The What's Your Point panel weighs in on the House impeachment inquiry hearings
By Greg Groogan. 11-17-19. What's Your Point? FOX 26 Houston Impeachment Hearings this week This week's panel: Wayne Dolcefino, media consultant; Carmen Roe, Houston attorney; Charles Blain, Urban Reform; Tomarro Bell, super neighborhood leader; Michele Maples, conservative attorney; and Antonio Diaz-, writer, educator and radio host, answer the question "Was the president within his rights – or does leveraging American aid for personal, political benefit in a foreign country amount to an abuse of power?" Taking center stage this week in the nation’s capital – impeachment of the president and powerful testimony from multiple career diplomats. They confirmed critical military aid pledged to Ukraine for its defense against Russian aggression – was placed on hold by Mr. Trump. “It's one thing to try to leverage a meeting in the white house,” ambassador Taylor testified Wednesday. “it's another thing, I thought, to leverage security assistance — security assistance to a country at war, dependent on both the security assistance and the demonstration of support.” House Democrats are alleging the president conditioned delivery of weapons to Ukraine on the launch of a criminal investigation into trump political rival joe Biden and his son hunter – essentially using taxpayer-funded foreign aid to gain a personal benefit. The president’s Republican defenders contend that since Ukraine eventually got the aid without initiating a Biden probe – no wrong was committed – including Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan. “It didn’t happen. You had three meetings with the guy, he could have told you. He didn’t announce he was going to do an investigation before the aide happened. It’s not just could it have been wrong, the fact is it was wrong because it didn’t happen. read more

Dan Gainor: Media parrots impeachment (Dem) party line but America not buying
By Dan Gainor | Fox News It was a tale of two worlds — inside and outside the Beltway. Impeachment was the biggest news in decades to those who work and live in the D.C. area. Especially journalists, who saw the hearings as their best chance to finally get revenge on a president they hate. The rest of America had other things on its mind. That became painfully clear as the hearings geared up on Friday and the No. 1 trending topic on Twitter was not the hearings but a fight from the Cleveland Browns-Pittsburgh Steelers game the night before. If you had asked Americans which video they remembered, the hearings or the game, it’s not even close. On one hand you had Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Arkham, obnoxiously silencing Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y. Stupid, but the stuff of grade-school bullies. On the other hand, you had Browns defensive end Myles Garrett ripping off the helmet of Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph and smashing him with it. If you guessed the NFL clip, you are correct. It was broadcast and analyzed almost as much as the Zapruder film. Meanwhile, the press/left tried desperately to convince ordinary voters that these hearings were different than the three-year campaign they had led against President Trump. Skepticism was so commonplace that The New York Post ridiculed the hearings even before they began. The paper was emblazoned with a huge word: “GUILTY” followed by “NOW FOR THE TRIAL…” The cover image was a collage of the Capitol, Schiff decked out as a circus ringleader, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi wearing a clown wig and costume. The only thing missing was a gaggle of clowns representing the adoring press. read more |
