The open hearings in the US Senate Judiciary Committee of the Inspector General Horowitz's report have revealed something interesting. Throughout the House of Representative’s two committee inquiries of both the Intelligence and Judiciary committees, the behavior and form of questioning done by both sides of the aisle were so different. The Democrats led under both Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler led the questioning in a very business manner. The questions were direct and to the point, the manner was respectful to the process. The Republicans, on the other hand, seemed to be intent on downplaying the proceedings rather than take an active and serious search for the truth. They lectured without a lesson, sanctimonious without morals, deceitful without question.
Nancy Pelosi has been transparent in her attempts to not railroad the President, wanting to avoid impeachment hearings if at all possible as pressure built to move ahead without all the facts. But Trump being Trump had forced her hand. The phone conversation with President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine and the question of quid pro quo seemed to tip the scales in favor of Pelosi moving ahead with impeachment.
The denial of truth has been a constant tactic of the Republicans and the president. The number of people who have been convicted from one administration is astounding, the total lack of understanding of his job is perilous, and execution of his job is dangerous, as he has been described as a clear and present danger to the US.
What the Democrats have done is make the hearings apolitical, yet the Republicans try to make it partisan as much as possible. One party seeks the truth, the other diversions.
Then we cross over to the Senate and Lindsey Graham’s Judiciary Committee, who are investigating the Michael Horowitz, US Justice Department Inspector General report that stated: NO EVIDENCE OF SPYING ON THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN! Yet Graham shamefully carries on his disinformation campaign and denial of the truth. I wonder what he would have said about things if Obama were the president in question?
Michael Flynn, Carter Paige, Michael Cohen, Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, and George Papadopoulos are all convicted and in prison under Trump. Trump and the GOP constantly compared itself with the Obama administration.
Obama - 8years in office. Zero criminal indictments, zero convictions, and zero prison sentences.
