SCOTUS Deals a Blow to House Judiciary’s 2nd Impeachment Probe

This Jay Sekulow loan to the house and its apparent. Second, lines are open for your questions right now called one 800-6843 1-101-800-6841 two and now chief counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice Jay Sekulow you know every day there right so many levels.

Today the Supreme Court actually did this last night grants a request from the President through the department just the solicitor Gen. to block disclosure of Robert Muller's underlying grand jury material mothers a lot of constitutional reasons why that would be blocked, including executive privilege, including agreements are made between special counsel in the White House as documents tens of thousands of documents were sent back and forth. Remember there was a lot of documents that were transferred. The court just said that the grant the emergency request from the ministration, the Court of Appeals had gone against the President and that the materials will may be kept in that redacted her secret status right now.

It was a secret grand jury proceeding material usually is That white now. Nancy Pelosi said that she is what she said this was that the house had the right to see the summary misquote to see grand jury information which was requested by the Judiciary Committee. Then she says, quote the Justice Department continued delay as part of a pattern of administration hiding the truth from the public within the writing got understand this. She then goes on to say okay now Maria, this is what's coming out of the hill Judiciary Committee delaying the release would seriously endanger the committee's ability to read this folks complete its impeachment investigation during the current Congress now ending. We just handled the impeachment event during the current Congress. We literally finish that up three nap months ago that tried coming with that of the Senate for three weeks. J. The impeachment went through the House of Representatives channels it was carried over ceremoniously to the Senate. The Senate heard evidence day after day, night after night literally into the night and loaded that the President should not be convicted of the crimes charged. The Chief Justice says to presiding officer discharged him and of the impeachment. I thought it was all over I we now back for a second impeachment.

How many times are we going to try derailing the proctors President from the duly elected position to which he was but by the people. Well, apparently they consider doing that now and or they think they are and then you have a good phrase for this just moments ago what you say with a buzzword on the hill J is ongoing. This investigation into impeaching the present United States can be ongoing.

We heard that from chairmanship.

We've heard from Chairman Nadler reported for Speaker Pelosi and Jay I would tell you there is just an obsession with continuing this investigation. I would tell you, probably as long as the President's office.

That would also give you one motive. J. I think there's one very compelling note motive for why they have to continue doing this is to keep the attention off of those who cooked up this scheme. People like James Comey. People like Adam Schiff who coordinated with the whistleblower people even judge it J like Pres. Obama and VP Biden. If you keep the impeachment narrative going and you keep the investigation go court" ongoing.

Maybe there'll be less attention on those figures in the in the brief filed with the Supreme Court. Just so you understand what were dealing with in the brief filed with the Supreme Court of the United States. The committee said it is still needed and is needed because the impeachment program is ongoing. It told the court that had procedures in place to protect confidentiality. I have an answer for this nonsense political nonsense that there again dragging the courts in and of course once they once they utilize the ports we have an obligation here, the department just listed to defend the President see not just the President it's the office of the President as well.

Also, let me encourage you again.

If you are enjoying this broadcast appreciate the work were doing thirds third single organ to take up little deviation from this topic today and for a few minutes. Talk about a life is going now look like major case. I will talk about that will take your calls at 800-684-3110 ACLJ.org challenges facing Americans for substantial time in our Valley freedom sword constitutional rights are under attack more important than ever to stand with the American Center for Law and Justice for decades.

The American Center for Law and Justice is on your side, you're already a member. Thank you.

Is there any hope for that culture to survive.

And that's exactly what you are saying when you stand with the American Center for Law and Justice defend the rights of life, we've created a free powerful publication offering a panoramic view of the ACLJ's battle for the unborn, called mission life will show you how you are personally pro-life battle supports publication includes a look at all major ACLJ pro-life cases were fighting for the rights of pro-life activists. The ramifications of Roe V Wade, 40 years later Planned Parenthood's role in the end what Obama care means to the pro-life discover the many ways your membership in the ACLJ is empowering the right to life question free copy of mission life today online ACLJ/everybody professional and what that meant. McConnell what we get like that during the break, I want to get that sound. We got it available. Will I want to play with Mitch McConnell said about this particular cause of 800-684-3110 if you're just joining us an emergency stay was taken to the Supreme Court of the United States by the Department of Justice on the issue of disclosure of secret grand jury materials. Now the District Court of the Court of Appeal said note that house has the right to get that information, we find that highly unusual, since they're supposed to be Andy grand jury secrecy right there. The rule 60 of the federal criminal procedure and it said anything that was obtained through grand jury subpoena, or that was obtained through evidence produced by our testimony before the grand jury is secret and is not to be disclosed, and certainly not be disclosed to re-attack a President who has been acquitted tried tried first and then acquitted these offenses and how long are you going to keep keep trying to dig up dirt on the man who has been acquitted by a significant margin in the Senate vote with testimony from a grand jury you don't have the right under the rule. The state's interest in the Justice Department argued in its brief, and I think this is correct that disclosure of grand jury material would bring. Quote irreparable harm. That's the standard when you need to get a stay for the grand jury process to work.

