FoxNews.com reports that
President Trump is right to be “furious” about House Democrats’ impeachment push, Fox News contributor Dan Bongino said Saturday.
Appearing on “Fox & Friends: Weekend,” Bongino said Democrats don’t have a leg to stand on and that the whistleblower was factually incorrect.
In an exclusive interview Friday on “The Dan Bongino Show,” the president sounded off on the impeachment inquiry, saying “everybody knows who the whistleblower is” and the person “has to be revealed.”
“The whistleblower wrote a report which was mostly on the phone call that everybody now sees was a good call,” Trump said. “So, fortunately, the call was transcribed by experts and transcribed beautifully. And that was the call when they saw it, when I released it. Then everything started going downhill.”
“It was a great interview,” Bongino told “Fox & Friends” hosts Ed Henry, Lisa Boothe and Pete Hegseth. “I’ll tell you, it was going on during Ambassador Yovanovitch’s testimony. And the president was, I think rightfully so, furious about what’s going on.”
On Friday former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch testified in a public hearing before the House Intelligence Committee. She said she was ousted after a smear campaign led by Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, who was trying to get dirt on the president’s Democratic rival, former Vice President Joe Biden.
But Yovanovitch could not supply the panel with information regarding any criminal activity or bribes involving Trump.
Bongino said he believes the president is so angry about the impeachment inquiry “because he really genuinely feels — and I wholeheartedly agree based on actual evidence what Democrats don’t have — that he didn’t do anything wrong.”
“So, he’s furious about it, and I don’t blame him for wanting to find out how the whistleblower got this thing so wrong,” Bongino said.
Yovanovitch was the third witness in the formal inquiry to testify publicly. Bill Taylor, the top U.S. diplomat to Ukraine, and senior State Department official George Kent testified Wednesday.
“Do you realize there are three ringer witnesses — Kent, Taylor, and Yovanovitch — not one of them has any evidence of a crime?” Bongino questioned.
“What are we doing here? Why are we wasting America’s time?” he asked.
That is an excellent question.
None of the three “witnesses” interviewed during the Impeachment Inquiry Hearings last week had any direct knowledge of President Trump’s Phone Call with the President of Ukraine. In a court of law, this sort of “evidence” is called hearsay.
Hearsay is defined as
-
information received from other people that one cannot adequately substantiate; rumor.“according to hearsay, Bob had managed to break his arm”
-
the report of another person’s words by a witness, which is usually disallowed as evidence in a court of law
So, in other words, Shifty Schiff and the House Dems wasting Americans’ time and money by not presenting any evidence of a high crime or misdemeanor” or any impeachable offense committed by President Donald J. Trump.
In honor of last week’s Democrat Fiasco, I wrote (with apologies to REO Speedwagon) the following song lyrics for your enjoyment.
An Impeachment Inquiry Interlude
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another that it was quid pro quo
You told Ukraine to go after Biden
Cause you know what he’s been hidin’
And Shifty Schiff and the Dems think they’re gonna bring you downBut you released the transcript of the real call
And the Dems’ Inquiry is gonna be their downfall
Because Schiff seems crazier every day
So you just keep plugging away, Don
Because Americans are behind you, Don
And we’ll be with you all the wayBecause 2020 is coming soon. Donald
And you gonna win again, Donald
And the Dems they know it’s true
They keep lying about you, because they can’t beat you
They’re under the gun and you’ve got this thing wonHeard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another that it was quid pro quo
You told Ukraine to go after Biden
Cause you know what he’s been hidin’
And Shifty Schiff and the Dems think that they’re gonna bring you downBut you released the transcript of the real call
And the Dems’ Inquiry is gonna be their downfall
Because Schiff seems crazier every day
So you just keep plugging away, Don
Because Americans are behind you, Don
And we’ll be with you all the wayBecause 2020 is coming soon. Donald
And you gonna win again, Donald
And the Dems they know it’s true
They keep lying about you, because they can’t beat you
They’re under the gun and you’ve got this thing wonHeard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another that it was quid pro quo
Who knows what next week’s dog and pony show by the Dems will bring?
I do know one thing, however.
Donald J. Trump will be reelected President of the United States of America.
Until He Comes,
