The Mueller Witchhunt and Lying Adam Schiff’s impeachment hearings of President Trump held in the basement of the Capital are very similar in numerous ways.
Ultimately the Democrats, their Deep State and elites behind these events are destroying the country and the US Constitution.
This past weekend attorney David Rivkin and professor Elizabeth Price Foley wrote an eloquent piece in the Wall Street Journal outlining how the House of Representatives impeachment inquiry is unconstitutional. They wrote –
House Democrats have discarded the Constitution, tradition and basic fairness merely because they hate Mr. Trump. Because the House has not properly begun impeachment proceedings, the president has no obligation to cooperate. The courts also should not enforce any purportedly impeachment-related document requests from the House. (A federal district judge held Friday that the Judiciary Committee is engaged in an impeachment inquiry and therefore must see grand-jury materials from special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, but that ruling will likely be overturned on appeal.) And the House cannot cure this problem simply by voting on articles of impeachment at the end of a flawed process.
Here are eight ways that the Mueller Witchhunt and Lying Adam Schiff’s impeachment hearings of President Trump are similar –
1. Both Begin in the Ukraine –
The Mueller special counsel was created based on a bogus dossier with connections back to the Ukraine. As we reported in December 2018, Andrii Telizhenko was approached by DNC operative Alexandra Chalupa in early 2016. Chalupa wanted dirt on candidate Trump and his campaign manager Paul Manafort. The Ukrainian embassy in Washington DC worked CLOSELY with the DNC operative Chalupa.
Chalupa told Andrii she wanted Russian “dirt” on the Trump campaign.
Alexandra Chalupa was apparently hired by the DNC going as far back as 2013. According to Politico, shortly before the election:
A daughter of Ukrainian immigrants who maintains strong ties to the Ukrainian-American diaspora and the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine, Chalupa, a lawyer by training, in 2014 was doing pro bono work for another client interested in the Ukrainian crisis and began researching Manafort’s role in Yanukovych’s rise, as well as his ties to the pro-Russian oligarchs who funded Yanukovych’s political party.”
According to Politico, Chalupa claimed that in October of 2015 she began investigating Trump’s ties to Russia. Why she began this investigation is completely unknown. The only thing of significance that had happened at this point was that Trump announced he was running for office. There was no apparent triggering event. Candidate Trump had very limited contact with Russia or Russia businessmen.
Lying Adam Schiff’s dungeon impeachment sham is based on this exact same scenario. President Trump asked the Ukraine’s newly elected leader to look into the beginnings of the Russia Witchhunt in the Ukraine. Liberal Democrats believe this is a crime even though their bogus Mueller investigation started based on the exact same bogus actions tied to the Ukraine and Chalupa.
2. Democrats Are Behind the Beginnings of Both Shams
As noted above, the Russia Hoax started in the Ukraine and was instigated by the DNC and Chalupa. It’s also been widely reported that Democrat Hillary Clinton paid for the dossier that was used to surveil candidate and President Trump and which was the basis for the Mueller Witchhunt.
The Schiff Sham was also a Democrat creation. The ‘whistleblower’ who started the sham is widely suspected of being an Obama CIA spy in the Trump White House. This individual, suspected to be Eric Ciaramella, approached Congressman Schiff before filing the faulty ‘whistleblower’ report. If Schiff’s CIA ‘whistleblower’ is outed and if he was spying on President on behalf of Schiff, then they both should be held accountable for conspiracy and treason under the Espionage Act.
3. Both Shams are Based on Fake or Non-Crimes
We reported two years ago that the Mueller investigation was not based on a crime. Gregg Jarrett at FOX News wrote when Mueller initially brought charges against Manafort that Mueller is tasked with finding a crime that does not exist in the law. It is a legal impossibility. He is being asked to do something that is manifestly unattainable because there is no such thing as the crime of collusion with foreign countries in the US statutory code.
George Papadopoulos pled guilty to a single charge of making a false statement to the FBI. He was not charged with so-called “collusion” because no such crime exists in American statutory law, except in anti-trust matters. It has no application to elections and political campaigns.