Secrecy must be assured from witness to come forward and testify fully and this is department said in court papers also said the judiciary committee hasn't shown that the material was urgently needed for a hypothetical hypothetical second impeachment.

A hypothetical second impeachment. There is no way to be able to institute than impeachment proceedings between now and November. Yet no way brothers are going to try to try to say that it's ongoing. Jane actually I think that's one of the biggest fallacies of this argument before the Supreme Court of the House Judiciary Committee is making because remember, even though ceremoniously. This proceeding was taken away from Chairman Nadler in the Judiciary Committee and given to Adam Schiff, technically speaking, the House Judiciary Committee still did for the articles of impeachment to the floor of the house for about so J they had their shot at this I mean there were all sorts of transcripts all sorts of interviews inside the House intelligence committee and when that report was sent over the House Judiciary Committee that would have been when there would've been opportunity for them to continue their investigation but any center-right alley. We have a special counsel. We had full impeachment proceedings. As you well know, jamming with through the house, went to the Senate, you handle it over there and now just months before the election. The House Judiciary Committee wants to pretend as if that's ongoing. Note that case close. There's a verdict in already.

Yeah I know, because Andy and I and a whole group of us spent three weeks litigating trying that case in the United States Senate so tells in the nature of what this is, I want your reaction to this end to this now continue talk continued approach to having impeachment proceedings. This idea that we can have perpetual ongoing impeachment proceedings, which is not what the founders envisioned by the way, must be specific articles of impeachment they had the entire molar investigation they had. My goodness they had Bob molar. Barry was testifying in July of last year and then they brought one other witness.

If you remember forward. That was Cory Lewandowski and that was a disaster for them as was Robert Muller. So what they do what's to come back will talk about impeachment again as were getting right up to election and now literally up to an election to tell the Supreme Court of the United States that if you don't give us material that is confidential and a grand jury proceeding. We somehow cannot function and do our job.

Basically that's what they're saying I want everybody to understand that is what they are saying here and Andy you have done many grand jury proceedings and this is just not the pain you grand jury proceeding knew that this information was good to go public. The grand jury system or network Nami. I can't tell you how many grand jury handled as a United States attorney and district attorney concluded one that got handled for three days down in South Georgia and would we were looking at a corrupt police department and it was just no under the rules that what we got was secret and it was not to be disposed to percent retained guilty as well so that people who did not have any role in what were the grand jury was investigating were not splattered with information that shouldn't of been out there and the grand jury could hear this in secret and deliberate in secret. This is the key thing to grand jury investigations. The grand jury is an investigatory and accusatory body that operates in secrecy so that the protected are both the innocent and those who ultimately are found to be guilty, but that it works in privacy. It does not work in the public domain and frankly I think what Andy just said is exactly the truth is truth on the practice of law. It's the truth from the system supposed to work but then you get a get behind what's going on here. What is the real motive what's going on and I think part of this motive is some really bad actors and those being bad actors are about to be brought out into public as to what they did or at least proceedings will go forward as to what they did and I and I suspect that we know that the during the impeachment.

This was also the irony of all of this is that during the impeachment proceeding.

The Presidents approval ratings where I think it's all-time highs that well yeah I knew the truth comes out and there was no there there. I think that would be the natural recourses of the approval ratings would go out that I think there's really two things at play here. Jamie said for a long time there's an obsession with continuing this investigation. I think this is part of that. But the second thing that you just touched on II think is really relevant here. J. I think there is an effort to cloud what is in the public domain said that there is confusion and there is a there's a and knowledge that Sen. grandparent the Judiciary Committee is about to issue these 53 subpoenas looking into both the Pfizer process and the origins of crossfire hurricane and here's what I think maybe some of these folks are afraid of JI think they're afraid that maybe one or two of the folks on this list are gonna come forward and talking and I would just suggest you I think one of those people might be Joseph up E Ink out one of these FBI agents that went over with with Peter Strock to interview Gen. Flynn and then Peter Strock and Lisa page to comply or conspire to edit his 302 that was drafted after the fact.

