff are nothing more than a couple of LYIN’ SCUMBAGS looking to spread “dirt” on “OUR” president just prior to election time. Neither belong in our legislative body. Pray they will be defeated in the next election which THEY are trying to “fix”. The democratic leadership is corrupt to the bone. 3 years of negative activity toward “OUR” president and little to no value ad for our country!! Pelosi, Schumer, Nader, and pencil neck need to be removed from our governing body along with a few other democrats.
The whole impeachment is a lie and a disgrace to our country. Vote these dangerous maniac demoncrats out of office to save our country
I am embarrassed for Jerry Nadler, Adam Shiff and Pelosi.They do not represent the American people in any way .Please do not be swayed by their lying hypoctiical B.S. If you ever looked at any of their tax returns you would probably gag. To watch their machine politics is really depressing to me and very sad for our Country .What makes our country really great is that jerks like that can get up and spew their garbage .They won’t get away with it their formerly insulated little niches in this country are not as nearly hidden as they used to be. The American voters should be insulted by these fops .hopefully most of us won’t forget this Nov.
Why is my comment being moderated? Is this not America with free speech.Moderator if you don’t like mt comments “TakeGas”
Isn’t too bad for our nation that once again, Republicans lacked the cojones, or the brains to defend the US Constitution. The Constitution plainly states that no impeachment motion may proceed without a FULL VOTE OF THE HOUSE CHAMBER, something Nancy Pelosi decided wasn’t needed. WHERE WAS THE REPUBLICAN HOUSE LEADER OBJECTION TO THIS?
You either forgot or don’t know that the Repubs DID protest but they were “reminded” that the Dems held the power and too bad. The Dems claimed they were going to run the show any way they wanted as there are no set rules in the constitution they had to follow and they would interpret any there are in any manner that suits their agenda.