It is not a crime to talk to a Russian. Not that the media would ever understand that. They have never managed to point to a single statute that makes “colluding” with a foreign government in a political campaign a crime, likely because it does not exist in the criminal codes.
Rivkin and Foley point out that President Trump has similarly committed no crime in regards to his actions with the Ukrainian leader –
The effort has another problem: There is no evidence on the public record that Mr. Trump has committed an impeachable offense. The Constitution permits impeachment only for “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” The Founders considered allowing impeachment on the broader grounds of “maladministration,” “neglect of duty” and “mal-practice,” but they rejected these reasons for fear of giving too much power to Congress. The phrase “high crimes and misdemeanors” includes abuses of power that do not constitute violations of criminal statutes. But its scope is limited.
Abuse of power encompasses two distinct types of behavior. First, the president can abuse his power by purporting to exercise authority not given to him by the Constitution or properly delegated by Congress—say, by imposing a new tax without congressional approval or establishing a presidential “court” to punish his opponents. Second, the president can abuse power by failing to carry out a constitutional duty—such as systematically refusing to enforce laws he disfavors. The president cannot legitimately be impeached for lawfully exercising his constitutional power.
Applying these standards to the behavior triggering current calls for impeachment, it is apparent that Mr. Trump has neither committed a crime nor abused his power. One theory is that by asking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Kyiv’s involvement in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and potential corruption by Joe Biden and his son Hunter was unlawful “interference with an election.” There is no such crime in the federal criminal code (the same is true of “collusion”). Election-related offenses involve specific actions such as voting by aliens, fraudulent voting, buying votes and interfering with access to the polls. None of these apply here.
4. Both Shams are Led by Corrupt and Criminal Actors –
The Hillary email scandal, the beginnings of the Russia Hoax and the Mueller investigation were led by many of the same Obama Administration corrupt players. James Comey, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Andy McCabe, Bruce Ohr, James Clapper, John Brennan, and numerous others were behind setting up of President Trump and his team with bogus crimes. The actions of these individuals were so egregious that they are now the focus of a criminal investigation led by DOJ prosecutor John Durham.
Adam Schiff is running the sham impeachment of President Trump. He is arguably the most dishonest politician in US history. He and his gang of fellow Democrats and Deep State operatives are not concerned with the law or the constitution. If they were, this would never be in place.
5. Both Shams Involve Tampering and Threatening Witnesses
We’ve reported that six out of eight events involving Russians in the Mueller report were set ups by the Deep State. The Mueller gang hired Andrew Weissmann to head the investigation and he is a known crook who was even scolded by the Supreme Court in relation to his actions in the early 2000’s. Weissman and gang pressured General Michael Flynn to sign a statement that he lied to the FBI or they were were going after the General’s son. They withheld evidence that showed that he was innocent and set up by the Deep State.
The Mueller gang pressured young George Papadopoulos as well and withheld information from him that would have exonerated him of any wrongdoing. Paul Manafort was placed in a gag order like Roger Stone is to this day by corrupt DC Judge Amy Berman Jackson. This same corrupt judge placed Manafort in solitary confinement in an alleged effort to make him compose.
Lying Adam Schiff reportedly is pressuring those he is interrogating in the Capital dungeon to make up stories about President Trump committing wrongdoings. Schiff or his team met with the CIA whistleblower before he filed his complaint. Schiff’s team met with their latest witness, Bill Taylor, in the Ukraine before the whistleblower’s complaint went public. Schiff and Pelosi both attended a fundraiser sponsored by a Ukrainian arms dealer for Schiff in 2013 in DC. The corrupt acts by Schiff go on and on.
6. Both Shams Utilize Illegal Convenient Leaks to the Media
During the Russia Hoax the Democrats leaked almost daily to the press news that turned out to be utterly false but nevertheless damaging to President Trump. Devin Nunez, California Republican in the House, stated that he had put together a list of the Democrat leaks to the far-left media –
Well we have over 100 leaks from our committee. Over 100 leaks that didn’t come from the Republican side. So it had to come from the Democratic side. We can’t pin it on a particular member or staff but there’s over 100.