I think he might be concerned about his reputation so J if there are some who are afraid that some of the list of 53 are gonna talk and some of the players in opening these investigations are about to be exposed.

If they can just continue the impeachment narrative.

It starts to cloud what is in the public domain. I really do think that's part of the agenda here latte this I here's what can happen in the spring court case so the state has been granted.

The Department of Justice has until I think July 1 to file a really a petition for certiorari.

That is to hear the entire case is exactly what we went through with the case of the three cases we just had two arguments, but they were three cases and it's basically the same idea. It's the same thing and that is taking a situation where the court a lower court has ruled against your position, but the disclosure of the information could cause irreparable harm imminent harm in getting a state we gotta stay in the cases involving the New York TA in the congressional subpoenas stay was granted that was really good news, then, and this can we have the arguments and briefing in this case, District Court, Court of Appeal said no grand jury material.

Both the Congress and fortunately, the Supreme Court issued an emergency stay an expedited review. I still think the case will be heard and decided I don't see any way of hurting decided before the before the first of the year unless they would expedite the entire argument they could not likely. I don't think you will see what we'll see how that plays out that that was the process that was put forward but you know Andy, it's almost as if their house Democrats on this are so blinded by their zeal to do something to this President that they're willing to throw out the entire grand jury system in the process exactly correct.

The propriety of grand jury proceeding, the rule of law and how we have handled grand jury not just in the United States but from our common law heritage in England for hundreds of years is thrown out the window because of the incredible hatred that Pelosi and the leaders of the House of Representatives have for this President to say the audacity to say so that we can use this information for the on going impeachment investigation of the President shows a mental derangement that is beyond expression that it is I can't fathom how anybody would say after somebody has been acquitted after a full and complete investigation will try them again. And that's exactly what they're saying. That's against the system. We don't have retrials of people who have been acquitted. We don't persecute people prosecute them if we can equip them if they are acquitted they go free and if they're convicted they pay the penalty benefits got the and and it's got the and now no question about it and he's 100% correct and I will tell you something.

Where on top of all the situations here at the American Center for Law and Justice. Remember, was just on Monday that we were before the court do not include any morning before the court on oral arguments involving the Flynn unmasking situation. We just had Pastor Narron release from India were about to go back to court in another case and what if I buy that will greatly coming up.

Your support of the ace.

See update our makes a huge difference based share this with your friends. A lot of people only want a society can agree that the most vulnerable and voiceless concern.

The American Center for Law and Justice is on your side, you're already a member. Thank you.

If you're not well this is the perfect time to stand with us ACLJ God will where you can learn more about her life changing become a member today ACLJ everyone, welcome back to Jay Sekulow life and then Washington DC be rejoined by J here just a moment and I wanted to come to you that this this breaking story about the Supreme Court blocking the disclosure of the grand jury information in the impeachment trial to me on this should not have been surprising news at you it to me, it will seem like it should be automatic news grand jury information is always supposed to be private, but of course the House Judiciary Committee, with the blessing of Speaker Pelosi continues to pursue their efforts in impeachment and in this case they want to call it an ongoing proceeding. But Annie, you know better than most that the impeachment proceeding ran its due course. The articles of impeachment came up through the House Judiciary Committee after moving through the House intelligence committee.

After some delay from Speaker Pelosi. They were sent to the house floor for consideration. Ultimately, those articles were invoked and sent over to the United States Senate and then Andy, the United States Senate conducted a complete trial and rendered a verdict. They voted to acquit Pres. Trump of these charges. The word that comes to mind for me as a layman's double jeopardy now house, Jack. The House Judiciary Committee is trying to retry the case and he just plain and simple. That's not how we do things in the United States of America know that you have set it right when you use the term double jeopardy.

You are not put in jeopardy twice under our Constitution. Another word you are jeopardized for your conduct but one and one that verdict is rendered in the case of the President. It was a verdict of not guilty us that there are a verdict of acquittal that you are not put in jeopardy.

