Befitting Halloween, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Her Coven Declare Open Season on "donald Trump Witch Hunt"! Mo Brooks & the Good People of Oz Oppose.

Statement

Thursday, Congressman Mo Brooks (AL-05) voted "No" on H.Res. 660, a bill that, befitting Halloween, formally declares open season on a "Donald Trump Witch Hunt".

H.Res. 660 ratifies and extends the Socialist Democrats' secret, "public is barred", Star Chamber impeachment proceedings being clandestinely held in the basement of the U.S. Capitol. H.Res. 660 mocks the Rule of Law and House impeachment precedent. More specifically, H.Res. 660 ratifies past tainted evidence and continues the secret, Star Chamber impeachment proceedings in the U.S. Capitol basement to continue as long as Democrats wish. Neither the public nor 75% of the Members of Congress are allowed entrance. H.Res. 660 denies Republicans the right to call rebuttal witnesses to expose the Democrats' false narrative (no Republican rebuttal witness can be called absent Democrat consent), which prompts the obvious question of "Why are Democrats so afraid of letting America observe the impeachment proceedings in the light of day?"

Befitting Halloween, the "witches coven" voted "Yes" to open a Donald Trump Witch Hunt on a 231-2 vote while the Good Citizens of Oz voted "No" on a 194-0 vote.

Congressman Brooks said, "For years, Socialist Democrats successfully manipulated and fooled the American people with a "Russian Collusion Hoax' that helped Socialists win the House of Representatives. Not to be deterred by having been caught with their hands in the cookie jar, Socialist Democrats are implementing "Russian Collusion Hoax 2.0', an effort to again manipulate and fool the American people with a hyper-partisan, false, Trump impeachment narrative that, to date, is wholly lacking in evidentiary substance and legal support."

"To date, Socialist Democrats have produced ZERO credible evidence that President Trump committed a high crime, misdemeanor, treason, or bribery--the Constitutional impeachment standard. Rather, Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff have abused their power by holding secret, sham proceedings in the Capitol basement while selectively and illegally leaking one-sided information designed to deceive the American people into believing the worst Fake News allegations against President Trump. Frankly, this process is so appalling as to constitute a very real threat to our Constitutional Republic. Trashing the votes of more than 60 million Americans is no small matter yet that is exactly the blood-lust of Socialist Democrats."

Brooks continued, "H.Res. 660 is badly flawed. First, the resolution enshrines tainted evidence obtained in secret in the official record. Because of the badly flawed process used, all evidence obtained to date in these Star Chamber proceedings is so badly tainted that it should be discarded as "fruits of the poisonous tree'. None of this evidence would ever see the light of day in a court of law where how evidence is obtained is also important. Every witness who has testified in Schiff's secretive basement proceedings should be called again to testify in front of the American people."

"Secondly, the flawed resolution gives Adam Schiff the authority to veto and prevent any Republican from calling any witness to rebut the Socialist Democrats' false narrative. This process flies in the face of the Constitution's Bill of Rights and long-standing due process rights and past judicial orders. In contrast, impeachment proceedings for both Nixon and Clinton, the accused and the minority party had the absolute right to call witnesses without majority party authorization. Socialist Democrats should respect past, bipartisan processes often used and long-respected in matters of such grave importance."

Brooks continued, "Keep in mind, there is a significant opportunity cost to this impeachment. None of the American people's legislative priorities are being addressed. A tsunami of illegal aliens continues to swamp America's southern border, at great cost to taxpayers and lost American lives. America's deficit ballooned to $984 billion this past year, yet there is zero talk in Congress about reigning these deficits in or preventing a debilitating national insolvency and bankruptcy that risks American prosperity and lives. Nationally, economic growth has slowed substantially as impeachment overshadows economic issues. Substantive committee hearings on major issues facing America have declined almost to a standstill, leaving much needed work undone. For example, both the National Defense Authorization Act and federal government funding for the rest of this fiscal year languish while all eyes focus on this impeachment soap opera. Such is the state of Washington politics under Socialist Democrat majority tenure in the House. It's not just a real shame, it is a dangerous tragedy that threatens America."

Brooks concluded, "By trying to impeach President Trump at all costs, Socialist Democrats show their disdain for more than 60 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump in 2016. America's Founding Fathers meant for impeachment to be reserved only for the most serious offenses. Impeachment rips apart America by ripping apart American votes. It's a travesty that Socialist Democrats are proceeding with this impeachment despite ZERO evidence of an impeachable offense. Socialist Democrats ought to be ashamed."
