Maddow began the segment calling it “odd” that some senators were falling asleep or walking out of the trial prematurely.
“These are people who are supposed to be listening, hearing and then making a decision on what’s being presented all day long. We’ve also heard a lot of people have made up their minds already and are not actually taking their oath seriously,” she added.
Chris Hayes, another MSNBC host, compared the lawmakers obligation to that of every citizen to serve on juries.
“If the trial goes for a long time, often they don’t collect their paycheck from that and are given a meager amount of money relative to what some of those people might make,” Hayes explained.
“This is literally their job,” he added. “If you find it too annoying or frustrating or uncomfortable to sit for eight hours and listen, you can resign tomorrow and go get another job.” – READ MORE


truepundit--2020-01-24--Fake Investigations… Designed To Fool You

Most of the big ‘ investigations ’ in the news in recent years have not been at all what they pretended to be .
The sham investigations of Hillary ’ s email , or the Clinton Foundation , or Weiner ’ s laptop , or Uranium One , or Mueller ’ s witch hunt , or Huber ’ s big nothing , or the IG ’ s whitewash , or the Schiff-Pelosi charades , have all been premeditated deceptions .
There are three types of investigations that call for different deceptions by the Deep State .
The first type is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be the attempt to find the truth about Fast and Furious ( Obama ’ s gunrunning operation ) , or the IRS scandal ( Obama ’ s weaponizing of government ) .
In response to real investigations , the criminals do two things… lie and hide evidence .
Key evidence , even if it is under subpoena , just disappears .
In the IRS case , Lois Lerner ’ s relevant email and the email of 6 others involved in the scheme was just “ lost ” .
The IRS “ worked tirelessly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hard drives had been destroyed and back-up drives were missing , so the subpoenaed evidence could not be provided .
For the Deep State , hiding and destroying evidence of guilt is standard operating procedure .
They simply report a “ glitch ” that destroyed the key evidence and that ’ s the end of it .
Or , they simply redact the portions of the record that would expose the truth .
To my memory , no one ever suffers any consequences for this .
Even now , Director Wray and others @ @ @ @ @ @ @ type of ‘ investigation ’ is when the Deep State pretends to investigate the Deep State .
In these ‘ investigations ’ the outcome is known in advance , but the script calls for pretending , sometimes for years , that it an honest investigation is underway .
There was nothing about the Hillary investigations that had anything to do with finding facts .
The purpose from the beginning was exoneration .
Key witnesses were given immunity and many were allowed to attend each other ’ s interviews .
There were no early @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Evidence was destroyed with no consequences .
When Anthony Weiner ’ s laptop was found to contain over 340,000 Hillary emails in a file named “ insurance ” , the FBI did not rejoice about finally getting the ‘ lost ’ email .
No , they hid the discovery for weeks until a New York agent threatened to go public .
Then , quite miraculously , Peter Strzok found a way to very quickly examine 340,000 messages and found that there was nothing at all that was incriminating .
No rational person @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are so comfortable about getting away with lies like this that Huber can announce that he found no corruption , when it is readily apparent that he did not interview key witnesses .
He even turned away whistleblowers who wanted to submit evidence .
A real investigator , Charles Ortel , could have given Huber a long list of Clinton Foundation crimes .
Like the Weiner laptop fake investigation , you don ’ t find crimes if you don ’ t really look for them .
The dirty cops are so confident in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they just announced that the FISA court reforms will be managed by David Kris .
Kris has been a defender of FBI misconduct and he attacked Devin Nunes for telling the truth about the FISA court .
They don ’ t even care about the appearance of fairness .
They do what they want .
IG investigations have proven to be flimsy exonerations of Deep State criminality .
Any honest observer can see that there was a carefully organized plan by top officials to control the outcome of the Presidential election .
This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ court , illegal surveillance and unmasking of citizens and conspiring with media partners to make sure lies were widely circulated to voters .
The government conspirators and the majority of the media were functioning as nothing more than a branch of Hillary ’ s campaign .
That ’ s a lot of power aimed at destroying Trump .
To an IG investigator , this monumental scandal was presented to us as nothing to be very concerned about .
Yes , a few minor rules were inadvertently broken and there did appear to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reason at all to think that bias effected any actions .
If the agencies involved make a training video and set aside a day for a training meeting , then that should satisfy us completely .
The third type of investigation involves investigating an imaginary crime for political reasons .
The Mueller investigation and the impeachment investigation are two examples of this .
Probably as a justification for illegal surveillance they were already doing , the conspirators pretended that there was powerful evidence that Trump was colluding with Putin to win the election @ @ @ @ @ @ @ country into 3 years of stories about nothing… stories and investigations about something that never happened .
Never in the history of nothing has nothing been so thoroughly covered .
Because there was nothing , and because it was known from the start that , “ there is no big there , there ” , the Mueller Team used several irrelevant legal actions to prolong the belief that they were closing in on Trump .
Mueller arranged for their media partner , CNN , to film the early morning swat team raid on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ home .
It was very dramatic and very un-necessary .
Also , some small-time Russian troll farms were indicted so that the word “ Russia ” could fill the news , prolonging the desired myth .
One of the indicted firms did not even exist .
The others did not appear to favor any one candidate and much of their activity was after the election .
Mueller led a 40 million dollar investigation looking for a crime .
That effort failed at finding any collusion , but it did play a role in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ House of Representatives .
That then enabled another investigation of an imaginary crime for political purposes .