Again, you cannot be tried again on a variety of charges that are nothing more than a rehash of what you already were acquitted on and that's what is the House of Representatives is trying desperately to do with the President and you are trying to do it through what an illegal means to extract from the government information that has been gathered by the grand jury through the molar investigation and to try to use that information yet again having failed wants already to convict the President. They're not satisfied with that that they were going get him again and again and again and again until we get him out of office. That's the ultimate goal here is to harass this President. So much so that they hang them out of office. Well, that actually what the Constitution says no, sorry, glancing my just to say I really do believe one of the reasons they're trying to do that is distract from the people who actually open this investigation in the beginning NJ. I would say to you, you know that the good thing in the United States of America is the recourse that we have is at the ballot box luck. There are a lot of districts where the that are represented by eye Democrats and Pres. Trump carried and if the American people think that these moves by the house had stepped over the line and put an American citizen. Specifically, in this case the present in the United States in double jeopardy well-controlled house speaker the house J that's determined by a majority in the house in a real sense that's on the ballot this November. I think it is there but I'll tell you the thing that just so ironic to me is that the persistence that they having this.

It is incredible to me. I just it's incredible that they will just not give the guy at KIA's governing but they won't give the present United States a chance to really govern and that's really what the problem is.

Let me switch for second by waiting on Facebook share this with your friend. We get some breaking news on another matter, them will get right back to this, Frank Manion, a senior counsel for the ACLJ I mentioned, we got Pastor Narron cc Hollander teamwork on that with Ann Bennett and his team to return the pastor to the United States from India was there for seven months else we have on record on Monday. Dealing with the unmasking issue and Frank Manion, senior counsel for the ACLJ we got another matter now a big one involving life right this week. We have filed with the Department of Health and Human Services office of civil rights. Yet another complaint on behalf of a pro-life nurse who was deceived and participating in an abortion procedure that was deliberately scheduled incorrectly as a DNC following a miscarriage. Our client was subjected to participating in this procedure, which turned out to be a late-term abortion watch the delivery of an infant as a part of this procedure that she estimates to be 12 inches long and six months old and literally put in a metal basin rolling around, and our client to the day it happened years and years ago.

She's constantly haunted by the face of this child that looked at her before it died. As if that's not horrific enough. Following the procedure sheet because she worked at the hospital that didn't do abortions until it merged in the entity that they merge with apparently did so. The policy change. No one on the nursing staff was informed that and that's how she ended up being sort of deceived if not tricked into participating speaker. She goes to her supervisor following it says that this is against my religious beliefs. I cannot do this and she's told you must, you have no choice but that wasn't a lot then that's not the law now but it continues to amaze me. Over decades, how few medical personnel and healthcare personnel in the frontline are made aware of this. Clearly, their employers do not want them to be aware of it and that's why we've been filing cases over the years and have just filed this new one this week. So where was this, but where are we will be process going forward. If the office of civil rights conscience and religious freedom division that was established in 1918 under Pres. Trump to address this very type of thing. For years we have tried to get the attention of the department of health and human services to these violations what's known as the church amendment that protects public healthcare personnel, and we never got anywhere but things have changed. Now we have an attentive year in Washington. In fact, I even checked with the attorneys at their office before we file this because it's an older case. I wanted them.

I want to ask them. It is at work bringing this at a relatively late date the response I got was, there is no statute of limitations in the church amendment go ahead and file it will investigate.

Great job Frank, thanks for the update on that. Again that's Frank Manion, heads up a team of lawyers dedicated to the libation panel. Other cases as well but let me tell you something else. And this is important for you to know.

We also deal with a brand-new case involving another act against the researcher at the University on anti-Semitism, on the campus and we are involved in that case also so that even during this pandemic. When were away from our offices and in remote locations. As you can tell they're watching me today. The fact of the matter is we are able to move forward on our legal work at the ACLJ weathers the unmasking situation that we were talking about whether it's constitutional issues were talking about today.

The life issue which were going to court for the release of Pastor Narron or bringing you this radio broadcast and television broadcast five day week to your home to your car to your phone however you watch this broadcast and on the tell you something, it is important for you to stay engaged with us on these issues when we come back from the break. More on the second coat release and attempted second to Mayfield verbal coup, but they're up to something. The screen porch step in, which is very good. What does it mean for the country. Moving forward, when you take a look at the issue, both legally and politically within the framework of the United States Constitution. Let me encourage you to support the work of the ACLJ do that ACLJ.Morgan ACLJ.really appreciate that.

