Intelligence Committee Inspector General Michael Atkinson is testifying behind closed doors on Friday in front of the House Intelligence Committee.
During a break in testimony Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-TX) told reporters that Adam Schiff should be disqualified because he is both a “fact witness”and an investigator in the case.
Here is Rep. Ratcliffe (R-TX) speaking to reporters on Friday.
Rep. Ratcliffe:No where else in the United States of America can you be both the fact witness and the lead prosecutor for an investigation in ANYTHING much less an investigation to remove the president from office. It’s entirely inappropriate and Chairman Schiff should be disqualified from running an investigation where his committee members or staff are fact witnesses about contact with the whistleblower and the whistleblower process.
And this compilation shows the clown world normalization of drag queen story hour aided by the media – and the sickening virus is spreading across America because real men and women don’t stand up and say “no.”
CNN is refusing to air a new Trump campaign ad documenting the corruption of Joe Biden surrounding his son’s personally lucrative involvement with a Ukrainian gas company.
The ad, titled, ‘Biden Corruption,’ exposes Biden’s self-serving and personally conflicting effort to get Ukraine to fire a prosecutor investigating his son Hunter’s involvement with a company called Burisma. Hunter Biden was paid millions of dollars by the foreign oligarch-owned gas company without any prior experience in the natural gas industry.
Biden has admitted in his own words that he forced the Ukrainian government to fire Viktor Shokin, who was investigating his son at the time.
The Trump campaign sought to air the ad on CNN, hoping to insert a glimmer of nuance into the programming of a network constantly weighed down by fake news controversies and inaccurate reporting. CNN confirmed their utter lack of neutrality in officially declining to air the ad. A spokesperson for the fake news network confirmed CNN’s rationale in a statement to the Daily Beast.
“CNN is rejecting the ad, as it does not meet our advertising standards. Specifically, in addition to disparaging CNN and its journalists, the ad makes assertions that have been proven demonstrably false by various news outlets, including CNN.”
Irony appears to be lost on the corporate news network, that claims to represent the pinnacle in journalistic integrity while blatantly instituting partisan rules that block the Trump campaign from running ads on-air. CNN regularly allows advertising content from progressive Democrats and establishment Republicans.
As the latest round of Democratic hyperventilation over Trump’s supposed Ukraine “scandal”dies with the absence of any realistic prospects of impeachment, CNN is prepared to carry water for liberals in the next inevitable media-manufactured controversy.
Quid-Pro-Joe and his son Hunter are not the only Democrat family members cashing in on their prominent positions.
Nancy Pelosi’s son Paul is also on the board of an energy company. Paul Pelosi Jr. also traveled to Ukraine.
AND — Better Yet — Speaker Nancy Pelosi even appears in the company’s video ad!
According to Patrick Howley at National File Speaker Pelosi’s son Paul Jr. was an executive at Viscoil.
Paul Jr. traveled to Ukraine in 2017.
BOOM: Nancy Pelosi's son Paul Pelosi Jr. (who went to Ukraine in 2017) was a board member of Viscoil and executive at its related company NRGLab, which DID ENERGY Business in UKRAINE!
Antifa has put out a call for a black bloc protest at the Minneapolis Trump rally on October 10, declaring that “America is cancelled.”
Black bloc is a tactic in which the far-left protesters dress in black from head to toe and cover their faces with black masks. The tactic is meant to make it more difficult for police to identify those who break the law during a riot.
“Trump is having a campaign rally in downtown Minneapolis. He wants to keep America great, but… AMERICA IS CANCELED,” the call to action posted on a popular Antifa website declared.
The website continues on to say, “join us to celebrate with an anti-capitalist bloc. Bring yourself, bring your friends, bring your crew and come prepared to disrupt the nightmare that is Trump.”
The Trump rally is scheduled to take place on October 10 at the Target Center. Antifa is urging other activists to “meet at the ‘America is Canceled’ banner.”
Antifa has a long history of violence and harassment of those who support the president. Just last week, they harassed an elderly couple who was attempting to attend a free speech event in Canada featuring classical liberal Dave Rubin.

Appearing Wednesday on ABC News, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) falsely claimed House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) “didn’t make it up” and used President Donald Trump’s “own words” when he performed afabricated conversationbetween the president and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a recent hearing.
A partial transcript is as follows:
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: The president was watching your press conference. He says he heard you talk about wanting to do prescription drugs, wanting to do [the] U.S.-Mexico-Canada agreement, but now he’s calling you the do-nothing Democrats, says you can’t do it.
HOUSE SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI: Why can’t we do it? It’s up to him. That was our pledge during the campaign for the people, we would lower the cost of prescription drugs. I think that the president wants to do that, so I hope that he would cooperate. He does want the United States-Canada-Mexico free trade agreement. So do we, when we have assurances that there will be enforceability for America’s workers and America’s farmers. And we’re close, we’re on a path to “yes.” So, I think the president knows the argument that could be made against him, and he’s scared. And so he’s trying to divert attention from that, to where it’s standing in the way of legislation.
STEPHANOPOULOS: You say “he’s scared.” You know, he had another tweet right after the one I just talked to you about where he used a word I’m not going to repeat right here. Did you hear the fear in his voice when you spoke to him on the phone last week?
PELOSI: I saw the surprise in his voice that he didn’t understand that I thought what he did was wrong, that he was undermining our national security, that he was undermining our constitution by his actions, and he was undermining the integrity of our elections. He just didn’t see it.
[…]
STEPHANOPOULOS: I know you support chairman Schiff but was it right for him to have that dramatic interpretation of the president’s transcript of the phone call at the hearing last week.
PELOSI: I want the American people to know what that phone call was about. I want them to hear, it. So, yeah, it’s fair. It’s sad but he was using the president’s own words. So if he’s—.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, those weren’t the president’s words, it was an interpretation of the president’s words. They’re saying he made this up.
PELOSI: He didn’t make it up.
On September 26, Schiff performed what he called “the essence” of what Trump said to Zelensky in his opening statement as House Intel Chairman:
We’ve been very good to your country. Very good. No other country has done as much as we have. But you know what? I don’t see much reciprocity here. I hear what you want. I have a favor I want from YOU though. And I’m going to say this only seven times, so you better listen good. I want you to make up dirt on my political opponent, understand? Lots of it. On this and on that. I’m gonna put you in touch with people, and not just any people. I’m going to put you in touch with the attorney general of the United States, my attorney general Bill Barr. He’s got the whole weight of the American law enforcement behind him. And I’m gonna put you in touch with Rudy, you’re gonna love him, trust me. You know what I’m asking, so I’m only going to say this a few more times, in a few more ways. And, by the way, don’t call me again. I’ll call you when you’ve done what I asked.
This is in sum and character what the president was trying to communicate.
The words “reciprocity,”“make up dirt,”“political opponent,” and many more of the rhetorical flourishes do not show up in the actual transcript. Trump encourages Zelensky to “call me more often” and mentions Biden by name once — not eight times, as erroneously claimed by the so-called “whistleblower” who contacted Schiff’s House Intel Committee before going to the intelligence community’s inspector general.
There is no evidence for Pelosi’s claim that Schiff was communicating the truth. There is only evidence to the contrary, making this statement clearly false.
