During the second half of questioning at
Friday's impeachment inquiry hearing on Capitol Hill, House Intelligence
Committee Chairman Adam Schiff shut down questioning of former Ukraine
Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch from Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik.
Schiff did so after Ranking Member Devin Nunes yielded his time to Stefanik.
"The gentlewoman will suspend,"
Schiff asked.
"What is the interruption for this
time?" Stefanik asked. "This is the fifth time you've interrupted
duly elected members of Congress."
"You're gagging the gentle lady from New
York?" Nunes asked. "Mr. Chair, we control the time. It's been
customary in this Committee that whoever controls the time can yield to whoever
they wish. It seems appropriate that we let Ms. Stefanik ask her
question."
As Stefanik pointed out, this is the fifth
time Schiff has shut down or interrupted questioning from Republicans on the
Committee.
This is the argument being used to justify
Schiff's actions. Keep in mind these rules were passed on a party line vote by
Democrats.
Eventually, Stefanik was allowed to ask her
questions.

Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch laid out some problematic
testimony for Joe Biden and co. relating to Burisma.
1. Yovanovitch testified that there were legitimate
conflict of interest concerns with Hunter and Joe Biden and Burisma.
2. Yovanovitch testified that of all the companies in
Ukraine, the only company she remembers the Obama State Department preparing
her to answer questions about was Burisma.
3. Yovanovitch testified an FBI team investigated
Burisma.
Ambassador Yovanovitch’s testimony surrounding Burisma
and Joe Biden today is totally damning for the Bidens’ narrative.
Reminder:
· Reuters has reported that Ukrainian executives viewed
Hunter as “a ceremonial figure” on Burisma’s board, meant “‘to protect
(the company)’ at a time when it was facing investigations.”
· The Wall Street Journal has
reported that a lobbying firm hired by Burisma used Hunter’s name as
“leverage” to get a meeting with the Obama State Department, and
“mentioned him again during the meeting as part of an effort to
improve Burisma’s image in Washington.”
Even MSNBC’s Chris Matthews admitted today that there’s a “serious”
appearance of a Biden, Burisma conflict of interest.
Stop The Madness.
This weeks’ public testimony has made two things clear:
1) Every Democrat
witness before House Intel has not provided ANY evidence of wrongdoing by
President Trump.
2) Everyone knew that Burisma was a corrupt company.
Joe and
Hunter Biden need to have a full accounting of their actions relating to
Burisma, Ukraine, and Joe’s Vice Presidency.