Also, let me say something else here. Stay engaged with us on faith at Jake, at Jordan secular at ACLJ very important that you stay engaged, by the way we take advantage our team up there. Although working remotely fan in her studio but everybody else there will look at that legislation on the stimulus bill.

We're talking about the other day. They're looking at right now working for you, keeping you informed will be back with more digestible for decades ACLJ's been on the frontline protecting your freedom is defending your rights in court in Congress and in the public arena. The American Center for Law and Justice is on your side. If you're already a member. Thank you. If you're not well this is the perfect time to stand with us ACLJ.org where you can learn more about our life-changing work, member today ACLJ live from Washington DC. Jay Sekulow, counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice Jay Sekulow talk about the state entering, and once again, this time to the disclosure of grand jury secrecy material that was part of the molar investigation Congress saying that they need the information ready for this further continuing impeachment investigation. Your probably say J Andy work just on the floor.

The United States Senate for three weeks trying impeachment case for the present.

Faith was acquitted and the Internet would be yes we were. But now they've gone to the Supreme Court. We went to this report. Actually department just went to the screen court to do something specific stopped the disclosure of grand jury secrecy materials but the justification that the house put forward on this is a continuing impeachment inquiry. Take a listen to Mitch McConnell on the floor of the United States Senate and I have the right to continue because Allison and the presence of management do not actually and with his acquittal narrowed his acquittal cannot climbing the impeachment ended in February is not really over. Not really over and eat quickly get you on the legal side of this what they're asking for here we citizen the first half-hour would really put a fundamental change into the grand jury system the grand jury system originated in England regarded as part of our common-law heritage and one of the things that is fundamental to the way grand jury is operated as opposed to trial jury grand jury consist of between 16 and 23 people who were there to hear evidence from the government of the state to determine whether there is probable cause to believe a crime has been committed, and if there are the person is indicted that is charged with the offense but grand jury's operating secrecy under both state and federal law. Why why the reason is that people who appear before a grand jury may ultimately be of any charges I may just have appeared as a witness. We don't want their name be splattered and besmirched when they didn't do anything and we don't operate in secrecy. We cannot get information on a candid and open basis. So that's why grand jury operate in this aura of secret, not anything new. I didn't just make it up.

It wasn't just made up in the United States in 1776 and 1789, when the Constitution was ratified. This is something that is old and ancient history and it's got a reason for and the Democrats were used to ask the reason why we have grand jury secrecy. They want all this strangle the President again. So what is really happening in the second house on this I mean what what is your sense on the ground. What is actually happening here.

I think there are two things to play in the house. J. Number one I think Chairman Nadler still has some bitterness, shall we say for this investigation and taken away from him by Speaker Pelosi and given that the chairmanship maybe this is his second bite at the apple of the other thing the O'Jays did this reminds me of that two week delay roughly that we had after the house in vogue articles and Speaker Pelosi declined to send the case over JI think she knew at that moment that there was not a case to be made and if he Senate to the United States Senate, they would proceed soberly that there would be an honest review of it and then ultimately the case would not win and she was considering whether or not she should continue the investigation on the house side instead. Ultimately, she did send it over the J. This strikes me as her head, trying to have it both ways as well. She Senate over the Senate issued its its exoneration and now yet. She wants to continue to claim that she has some jurisdiction Jake. That's over. He sent her impeachment articles over and they have already been adjudicated.

I recall that we tried the case actually made. It wasn't three weeks and agree we actually tried the case for three weeks in the United States Senate in this idea that now they want to come and say all you want to do it all over again, or we would've only had the molar material we could have maybe done something.

My goodness you had molar data to volume report didn't make an article of impeachment on it because there was none there we come back from a break from the break were taken your call at 1-800-684-3110. That's 800-684-3110 back with more digestible challenges facing Americans for substantial time in our Valley freedom sword constitutional rights are under attack more important than ever to stand with the American Center for Law and Justice for decades. ACLJ on the frontlines protecting your freedoms defending your rights in court in Congress and in the public arena and we have an exceptional track record of success.

But here's the bottom line we could not do our work without your support, we remain committed to protecting your religious and constitutional freedoms that remains our top priority, especially now during these challenging times.

