BREAKING: Jamie Raskin has just pushed back on many of the Republican talking points in the Joe Biden Impeachment inquiry by the House Oversight Committee:

"The committee has received 12,000 pages of bank records, here they are right in front of us, and not a single page shows a dime going to President Joe Biden... We've received 2,000 pages of SARS reports, and we have found no evidence of wrongdoing by President Joe Biden."

In my opinion this inquiry is baloney.

Just a reminder on 9/11 that Trump floated the idea of having Taliban leaders sign a peace treaty at Camp David right around the anniversary of the terrorist attack and had to be talked out of it by his advisors.

[Ukraine Reporter @StateOfUkraine]

History reverberates: In WWII, pacifist voices weren't just anti-war, but pro-Hitler, inadvertently endorsing his aggression.
Similar calls to 'end the Ukraine war' without Ukraine's liberation fuel pro-Putin sentiment, nurturing present conflict and emboldening all future wars.

I was traveling yesterday, but I gave CNN @jamiegangel a statement on the indictment of the former president for his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election and for the January 6 attack on the United States Capitol.

Among other things, I said:

[Chris D. Jackson @ChrisDJackson]

Donald Trump: indicted at least twice, impeached twice, found liable for sexual assault, started an insurrection.

Joe Biden: defended democracy at home and abroad, created a record amount of jobs in first 2+ years, invested in infrastructure, united NATO alliance.

Folks, this isn't hard. 🤷 I'm riding with @POTUS @JoeBiden. RT if you agree!

GOP Senator Josh Hawley just said:

"If the people in power can jail their political opponents at will, we don’t have a republic."

Let me explain to you how the DOJ, Grand Jury, Judicial system and Special Counsel did the exact opposite of this fallacy.

1) The Special Counsel:
Special Counsel Jack Smith was appointed by the DOJ because it was clear that Trump would claim that the DOJ is biased against him. Smith has in the past investigated members of both parties, handling some of the most high-profile political corruption cases in recent memory. He was the head of the Justice Department’s public integrity unit, when they went after DEMOCRAT John Edwards. He then went on to be the chief prosecutor for the special court in The Hague where he investigated war crimes in Kosovo.

2) The Grand Jury:
A Grand Jury of one's peers is made up of between 15-21 average American citizens. The citizens hear the evidence and witness testimony and then they decide if an indictment is warranted.

3) Federal Judges:
A Federal judge usually oversees the actions of investigators, as per warrants, subpoenas and Grand Jury evidence. This person is also independent from the Executive branch.

So, For those claiming Biden is the one who "indicted Trump" you have no clue how the separations of power work, nor how our judiciary system works. The fact that a sitting US Senator doesn't understand this, or at least pretends not to, should have his constituents a bit concerned.

Biden didn't indict Trump. A Grand Jury of his peers handed down the indictment after an Independent prosecutor investigated his actions with the help of an independent Judge.

FACTS MATTER!
