Impeachment Hearings Are Clearly a Doozy When Even the Chairman Fails to Stay Awake

We've known Democrats were going to pursue impeachment against President Donald Trump since the day he was elected. They were upset and angry that former the Secretary of State failed to clinch the presidency. And if they can't accept an election, they have to overturn it.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) – now the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee – spent the last two-and-a-half years telling us that President Trump deserved to be impeached for colluding with Russia. The Democrats got their way and had Robert Mueller – the guy who was supposed to deliver the "smoking gun" – as their special counsel. After spending a buttload of money and issuing hundreds of subpoenas, Mueller found that the Trump campaign did not collude with Russia.

Instead of letting things go, what do the Democrats do? They double down. They seize onto Trump's call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, saying he threatened to withhold military aid unless Zelensky investigated former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter. While the veep was handling international relations with Ukraine on behalf of the Obama administration, Hunter was being paid $50,000 a month by corrupt Ukrainian gas company Burisma. The real kicker: Hunter had no natural energy experience.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced the Democrats' impeachment inquiry the night before Trump released the transcript of his call. And guess what the transcript revealed? Absolutely nothing. There was no quid pro quo. These so-called "witnesses" weren't on the call. They heard things second and third-hand. So why are we hearing from them?
