Dems Had Their Asses Handed To Them (Day 2 | Perjury Update)

Published by Papa Giorgio

Remember, just like in Clinton’s case… the impeachment fortified his popularity with the people. SO TO is this happening (as predicted) with Trump… already his popularity is up 4-points. And it is rooted in people seeing the following ass-whoopin’ by the GOP on Democratic shenanigans. NUNES hits another one out of the ballpark. House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes makes his opening statement during the second public impeachment hearing.

30-second tear-down (GOP setting records):

BTW, for your reading pleasure: LEGAL INSURRECTION, excellent write up of Elise Stefanik. Here is more from RIGHT SCOOP:

…Stefanik points out that Yovanovitch testified that she participated in practice confirmation hearings in the Obama administration, taking practice questions specifically regarding Hunter Biden being hired on Burisma’s board.

Stefanik then drops her payload:

“So for the millions of Americans watching, President Obama’s own State Department was so concerned about potential conflicts of interest from Hunter Biden’s role at Burisma that they raised it themselves while prepping this wonderful ambassador nominee before her confirmation. And yet our Democratic colleagues and the chairman of this committee cry foul when we dare ask that same question that the Obama state department was so concerned about.”

So there you go. It was a huge concern for Obama’s own state department but nobody else is allowed to bring it up? And remember, this ‘prepping’ was well before Biden’s infamous comments on it that gave life to Republican concerns about it.

Levin responded to Stefanik’s testimony this way:

Two MIC DROP moments from yesterday!

PERJURY UPDATE

IN FACT, RED STATE points out that Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch may have perjured herself:

…But another thing caught my eye and the eye of several other conservatives following things live – It really, really looks like Yovanovitch committed perjury today. 

I remember seeing this live and thinking “huh?”

Early on in her testimony, she stated under oath that the issue of Hunter Biden and Burisma was never brought up to her by the previous administration. Later, though, Rep. Stefanik finally got to ask some questions and that’s where things went off the rails. Under intense questioning, including reading of her prior closed-door testimony, Yovanovitch was forced to admit that the previous administration had indeed brought up the Biden/Burisma issue to her.

And lest someone argue it may have been a forgettable affair, it wasn’t just in passing. The Obama officials prepping her were apparently so concerned about the issue being raised that it was part of her mock Q and A to get ready for her nomination hearing. These are issues she studied up on and she clearly was aware that the previous administration had briefed her on the matter. Yet, we see her pretty clearly lie about it early on in today’s hearing, only admitting it after being pressed with her prior testimony.

That sure sounds like perjury to me….

The DAILY WIRE also notes the discrepancy in testimony:

…Yet, earlier during the hearing Yovanovitch gave what appeared to be contradictory remarks.

Yovanovitch said, “And although I have met former Vice President Biden several times over the course of our many years in government service, neither he nor the previous administration ever raised the issue of either Burisma or Hunter Biden with me.”

[…]

WOW! And this may not be the only time — unfortunately (FEDERALIST):

  • Yovanovitch Emailed With Dem Staffer After Whistleblower Complaint, Contradicting Under-Oath Testimony: What makes the email particularly unsettling is that it indicates former Ukraine ambassador Marie Yovanovitch possibly committed perjury during her ‘impeachment inquiry’ deposition, where  he was questioned under oath.