The American Center for Law and Justice is on your side, you're already a member. Thank you for not well this is the perfect time to stand with us ACLJ.org where you can learn more about our life-changing work, member today ACLJ only one. A society can agree that the most vulnerable invoice is, is there any hope for that culture to survive. And that's exactly what you are saying when you stand with the American Center for Law and Justice, defendant the right to life, we've created a free powerful publication offering a panoramic view of the ACLJ's battle for the unborn is called mission will show you how you are personally publication includes a look at all major ACLJ pro-life cases were fighting for the rights of pro-life activist ramifications of Roe V Wade, 40 years later, when Obama care means to discover the many ways your membership in the is empowering the right question free copy of mission in life today online ACLJ/breaking news for you at BNI Dir. is now confirmed John Radcliffe Congressman, former US attorney in Texas is now been confirmed as the director of national intelligence will do we have any details on land we have any detailed yeah I want to know right now the floor the Senate J he's just been confirmed. Moments ago vote of 49 to 44 JI think the interesting thing here though and you'll you'll know this, Senate Democrats have been insisting on a cloture vote for every single nominee that comes forward even though at this point that threshold is the same. Guess what they did J they did not insist on cloture here. You know what that tells me there really really tired of record now but I gotta tell you, I don't think there like John Ray on what I got yeah listen if I were them I be scared of it.

He's got a job is done. I guess he was back as the ambassador to Germany maybe working for the campaign. After this I'm not sure, but he did a phenomenal job, but congratulations our friends are right was good at.

That's great to hear the phone for taking your call 800-684-3110 Dennis is calling from Oregon on line 1. Dennis will broadcast your on their thanks for taking my call and thanks for all you guys do really appreciate it. You know the reason there were in this mass is because the dams were able to take the house. The last time and that adequate setting on our hands and get out and vote put a stop to it by removing their power. They promised when they when comp was elective that they would harass him by taking the court and opposing anything that he tried to do and they are keeping good on that promise and that I just want to encourage people get out and vote. Don't take anything for granted because it's too little real estate elections. Dennis elections have consequences in this particular case with the house control. There is some real I was on the floor. The house, and in any was there too and I will tell you the tension among their side, even among the managers and see if Jerry Nadler was very very palpable mass will hold up if you can. That last portion. It may be too late. Broadcast to do it but there was this dialogue that went on when they were doing their closing arguments. It was supposed to be. Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler goes up instead met and he knew what he was doing that tells you the nature of the tension.

So with that said earlier Andy to me is part of the problem they had their moment they lost they lost overwhelmingly.

The present was acquitted of both charges is the President of the United States and there impeachment failed. He was, not guilty and now they're just trying to continue a form of harassment, call it a day. I remember what you're talking about was supposed to give the closing argument and Nadler preempted them by going up there and you get here since thank Gary Gary J another word down and let me take over this time, the chairman of the intelligence committee. You're not the one supposed to be up here talking as chairman of the judiciary committee there were fighting among themselves is that it was going to give the knockout blow to the President. Well guess what neither one of them did Shiflett is our an hour an hour long harangue now that it was hardly new. I think what he was most of the time fumbling and mumbling around, but this was orchestrated by Pelosi. We have to realize that what the counselor said was right. You want more of this vote Democrat. Just keep a Democrat. Here's the thing that we we have to say and I want to say this, the this matter. Talk about this continuing ongoing effort at impeachment, which I think is just completely absurd. I me I did not always in a justified, clearly it's not.

But the idea that now they're putting this in papers to the Supreme Court of the states, no less. Here is what happened on the floor of the United States Senate and you remember the spokes.

There were days when we were there to two and three in the morning. 1213 hour days and it comes down to the end and the summation arguments and this is what takes place. Could you please respond to the answer just given by the President's counsel and provide any other comments the Senate would benefit from hearing before we adjourned for the evening. Mr. Chief Justice, members of the Senate just heard from the house from the presence counsel is the usual nonsense.

This is the guy that said, executive privilege and other nonsense like he likes the word nonsense, but gives you a sense of the Jerry Jerry Jerry so this is just sick and probably this is as much internal fighting as it try to harm the President is also the internal fighting artwork taking her calls. 1-800-684-3110 800-684-3110. Chris is calling from West Virginia hi Chris how you doing today by not I would just like sailors and Bonnie for a long time.

God bless you. God bless everyone your staff things work that you do. I know that you are one of the few that are fighting the good fight. I know that I apologize to this to the hearings exceptional job. Outstanding job & Alex are opposites saying that that you know on the Republican amount, Democrat, constitutionalist, I believe the rolloff I believe our all-time father's knew what they were doing when they wrote the document, I'm a also a former Marine division are not a Marine, but I serve my country. 30 some years ago in Desert Storm service. With that, that's okay.

