Just want to drop this here.
Matt Gaetz (FL) pushing back on the partisan professor yesterday. I observed that she was clearly emotional and therefore showing a bias on her opening statement. That proved to be true as the evidence moved forward.
Great exchange!
Gaetz: Professor Karlan, you gave a thousand bucks to Elizabeth Warren, right?
Karlan: I believe so.
Gaetz: You gave twelve hundred bucks to Barack Obama?
Karlan: I have no reason to question that.
Gaetz: You gave two thousand bucks to Hillary Clinton?
Karlan: That’s correct.
Gaetz: Why so much more for Hillary than the other two?
Karlan:
Because I’ve been giving a lot of money to charity recently because of all the poor people in the United States.
Gaetz:
Well, those aren’t the only folks you’ve been giving to. Have you ever been on a podcast called “Versus Trump”?
Karlan: I think I was on a live panel that the people who ran the podcast called it “Versus Trump.”
Gaetz: Do you remember saying the following. “Liberals tend to cluster more. Conservatives – especially very conservative people – tend to spread out more, perhaps because they don’t even want to be around themselves.” Did you say that?
Karlan: Yes, I did.
Gaetz: Do you understand how that reflects contempt on people who are conservative?
Karlan: No, what I was talking about there was the natural tendency – if you put the quote in context – the natural tendency of a compactness requirement to favor a party whose voters are more spread out. And I do not have contempt for conservatives….
Gaetz I have to say when you talk about how liberals want to be around each other and cluster, and conservatives don’t want to be around each other and want to spread out, it makes people …. you may not see this from, like, the ivory towers of your law school, but it makes actual people in this country You don’t get to interrupt me on this time. Now let me also suggest that when you invoke the President’s son’s name here, when you try to make a little joke out of referencing Barron Trump, that does not lend credibility to your argument. It makes you look mean. It makes you look like you’re attacking someone’s family – the minor child of the President of the United States. So let’s see if we can get into the facts. To all of the witnesses, if you have personal knowledge of a single material fact in the Schiff report, please raise your hand. And let the record reflect, no personal knowledge of a single fact, and you know what? That continues on the tradition that we saw out of Adam Schiff, where Ambassador Taylor could not identify an impeachable offense, Mr. Kent never met with the President, Fiona Hill never heard the President reference anything regarding military aid, Mr. Hale was unaware of any nefarious activity with aid, Colonel Vindman even rejected the Democrat talking point that bribery was invoked here, Ambassador Volker denied there was a quid pro quo, and Mr. Morrison said there was nothing wrong on the call. The only direct evidence came from Gordon Sondland, who spoke to the President of the United States, and the President said, “I want nothing. No quid pro quo.” And you know what? If wiretapping a political opponent is an impeachable offense, I look forward to reading the Inspector General’s report because maybe it’s a different president we should be impeaching.
And then the video rolls out when she said that she crossed the street to pass the Trump Tower. LOL! These people are sick and childish and are professors in our law schools!!!
George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley stayed with the rule of law and the Constitution. I heard someone comment that he ran a great ad for George Washington University. LOL! Probably so.
And now Nancy Pelosi moves to draw up articles of impeachment. She didn't look very happy saying it. And I am sure no one believes her when she says that they are being prayerful about it. LOL!
