Adam Schiff should be forced to take oath before every hearing

For three years now, Democrats have threatened to impeach President Trump for not taking seriously enough the efforts by foreign governments to meddle in our 2016 elections.

Then evidence surfaces revealing Mr. Trump's earnest effort to confront a foreign government and pressure them to investigate and turn over information about their meddling in the 2016 elections.

Now Democrats want to impeach Mr. Trump for that.

Of course, the whole reason Democrats are so glued to this idea of impeaching Mr. Trump is that they look at their current field of candidates for 2020 and realize that Mr. Trump is on the verge of getting re-elected.

Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire testified before the House "Intelligence" committee about Mr. Trump's effort to look into foreign meddling in the 2016 election.

The whole thing quickly devolved into another comical farce when Rep. Adam B. Schiff, California Democrat and "Intelligence" chairman, kicked off the hearing by setting aside the just-released transcript of the telephone call between Mr. Trump and the president of Ukraine.

Of what exactly? A cover-up of a non-crime? Did he attempt to cover up the simple fact that he was doing his job? At any rate, it is hard to accuse Mr. Trump of a cover-up when he is the one who unilaterally declassified the transcript of his call with the Ukrainian president as well as the official complaint by the hearsay gossip "Whistleblower." Certainly, if Mr. Trump is running a cover-up here, he is doing a very bad job of it.