Outside that list tonight. I'm a pretty humble that I did what I thought I was supposed to do.

I was raised in a certain culture that where you know patriotism was was part of my life. Boy Scout all that stuff but I just I'm just flabbergasted I'm I'm I'm angry I am.

I just can't believe what is going on I Chris it is politics.

I mean look some thing on this is.

Politics is nothing that's happening here that you actually take us by surprise. This is been the playbook adjuster playbook hasn't work and they're not modifying the playbook plan yeah I'm okay honestly I did there some comfort to be taken in that because this is the way the system was set up cancan the house overextend their authority and engage in these political movers yes they can, but who is the entity. They can then respond to the American people. The American people in November and November, NJ. I would tell you this is exactly the reason that initially I don't believe Speaker Pelosi wanted to take this vote.

It's not because she thought that she would lose her seat. Her seat is not in jeopardy but she knew that there were 32 of her members that were in districts that Donald Trump one and this would be a vote that would very likely come back to haunt them in November and she knows how to count votes J and by the way, if those 32 members lose their seat. Guess who else loses the speakership.

Nancy Pelosi even if she gets reelected. J. She can't be speaker. If those members lose. So yes, it is all about politics. Here's the here's the one thing I will say to Chris when it comes to writing these wrongs and making sure they never happen again. I think that happens with John Derman, Bill bar, I really do. I think people will be held to account and when there is that disincentive to abusing this power because people are held to account J that's when I think it doesn't happen again.

I think you're right to break up about the choice on Facebook asked this question when this attempt constitute double jeopardy. You know, and here's the interesting aspect of this they did not they made the decision after Muller testified after they try to bring Cory Lewandowski to testify and that was a disaster for them.

They then pretty much gave up on the impeachment articles referencing a particular article of impeachment on the mobile report they reference the mole report, but never brought a charge on it so the choice on Facebook asked a really good question whether that would constitute some kind of double jeopardy. Not sure I would argue that they had the opportunity. Hopefully, the statute of limitations runs on this Congress. As you know, that's what I think your double jeopardy double jeopardy me, you can be tried twice for the same offense, and once babe tried and they failed. It was equated the President was you now want to come back again. It will give me another an opportunity.

I will get more documents together and see if I give him this time on some other stuff you can't do that on the Constitution United States. You can't do that under any constitution of any of the several states, and is just an attempt to harangue and harass the President yet again with an unconstitutional move. I think that's I agree that 100%. So the question skin of the final questionnaire than the last segment come up to your calls on a topic, 1-800-684-3110 800-684-3110 or get an invite on Facebook question probably do a couple more get on Facebook and Paris, our team is monitoring that as well. So if you want to call is 800-684-3110, where the middle of a pandemic. There's this talk of the stimulus. I know your teams going through the stimulus, yet they continue to have boiling out there fan. This attempt I guess at a contagious at a continuing impeachment resolution and it's an ongoing term for Jay it really is. There's two things in play here. There is an obsession with investigating the President trying to undermine his administration, NJ then there's this internal battle between Speaker Pelosi and Chairman Nadler and Chairman Schiffman. It really did was articulate and well in that soundbite you claim NJ. It's not a thing of the past.

I think it's brewing right now and I think Chairman Nadler views this case virtually screen guard court got it right but I think he views this case is the chance to reassert his authority over chairmanship out. It's gonna work for Jay. I do think it's a factor at play here. No question about IPO might examine up again 1-800-684-3110 if you want to get your comment and for the last segment of the broadcast. Do it 800-684-3110 also on the pond Facebook at you know were you watching on Facebook. You know how to do it.

The American Center for Law and Justice is on your side, you're already a member. Thank you for your thoughts. Well, this is the perfect time to stand with us ACLJ.where you can learn more about her life changing, member today ACLJ. Let's take your call at 800 684 31 to let go to die and she's calling from Wisconsin line one diet government seem particularly what they want and send bill without any missed actions for you folks. I have six children, one with the veteran I am very conservative pro-life men question that the petition by work right then and on this. Let me just give you one example, by the way, we just saw the release of Pastor Maren US citizen Tennessee pastor church in Tennessee did mission work in India got picked up in India from being a Christian was held for seven months, 208,000 people signed a petition eight lesson seven month period of time. Obviously, which we presented to Congressman explained to Diane and for our entire listening audience you can use other examples as well how effective these are yet the answer is absolutely yes Diane. The petition is the most effective tool we have for advocacy with elected members of Congress and the reason for that is gay we can break it down and show that these are the very people that put the elected officials in office.

