Breitbart: House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) failed to swear in the two counsels for both the Democrats and Republicans prior to their opening statements in Monday’s impeachment inquiry hearing.
Though staff members are not typically sworn in, witnesses must be sworn in and deliver testimony under oath.
Both Democrat counsel Barry Berke and Republican Counsel Stephen Castor delivered opening statements. Berke in particular made several factual assertions — many of which were dubious at best, and outright false at worst.
For example, Berke claimed that State Department staffer David Holmes had “heard it from the president himself” when he testified that President Donald Trump was interested in Ukraine conducting investigations.
In fact, Holmes had not heard anything directly from the president. Rather, he claimed to have overheard part of a conversation on a mobile phone between U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland and the president. Sondland was at an outdoor table at a restaurant at the time, and Holmes had been drinking wine with him and two other staffers. Despite a habit of taking notes, and despite the fact that he later emailed the U.S. embassy in Sweden about a part of the conversation dealing with then-jailed U.S. rapper A$AP Rocky, Holmes never wrote down what he later claimed he heard the president telling Sondland. Burke suggested, however, that he heard the president first-hand.
In addition, Berke played a deceptively edited clip of President Trump speaking at a Turning Point USA conference, claiming that the president believed he could do “whatever I want.” In fact, as the full context of the president’s statement — a fragment of a sentence — made clear, Trump was talking specifically about his power to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller, which he did not ultimately do.
Nadler’s failure to swear in the witnesses was significant because it allowed the counsels to make claims without fear of perjuring themselves. more
Well, swear them in now and have them read back everything they said and if they amend anything along the way scream it to the high heavens.
And if the Naddler refuses to swear them in scream it to the high heaven so even Steven Colbert and his ilk are forced to acknowledge it. “testimony” given NOT under oath is not “testimony”.
“Nadler Failed to Swear in Witnesses at Judiciary Impeachment Hearings”
…what would bs the point? Democrats don’t fear God, don’t believe in God, and would lie anyway Bible or no, so swearing someone with a reprobate mind in at an illegal hearing is just borderline blasphemy, you’d do better with a copy of “Das Kapital” with THIS crowd since they only worship the State snd consider themselves to be one with it..
“22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”
Romans 1:22-32
…huh, a 2000 year old description of the Democrats pushing impeachment in 2019 AND their witnesses. Who knew?
…GOD did…
“9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
12 Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from righteousness:
13 I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.”
Isaiah 46:9-13
There is a big difference in accountability for a witness simply talking about something during a legal proceeding and a witness testifying under oath in that proceeding.
Maybe that’s why it was done that way, with deliberation and intent and not just by an oversight.
Probably done on purpose so they could strike the testimony from the record if it doesn’t work to their advantage.
^^^^Yes it was deliberate. Just like with Hitlery.
give nadler a break
his mind was probably on some young boys crotch
As if lying under oath would slow them down one fraction of a second.
Shouldn’t Nadler the Hutt be ogling Carrie Fisher’s corpse or something?
