Juge Napolitano's Defense of Adam Schiff's Star Chamber is Fake News on Steroids

As many here know, I'm of the Ann Coulter school of thought on Trump. However, I dislike all injustice, especially that which affects all of America profoundly. In addition, WTF happened to this guy? Did they rendition him in the middle of the night to an MK Ultra site? One day he's getting fired for pointing out all the un-consitutionalities of the federal government, the next, this.

Breitbart article

Andrew Napolitano, the embittered Never Trumper who got absolutely everything wrong for three years about the Russia Collusion Hoax, is now deliberately deceiving Fox News viewers with the dishonest claim Republicans wrote the rules that allow for Rep. Adam Schiff’s (D-CA) unprecedented and un-American secret impeachment hearings.

Napolitano said on Fox & Friends Thursday, “I read the House rules, and as frustrating as it may be to have these hearings going on behind closed doors, the hearings for which Congressman Schiff is presiding, they are consistent with the rules.”

He continued:

When were the rules written last? In January of 2015. And who signed them? John Boehner. And who enacted them? A Republican majority. These are not the impeachment hearings. The impeachment hearings have to be held in public by the House Judiciary Committee. This is the initial interview of witnesses to see what they have to say.

This is not just a lie coming from Napolitano. It is an audacious lie spewed by a man who knows his network will never hold him accountable for yet another spray of fake news.

First off, the idea that these are not secret impeachment hearings, but rather the “initial interview of witnesses” is just false. Schiff is not conducting a process where witnesses are giving depositions and statements in private, which is proper when you are doing oversight. Instead, these are full-blown hearings — secret hearings — involving testimony and cross examination while denying the accused — President Trump — due process.

Secondly, Napolitano can try to compare this to a grand jury all he wants, but grand juries exist in complete secrecy, where leaks are illegal and vigorously prosecuted, and Schiff has been leaking selectively and shamelessly since this process began.

So what we have here is Schiff abusing the rules by running secret hearings that allow him to overturn a presidential election by trying his case in public with selective leaks, defying the rules wholesale with these selective leaks, and we all know why Schiff is running an impeachment trial in secret…

So that he will not have to call for a public hearing....

just for the heck of it I watched one of the fake news networks, they are trying to convince the public Trump is being impeached and hes a terrible president, total twilight zone...I guess about half the public gets there news from the boob tube, they know not of the alternative media that is telling the truth and I'm sure they don't read anything posted on this site, they are in the matrix.

Comment by Less Prone on October 27, 2019 at 2:31am: This poll says the propaganda to take him down is working, but reality may be different.

New Poll Shows 50% of Americans Now Favor Impeachment

It's CNN, so ...

Then this one

A Thousand dollar question...

Comment by Less Prone on October 26, 2019 at 5:09pm: JR, I hope you're right. No-one deserves the democrats.

Comment by James Roberts on October 26, 2019 at 1:01pm: Boris, hadn't heard anything along those lines. Thanks for the info.

Less Prone - I disagree. I don't think the public is turning against Trump. I don't support him myself any more, for obvious reasons. But I think he's going to win in a huge landslide, maybe the biggest ever in a US Pres election. Because the Democrats have 15 Mondales, but instead of being so milquetoast you barely notice they're in the room, they're talking crazy siht about things nobody wants, or cares about. Russia, climate change, open borders, medicare for all, etc. He's going to wipe the floor with them at debates, like never before.

Comment by MAC on October 26, 2019 at 12:49pm: Ruppert Murdochs spoiled fucking socialist sons were always on the dark side, it is only of late they show the truth because is is already out in the light. you don't see them talking about chemtrails or talking about energy weapons used in the California fires, or how about them running cover on the deep state nwo globalist in the republican party, are they not calling them never trumpers, if that isn't running cover on the treasoniest bastards within our government I don't know what is.

Comment by Doc Vega on October 26, 2019 at 5:01am: Sadly it appears that Fox is slowly turning toward the dark side adopting the same chickenshit sold out stance as the other networks thanks to Ruppert Murdochs spoiled fucking socialist sons! Why is it that all these assholes with a silver spoon in their mouths think socialism is a panacea? Dumb bastards never had to work for a living that's why!

Comment by Less Prone on October 26, 2019 at 4:56am: With the media circus continuously blaming Trump with absurdities the public is little by little turning against him. Can you see the similarities with what was done to John Lennon? Negative publicity drives unstable individuals into violent acts. This is what the democrat leadership is driving at. The baseless impeachment is just a process they use to discredit and smear Trump. There are people who threat the president with death and go free. They should be punished before someone takes real action. And the impeachment process should be open so that everybody sees it's a hoax.

Comment by Boris on October 26, 2019 at 12:57am: Nap was caught with classified info via NYC cops and NY area FBI re: Anthony wiener laptop and HRC . He flipped after a secret indictment was processed I suspect.

Comment by MAC on October 26, 2019 at 12:08am: it must be driving them nuts they can't find anything Trump ever did that they can use against him, so they make up shit that isn't true...for crying out loud Trump doesn't even drink or smoke, he should be made a saint lol