The other example I would get to the it's very relevant now and I think Diane maybe was alluding to it is this bill that Speaker Pelosi is just past that does remove all sorts of funding the restrictions on for abortion. It's the heroes act $3 trillion. About 1/3 of which the abortion industry would be able access gates can be our petitions and the advocacy in the United States Senate that he can to keep those nose loosening of restrictions from becoming law and I will tell you, even though the Senate is controlled by Republicans the pro-life to pro-abortion majority there is very, very slim, so they have to hear from the American people who will not tolerate these restrictions. That'll work and use the petition for date United States Senate, to make sure we Speaker Pelosi sent them doesn't become law becoming a look at the 1890 pages that what we've been through it Jay I tell you what it is. It is probably about 1/3 items that would be negotiable. I think the second round of stimulus you've heard from the White House even heard from members of the Senate GOP that those are negotiable.

The other two. Third, okay, it's a wish list from Speaker Pelosi if they would have started.

Without that, then there would be a negotiation happening that this bill is dead on arrival by Jennifer Scully from Florida like to I Jennifer right and caught lying, many times I heard a comment that he can't tell you anything that we can do to change. I'm kind of integrity. Look, he gets elected by his constituents. There's call in the Constitution. There's a speech and debate clause in the end that gives a form of immunity to statements made on the Florida House or Senate that crying when you speak on it when your member of Congress. Sen. house and you engage in speech and debate on the Florida House of Representatives of the United States Senate.

Your exam from any bad actions being taken against you. The only way you're going to get rid of Adam ship is for his Dick constituents in his district in California to vote them out of office. I doubt that's going to happen and he becomes chairman of the committee based on his being your date and on the revolver on the Democratic caucus in the house and the speaker of the house, appointing them so guess what, you're probably stuck with them. And let's be realistic about that. He's not going to lose in California, and Pelosi is not going to get rid of them, chairman of that committee and you're going to have to deal with his allies. The way that we've always got what.

And that is talk about them and exposing exactly right. Sarah writes this.

It just seemed like the house wants to squander our tax dollars with another impeachment probe instead of helping those who really need it right now. Thank J we were in the middle of the pandemic. I would suggest there was a Republican, Democrat or other I should probably be focused on the needs of the American people.

I agree with that comment J you know, there might've been an obsession with attacking this President, but right now, there needs to be a real discussion about the best way to return the economy to the position it was before this pandemic. There needs to be a discussion about how to reopen the country in places where you know maybe the pandemic it did pandemic is ebbing faster than others. J this is a distraction from that larger conversation and I would tell you, even as a relates directly to a stimulus bill that what the house did in passing this heroes act J it delayed the next round of stimulus. It just did the same way the last rites listed and I think rather than being distracted by this partisan squabble Republicans and Democrats should come together and work with the President to make sure that this pandemic is responded to.

This is not in that vein, JI just call you last call on line 3 chapel for the broadcaster on their property value. I was wondering if regarding general plan Donald Trump transition timeframe. If there's anything Pres. Obama could have issued to any of the people who were involved with that that might solve them of any criminal liability. Prior to him leaving office. If if any of the event ever came to light in the future say that this presence have under the Constitution. God brought Billy unchecked in the sense of how they can pardon for federal offenses and Internet that the reason they just do what is not viewable by Congress in the sense of Congress being able to override the power to pardon or commute sentences best exclusively Andy with the President of the United States.

So put it, Pres. Obama done it. Yes, there's been no indication that been done. I know no information about that whatsoever could a President have the authority to do it. Sure Presidents do it all the time is an important power that the President has any sort of a carryover from Imperial Roman law that the Emperor at the right to buy to give clemency, and in the can is not negotiable is not debatable. But guess what it does apply to ex-President and if anybody is the ex-President Obama is too late.

I don't expect any action on Pres. Obama.

I really don't.

I think that's a false expectation.

Now I'm not doing the investigation.

I don't know what I jot down some, uncovering, but it apparently doesn't be some information I think relatively soon from everything I were gathering the reports that were saying, but I do want to say this as we close this broadcast up is important to do this now or near the end of the month it hard to believe that we are entering the last week of the month and just a couple of days. We just got 19 days left this month. I got tell you some your support of the ACLJ means a lot.
