Kevin McCarthy: House Vote Made Adam Schiff ‘Judge, Jury And Prosecutor’ In Trump Impeachment

McCarthy singled out House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff ...

"They made Adam Schiff not only a fact witness, but he’s the judge, the jury and the prosecutor. That is unheard of.” McCarthy said.
...
“Never in our history have we ever moved through such a partisan impeachment movement. This is unheard of, and what they’re trying to do, remember, what is today, November 3rd. We are exactly one year away from Americans going to the polls to vote for the president. They’re trying the change the outcome of 2016 and influence the next one,” McCarthy added

Hm... so, when will Trump leave the White House?

After all, if Schiff is set on getting rid of Trump, AND he is prosecutor, judge and jury... the case is closed. Trump is guilty and will have to be removed.

Right?

Do you guys actually believe this stuff or is it just sport at this point to continue?

Trump calls for his impeachment, McCarthy says Schiff is judge, jury and prosecutor and yet, the impeachment continues. It seems like you’re all just trying to convince yourselves at this point.

A remarkably stupid statement, considering that in the likely but not yet definite event of an impeachment, Chief Justice Roberts will be the judge, the Senate will be the jury, and the executioner? Maybe we can hold a raffle for that one...

...and nothing Schiff can possibly say or do can change any of that.

Is McCarthy genuinely ignorant of the Constitution, or is he simply making an emotional appeal to people who are?

"NOT ONE article of impeachment has been filed ... This is nothing but an investigation"
Not one crime is known to have been committed ... yet they search in vain for a crime, any crime.

Who are you, the Red Queen? "‘No, no!’ said the Queen. ‘Sentence first — verdict afterwards.’"

Investigation first. Impeachment second.

Again, the question: What crime has been committed? What is there to investigate?

Abuse of power certainly comes under the ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’ section of the constitutional requirement for impeachment. If it’s proven (and given the transcript is pretty clear and his own chief of staff admitted it), by all rights he should be toast come the impeachment trial.

Literally the only chance he has is his own senators giving him a free pass due to partisan sycophancy. The abuse of power is extremely clear.

LOL ... "Abuse of power".

That's the best the left can throw at Trump? Nothing unconstitutional? Nothing illegal?

Noting that abuse of power is prosecuting a person for a crime ... when no crime has been committed. Jus' sayin ...

Using the power of US military aid to gain personal benefit is indeed an abuse of power. Perhaps there’s another term for it. Blatant corruption perhaps.

Oh and incidentally, witness intimidation certainly is illegal, and doesn’t need any interpretation. When Trump threatened to reveal embarrassing personal information to Cohen’s family while Cohen was being questioned by Mueller, that was extremely plain and simple witness intimidation. Yet another crime that so many are happy to just pretend never happened despite Trump tweeting it publicly.
