'Last week's sessions weren't just secret.

They were super-secret.'

@ByronYork
washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…
The beginning:

"There have so far been two hearings in the House Democrats' effort to impeach President Trump over the Ukraine matter.

Both have been held in secret.

One was Thursday, the other Friday, and the public does not know what was said in either.
Two more are scheduled for this week and will be held behind closed doors, too.
The hearings are part of an effort to remove the president from office.

There could not be a matter of more pressing public concern.

There could not be a matter in which the American people have a greater stake.

And yet the public has no idea what is being discovered."
And the finale:

"The impeachment proceedings should be opened up — now."

'First, the idea that Trump had for many years been a Russian ally, even an agent, was hard to believe given that there had been no mention of this during a long career lived entirely in the spotlight.'

@LeeSmithDC
realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2019/…
Here's the last paragraph, and it's a doozy...

"Thus the panicked clamor coursing through the press at present is not about Joe Biden or his son or Trump’s alleged commerce with foreign powers.

Rather, it is the fear that the Russiagate bubble is likely to burst.
And the fear that none of the reporters, intelligence officials, and political operatives responsible for pushing the largest and most destructive conspiracy theory in American history will escape the ruin."

'Ukraine’s leaders acted assiduously to secure the protection and loyalty of the U.S. government by coopting influential individuals of America’s political class. Many of these Western elites were powerful members of the Democratic Party.'

@WeTheBrandon

An excerpt: (read the article)

"That so many powerful people from America’s political class appear to have been bought-and-paid-for by Ukrainian partisans is disturbing enough.

That this reality could help precipitate a potential conflict with Russia is even worse.
More than that, though, the idea that the president cannot demand that U.S. taxpayers get a better deal for risking so much by giving so much to a failing state, like Ukraine; ...

'Nixon remains the Democrats’ nirvana. He resigned to avoid impeachment and virtually certain removal. Its lessons, however, are that overwhelming evidence and bipartisan consensus are required.

With Trump, the Democrats have neither.'
spectator.org/the-democrats-…
Here's an excerpt from the article. (read the whole thing)

"First, they lack the evidence to make an impeachment case beyond their base.
For most Americans, the protracted Mueller investigation’s bland conclusion and Mueller’s poor testimony closed that case; pursuing it further looks less like evidence and more like vendetta.

House Democrats are holding impeachment inquiry interviews in secret. Say secrecy is needed to protect identity of whistleblower. 'The whistleblower has the right in the statute to remain anonymous,' said Schiff, citing ICWPA. 1/4 ow.ly/3nWV50wEGJe
In fact, law says: 'The inspector general shall not disclose the identity of the employee without the consent of the employee, unless the inspector general determines that such disclosure is unavoidable during the course of the investigation...' 2/4 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…
The doesn't sound like a rock-solid right to remain anonymous. Now, whistleblower is in middle of impeachment proceeding. 3/4 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…

Thread: News Summary from the Week that Was (15 – 21 September)

1. Time for another edition of the news from last week that the legacy media buried or obfuscated because the stories don’t fit their “Republican bad, Democrats good” narrative.
2. For starters, let’s look at some more good economic news that will NEVER see the light of day on the likes of CNN or MSNBC:

<quote>
2A. [T]he Census Bureau released its report on the nation’s income, poverty, and health-insurance coverage for 2018.

Thread: News Summary from the Week that Was (30 June – 6 July)

1. My focus in these weekly news summaries remains on stories that the legacy media either doesn’t report or – if they do – then never provide the proper context and follow-up.
2. Let’s get started. The first item that caught my eye was this commentary by Byron York on the apparent escalation of violence by anti-Trump forces:

<quote>
2A. The toxicity of the resistance to President Trump has risen in recent days, with the nation's most respected newspapers publishing rationalizations for denying Trump supporters public accommodation and for doxxing career federal employees, ….

"[Mueller] said, 'Well, John, I need to know what was in the president's head,'" Dowd recalled. "I said you already do, you know in real time."

Incredible article from @ByronYork washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…
"[Mueller said] he's a witness-slash-subject. And I said, you mean he has no exposure? He said that's right. So I knew then for sure, by inference, that [Mueller] had nothing to proceed on in the collusion and conspiracy area."

March 2018! A year ago!
"He dropped that on the table, and I reacted very strongly," Dowd recalled. "I said go ahead..."

"Then he backed off, he said don't get upset," Dowd continued.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA I can not wait to read all of the Trump lawyers books about how this all went down. Incredible.

House will question Comey tomorrow. Some members didn't want to; wanted Rosenstein instead. But Comey it is, so what to ask? Some Rs will hit Hillary emails, while others say that's over, done with. Others will focus on Trump-Russia, dossier. 1/7 ow.ly/5N1330mTpOQ
But what about Michael Flynn? Comey spoke privately to Congress about Flynn in 2017, but public has only tiny snippets of what he said. This time, House can question, then release full transcript. So some questions: 2/7 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…
1) Did Comey ever see wiretaps of Flynn-Kislyak conversations? 2) Did he see 302 from Flynn interview? 3) Ever discuss Flynn interview with agents who questioned him? 4) Did agents think Flynn tried to deceive them? 3/7 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…
