U.S. Representative Mike Johnson (LA-04) today made the following remarks during the House Judiciary Committee’s impeachment hearing exposing Democrats’ partisan impeachment inquiry: “From the fraudulent process and the broken procedure to the Democrats' unfounded claims, the full facts are obviously not before us today. We've been allowed no fact witnesses here at all. For the first time ever, this committee – which is the one in Congress that has the actual jurisdiction over impeachment – is being given no access to the underlying evidence that Adam Schiff and his political accomplices claim supports this charade. This is a shocking denial of due process. “The greatest danger of this fraudulent impeachment production is not what happens this afternoon, or by Christmas or in the election next fall. The greatest danger is what this will do in the days ahead to our 243-year experiment in self-governance and what effect this foolish, new precedent – this Pandora’s box – will have upon our beleaguered nation six or seven years from now, a decade now from now, in the ruins of public liberty that are created by this short-sighted exercise today.” To watch Johnson’s full remarks, click here. |
