No due process for the president

Posted November 25, 2019 12:00 am

Marie Yovanovitch, Schiff's star witness, was asked two questions. Do you have any information regarding the president accepting bribes. Her answer "No." Do you have any evidence of any criminal activity by the president. Her answer: "No." Two other Schiff witnesses answered "No" to similar questions.

In 1942, Josef Stalin executed 48 military officers including 17 generals. All were convicted of hearsay accusations with no trial. Our president is getting the Stalin treatment, no trial, no evidence, no due process. After this week's Schiff hearing, he will have interviewed 11 well-prepped Never Trumpers. No conservative witnesses will be heard from. No due process.

Many of you say Trump is a criminal, but you overlook the crime in your own party. You all overlook the criminal activity of the Clintons, Bidens, Pelosi, Reed and Schakowsky. These people have accumulated millions from their family-controlled foundations, hedge funds and consulting firms.

I would put Durbin in this group. That would be hearsay. Oh, Mike Quigley, an Illinois Democrat, stated last week said that hearsay can be more important than other evidence.
