Schiff Rulez

So the two links are what appear to be the proposed street  rules from Pelosi and the Demz in their multi-year attack against the elected president of the United States.

Link 1 from the esteemed New York Times – Impeachment Inquiry Procedures in the Committee on the Judiciary

Link 2 from the also esteemed New York Times – Directing certain committees to continue their on going investigation

Link 3 – How to make Turducken

Very odd rules indeed.  Completely unreasonable in my opinion to use oyster dressing and sausage on anything resembling fowl.

Also unusual is that the ‘Chair’ of the ‘Intelligence’  committee (poorly named) literally has the power to accept or reject even hearing any testimony from the President or his attorneys.   If the house votes that these rulez are good enough, Shiff is basically elected to be god of all things related to Trump.   For instance: (my bold)

F. Should the President unlawfully refuse to make witnesses available for testimony
to , or to produce documents requested by, the investigative committees listed in the first section of H . Res. 660 in furtherance of the investigations described in the first section of H . Res. 660, the chair shall have the discretion to impose appropriate remedies, including by denying specific requests by the President or his counsel under these procedures to call or question witnesses .

So if the President doesn’t produce what the Dem’s want, they can determine it is unlawful and deny any due process.  So let’s say – Tax returns, letters from the president’s wife, people who work under the rules of executive privilege etc…   Anything they want to drag through the gutter, they ask, he doesn’t deliver, if the polls say trash him, they do it.  Extreme lawlessness.

The President s counsel may question any witness called before the Committee, subject to instructions from the chair or presiding member respecting the time, scope and duration of the examination.

So they may question a witness, only in hearing, not in deposition, and only when the top Democrats believe the scope is appropriate among other equally subjective barriers.

(3 To allow for full evaluation of minority witness requests, the ranking minority member may submit to the chair ,in writing,any requests for witness testimony relevant to the investigation described in the first section of this resolution within 72 hours after notice is given for the first hearing designated pursuant to paragraph (1).Any such request shall be accompanied by a detailed written justification of the relevance of the testimony of each requested witness to the investigation described in the first section of this resolution .

Rebuttals to Democrat operative testimony must be requested and the potential impact of the testimony detailed prior to democrat acceptance and prior to notice of the first hearing.   If they don’t accept, the minority is invited to let the majority controlled committee to vote on whether the committee chair person is actually on the same political side as the balance of the committee.   Very Mao like.

(4 )(A ) The ranking minority member of the Permanent Select Committee is authorized , with the concurrence of the chair , to require, as deemed necessary to the investigation

(i ) by subpoena or otherwise( ) attendance and testimony of any person (including at a taking of a deposition) ; and
(II) the production of ,records, correspondence, memoranda,
papers, and documents; and
(ii) by interrogatory, the furnishing of
information .)

So the defendants are allowed to call witnesses and request depositions as long as the prosecutor/judge/jury agrees that their witnesses are “necessary”.  Fortunately, a remedy is specified if the prosecutor/Judge/Jury doesn’t agree.  They are entitled to a full vote from the prosecutor/Judge/Jury controlled committee to determine whether prosecutor/Judge/Jury agrees with the goals of the prosecutor/Judge/Jury controlled committee.

In the case that the chair declines to concur in a proposed action of the ranking minority member pursuant to subparagraph (A , the ranking minority member shall have the right to refer to the committee for the question whether such
authority shall be so exercised and the chair shall convene the committee promptly to render that decision, subject to the notice procedures for a committee meeting under clause 2 (g)(3)(A ) and (B ) of
rule XI.

Sounds very positive in my opinion .

This one is very cute:

The chair is authorized to make publicly available in electronic form the transcripts of depositions conducted by the Permanent Select Committee in furtherance of the investigation described in the first section of this resolution with appropriate
redactions for classified and other sensitive information

In case this isn’t clear to you.  Basically this is the posthumous green light for all of the leaking by the democrats of literally anything that sounded negative from the previous sham court they put on.  Also, when read carefully, they are implicitly not required to release anything else from their previous work product – unless they deem it worthy.

There is so much of this nonsense to parse.

On and on and on.   Garbage food for the uninformed masses, fed with a shovel and closed eyes to the consequences.

So for extra points:

Turducken creative thinking:

If a turkey is moving along at 10Mph, a duck is moving at 20 mph in the same direction, and after initial contact with the duck, a 30 mph chicken traveling on the same normalized vector impacts the turkey/duck genetic meld, at what speed does the final impact occur?
