A thought on impeachment: Democrats case has real gaps. The holes are blatant. Witnesses having no evidence. Firsthand witnesses who dispute the allegations. Etc.

For a situation like that, time is the Democrats’ worst enemy. Because there’s key questions they can’t answer. An example: if there was a political bribery scheme going on, like Democrats say, how did it not come up ONCE in FIVE meetings between US-Ukraine over the relevant time period? That makes zero sense. You’re telling me Ukraine was extorted, and they never asked? Or mentioned it?

THREAD: You will probably see plenty of spin and headlines today claiming the FBI is exonerated in this report. That is laughable, to put it lightly. The report eviscerates senior officials who broke rules and abused power.

Let's go over some of the details. For starters, the "no bias" talking point you see is misdirection from the left. See this line, from the IG:

"Our role in this review was not to second-guess discretionary judgments by Department personnel about whether to open an investigation"

In case you were inclined to believe the Democrats' suggestion that their witnesses are unbiased, here's one of them—Noah Feldman—building the case for impeaching President Trump in April, 2017. Not even 3 months after inauguration. How about another? Here's Noah Feldman on impeachment, March 2017. Not even TWO months post inauguration.

The House Democrats' impeachment report is 300 pages of nonsense, with far too many problems to address individually. But let's go over a few of them... 1) Up front, Democrats released this report to the public around 2:00pm. Again, it's 300 pages. They're having the full Intelligence Committee vote on the report the same day... just a few hours later. Should be an automatic red flag.

You see a theme throughout these transcripts of the need to clean up corruption. Ambassador Yovanovitch laid it out: President Trump had a “deep rooted skepticism” about Ukraine corruption, and sending taxpayer funds to a corrupt nation.

She shared the concern on corruption Gordon Sondland explained further: President Trump wanted Ukraine to root out corruption.

“I want nothing. I want no quid pro quo. I want Zelensky to do the right thing... to do what he ran on” (clean up corruption.)

It sure looks like James Comey misled Congress and the American people--at times under oath. Here are 5 questions Director Comey needs to answer. My op-ed--
washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/op-eds… Question 1: Did Comey and his FBI improperly coordinate with former Attorney General Loretta Lynch and the Department of Justice during the height of the Clinton email investigation?

He denied any coordination under oath. Evidence suggests this is not true.

New July 2016 texts between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page show a troubling reference to former FBI Director James Comey potentially intervening in the 2016 election July 28, 2016: Text from Lisa Page to Peter Strzok, citing this article (bit.ly/2hO27Er): “Ha. First line made me smile”

The first line of that article? --“Potentially unpleasant news for Jim Comey: We need you to intervene in the 2016 election again”

Democrats keep complaining about their counter-memo not being released. But if it was so critical, why have 75% of House Dems not even read their own memo?

Perhaps even they know: this memo was written in panic as a misdirection from the disturbing information we already know. Remember what we know: the DNC and Hillary Clinton paid for the dossier. The FBI and DOJ then took that "salacious and unverified" document and used it to get a secret warrant from a secret court to spy on Americans, in the context of a political campaign.

So, there it is. The FBI took an unverified political dossier, paid for by the Clinton campaign and the DNC, and they used it as a central piece in their request to get a warrant for spying on American citizens and political opponents in the Trump campaign. Not only that—senior FBI and DOJ officials knew about the Fusion GPS dossier's political origins and connections to Democrats, and they EXCLUDED that information from their FISA application. They didn't tell a judge that their information was unverified political oppo research.

THREAD: Because through all the "memo" news and headlines, it's critical to remember why this issue is important and why it should matter to everyday Americans What this issue is all about: whether the Department of Justice and FBI, under President Obama, abused their surveillance authority against American citizens and political opponents. Put another way: was the Obama DOJ weaponized to spy on the Trump campaign?

THREAD--explaining the context around the Peter Strzok/Lisa Page text messages, and why they're connected to both the Hillary investigation and this so-called "Russian-collusion" investigation Remember the key figure here: Peter Strzok, the former deputy of counter-intelligence at the FBI. Guy who ran the 2016 Clinton investigation, who interviewed key witnesses including Cheryl Mills, Huma Abedin, and Hillary Clinton. Former Mueller team member. Strzok is the guy here

Today is the 1 year anniversary of the publication of the infamous Russian dossier, developed by Christopher Steele and Fusion GPS, and funded by the Clinton campaign. Here are 5 questions that still need answering ⬇️ 1. Why did the FBI pay Christopher Steele for the Fusion GPS dossier, a political project paid for by the Clinton campaign? Why was the FBI involved in paying for a Democrat political project?

With the long list of Congress' unfulfilled promises and time running short, leaving Washington for a month would be the wrong choice. How long do the American people need to wait to get a #tax cut? How long before they are allowed to keep more of their money?

I agree with the President--this would be an effective approach to the broken system of #Obamacare. Many of my colleagues and I originally supported separate repeal/replace on same timeline so that we can both keep promise of full repeal--

I applaud @POTUS for following through on a campaign promise he made to millions of voters across the country. #ParisAgreement @POTUS The #ParisAccord is a bad deal for the American people—it hampers economic growth, burdens job creators, and stifles innovation.
