Pelosi’s Impeachment Rules Guarantee a Partisan Circus


“A provision slyly added at the last minute is all but certain to deprive President Trump of the ability to defend himself,” Betsy McCaughey writes in the New York Post.

“House Speaker Nancy Pelosi insists the impeachment procedures adopted last Thursday are ‘the fairest possible.’ Don’t believe it,” McCaughey says.

“Section F, quietly devised by Judiciary Committee Chair Jerold Nadler, stipulates that unless the president surrenders executive privilege — a power even the Supreme Court has ruled is vital to his office — he and his lawyers will be denied any ability to call or question witnesses.”

McCaughey calls it straight: “With a Senate conviction and removal from office highly unlikely, because real evidence of wrong-doing is lacking, the only goal of House impeachment is to damage the president.”

This week, Advisor to the President Ivanka Trump visits Morocco, where she will promote her women’s economic development program, Darlene Superville writes for The Associated Press. The program, called the Women’s Global Development and Prosperity Initiative (W-GDP), aims to reach 50 million women in the developing world by 2025.
“As I drove out of the White House complex Thursday and ended my role as President Trump’s special envoy seeking peace and normalized relations between Israel, Palestinians and Israel’s other Arab neighbors, I was both wistful and excited,” former U.S. Special Representative for International Negotiations Jason Greenblatt writes for Fox News. “Under the president’s leadership, we have moved forward to bring regional leaders closer to the long-sought goal of peace.”
Under President Trump, “we will no longer go abroad in search of monsters to destroy,” Brian Kennedy writes in The American Mind“It takes immense political courage” to defy the Washington establishment, Kennedy says. The President is on track “to rebuild the American military for the bigger challenges that lie ahead. That by itself is a great achievement.”