Most of these leaks were no doubt from House liar Adam Schiff, Democrat from California. Schiff has continued this strategy with his fake and unconstitutional impeachment sham. Rivkin and Foley make this statement –
Mrs. Pelosi discarded this process in favor of a Trump-specific procedure without precedent in Anglo-American law. Rep. Adam Schiff’s Intelligence Committee and several other panels are questioning witnesses in secret. Mr. Schiff has defended this process by likening it to a grand jury considering whether to hand up an indictment. But while grand-jury secrecy is mandatory, House Democrats are selectively leaking information to the media, and House Republicans, who are part of the jury, are being denied subpoena authority and full access to transcripts of testimony and even impeachment-related committee documents. No grand jury has a second class of jurors excluded from full participation.
Truly the Democrats aren’t making America great again, they are making America a Banana Republic.
7. Both Shams Involve a Complicit and Rabid Mainstream Media
We put together a list of leaks that were reported in the fake news media in May of 2017 and reported the following in our post that was linked to by the Drudge Report (before Drudge turned into a liberal mouthpiece). We wrote –
Here is updated analysis of the most recent so called ‘leaks’ being reported and repeated by the liberal mainstream media (MSM) involving President Trump. The probability that a portion of these ‘leaks’ are completely inaccurate remains very high.
The leaks are all being reported by biased liberal media outlets that were adamantly opposed to the election of President Trump.
These ‘leaks’ in all cases still are not supported with any names of so-called sources and in all cases the ‘leaks’ are meant to destroy the current President.Former FBI Director James Comey reportedly made statements that were revealed in the media ‘leaks’ but to this date he has not corroborated any of the statements he reportedly made after his firing. Comey was scheduled to go in front of Congress this past week but instead asked to reschedule so he could first talk to Comey’s predecessor at the FBI, Robert Mueller, who is now the appointed Russia Investigation Special Council.
Comey did meet with Mueller, which alone should have disqualified Mueller from his sham investigation. Comey later admitted to some of the leaks and the Deep State FBI claimed none of his leaks were classified. The liberal media continues to post bogus leaks to this day.
Joel Pollak at Breitbart News provided this summary:
In their effort to impugn Trump, the [New York] Times and the [Washington] Post violate the most basic journalistic standards. Publishing parts of a document that you do not possess and cannot verify, and timing the release to cause maximum political damage (right after the president leaves the country), is not investigative journalism. It is political propaganda.
… For the elite mainstream media, when it comes to protecting Democrats or attacking Republicans, there are no journalistic standards, no ethics, and no shame.
The media is no longer just purveyors of ‘fake news’, they are now just plain corrupt, as noted by President Trump –
The Media is “Fixed” and Corrupt. It bears no relationship to the truth. The @nytimes & @washingtonpost are pure fiction. Totally dishonest reporting!

8. Both Shams are Hell Bent on the Destruction of the US Constitution
The Mueller investigation and Obama’s Deep State FBI, CIA, DOJ, State Department and Intel community have done all they can to destroy President Trump and in so doing, damaged America.
We put together a list of over 130 times the FBI, DOJ and/or the Mueller gang “Deviated from Standard Practice” or committed crimes in efforts to exonerate Hillary and indict President Trump. The Deep State goons who went after Trump did not care about the law or the constitution.
In regards to Lying Schiff’s dungeon impeachment proceedings, Rivkin and Foley wrote in the Wall Street Journal –
Alexis de Tocqueville observed in 1835: “A decline of public morals in the United States will probably be marked by the abuse of the power of impeachment as a means of crushing political adversaries or ejecting them from office.” What House Democrats are doing is not only unfair to Mr. Trump and a threat to all his successors. It is an attempt to overrule the constitutional process for selecting the president and thus subvert American democracy itself. For the sake of the Constitution, it must be decisively rejected. If Mr. Trump’s policies are unpopular or offensive, the remedy is up to the people, not Congress.
The grotesque actions taken by the far-left and dishonest players in Congress, Deep State left-overs from the Obama Administration and the corrupt actors in the media, are severely damaging the country and the Constitution. It’s time Americans stand up for the gifts we’ve been given and stop these criminals from making America a Banana Republic.
