West Wing Reads Pelosi’s Impeachment Rules Guarantee a Partisan Circus

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.” Click here to read more. 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 President is on track “to rebuild the American military for the bigger challenges that lie ahead. That by itself is a great achievement.”
