Doug Collins blasts Nadler, Dems for delaying impeachment vote: 'This is bush league'
By Julia Musto | Fox News Rep. Doug Collins slams Democrats for delaying impeachment vote: This is bush league House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Rep. Doug Collins lectures Democrats' 'stunt' to hold over the impeachment vote on 'Fox & Friends.' House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga., blasted House Democrats on Friday for delaying impeachment proceedings. The committee's chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., abruptly wrapped up an all-day marathon hearing on the adoption of two articles of impeachment against President Trump by delaying planned votes on the matter until Friday morning. Nadler said that he wanted "members on both sides of the aisle to think about what has happened over these last two days, and to search their consciences before we cast their final votes." The decision sparked outrage among Republicans. REPUBLICANS ERUPT AS NADLER SUDDENLY POSTPONES IMPEACHMENT VOTE NEAR MIDNIGHT Appearing on "Fox & Friends" with hosts Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt, and Brian Kilmeade, Collins said that Democrats wanted to prolong the voting process. "They got tired. And they said Chairman Nadler made a calculation that they wanted to make sure that they could get it to another morning," he explained. "They wanted to drag this out a little bit further because they have nothing that they have on this president. We proved all day yesterday that the facts are just wrong. They are on the wrong side of history," he stated. "So last night to be, I guess, cute ... they said we will put this off to go prayerfully consider what we're going to do at 10 a.m.," he told the "Friends" hosts. "Brian, they have not prayerfully considered anything for three years. They have wanted to impeach this president since the day he was elected." read more

William Barr Has Suddenly Become Chatty—and He’s Provided Quite an Information Dump
Sharyl Attkisson. CONTRIBUTOR. THE EPOCH TIMES December 11, 2019 Updated: December 12, 2019 In each of two video appearances, on NBC News and at Wall Street Journal’s “CEO Council,” Attorney General William Barr provided the same basic information and views about the U.S. intelligence community’s actions against the Trump campaign in 2016 and 2017. A criminal investigation is underway and being led by U.S. Attorney John Durham. Barr was motivated to make the public statements, he said, by the misreporting and confusion surrounding Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report issued on Dec. 9. It found serious government surveillance abuses but no evidence of political bias on the part of the offending FBI officials and agents. Below are 24 points Barr felt the need to make after the release of the Horowitz report. (All of the information is attributed to Barr.) 1. Don’t expect Durham’s findings to be announced before late spring or summer 2020. 2. The FBI did spy on the Trump campaign. That’s what electronic surveillance is. 3. Regarding the FBI’s actions in surveilling Trump campaign associates, it was a “travesty” and there were “many abuses.” 4. From “day one,” the FBI investigation generated exculpatory information (tending to point to the targets’ innocence) and nothing that corroborated Russia collusion. 5. It’s a “big deal” to use U.S. law enforcement and intelligence resources to investigate the opposing political party, and I cannot think of another recent instance in which this happened. 6. Evidence to start the FBI’s investigation into Trump associates was “flimsy” from the start and based on the idea that Trump aide George Papadopoulos expressed he may have had pre-knowledge of a Democrat National Committee computer hack. However, it was actually just an offhand barroom comment by a young campaign aide described merely as a “suggestion of a suggestion, a vague allusion” to the fact that the Russians may have something they can dump. But by that time, May 2016, there was already rampant speculation online and in political circles that the Russians had hacked Hillary Clinton’s emails in 2014 and that they might surface. So the idea that Papadopoulos’s comment showed pre-knowledge of the Democratic National Committee hack and dump “is a big stretch.” read the rest at the EpochTimes |
