One has to assume that the liberal Fake News Media is a willing accomplice in the Democratic coup against President Trump when they so blatantly repeat Democratic talking points without any regard for the truth. Every weekend I try to watch all the Sunday morning talk shows, so that I can report on the most
Hooray! A big thank you to White House deputy attorney Patrick Philbin for bringing the impeachment hearing back to where the entire hoax started — with the fake whistleblower! In a devastating presentation to senators, Philbin explained first how the House of Representatives denied President Trump due process, but then showed how the House managers
Brian Williams got fired from MSNBC once for embellishing the truth (he lied repeatedly) and today he burnished his reputation as a liar by completely misstating the arguments of the Trump defense team at the Senate impeachment trial. In summarizing the three main points of the White House lawyers, Williams actually made it sound like

The president’s attorneys finally lost patience with the lying, cheating impeachment managers from the U.S. House — and White House attorney Pat Cipollone demanded an apology from House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler
The president’s attorney Jay Sekulow did a great job making his initial presentation to the Senate, and he seemed like a tough act to follow, but then White House attorney Pat Cipollone stood up and began what was an impassioned, brilliant defense of the president.