The Supreme Court agreed Friday to decide two cases that could forever change how American presidents are elected.
The central question the Supreme Court will answer is this: Are electors, members of the Electoral College who cast the actual votes for president and vice president, bound to follow their state’s popular vote results? Or are electors free to vote as they see fit?
Officially, the court agreed to hear two cases: Chiafalo v. Washington and Colorado Department of State v. Baca.
In Chiafalo, three Washington state electors were each fined $1,000 after the 2016 election because they did not cast their Electoral College vote for Hillary Clinton, who won their state’s popular vote; they voted for Colin Powell, instead. In Baca, the state of Colorado completely tossed elector Michael Baca’s vote because he voted for former Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R), not Clinton, who won Colorado’s popular vote. – READ MORE

Impeachment backfire? Key GOP senator ‘offended’ by Nadler charge, as trial tests patience and stamina

House Democrats ’ handling of the Trump impeachment to date may be turning off Republicans — notably , those seen as possible defectors in a final vote .

Jerrold Nadler ’ s assertion that GOP members voting against allowing new testimony and evidence were engaged in a “ cover-up.
” “ I took it as offensive , ” she told reporters Wednesday .
“ As one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to get to a fair process , I was offended.
” Nadler ’ s opening statement , which led to U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts admonishing those in the chamber , accused Republican senators of “ voting for a cover-up , voting to deny witnesses , an absolutely indefensible vote , obviously a treacherous vote.
” Murkowski ’ s complaint about Nadler ’ s remarks is particularly noteworthy , as she is among the small group of Republican senators seen as a possible swing vote on impeachment and a possible supporter of allowing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trial .
But Murkowski is not alone—Sen .
Josh Hawley , R-Mo.
, on Wednesday said Democrats “ took a huge step backward ” in their opening .
“ I mean , that ’ s an extraordinary thing to say on the floor of the United States Senate , the middle of the trial , and that ’ s what drew the rebuke and rightly so , ” Hawley told reporters .

Lead House impeachment manager Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) told the Senate impeachment trial Thursday that President Donald Trump should be removed from office because he did not obey the talking points prepared by bureaucrats who work for him.
According to Schiff, the president — who has primary authority under the U.S. Constitution to determine U.S. foreign policy — did not follow “U.S. policy” in speaking with Ukraine’s president.
Schiff said: I just want to underscore this: he’s not obligated to use his talking points. He’s not obligated to follow the recommendations of his staff no matter how sound they may be. But what this makes clear is it wasn’t U.S. policy that he was conducting. It was his private, personal interests that he was conducting.

Up to one million non-citizens living in New York City may obtain voting rights for local elections if a plan by Democrat city councilmembers is approved.
As Breitbart News reported, Democrat city councilmembers are considering legislation that allows eligible legal immigrants to vote in citywide elections — similar to San Francisco, California, policy where non-citizens are allowed to vote in local school board elections.
Anywhere between 500,000 to one million non-citizens in New York City would be granted the right to vote in local elections if the legislation is approved by the city’s 51-member city council, sources told the New York Daily News.
Pushing the legislation is Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez (D-Manhattan) along with 22 other Democrat councilmembers and the city’s Public Advocate Jumaane Williams.
The law would give local electoral power to the city’s massive 3.1 million foreign-born population — making up almost 40 percent of the total city population. The majority of the city’s foreign-born population has arrived from the Dominican Republic, China, Mexico, Jamaica, Guyana, Ecuador, and Haiti, Trinidad and Tobago, Bangladesh, and India. – READ MORE

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin took a shot at teen climate activist Greta Thunberg on Thursday, saying he would heed her advice after she went to college and got an economics degree.
The comments happened during a press conference at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where some of the world’s most important economic players have gathered this week. Thunberg has been driving a conversation about climate change and sustainability throughout the week, and criticized nations like the United States for doing “basically nothing” to reduce their emissions.
