It's A Wrap...

…And A Rap On The Knuckles

With the vote to release the need for any more witnesses, the Senate has moved on from this whole charade of an Impeachment trial.  It’s a shame that they didn’t hold their final vote, on the question of acquittal itself, at the same time, or at least the same day, and clear the air for Pres. Trump’s State of the Union Address next week to concentrate on more important issues.  But what’s done is done.  Except for some reverberations; and one of such that I particularly like has been delivered by Ed Martin, President of the Phyllis Schlafly Eagles, as follows:  

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: JANUARY 31, 2020 Ed Martin to Adam Schiff: No One is Above the Law Washington, D.C.:  Ed Martin, president of Phyllis Schlafly Eagles, filed a FOIA request today with Rep. Adam Schiff's office demanding copies of all digital and paper correspondence between Schiff, his staff, and former NSC staff Eric Ciaramella. Mr. Martin delivered the request by hand this morning to Schiff’s office.  "Adam Schiff has paraded this blatantly political sham in front of the cameras long enough," said Martin. "Schiff and his staff have wasted taxpayer dollars and precious time Congress should be using to work for the American people. We must demand these partisan hacks reveal the true roots of their plot against our duly elected president. "I demand that Adam Schiff hold himself to the same standard he's been preaching about in the Senate chambers. You're absolutely right, Adam — no one is above the law. It's time for House Manager Schiff to put himself under the spotlight of FOIA and produce all communication between him, his team, and an Obama-era political appointee named Eric Ciaramella [the so-called whistleblower]. That name has long  been associated with members of Schiff's staff. There is overwhelming digital evidence suggesting the current impeachment is the direct result of a coordinated attack on our president that began even before he took the oath of office. "This is a sham impeachment in search of a crime. We must turn on the lights of transparency, shut down this insane congressional gridlock, and force the people's elected representatives to get back to real work. Adam Schiff can lead the way by releasing the documents we demand — without delay. Turn over the Ciaramella information now!" --- “If we don’t impeach this guy, he will get re-elected!” - Rep. Al Green
