WATCH: Journalist Caught Spying on Congressional Papers During Impeachment Hearing Recess

The fake news got caught red handed.

By Shane Trejo

During an adjournment of today’s impeachment hearing in the House Judiciary Committee, a member of the fake news media can be seen taking photographs of potentially sensitive intelligence.

Capitol police stood nearby and did nothing as this journalist photographed Congressional papers related to the ongoing Democrat-led witch hunt against President Trump.

The dastardly deed was caught on video and can be seen here:

A final vote on the articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump could come as early as Thursday night, as the House Judiciary Committee continues to argue about the language within the articles.

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) proposed an amendment for the following language to be inserted into the articles of impeachment regarding foreign aid released to Ukraine: “The aid was released within days of Ukrainian President Zelenskiy signing two major anti-corruption measures into law, convincing President Trump that the new Ukrainian administration was serious about reform measures, and consistent with Administration policy to ensure foreign aid is not used for corrupt purposes.”

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) proposed that “Joe Biden” be replaced with “Burisma and Hunter Biden” in his proposed amendment to the article of impeachment referencing President Trump’s supposed abuse of power.

“This amendment strikes the reference to Joe Biden as the center of the proposed investigation and replaces it with the true topic of the investigation: Burisma and Hunter Biden,” Gaetz said in reference to the Ukrainian gas firm that once paid off the former vice president’s son.

“An essential element of the Democrats’ case on abuse of power is that the Bidens did nothing wrong. It can only be an abuse of power and not a correct use of power if the president was pursuing something under which there was no reasonable basis to ask a question about Hunter Biden and Burisma,” he added.

“Working for some foreign government while your dad’s the vice president of the United States. Is there anyone who believes this is OK?” Gaetz continued.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) tore into Article 1 , which claims that the President tried to coerce the Ukrainian government into subverting an election.

“This strikes Article 1 because Article 1 ignores the truth. Four facts, five meetings. We’ve known there have been four facts that have not changed, will not change, will never change and we’ve known it since September 25th when the call transcript was released,” Jordan says. “It shows no quid pro quo. What’s interesting is the day the transcript came out, even chairman Nadler said there was no quid pro quo in the transcript,” Jordan said.

“Article 1 in this resolution ignores the truth, the facts. It ignores what happened and what has been laid out for the American people over the last three weeks. So I hope that this committee will come to its senses, that it will adopt the amendment and strike article 1 from the resolution,” he added.

President Trump is also hammering Congressional Democrats for lying about what he said in his transcript with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy:

The impeachment farce is going very poorly for Democrats, which may be why they have their fake news goons collecting intel.

Immigrants Rights Group, Women’s March Protest Trump’s El Paso Visit: ‘Hate Is Not Welcome’

The Border Network for Human Rights and the Women’s March El Paso are protesting President Donald Trump’s trip to El Paso where he is visiting in the wake of a mass shooting on Saturday.

“City residents and lawmakers are planning to protest the trip with a simple message: hate is not welcome,” the Common Dreams website reported.

The Washington Post reported on the protest, which the media outlet said is to, “express their discontent with a president whose anti-immigrant rhetoric was echoed by a gunman who killed 22 people in El Paso:”

The grief and sorrow in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso have begun to give way to anger and frustration in advance of President Trump’s planned visits Wednesday, with local leaders and residents increasingly vocal in their assertions that presidential condolences, thoughts and prayers will not be enough.

People are signing petitions, planning protests and, in Dayton, organizing a demonstration featuring an inflated “Baby Trump” to express their discontent with a president whose anti-immigrant rhetoric was echoed by a gunman who killed 22 people in El Paso. And while the motive of the man who killed nine people in Dayton remains unclear, Trump’s silence on the issue of guns has been criticized by local officials who want action to prevent future massacres.

A Facebook page about the protest states:

El Paso was targeted for the horrific shooting because we are a welcoming city that advocates for immigrant families.  We were targeted for fighting against the dehumanization of our immigrant brothers and sisters, for pushing back against the criminalization of our border and for denouncing President Trump’s attempts to paint our communities as something they’re not. President Trump is not welcome in El Paso and his narrative around immigrants and Central Americans should not be welcome anywhere.

Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX), who represents El Paso, also has said Trump is not welcome.

“From my perspective, he is not welcome here,” Escobar said. “He should not come here while we are in mourning.”

“I would encourage the president’s staff members to have him do a little self-reflection. I would encourage them to show him his own words and his actions at the rallies,” Escobar said.

Escobar also declined Trump’s invitation to join the presidential delegation.

“I declined the invitation because I refuse to be an accessory to his visit,” Escobar tweeted“I refuse to join without a dialogue about the pain his racist and hateful words & actions have caused our community and country.”

El Paso Congresswoman Escobar Tells President Trump He Is Not Welcome to Visit

By Kristinn Taylor – August 5, 2019

Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX) said Monday morning that President Trump is not welcome in her hometown of El Paso following the massacre there on Saturday by an alleged white supremacist. Escobar blamed Trump for the shooting.

Trump is reportedly planning to visit El Paso and Dayton,Ohio, the cities targeted in mass shooting attacks last weekend, on Wednesday.

Escobar made the comments on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, saying, “…he is not welcome here. He should not come here while we are in mourning.”

 

Excerpts: “Words have consequences. The president has made my community and my people the enemy. He has told the country that we are people to be feared, people to be hated.”

“From my perspective, he is not welcome here. He should not come here while we are in mourning. I would encourage the president’s staff members to have him do a little self-reflection. I would encourage them to show him his own words and his actions at the rallies.”

“I live in an extraordinary community. We are the epitome of goodness as a community. We welcome the stranger. We take care of the vulnerable. That is who El Paso is, and I am so proud to be a member of this community.”
