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....
