More fireworks are expected today as the House Judiciary Committee presents the majority’s 300-page report on President Trump’s handling of Ukraine.
When Trump was asked yesterday for his reaction to the scuffle taking place between Democrats and Republicans on the committee, he said he “watched a little” of the impeachment hearing” and “It’s a disgrace, it’s a hoax.”
Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) continually pounded his gavel yesterday as several Republican congressman demanded he recognize their points of order.
The greatest contention occurred when Democratic counsel Barry Berk left the witness table and sat in the council chair next to Rep. Nadler. Rep. Louie Gohmert (R–TX) challenged Nadler having Berk both testify and serve as the counsel questioning the Intelligence staffers.
At one point Gohmert said, “This is wrong… How much money do you have to give to get to do that?”
Stephen Castor, a staff counsel presenting the Republican version of the inquiry from the Intelligence Committee said, “The impeachment inquiry’s record is riddled with hearsay, presumptions and speculation.”
At one point yesterday, an unidentified man stood up at the back of the committee hearing room and shouted that Nadler and his fellow Democrats are “committing treason against this country.” He then raised his phone as if to record the exchange and shouted, “America is done with this.”
Watch the video and see how Democrats are doing what they always blame President Trump of – acting lie jackbooted fascists.
