Adam Schiff’s impeachment inquiry is incoherent. Given the impossibility of a senatorial conviction, the only strategy is to taint the president with the brand of impeachment and weaken him in the 2020 election.
Yet Schiff seems to have no sense that the worm has already turned. Far from tormenting Trump and the Republicans by a long-drawn-out Schiff extravaganza, Trump’s supporters are beginning to feel that the longer the farce, the better the optics. Polls show that Trump is almost back to where he was in popularity when Schiff unleashed his late-September Ukrainian caper. And the point, after all, was again to drive down Trump’s popularity and render him politically inert.
From the day Schiff reemerged after his licking his wounds in hibernation, following the Mueller implosion, his efforts have insidiously gone downhill. Once Trump released the transcript of his July 25th call with Ukrainian president Zelensky, the nation learned that the Schiff’s gold-standard whistleblower was no such thing. Instead, he seems a rank partisan and sloppy leaker whose machinations and background are already boomeranging back on those who put him up to this present circus.
Schiff never expected that Trump would release a classified transcript of his own presidential call — Democrats expected secrecy and coverup, much as the deep-state intelligence-agency miscreants acted unethically and illegally on the presumption that Hillary Clinton would be easily elected and their dishonest efforts would be rewarded and kept quiet.

Rep. Stefanik Makes Schiff Squirm, Exposes His Hypocrisy on Whistleblower
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eip14ZOLro&feature=youtu.be
Schiff’s ‘blockbuster’ witness Lt. Col. Milhouse Van Houten. One of the few and the brave, the top 1% of the U.S. Army officer corps (according to himself) and most sought after human being on planet earth to become Ukraine’s defense minister. Putin has to be ROFLHAO at the mere thought. Zip. Zero. Nadda evidence of ‘quid pro quo’. Ambassador ‘presumption and open secret expert’ Sondland could not have made that fact any clearer multiple times. Zip. Zero. Nadda evidence of ‘quid pro quo’. Doesn’t matter. This morning in lockstep with the corrupt American media major Canadian news are reporting the exact opposite. Laura sums it up…

Lt. Col. Vindman aka Van Houten.
Officer says LTC Vindman ridiculed USA in front of Russian officers
A decorated U.S. Army combat veteran. A moot point because he is “The Army officer who accused President Trump over Ukraine allegedly has a history of ridiculing America in front of Russian military officers”. A moot point because “He was apologetic of American culture, laughed about Americans not being educated or worldly, and really talked up Obama and globalism to the point of uncomfortable, A moot point because “He would speak with the Russian soldiers and laugh as if at the expense of the US personnel,” Hickman said. We are told that Vindman/Van Houten’s military record automatically renders him impervious, armour coated against any challenge, scepticism, criticism or horrors ridicule? Not so fast. Anybody can FU a lifetime of admirable achievement. American history…
Benedict Arnold (1741-1801) was an early American hero of the Revolutionary War (1775-83) who later became one of the most infamous traitors in U.S. history after he switched sides and fought for the British.
IF this matter some how proceeds as far as the Senate then Hickman needs to be called to testify as to the character and reliability of Schiff’s star witness. Vindman/Van Houten’s military service record is a moot point in this matter. He has knowingly and willingly allowed Schiff to put him under the spotlight. You reap what you sow. What is important is his motivation. His political agenda. Hickman’s (Vindman/Van Houten’s immediate supervisor no less) comments are reportedly not based on speculation. Not on rumour. Not on presumption. Not on open secrets (around what, the water cooler?) Not about what somebody he has never spoken with nor even met in person said, let alone ‘might’ have thought.
Game on…
