Fascistic dildo Adam Schiff given sweeping powers in impeachment inquiry.
House Democrats are running roughshod over longstanding legal principles in their fanaticism to impeach President Trump and have just implemented another rule insane change.
Following Nancy Pelosi’s big Halloween announcement that creepy Adam Schiff’s secret hearings in the Capitol basement would now be at least partially open to the public, the deck will be stacked against Republicans.
The rigged process was just put on steroids after the passage of House Resolution 660 which puts the impeachment completely under Schiff’s control and allows the beady-eyed congressman from Hollywood to withhold the content of his secret depositions as well as transcripts.
As the Beatles once sang, we’re Back in the USSR!
The Dems' resolution gives Schiff, the man who has been blatantly lying and keeping things secret since the launch of this sham inquiry, far-reaching power over the impeachment proceedings. Does anyone expect him to change his ways after the vote? https://t.co/KRcTtif4LH

The Washington Examiner’s Byron York has a more apropos title for the resolution, he calls it the “Adam Schiff Empowerment Act”:
The resolution gives Rep. Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, far-reaching power over the Trump impeachment proceedings. Speaker Nancy Pelosi remains the ultimate authority, of course, but, like a chairman of the board choosing a chief executive officer, she has picked Schiff to run the show. And in the resolution, Democrats will give him near-total control.
The first thing the resolution will do is give the impeachment investigation to the Intelligence Committee. Until now, three committees — Intelligence, Oversight, and Foreign Affairs — have been conducting impeachment interviews. Going forward, Oversight and Foreign Affairs will be out of the interview picture in favor of Intelligence.
Among other things, that would mean that some Republicans who have been persistent critics of the process but who have been allowed into depositions by virtue of their membership in other participating committees — two examples are Oversight Committee members Rep. Jim Jordan and Rep. Mark Meadows — will no longer be allowed in the interview room.
AND
The resolution also gives Schiff total control over whether transcripts of depositions already completed and those yet to be done will be made public. “The chair is authorized to make publicly available in electronic form the transcripts of depositions conducted by the [Intelligence Committee] in furtherance of the investigation,” says the resolution. That means Schiff can release transcripts, but it does not mean he must release transcripts.
The resolution would also give Schiff the authority to call and conduct public hearings on impeachment. Schiff will control the witnesses. Although there has been some discussion about whether Republicans will have the right to call witnesses, the resolution only gives the ranking Republican on the Intelligence Community, Rep. Devin Nunes, the right to ask Schiff to call a witness.
In a nutshell, a grossly unfair process that flies in the face of how the Founding Fathers envisioned impeachment when they wrote the U.S. Constitution is now going to be a license for the sneaky, truth-challenged Schiff to put on an inquisition that ranks right up there with the infamous Moscow Show trials during Stalin’s reign of terror.

That’s exactly how Republican Steve Scalise sees Schiff’s scam and on Thursday, he denounced the Dems’ Soviet-style tactics in the House.

According to Scalise:
“This is unprecedented. It’s not only unprecedented, this is Soviet style rules. Maybe in the Soviet Union, you do things like this where only you make the rules.”
And he is absolutely correct because the Dems are the new Soviets with their secret police, secret evidence, lack of due process, propaganda and they even had their own version of Stalin’s ruthless henchman Lavrentiy Beria.
Beria’s chilling quote of “show me the man, I’ll find you the crime” was embodied in modern from by special counsel Robert Mueller before his epic flameout but Schiff is determined to conduct his lynching directly out of Stalin 101.
Shameful and pretty damned un-American as well.
