House Democrats Start Fake Impeachment Hearings

Rep. Doug Collins, the ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee, sent a letter to Chairman Jerry Nadler about his plans for fake impeachment.

In light of Monday's hearing entitled, "Lessons from the Mueller Report: Presidential Obstruction and Other Crimes," I am compelled to remind you- and request you remind the Majority Members of the Committee - the Rules of the House prohibit Members from "Engag[ing] in personalities" with Members of Congress, Senators, or the President.

Personally disparaging the manner in which the President carries out the duties of the office can constitute a personality, such as when the remarks suggest that the President is an undemocratic leader akin to a dictator.

A Member may not read in debate extraneous material personally abusive of the President that would be improper if spoken in the Member's own words, such as material labeling the President's statement a lie.

Although wide latitude is permitted in debate on a proposition to impeach the President, Members must abstain from language personally offensive; and Members must abstain from comparisons to the personal conduct of sitting Members of the House or Senate.

When impeachment is not the pending business on the floor, Members may not refer to evidence of alleged impeachable offenses by the President contained in a communication from an independent counsel pending before a House committee, although they may refer to the communication, itself, within the confines of proper decorum in debate, and may not otherwise suggest that the President has done something worthy of censure or impeachment.

The media and the left are at a loss to handle Barr because he doesn't fit their typical anti-Trump narrative: he's not friends with Trump, he didn't know Trump before Trump won the election, he didn't/doesn't hang out with Trump, he doesn't golf with Trump, he's already been A.G., he was making big money at a fancy law firm, so why would he take this job? Maybe he thought some real serious stuff was going down at the DoJ?"It is shocking how much he has echoed the president's own statements," said Mary McCord, who led the Justice Department's national security division at the end of the Obama administration and the start of the Trump era.
