    Less than Zero. He would have written it in sharpie. Besides , Trump doesn't have the ability to write that. If he wrote a letter to the House, it would appear as though it came from a third grader.

    Most likely, Cippolone wrote a draft, and then read it to Trump line by line, and took dictation as Trump told him how to 'fix it'.
    If a sentence ends in a period, it's Cippolone. If an exclamation point, it's Trump!

    True. And there's actually a law against a lawyer getting a client to sign something the client doesn't understand.

    Presidents don't have time to write letters, if they are doing their job. They have staff for that.

    Obama didn't write Dreams from my Father. And he wasn't even a President

    But that doesn't apply to Trump, since he doesn't do his job.

    Nor does he drive himself to meetings, or fly bombers over Syria.

    He's the Leader of the Free World, and Obama left him a huge mess to clean up after his 8-year party on the taxpayers' dollars.

    His job is to hire the best people to get his policies and programs enacted quickly and successfully, and fire the ones who fail or obstruct.

    He has a staff for menial tasks.

    If that seems impractical to you, you can write a letter of complaint to: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, D.C. 20500, U.S

    Fitton: How to Stop Impeachment Now

    The fraudulent House impeachment effort has matters exactly backward. President Trump didn’t commit high crimes, he is a crime victim. If anyone should be put on trial in the Senate, it is Rep. Adam Schiff.

    The more facts continue to be revealed about the deep state coup attempt against the president, the worse Schiff looks. Justice Department Inspector General Horowitz’s report and hearing testimony last week on the abuse of the FISA process is the latest evidence of the collusion between members of Obama’s FBI and the Clinton campaign to try to destroy Donald Trump.

    The IG findings, which further tied the Bureau to promoting the Clinton-funded and wholly fabricated Steele dossier, are parallel to the Mueller investigation’s findings that the Russian collusion narrative was a big lie. Yet this phony narrative became the basis for the FBI to lie to the courts and to the American people, and to break the law to target President Trump.

    The current impeachment farce builds on this model, using a manufactured scandal, amplified through the media echo chamber, and orchestrated by one of the central Congressional plotters in Russiagate, Adam Schiff.

    The Horowitz report proves what we at Judicial Watch have been saying for some time, that Schiff has consistently lied, dissembled and misled when it comes to the Russian collusion hoax. In 2018 Schiff insisted that the “DOJ met the rigor, transparency and evidentiary basis needed to meet FISA’s probable cause requirement.” We now know that this was not true; in fact the FBI fabricated evidence to get what it wanted.

    Schiff said the FBI did not hide relevant or exculpatory information from judges when seeking FISA warrants. This also was false; exculpatory evidence regarding Carter Page was consistently and systematically omitted from the process. And Schiff maintained what all the Russia collusion hoaxsters agreed upon, that the FBI did not rely primarily on the Clinton-funded and 100% discredited Steele dossier to convince the courts to issue the warrants. Again, a total lie; according to the Horowitz report the dossier plated the “central and essential role” in the illicit process.

    Schiff’s Russiagate misconduct set the stage for his central role in the Democrats’ Plan B impeachment effort: the Ukraine hoax. But the impeachment by the House can still be stopped by announcing now that Adam Schiff would be required to testify in a Senate mini-trial concerning his role in concocting this scandal.

    Specifically, the Senate should not proceed to full consideration of any impeachment referral from the House until it evaluates the serious evidence of prosecutorial misconduct by House impeachment leader Schiff. If it is clear that Schiff and his coup cabal will have to answer tough questions in the Senate, the House impeachment effort may collapse rather than risk exposure of its core abuses.

    Schiff’s misconduct includes but is not limited to his collusion with the whistleblower and those who leaked information related to the complaint. The timeline of these events, Schiff’s role in them, and his staff’s contacts with the whistleblower, all need to be investigated.

    Schiff also stunned Washington when he subpoenaed and released private phone records of his political enemies in his impeachment report.

    Schiff’s underhanded move was ethically – as well as legally – suspect. He spied on a fellow member of Congress (Rep. Devin Nunes), on a working journalist (John Solomon), and the president’s personal lawyers (Rudy Giuliani and Jay Sekulow). Like President Trump, these innocent Americans are victims of Schiff’s undoubtedly illicit and potentially criminal abuse of power.

    In addition to perhaps stopping impeachment dead, pursuing this preliminary hearing would be an effective way for Schiff and a limited number of other witnesses to testify so that the public is educated about the sham. This could expose the abusive nature of the impeachment and its fraudulent predicates without the need for a full-blown Senate trial.

    You never replace a cat. But so many cats need good homes. Hopefully your cat's spirit in time will move you to share your lives with another furry friend, @yankeesince59

    Independent voter on Pelosi's reason for impeachment: 'She's insulting my intelligence'
    By Victor Garcia | Fox News

    A voter who confronted an Oklahoma congresswoman over the impeachment of President Trump told Fox News Tuesday she was inspired to speak out after hearing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., say that "our Constitution was at stake" if the president was not impeached.

    "I'm not a political person by any means. And I was watching the television and Speaker Pelosi looked at me and said, 'Our constitution is at stake if we don't impeach the president.' And then she went on to tell me that this is not a political matter," Susan Jaslow, an independent voter in Oklahoma, told "The Story with Martha MacCallum. "And I was just highly insulted. She's insulting my intelligence. I mean, that's absolutely ludicrous."

    DEM REP FROM TRUMP DISTRICT FACES ROWDY TOWN HALL, BOOS AFTER BACKING IMPEACHMENT

    Jaslow recently attended a town hall hosted by Rep. Kendra Horn, D-Okla., who is one of 31 House Democrats elected from a district Trump carried in 2016, and advised the congresswoman to not vote for impeachment.

    "He's a duly elected president and I feel it is not your responsibility to take somebody that was duly elected out of office. Let me do that," Jaslow told Horn at the Dec. 8th meeting. "So, as an independent voter, I think you're in a lot of trouble if you vote for this impeachment."

    Horn announced Tuesday that she would vote in favor of impeachment.

    Jaslow called Horn's announcement dishonest and accused the congresswoman of nullifying her vote.

    "I felt she had no right to do that. Let the voters, 63 million people that voted for Trump leave him in office or take him out," Jaslow said. "And she had no right to do that."

    The Democrat-led House Rules Committee on Tuesday dove into a marathon session to prepare the ground rules for what is likely to be a furious showdown on the House floor to adopt articles of impeachment against Trump.

    Jaslow called for an end to partisan "bickering" and warned there are many who feel the same way she does.

    "We're very mad. We're very angry. We just want our country back," Jaslow said. "We want everybody to play nice."
